Reynor failed to qualify for StarsWar11 despite both Serral and Clem's absence, it's been a rough 2024 for him. Wild how many top Zerg are getting stopped by Protoss recently. Reynor got knocked out of Katowice by Showtime/herO (and Maru), Starwar by Showtime/Skillous. Dark got eliminated from code S by Classic/Stats and Solar got eliminated by herO. Some of this might be due to top Z slumping, but PvZ looks like it's in really health shape atm. Build variety is okay too, at least after the first few oracles.
Tbf Solar also lost to ryung and herO said he (solar) is taking a chill approach rn so not too unexpected. I agree tho that PvZ has looked alot better recently.

Gratz to Showtime for winning the qualifier. Dude has been just on the edge of breaking into those S-Tier caliber players so often but never managed to take that final push, so I'm honestly impressed that he still has the dedication to produce the results and plays he does in recent times. Hope he can bring that form over to the Regionals!

Maru vs. Gumiho was very entertaining, Maru was so dead in game 1 and 2, and yet he did Maru things.

Not a single Zerg in the tournament...when was the last time in such a tournament that one race wasn't present at all?

Also all the major telecom services have temporary sim cards on sale for pretty cheap. Last time I checked they have sims that work for up to a month for like ￥100, with plenty of data in the plan. 主要问题不是sim card也不是电话号码。 一个真的外国人，不是那种有外国国籍还有“过期”的国内身份证的外国人。 去年春天还是什么时候kook就不给国外用户用了，除非你绑定国内身份证。微信支付，支付宝这些也是一样。wechat国外版本和微信国内版本是不一样的。 反正现在外国人去国内超级麻烦。还包括住宿只能在指定的旅馆这样。高铁票也只能窗口购买，不能网上预定这些什么的。 对外国人来说，疫情以前的中国和之后的中国是两个世界。 反正你们多看看，别选手走丢了就行，笑死。 xD 现在奇怪的规定太多了。 Not sure, that will need someone from scboy or someone knows them to explain. I don't have XiaoSe's wechat anymore he is "toxic milk", I am scared to have him on my contact list, hahaha. Honestly, just a meme about him having the power to jinx any random things. Now jokes aside, I don't think scboy forum has big enough influence to have the government put down some rules to regulate it, but it's possible the messaging service provider they use has no ability to send that stuff to foreign numbers. BTW I just noticed that now scboy.cc allows registering with foreign phone numbers (it was not an option before). But when I clicked "发送验证码", it said "发送成功" but I didn't receive anything. I tried using format +1***, 1***, 001***, but the results are all the same, "发送成功" but nothing was received. Is there any successful example that a foreign phone number receives the verification message? What's the format? Or is it not functioning for foreign numbers?

It's also possible scboy don't want to take any liability having foreign users registered on their site to say stuff the government don't want to hear and see. To get themselves in trouble, which is totally reasonable things to do.

This probably is the first one in a hot minute. Not that surprised no zergs made it through the korean quals given that dark didn't even play. Super surprised that even though neither serral or clem played, reynor still didn't make it through the euro-american quals

Of course it isn't saying much, it is more of a fun occurance. But there could be a world where this becomes somewhat of the new normal, considering that Reynor and Solar are both not doing great right now and Dark is on the verge of military service. There is Serral and then there is a big pile of nothing until Shin or Elazer come along.

Serral is also on the verge of military service.

Big difference between the two though. Of course it remains to be seen how much it affects Serral, but atleast he will definetly be able to still compete, while Dark will effectively be gone.

Name me a better couple than herO and megathrow.

Quite honestly I wish Firefly have a breakout performance on home turf. :D He's been around for so long and has much less chance to play international offline tournaments.
Aside from that I just hope there are less PvP and TvT to watch, LOL.
Who's gonna take the W here? Guys, predictions and reasons? :D

Well where the F is Elazer doing right now? He should've really qualified for this event.
He used to buy bunch of keyboard from XiaoSe(Co-owner of Scboy) and resell them in Poland I heard, haha. It's his perfect chance to restock some for free, LOL.

herO said solar didnt practise as hard recently so i'm not too concerned about him, reynor is just reynor he will bounce back. Also where lambo in your list if you are listing elazer and shin (lambo didnt try here so yea another good eu zerg that is missing). Also rogue is returning to fill the hole dark is leaving behind

Reynor to cast on location?
|
Can they set up an extra match for him vs the winner of the event for 2k USD or something?

They were talking about just letting players join him if they want to, yes, sort of a HSC vibe.
