Ro32 Group C Recap
by Waxangel
JangBi's sudden retirement cut group C down to three players, with Woongjin_sOs being fortunate enough to receive a walkover win against JangBi in his first match. Though sOs later claimed to not have played StarCraft 2 for nearly three weeks in the post-Proleague break period, it didn't stop him from advancing to the Ro16 in record time with a quick 2 - 0 over STX_Dear, who had defeated Azubu.SuperNova in their initial match. sOs was full of clever trickery as always, bringing out a rarely seen double offensive gas rush in game one, while using a DT rush to secure victory in game two.

With sOs through in first place, that left SuperNova and Dear to battle it out for second place in the final match of the night. Though SuperNoVa looked to get revenge in the rematch after losing their initial series in a one-sided 0 - 2, he only ended up suffering the same fate. He didn't seem to have an answer for storms as Dear successfully went two base templars in game one, and a series of crushing defeats in engagements forced him to GG out.
A game away from losing his chance of advancing to Code S, SuperNoVa decided to go for an unusual build on new map Polar Night by attempting a proxy factory and low-ground siege into the Protoss natural. Unfortunately, his tactic was almost perfectly countered by Dear's decision to also play slightly off-kilter, with the four phoenixes from a stargate opener easily nullifying the siege tank threat. The game played out fairly normally from there despite the failure of SuperNoVa's early gambit, but it was little consolation as he still could not find any answer to Dear's templar-based armies. After a series of disastrous engagements, SuperNoVa was forced to GG out and surrender the Ro16 spot to Dear.
