Wait, "you're not sure why I feel" that someone losing to a character for 3 months would be at risk if they come up against one of the best representatives of said character?
To be fair it wasn't 3 months at all -- maybe 1.5. It was pretty much after playing PL in ESL In Week 5 or whatever it was that he committed to grind out the MU.

But yeah, that's how he always works. Once he loses to something a couple of times and knows he'll have to play it again, he goes ham, grinds the MU endlessly, figures out all the options, plays a ton of online sets, and then he actually feels comfortable and starts actually liking to play it. Remember Bane :)

With Pig I'd always bet on what he's most prepared for at the time -- and it's usually something he's lost to in the past.

I think it goes back to him losing to DJT against pre patch Tempest Lao at that major Dizzy won (combo breaker?). But yeah, that's Pig. It's only a matter of time before he figures it out.

"I still got it...but not much of it"
So sad that Nivek didn't progress, the execution required for those conversions is so much higher than Lao's...sick of seeing Lao and Tanya all the time.

Cause an entire country of people struggling to even survive at this point is funny.
Meanwhile they start bitching that they "only" go into retirement at 60 while in other countrys its been a standard for years going into retirement at 67.
There is always a way out, people just have to be willing to work for it so dont give me that shit and keep it on the topic, shall we?

That was BY FAR the best match of the tourny so far.
F0xy's crawling back!

Hype for that match was so god damn real.
I got really excited watching that match, and to be honest, it's a shame that was a Bo3 cause I could have watched that matchup all day.
