Congrats to Vari for an undefeated run, and congrats to @Gabriel_Pitt for being a worthy opponent, even knowing they were outclassed going into it, put up a fight in every game.
I also got to sneak in an AI game while I waited for the next match.

Lessons I learned - don't forget to close the front door when fighting protoss, because that's how you get DTs all up in.
IF you do forget to close the front door, and you have turrets up to discourage oracles, and you 'meh' that you have time to get marines out because you have scans... make sure you DID'T forget to upgrade to orbital command.
I've been watching the Shoutcraft tourny rerun and messing around vs the AI. The LotV units make me feel like sc2 is more "open" in terms of cool strategies than when I last played. Lots of cool unit combinations.

Considering who just won gsl I think you make a good point
Probably the biggest tactical change in LotV is that now each race has several common AoE dangers they might need to worry about in each match-up, so you tend to see offensive and defensive micro that is more interesting and impactful
Aside from PvT I guess, where Terrans still mainly try to get effective use out of single-target units? Plus ghosts still being strong if it goes that long
I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
i yolod into my placement matches even though ive havent played sc in forever. i went 1-4 and it put me in gold?! Are there just so few people playing that getting one win puts you in gold? It blows my mind. I figured i should be down in bronze/silver since i barely even know what im doing.
my one win was very satisfying though. My opponent scouted that i was starting to mass mutalisks and he built a bunch of vikings and some turrets. so i quickly switched to hydras/roaches and he just didnt have the right units to stop it.

The system decays your MMR a set amount if you've been inactive for a while, but then it is reluctant to place you much lower than that, even if you lose pretty much every placement
Also, sometimes your one win is where the system says, "Ah ok, this is probably approximately where they belong"

i just havent played a single game against another person since like the launch of the zerg campaign and i dont think i even finished my placement matches. before that i was platinum in WoL after grinding it a bit. but im nowhere near as good now. my apm was like 50.

That sounds about right to me
I think the system decays your MMR down by approximately 1 league for inactivity, no matter how long you were inactive
And then placements don't usually move you around too much if you've already got an MMR

Ya? Curious as to why you agree. My opinion is just based on "hey this seems like there is alot of possibilities" but not any thing else.
I don't want to spoil GSL but the winner is someone who has always been known for having a unique style and making things work that other people haven't even tried. that seems to tie into your feeling on things. that's all I meant, I think you're right based on what I've seen but also based on that 'evidence'

All according to keikaku
I also got to sneak in an AI game while I waited for the next match.

But like Scarlett-chan, I focused and built a lot of banelings and prevailed even without sound

But that is quite likely a convenient, arrogant suspicion
