Soulkey always gets into peak form whenever it is his time to play. Last four seasons he got progressively better online the deeper he got into the tournament, allegedly because his motivation increases along with his activity. What is different however is that after the first three wins he had a more dominant 2 months after in his online play. This time around the two months after he was not as dominant, and he was less active. We could take this as a sign of losing his competitive drive. I'd say it is too early to say, but it is not impossible. Also his two only competitors over these past two years, Light, and SnOw, and for the last season a peaking Best who doesnt count for this specific comparison, are at their lowest points of activity in years. Whether this decreased activity will hurt their performance or whether it was just enough to stay in form is something we will find out in the ro16. on paper this season is due to above reasons the perfect season for someone else to take the throne. SoMa, Bisu, Jaedong, Queen specifically come to mind with how the maps are rather zerg favored. Even Larva has a chance because his activity level is insanely high. How are the maps zerg favored?? lmao | ||

Bridged expansions are z>>p,t. For PvT it helps if expansion is small; for terran, large expansions. | ||

I'm hoping people actually cook some shit up and don't just walk in expecting their morning coffee to work against former champions. SnOw, Light, Bisu, Rush, etc. tend to play a normal game and eventually get sat on. Maybe SnOw's the exception. | ||

JD even skipping spire and full sending it, so Mini rocked sair/reaver and made like it was a 90s Arnold movie and 360-snapped jd's neck so hard it unscrewed off and like bounced out of the dude's house like a basketball. And then Mini shot it from his window with a fucking crossbow and it exploded. It was unbelievable.

He often does plenty of all ins and/or timing push during these bo7 matches which are inconsequent and a good playground to try out stuff. He opened hatch 12 so many times. It is highly unlikely that he will play this way for ASL imo. | ||

It is just an unprecedented group selection, in my opinion. I feel like since Ro16 has Bo3s there's a far lower chance for true to succeed than in Ro24. But who knows. | ||

Jaedong has a good chance to get through to Ro8. He can out-micro Snow and Mini and should be ok with Sharp. Speed can probably upset someone in his group. | ||
