Games 1 and 3 he looked very strong. Heck not gonna lie he looked like the 2nd best disruptor player right now in game 2. The closest anyone's got to outdisrupting Neeb

Thank god for foreigners.
Omg not in this thread pls haha
I think Zest looks good and might be a favorite to win it all tbh
Honestly I don't know who can beat Dark. Maybe hope a foreigner can ZvZ him out?
Dark is pretty much the final boss this year. I do think Stats could actually beat him in a longer series, but it's close. I also think TY would make it close but still lose to Dark as usual. With Zest I have this big question mark, this lurking "He is Zest. He could do it.". Everyone else, I just don't feel they can do it in a long series. Maybe the Zerg who gets out of group D but even that I'm not sure about at this point.

That's pretty much my thoughts too. TY we know would put up a great fight but Dark ZvT is just so damned good that I couldn't favor him. Stats would be my favorite to have a chance.

Zest clearly prepared some bullshit to pull out on Neeb like the timing attack on g1 and the 4gate in g3. No way he hasn't prepared some bullshit to kill Dark with. The 2 are 3:2 this year with Dark leading. I'm more concered with Zest meating Stats or TY in ro8. We know he has a very bad record with teamkills
Although one of the games Dark beat Zest he did suprise lurker drops. Was pretty impressive and killed almost every worker, I was always curious why he never did it in other games
At this point I feel like ByuN and Stats (to a much lesser extent) have dropped the ball. I think finals will be a combination of Zest/TY/Dark. I dunno which combination I even want

Well he can't meet TY as they're both first out of groups. Stats is another matter now.
Assuming they do a standard A/B + C/D seeding, I'm fairly confident in a TY vs Dark finals. Stats is the only wildcard I'm unsure on (unfortunately I do not think ByuN can beat many remaining players).

Good point. If they switch it the other way however thar means Nerch/showtime on the top and Stats, Zest, and TY all on the lower half :/
This is the worst possible bracket for him Zest Stats in Ro8, and assuming he can finally win a teamkill (that is not the finals), he might have to face what might be another teamkill.
This is pretty bad for Zest I think. I can't remember the last time he beat Stats in a tournament. Only advantage he has is that he is more experienced playing on a huge stage in front of a foreign crowd.
