Mind's TvZ is great, he might upset Effort; Last would be favoured over Sharp if he was healthy, both have some of the best TvT. Rain should steamroll Horang 2 while Calm and Mini are kind of unpredictable players. | ||

The left side of the bracket should be fun, mini and calm were teammates so there should be a lot of mind-games going on, and Mind and Effort are both pretty fun strategic players. Expecting: mini 3-1 calm effort 3-1 mind sharp 3-0 last rain 3-1 horang2 Last seems like the biggest wildcard, not sure how good his mechanics are anymore but he won't be able to get 3 BO or cheese wins against sharp who is playing so well lately and probably overtook him as the best non-flash terran. If last can get back to where he was last year during his KSL win then it's a totally different story, but it seems like he isn't there any more :\ | ||

Mini's peak is as high as anyone. Wouldn't be shocked if he made the Finals. Major recency bias re: effort. Yes, he's looked great recently, but he's had major flops before, and the history of brood war shows a non-gosu player rarely stays hot for too long. Just last season Rain looked like an overwhelming favorite. And remember when Larva looked completely dominant a few years ago? | ||

Rain looked really good and should be a serious threat for everyone, maybe he can take this season, at least Larva died for this... Mini won't go far I think because we got really good players on ro8 waiting for him. I'd say mini is definitely the favorite over Calm, and if somehow mind beats effort I'd take mini over mind in a semifinal as well. | ||

effort should be so much better than Mind that he should have a pretty clear advantage even in ZvT Six months ago, I would have said Last would easily win against Sharp. Now, who knows? I guess Sharp is a slight favorite. Rain is the best PvP player in the world and will have no problems at all beating Horang2 | ||

Hope clam wins for the fans and a great Zvz. Mini doesn’t excite anyone. I have a soft spot for mind but we know how that’s ending after that insane KSL finals. Last looked weak in the group by his standard. Rain should crush pvp please. | ||

oh well.. Interesting ro8 draws. I think Last came out on the short-end having to play Sharp (an excellent TVT'er) and if he wins there it's most likley a showdown vs Rain in the ro4 and if it happens I predict Rain going to the finals. On the other side of the bracket I'm rooting for Calm, effort and Mind! Was hoping for a Calm vs Mind series instead but vs effort should be a monster series anywway. That side of the bracket is thought to Call but if Calm>Mini and Effort>Mind then i see Effort>Calm in ro4 = effort to the final (most likley vs Rain). If Mini>Calm and Mind>effort then I see Mini>Mind (Mini has a really good PvT) and I see Mini in the final. If its MindvsCalm in ro4 anything can happen! But Mind should be able to take it in a series, TvZ being a strong matchup for him. | ||

I thought Last hit the jackpot on that draw. Sharp may still win given Last's wrist. But I felt bad for Sharp drawing Last as I think he'd rather face anyone else. It was pretty one sided the last time they met. [3-0, Ro8 ASL S6] | ||

The first game between Larva and Mini is how their matches look online though, or a long, drawish game with Larva eventually winning. Definitely a surprise. Not the Rain win though, he's been owning Larva for months now. Sharp got a great match-up in the Ro8, he can definitely beat a 250apm/washed out Last. Rain is in great shape, however don't disregard Horang2, his PvP is instinctively good and at the end of the day it's a PvP between two pros, so there will be a coin-toss/build-order scenario happening most probably rather than not. | ||

I feel like 1/4 - 1/2 of all protoss wins in PvZ are a result of protoss getting a DT into an unprotected main and getting a bunch of drone kills haha. | ||

Sad to see Larva leave early, though. I'm not too invested in him per say, but he's a really cool character. And when he's on top, he plays hella well! | ||

I'm guessing it's on purpose in the early game (first 10 minutes or so) as they like to put all their overlords in their nat so they're easier to protect with hydras against sairs? It seems like it can't be on accident unless it's later in the game and there's more stuff to do. I'm bad so whenever I play I always leave an overlord in my main because I'm not good at timings/scouting and just always want to be safe against DT drops. I'm guessing it's some sort of corner-cutting thing where they decide that it's easier to protect their overlords in 1 spot than in 2 spots and just trust themselves to scout a DT drop coming before it happens? It just doesn't seem worth it to me. I feel like 1/4 - 1/2 of all protoss wins in PvZ are a result of protoss getting a DT into an unprotected main and getting a bunch of drone kills haha.

So you're saying it's considered the correct choice if you don't see a robo to not leave an overlord in your main? Presumably so that it's easier to protect from sairs? That's where my confusion is coming from. I get that larva didn't realize there would be a shuttle, but I'm wondering why standard procedure is not to just always have an overlord in the main no matter what. I can't think of any other specific examples so maybe I'm just over-remembering some moments, but it seems like in a lot of ZvPs the zerg will not keep an overlord in the main. | ||

It is obviously better to have your overlords in less spots so that you only need the bare minimum to defend versus corsairs. If you always want to leave a overlod at every base you also need more hydras to defend all overlords, meaning your economy suffers needlessly. A better play would be to just use the lings waiting outside of the Protoss natural which aren't doing anything at that time period to scout for possible hidden stuff on the map. | ||
