Anyone want to predict RO. 16 groups?

My guess:

Soma, Piano, Hero, Sharp

Snow, YSC, Ssak, Light

Bisu, Leta, Royal, Rain

Barracks, Ample, Jaedong, Flash

Then Soma switches Flash and Leta.

Piano, Leta and Tulbo upset are so peak to watch but I do hope they can fight well in the r16 as they make it.

Especially Tulbo so that we get another protoss up and comer.

Likely we would get a Flash vs Jaedong group tbqh just out of the group selection hype

i might be wrong, but from the games im watching, tulbo has reached his peak and is playing the same as he was 2 years ago. He is decent, but i don't think nobody expect much from him, including himself.

As for Leta, he looked solid. Ro8 is highly unlikely, but i can't remember if hes a good tvt player.

PianO, i would love to see him advance. But how ? I can't believe.

Don't forget Ample, sSak and especially Sharp... They are good TvsT player. I also hope that Barracks is practicing 'cuz he wasn't playing that great lately. I can see any of those 4 guys winning a bo3 tvst against sorry or even flash.

eliminated.




also about the groups. I think Rain is going to get picked MUCH earlier because he just isnt in great shape and not very active.


Group A: Soma, YSC, Ample, Royal

Group B: Snow, Piano, Hero, Rain

Group C: Bisu, Leta, Flash, Jaedong
Group D: Barracks, Ssak, Light, Sharp

A: Soma, Leta, sSak, Jaedong
B: SnOw, Ample, HerO, Royal
C: Bisu, Piano, Sharp, Light
D: Barracks, YSC, Rain, Flash

Now I dont know who Leta will pick but I am throwing ssak into first pick 2nd round.

Soma will swap Flash and HerO or Flash and Ample.

I honestly think my groups are way off because they likely rate one another different than I do.

Also I can see Ample pick Rain instead of HerO, which mean HerO will go to group D insteas of Rain because Piano will pick TvTs.

The problem with Rain is that he doesn't need a lot of practice to become really good and prepared. Like even when he won his ASL, I think he said he only played a few matches per day and the rest was watching replays...

My thoughts for the Ro24:

- Flash looked super impressive. It got annoying and stale before but after such a long break I'm able to admire his game sense, decision making and decisiveness again. unreal.

- After countless times of Jaedong being hyped up beforehand for nothing, this time he actually looks very impressive again. I really enjoyed his games. Glad to see him in this form.

- Queen is one of my favourite zergs but he did not perform well and knocked out Best with bs. No love this time.

- I enjoyed the builds Piano brought but I thought Speed played much better. Sad to see him drop out.

- Bo1 can be such a shit show. Best being knocked out by bs. Speed getting knocked out by bs.

- tulbo and Leta both impressed me quite a bit. I did not expect this level of play from them. I don't agree with TornadoSteve at all about tulbo. He looks much more solid than previously imho.

- 8/12 players advancing are terran. 9 terrans in the ro16 is not nice. This map pool is kinda disgusting. They did not learn from past mistakes making OP terran map pools...

I did a 180 with my group E prediction. My terran blindness working as usual however I have a beef with that part.
This is the first and only season I see terrans make good use of vultures. There have been some cases previously, but those were fantasy vulture plays. Speed does that.
Yet, what defined this season was how effective new players make vultures vs siege tanks a solid play. I literally couldn't take my eyes from vultures picking off lone siege tanks with their spider mines.
Also, my main beef with speed as with best vs queen that happened again this season: speed dropped rush like a sack of potatoes in season 19 when he landed a barracks right into the Command Center mineral field and disrupted rush with solid vulture play just with two vultures if I recall correct however against light he didn't last a second. Same with this season, he is good against rush, again, but not against higher tier players. People might have a beef with piano advancing on speed, however that is how mirror matchups are. Hero advanced on jaedong in season 15. That was also a heartbreak, but the winner was minute by minute ahead by a very small margin all game.

I don't get it.

Someone asked it, too. I thought it was tongue in cheek act stupid moment how I missed it the first time.
It is the first televised esports. It will probably be the last. You can watch group B. Artosis goes on about how smash and counterstrike are the only other games with a following audience.



At this point League of Legenda counts too. Its 15 years old and still one of the most popular esports.

Artosis mentioned that too, how other games took updates and are not the original. League of Legends is Defense of the Ancients. One that I'm very interested in.

Btw - What's the map order for the ro24, anyone knows?


Game 1 and 2 - Octagon
Winners and Losers - Last remaining map between Attitude, Match Point and Jane Doe
Final - Last remaining map between Knockout, Neo Sylphid and Pole Star

Something is very wrong with octagon. It is as if they wanted to make a map where cheese was impossible in early game. The map is so big, it is almost as if they wanted to make the clumsy armies sit in the middle while putting no expansions there making zerg advances into the middle of the map not technically possible.

I can see SnOw take the season. He's back at rank #1 on eloboard and seems to be smashing.

Nice surprises in the Ro24. Jaedong can hopefully get past Ro16.

I don't get it.

Actually it's the first, the final.

I don't think it has any special meaning. Just some rather lame decoration the graphic designer wants to put in to signify the progress of the tournament, like "oh we're going from the first games of the tournament from Ro24 to the final" lol. I could totally be wrong but from my feeling from the time I lived in SK, some Koreans tend have a knack for that (lame, unnecessary taglines which they think sound cool in English)


You mean like ktf fingerbooms?
But yeah I share your take. It s likely just poor English
