OK, I get it. But I somehow don't find it possible for say, jjakji to upset San, Zest/Life, soO, Innovation... all in one tournament.
sOs did that last year
I watched last years Blizzcon, but that was the first tournament I watched. but I'd say, from what I heard form the casters that he upset just Bomber and Jaedong. That he was at least slightly favored against HerO and Polt. I'm probably wrong though.
Actually, that might have been because the casters were Bomber/Jaedong biased
I find it funny how biased they can be about Jaedong sometimes. I got the picture he did really well in 2013. but this year he is just bad. considering where he should be
Don't ever listen to the cast when JD plays if you dont want bias
which players are caster most biased about?
innovation
:O
But innovation's the "best RTS player of all time!"
Innovation did destroy the GSL playoffs this season

Scarlett and JD imo
bomber polt taeja
False and you know it. Unless those are ranks 3-5. And a lot of casters don't like Bomber

Maybe last month, but after his last few weeks I think he and Zest will be pretty hyped.

Blizzcon chances estimated by a bronze league scrub who only started playing this game in January:
1. Zest - Pretty consistent in the hardest region with occasional losses to equally good players... and TRUE. Hopefully he emerges the way he should have done in the GSL last season. Winning it. 2. herO - herO has a pretty easy bracket. aside from Bomber, no one should pose a real threat to him. He could also be cheesed out of the tournament by MC. I hope that happens, I don't really like him 3. Innovation - Provided that he doesn't lose to soO in the second round, or Zest in the semis, he could beat both Bomber and herO. I think... 4. Bomber - looking amazing right now. Or I'm just stupid. Jaedong should not be a threat. MMA or Stardust also. 5. soO - If It weren't for the Kong aspect of the past year, I would have put him first. Alas... 6. Taeja - If his wrists don't die, and soO goes all Kespa cup on his backside he could get to the finals. He did beat both Zest and Innovation before. 7. Polt - used to be Sir Polt of Terran - If he can keep it up, he'll get beaten by Bomber in the semis, right after he snipes 6 or so Medivacs full of units just because Bomber will make 56 Marines at a time an remax in 2 minutes. 8. Life - Bad Luck Life, facing Zest in the first round. Maybe, just maybe, he can make it. 9. MMA - actually my darkhorse for the tournament. I don't know... if somehow JD beats Bomber... 10. Hyun - Impresive level of consistency, but in a much weaker region. I don't think he gets past Inno. 11. Classic - Not sure about him, Haven't seen many of his games since season 2. And, he didn't impress me all that much eve though he won. I think soO just choked. 12. Stardust - May Cheesetoss cheese his way to the finals and win it all!!! 13. Jaedong - He promised guys, he promised... 14. San - Bad bracket luck. ro.8 tops 15. jjakji - Never going to leave the ro.16 16. MC - if he decides to play dirty and cheese - he could beat herO - who doesn't scout very often. sOs style. Otherwise, not taking a map.
So, that was my extensive, and yet extremely boring and stupid anal-sis of winning chances for all participants. Hope you didn't loose your hype after reading this
Nice post. I think you underestimate the inconsistency of this game though. Every player has a real chance (1%+) of winning the whole thing and at least a 25% chance of making it past the first round
How do you mean? I don't get it

sOs winning BlizzCon shouldn't have been a surprise or upset. He had a the highest winrate in Proleague last year and the fourth most wins total; got to a semi in GSL and the final of S1; as well as a few other pretty good results throughtout the year.

Too be fair, she had just beaten Parting (even if it was cheese that barely worked) who she had never beaten before and people were all jacked up on hype. Then it was 1-1... and then the throws began.
