REO was the better player imo.

You gotta keep in mind that the Mileena vs Kung Lao matchup is like 3-7 or 2-8. So for REO to win the first set 3-2 and hold his own vs PL's Kung Lao is already amazing. Cyrax switch was questionable. I was hoping he was going to pick Johnny Cage.

This is why KL is OP fools. Low hat/overhead mixup is just too good and it's a braindead 50/50.

It seems he did not decide to heavily rely on the mixup until the brackets were resetted, from what I see, PL knew that he had it won from the beggining of their matches.

Yeah but it seems like everyone has a 3-7 or 2-8 matchup against Kung Lao. NRS needs to fix that, it's ridiculous. Same problem with Raiden and Cyrax too.
 
REO was the better player. He had to fight his way from the losers bracket and even managed to reset the grand finals. I don't understand why he went to Cyrax, though. Should have went with the mirror.

While it's true that KL is like 6-4 or 7-3 vs almost everyone, it's even worse for Mileena.

In REO's words (he posted this a few days before EVO):

REO said:
I've been playing only Mileena for 95% of the time the past few weeks and here are her worst match-ups from bad to terrible:

...

Kung Lao: 8 : 2 - It's like Kung Lao was designed to rape Mileena. He has every damn tool in the book that counters anything she can do, just a pointless match up to even consider playing through, IMO. His F+3 goes under air sais and he can hit confirm into spins for combos, dive kicks beat ground sais, teleports just give him to many options that EVEN when you know he is teleporting you have to guess if he's going to do an instant 3 then be left at advantage or 2 and many other specifics. Spin punishes ANYTHING she does (even counters D+4 range), including her enhanced teleport drop. So you are stuck playing defensive in block while he builds meter constantly chipping you to death and crossing you up. Once he has x-ray just put the controller down because you aren't doing shit.

Even Kung Lao's roll beats Mileena's roll..

And WOW what an amazing tournament. Every match was so insane. Wanted REO to win, but PL is really the man once again. Everybody did well though JOP's Cage was pure excellence, Chris G of course, all the guys. Not sure why Denzel didn't stick with his Sub, but whatever.

Also, it's really cool to see the hype for MK9. Felt good.
 
Yeah it was great. I think a fight almost broke out too. That cardboard salt shaker was pure win hahahaha

Aris & Ultradavid RULE as commentators btw
