Oliveira’s TvT so breath-taking to watch!

It’s so close today, 3-2 then 2-3… Xiaose(one member of Scboy) commented when Oliveira was 0-2 behind against Maru that ‘Maru has never been reverse swept before. It’s GG.’ We all thought he was getting another 0-3.

btw. For those who don’t know the meme, Xiaose’s curse is literally the Chinese version of the Artosis Curse. (There’s an incomplete list of his curse history on liquidpedia LOL.) During IEM Katowice 2023, when Oliveira was 0-2 behind against Reynor, Xiaose commented ‘Reynor has never been reverse swept. It’s always him reverse sweeping others.’ And Oliveira reverse swept, beat herO, and won the championship.

So this time Oliveira made a great comeback to 2-2 and everyone in the Chinese community was like ‘Could it BE?’ But Maru is still the TvT GOAT… Close! Phenomenal games indeed! The two Oliveira was ByuN series are exciting as well.

I really hope to see some other matchups from Oliveira though. Group A is really the TvT meat-grinder… These days have been so full of TvT. I already miss Oliveira’s TvZ 8-Rax though Oliveira himself said Serral has already figured out a way to tackle it.

Anybody wanna discuss those TvT stratergy details? I think there are many stuff to talk about, like the starport timings.
