...on the basis the final day may be disappointing, they shouldn't host a tournament at all (despite the great games otherwise)? Wat

I think nerfing Terran would be too much whiplash talking and not enough actual data. Clem made them look good (but he also kinda made drops looks imba) but Maru, who previously had done so, was unable to achieve the same effect. Is it truly unfair, or is it Clem peak play vs possibly unideal Zerg play + unfair maps? I'd say the latter, especially the part about maps. Ghosts are also very much an integral part of the late game Terran army so reducing their efficacy has to be done in a *very* careful way. Some argue that one unit to respond to all late game Zerg options is unfair, but when Zerg has the capacity to tech swap on a dime it's hard to nerf ghost and hope Terran can respond to mass ultra -> mass ling -> mass broodlord -> repeat.

@@zombiegrubcasts Its called Marines, terran just needs 3m that was clear. Snipes take it over the edge, but I cannot wait for the new round of zerg Nerfs poised as Protoss buff patch.

@@zombiegrubcasts i totally agree with serral not playing as optimal, which is weird to say because he got to the finals XD which means serral is in another level, which also means clem leveled up to another level, thats why i have seen this final 5 times, im not even sure if clem can play like this again, i hope he does. Thanks for taking time and answer my question, have a nice day and hope the next tournaments are as awesome as this one. Hooray for clem playing like a god.

A little callback to some Maynarde squeals 🐷

Glad you enjoyed it!

It's hard to tell because this was the first premiere tournament to do BO7 semi + BO9 finals and 4-0/4-0/5-0 is impossible to predict lolol.

Thanks!

Glad you like them!

Glad you like them!

GJ :D

You're welcome 😊

Glad you liked it!

Haha probably more like playing with an hour of sleep from having a baby :P

@@zombiegrubcasts Ahh... Congratulations to Dark then.

Thanks so much! :D

He's usually pretty damn good at it, but Dark is also kinda a god so

hehe :D

Glad you like it!

What Zergs win tournaments in the last few years? Serral and Dark. The placement of other Zergs is not impressive and certainly is more indicative of the world's best players being world class, rather than they use the OP race.

Thanks!

Didn't I explain that it ended more abruptly than expected and I usually expect TvZ to last more than 6 minutes so I use game 1 to give context to the players/meta/map/etc? Then explained what happened using the start of game 2. To me, providing context on Clem's lack of 3cc was far more interesting than the movements of the hellions which don't usually end games, but this particular time they not only did damage but also caused a tap out. I guess some people really expect each individual game to be cast in a totally isolated way but that's not my goal when I jump into a series. I want to show differences of playstyles, talk about the tournament, provide context on overall player/map/tournament, think through trends, and so on. You'll hear plenty of analysis throughout the series, just not for the start.

thanks :D

You’re welcome 😊

HECK YEAH. Thanks :D

:D

Me too 😺😺

Hope you enjoy!

You're welcome 😊

Krystianer is easily spooked

That's attention to detail

@@zombiegrubcasts 😅. Great cast btw. First time I hear you solo cast.

Thank you!
