Who's the most entertaining dancing partner for Clem? Solar, Serral or Reynor?

[@verdibyrd]

this solar vs clem was for me the most fun to watch series of kato this year with olivera vs clem being a close second for the chaos, but i really enjoy watching reynor vs clem most i think, they are very evenly matched and both like to be super aggressive. i think reynor on his best day is stronger than clem but the games are still always close and fun anyway. serral is always great to watch too ofc. any top player vs clem is super entertaining i guess haha

[@marquinocompaniados5099]

For that question, it's Reynor. But the way how Serral play ZvT today hmmm that man is absolutely insane, blocking with tumors, all ins roach queen walk, cracklings and absurb drops of banelings and crazy spells.. Serral is one sided while Reynor you feel the pain and excitement of every matches. That's why I call Reynor for most entertaining Dancing partner.

People sometimes say how pros should transition but they forget that the longer a game goes on the longer there is time to throw the game. Bruteforcing and trying to end with a mid game comp is fine, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

100%

[@sakesaurus]

life is limited too. It's better to "cheese" your way to being a pro then "mine out" your career and never make it

[@qrv123]

completely agree, also people underestimate how much more information we have watching than they have playing.

[@sakesaurus]

​@@qrv123except for serral can't underestimate serral

[@verdibyrd]

pneumatized carapace means the bones/exo have air gaps inside, overlord is a speedy hot air balloon 😅

[@skovgaard79]

THNX for the cast

[@kostyantynhoncharov493]

Saw it live ! THNX for the cast at IEM Kato, it wouldn't be the same without you and ZG !!! P.S. the observer were AWSOME !!! great production !!

[@imaginyou4]

As the veterans get more and more competent at all their mid game skills these games are becoming more and more a tug of war. I love it, this is how I imagine it is to play lore accurate.

[@sojourner3300]

Pneumon is Greek for lung - pneumo is used in medical term often to mean air / gas. W G pneumonia, pneumothorax

[@sakesaurus]

So the overlord gets filled with gas?

[@irrelevantfish1978]

@@sakesaurus If you take the upgrade's name literally, then it's only the Overlord's "carapace" (ie, its hard shell) that becomes "pneumatized" (definition: "having air-filled cavities"). Given that Overlords look and move like organic balloons from the start, I imagine that they're _always_ full of some lighter-than-air gas, but the upgrade fills their _skin_ with gas, basically turning them from a regular balloon into a balloon made from bubble wrap. Surprisingly, it's scientifically plausible for that to increase Overlord speed by reducing weight and/or increasing propulsion. IRL, many aircraft "carapaces" are at least partly pneumatized, as part-hollow structures can be made stiffer/stronger for the same weight, and some birds have air sacs in their upper arm bones that they actually use for breathing.

[@sakesaurus]

curious @@irrelevantfish1978

[@zhadoomzx]

pneumatized probably means "using pneumatics"... or "moving stuff using pressurized gases".

[@steirerblut_]

Yes you did cast the game live at Katowice together with Zombiegrub! I guess if you where really that lazy you would have just used the original video and dubbed over Zombiegrubs lines 😂

[@PiGCasts]

haha omg that would have been terrible, saving this idea for my ultimate lazy phoned in content creator phase

[@moosemeesen3174]

Pneumatic means making use of pressurized air, so presumably they add air jets to make them go faster.

[@soulofshukaku]

It's less jets and more using gas filled sacks to push the baneling wheel on the ground.

[@moosemeesen3174]

the upgrade affects overlords, not banelings @@soulofshukaku

[@ludwighager4540]

First, this is going to be exiting :)
