Now that R1 is over I figured I would post my impressions of the matches so far, would love to hear other people‘s opinions as well. I’ll probably follow up with a more detailed post later.

-I feel for some of the players who lost in 50-50 type matchups (Capoch, Jordan, Lan, saymyname etc). BO3 is a very unforgiving format and can easily go either way. I think all of those guys I mentioned could’ve won their matchups on a different day, just a combination of a tough opponent and probably being a bit off their game. In a BO7 you have time to figure things out as you go, not in a BO3.

-Riut’s performance against saymyname was excellent. I’m really excited to see how he does against TheMax in the next round. That’s an amazing matchup.

-Most surprising upset of the first round was chart beating Fire 2-0 for me. The second game in particular was fantastic with many twists and turns.

-Speaking of great second games, the Daniel-Jordan Vikings vs. Malians war was simply aguasome. I really thought if Jordan won that game he would win the set, but Daniel did a good job of bouncing back in the decider.

-DauT looked really strong. I know Hearttt is far from his best right now but that’s still not a player anyone wants to see as a first round opponent and he made it look routine.

-Classicpro was impressive to me even in defeat against Liereyy. He didn’t come close to winning either game but it was refreshing to see him go aggressive and somewhat outside the box... showed he was really trying to win not just survive for some type of moral victory. Easier said than done against the best players. I respect that and look forward to watching him in future tournaments.

-Didn’t catch any of the other streams but just want to say Memb’s stream was fantastic as always. I love the enthusiasm he brings to the game and how he brings a big game feel to these tournament matches.

-Round of 32 is going to be insane, can’t wait!

KotD3 is such a great tournament that brings old legends and young guns together.

Really love to see the revival names of Bruh, chart, CL, GoKu, Riut, Twigg, Zuppi etc. and looking forward to their next game. Also great to see promising young players like Bad Koala, Dark and Sora Kuma show their faces on the highest level.

It's entertaining to see players like Hoang and Classicpro putting up crazy strategies

It's also interesting to see 2 veteran Chinese players with totally opposite playstyle (forward with StrayDog and full wall FC with CL) both qualify for R2, that's the beauty of Arabia and this tournament.

Overall "old" players perform better, I guess years of experience in Arabia certainly helps.

For next round, would like to see Daniel and slam make their breakthrough to the goup stage despite being the lower seeds.

Could you make a list of the most worthy games to watch? I couldn't watch all. I'd list:

Hoang vs Lyx G3
Hera vs repard G2
Riut vs saymyname G2

-I don't think the Capoch/Zuppi matchup was 50/50, Zuppi just looked solid. I actually think he will beat BacT in round 32.
-I agree with chart being the most surprising. He has now made me a fan. I am looking forward for his matchup against ACCM. Hoping for a great series.
-DauT did look strong, but he was against a rusty Hearttt. I'll be rooting for him to go far, but man his group stage looks the toughest.
-Loved the Hera vs repard G2. Hera was planning to cast the game, but I think he had some issues with his mic? I was hoping to hear his commentary and to give us some insight as to what was going in his mind when he about to lose.

To me this series had the most deceptive seeding in the tournament. 16 vs 49 cast Capoch as a clear favourite, but having watch both recently, it was easy to tell the seeding definitely didn't tell the whole story.

Agree with this list, and I would add the Cuman game between Vivi vs K4SVA on Day 3.

TheMax vs Valas game 2 is worth a watch, if only to chuckle at the map gen for 5 mins
