Now imagine Larva joining. | ||

Groups B & C: Players that are good, but all have a track record of coming up short as of late Group D: All players who should win it all, but typically don't | ||

I looked back to see if there were any other seasons that only had 1 main weak player. SSL Autumn: Sea (Actually, the only difference in the Ro16 this year is Sea, Royal out, Scan and Queen in) ASL17: Mong (Differences here are Mind, Royal, JYJ, Mong out, Queen, Speed, Scan, Jaedong in) ASL16: Calm, Killer, Ample (pretty weak) ASL15: Shine, sSak, Barracks (before he leveled up) ASL14: Mong, sSak, Shine (somehow made it to Ro8) ASL13: ggaemo ASL12: 815, free, noob, beast, Barracks (before level up) ASL11: Mong, Royal (before level up and formerly known as sorry) ASL10: Leta, free ASL 9: Mong, Barracks, Horang2, Sea.KH ASL 8: Zelot, Sascri (somehow made it over SK for Ro8), Horang2 ASL 7: Horang2, Guemchi, Piano, Calm, Modesty, Sascri (holy weak ASL) ASL 6: Shine (this ASL had a lot more mid-tier players than contenders, but still a pretty strong Ro16) ASL 5: Shine, Where, Movie ASL 4: Mong, Killer (made ro8), sSak, Shine ASL 3: Hyun, ggaemo, Guemchi, Jaehoon, Mong (made ro8). Shine also was here but he somehow made it to the finals on that infamous bag of builds run. ASL 2: Guemchi (made ro8), Rush (before level up), Movie ASL 1: free, Jaehoon, Piano, Mong, sSak Overall, ASL 13, 17, 18, and 19 were the only ones where you had 1 "weak" player. | ||

If he manages to pass with no struggle, his next opponent will be in real trouble for ro8 whoever that might be. A leap of faith. + Show Spoiler + He just got destroyed 7-2 in a B09 ultimate battle by Rush so don't keep your hope up too much | ||

On a good day he will make it out of his group, but his good days are 50/50 at best. He is not practicing enough imo. He needs to play more, every day. | ||

Action over Rain, but luckily, Rain has no T. But unfortunately, Action has no T. But luckily, Bisu has no T. And ZerO brings his A-game to this mess, while Action is always a danger for him in ZvsZ. This draw can't be bad for Rain,and i guess Soulkey would have interfere to help him with his Swap if that wasn't the case. I think Bisu is screwed even with this favorable draw, because he hasn't played well at all lately. Somehow, i think Rain and ZerO should advance. | ||
