Neither of them showed their best form at GSLvsTW, for something like blizzcon I'd expect them to be in good shape (and no i'm not just saying that because Neeb did well against them. I don't care if a player is from korea or not. I just know that TY and sOs are better than the results they showed there) Especially sOs who doesn't seem to take any event seriously if it's not blizzcon or GSL | ||

So then neither should be taken as good examples of their true form. EDIT: However, yes, sOs has been known to do poorly throughout the year and somehow win at Blizzcon. | ||

So then neither should be taken as good examples of their true form. Marine tank pushes were OP sure. But it's not like TY was winning every game with them. He was just as dominent in TvT/Z as well. Was Neeb really playing worse? Or was it just that he had to play in tournaments with koreans before Circuit started. He was still crushing the other foreigners at WeSG iirc | ||

I think PvP is slightly better than ZvZ. But it depends who is playing the series for sure. When it's the cancerous 5 min ZvZ games then I definitely lean towards PvP. But some ZvZs are awesome so you never know. I guess it was bound to happen when ro8 was 5 Z, 2 T, and 1 P | ||

Sure from a player perspective distances between Nat and third, and how big of a roach concave you can obtain at so or so locations matters a lot, but from a mapmaking perspective ZvZ doesn't impose too many restrictions on a map beyond basic stuff like overlords positions. So you don't learn as much from watching ZvZ as other matchup. imo it goes PvZ > TvZ >> PvT > TvT >>> ZvZ > PvP when it comes to how much you learn from testing a map. This ordering does change a bit over time ofc. For example I thought TvZ more important than PvZ before 3.8 | ||

I wish Gumiho vs Scarlett wasn't a walkover because Boardwalk would have been played I bet. Without that, it wasn't played at all in the Quarters or Semis (cry) it did get the 3rd place match though which is nice! | ||

I think the money involved made most of the players be serious. However, there was not much time to study the maps and test them in different match-ups before the tournament began, so players might not have used optimal strategies, and mainly played as usual. But sure, it's not as serious as the WCS Global Playoffs practice most of these players are putting in currently. | ||
