Hey guys, so lets talk about the games we had today, here my summary of the day:
Lierrey vs Nicov
I was impressed by Nicovs performence. Probably everyone expected a 2:0, but Nicov really delivered here and could've won the whole thing. Lierrey looked not that happy after the game and I would judge Nicovs performence one of the heighest of the people who lost.
Villese vs Jordan
Was impressed by Jordans performence, looked very ready, very sharp, Was just outplaying Villese which is no easy feat and is usually only achieved by the top 4 players. Villese on the other hand appeared prepared but did not perform to his potential. Very interested in the next matches of those players.
MBL vs Barles
In Empire Wars MBL had much more problems with Barles than in RM and this did not show in this series at all. MBL pretty much clapped Barles and had one of the most convincing victories of the day. He looked prepared, he practised as mentioned by Memb. MBL could really play a dark horse role in this event.
Vinchester vs Slam
Very well played by Vinchester, was a bit underwhelmed by Slam though. Arbalests with only Fletching is pretty ayayay. Hope Slam can recover, excited for more Vinchester series!
Hera vs Tatoh
One of the best series of the day, especially because of the last game. Amazing display by Hera there. Very good game from Tatoh in game one, but Hera just outmacroing in Game 2 and 3, even having very nice quickwalls in the last game, fighting off the early pressure. Hera looked sharp, very good performence by Tatoh as well. PS: Vikings are stupid.
Daut vs Capoch
For me this set showed how stupid Eagles are in Empire Wars, sure, Daut did not do the best job defending them, but to think that pure Eagle play without eco upgrades whatsoever can beat Indians is a bit stupid. Very good set though, but it felt like Daut did not play to his full potential.
Viper vs Dogao
Total Domination from Viper Game one with Dogao coming back in game two nicely. Game 3 was pretty one sided with a good eco approach unfortunately, but all in all the series was close and delivered. Viper looked good and Dogao looked threatening for loads of players.
Players that posively surprised me:
1: Nicov
2: Jordan
3: MBL
Players that I expected more of:
1: Slam
2: Daut
3: Villese
Casters: Don't want to get into much detail here, but shoutout to Ornlu and Lidakor, who did a fine cast on the B-Channel. A channel was all around great as well. Looking forward to the rest of the days.
