MenaRD did very well. He dealt with Zhen’s pressure and gameplay very well. He deserves it no doubt. EndingWalker needs to up his mental composure. Great player but his mentality failed him.
@Asterra2 Жыл бұрын
He also refused to look MenaRD in the face when they shook hands, looked generally disgusted, and immediately wiped his hand on his jacket. He's the only person at Capcom Cup to exhibit this lack of class. I guess losing really wasn't part of his game plan.

What I love the most about Zhen's play is that he plays offense incredibly well because he understands the Defense in each matchup, the Broski example with his anti-v reversal, or how he caught both Mono and Angry Bird with anti V-shift tech with VT2 explosion. Those interactions come from great understanding on resource management and reads. He spends EX bar like it is a joke, but because he wins the game by manipulating your own V-Bar. That I would say has been his biggest strength as of now, understanding his character doesn't need EX for anything other than generating turns that are eternal, plus making you spend your v meter and then making you pay for it. A parenthesis on for me his most impressive win was against momochi for how efficiently he was able to turn the game after being cornered, just by understanding his options. Absolute monster of a player
