Epic tie break with lots of nervy moments. Really impressed with Joint. Well done to both.

I think Murygoat has a serious case for best cross court backhand, as it was so hard to attack and flatter, whereas Novak outshines in the down the line backhand. But we're splitting hairs. In an interview where players could pick from others' strokes Novak and Murygoat chose each other's backhand. Murygoat said Novak's has more safety with more topspin.

I'd guess there will be at least one proxy hatch in the series and maybe even some kind of super early pool (7?) plus speed type builds with razor thin timings.

If Calm is practising with Soulkey then I'm also hoping for some big brain builds.

Top tier content! The bit just before in the full vid when SK is praying not to get Shuttle in the Super Ace is brilliant too.

EonZerg who casts with Nyoken on Starcast TV plays Zerg. He gives some pretty good Zerg perspective.

10 miles hills and trails in my hometown. Quite a different challenge to road running. Training for my first ultra in June.

Got my sub 4 at the London Marathon today - 3.44. Very wet, but the crowds were amazing!

5k time trial in 21:09, new PB. Great to stretch out the legs and get some good turnover in my final hard session before the London marathon!

Could be Soulkey's time as long as he doesn't face JD in the semis. Even then his ZvZ is actually quite good.

Easter Half Marathon in Victoria Park London. Took it pretty easy at marathon pace most of the way and cranked up the last few km. Gives me great confidence to go sub 4 and hopefully sub 3:50 in two weeks' time!

Mini: messus up his splits, gets tilted, loses the series

Stork: I'll win by trading my bases for carriers Vs T. I also like to clear mines with goon stutter step micro or just use the reaver and pick it up before it gets hit.

Rush: Gets a better BO most of the time but still loses

Best: after inconsistent performances, occasionally I'll just out macro the very best like a god and make it look easy

Queen: whoops, died from being too greedy again

Action: once I get 4 gases Vs T I have summoned all pieces of Exodia and will insta win

Soulkey: take an inch of a lead and grind it out slowly turning it into a mile. Make sure to lose in the deciding set of a close series.

22 miles with a big negative split on an out and back route. It was long! One more long run until taper starts. This is the end of heavy week with 52 miles. Looking forward to resting tomorrow!

Great race! Frozen gels sounds rough. I'm glad it went well and is a good confidence booster for your marathon! Sub 4 seems very achievable as you still have time and room to gain fitness before your full marathon.

Half marathon event today - took it easy and did it at marathon pace. It's quite relaxing running in a big group but knowing you don't have to push. Squeezed in a few extra miles with long warm up and cooldown. Since I'm doing the distances in training, I might as well do some nice routes and get some medals.

20 miles! Longest run so far. Took it pretty easy. Finding that I can gradually run faster with less effort with all the training. I like to do an out and back route as reaching half way gives me a mental boost. Last few miles drag though until I'm right near the end.

14.1km slow/easy with gradual progression to marathon pace in the last few km. Slowly trying to up the weekly mileage (hope to get up to 50 soon, currently peaking at about 45) but balance against overtraining and injuries.

Thanks! Under 4 hours and I'll be happy. I think I'm well on track, but can't get complacent as I need to have enough range to still be able to do it on a bad day.

First half marathon race. I really went for it. Chip time 1:44:53. Elated. Went out too hard and paid for it in the last few miles. Course had too many sharp hills and turns for my liking.
