I think realistically it goes: Rush > Best Soma > Shuttle Then I think it may come down to the maps given the big variance in balance this year. I think it's gonna be tough for Best and Shuttle though. I'd be banking on Rush/Soma progressing. | ||

A bit disappointed that Snow is in an easy group and we can't have our first knockout round with no Protoss in it. It would've been such a sweet outcome after a slew of terran bitches claiming the mappool was impossible for T. | ||

I honestly think people been way too lazer focus on pvz when the real struggle is pvt lol. But at the same time the terran players left are not championship contenders either so i dont really know what the solution is. I mean i kinda know that at this point just give protoss players a real protoss MP like they did to have that rain vs snow final i guess. At this point i dont even care. I will just quit playing those months let protoss enjoy their shit then i will be back. :D The thing is that we cant rely on ''balanced maps'' since our lovely protoss players will always find a way to open the sim city and get run by lings or some other BS that usually never work. For example game 1 Soma vs Best is a game that if nerves didnt play out im pretty sure Best is winning that 9/10 easily. | ||

Soma would likely have played it differently, but best would for sure have had better odds. and yeah PvT is a nightmare on this map pool. Terran has super advantageous terrain for tank set ups that protoss cant break unless they overspend on the engage. | ||
