Some wild games this group. Creator playing extremely well - game 2 of the winner’s match really showcased the baneling health nerf vs Protoss I think; if they’d had more health in one of those engagements, the entire game would have gone the opposite direction.
Both Creator and Scarlett have been playing incredibly well this group.
I love that we’re seeing players use oracles to clear creep spread out more frequently; creep often seems to go uncontested in PvZ, so this is a nice little change that I hope continues to play out further. Creator’s games were frankly very well played.
Maru’s first game in the 2nd series looked so dominant. We’ve seen the 2 rax reaper opener a few times now, and it’s looking less impressive, but still strong under the right circumstances. The follow up was very, very nice. Solar held well, but just took a little to much damage, unfortunately.
Game 2 was underwhelming. Alcyone has provided some good games so far though but not that one.
Game 3 was unfortunately a series of unfortunate events for Maru - not to say that Solar didn’t play well, because he did, but I honestly think that Maru lost the game, rather than Solar winning the game.
Final series of the day,
Game 1, Gold base was an interesting tactic in game 1. I liked the idea, just didn’t quite work out.
Game 2 was shorter than game 1. A quick end, with the series - and the day - more ending in a whimper rather than a bang.
Definitely some upsets though, and overall a fairly good day, all things considered - the start of the day was definitely the strongest though.
