I don't want HerO to beat Rain lol. Hero is good, but he is definitely one of the weaker players in this ro8.

Also, if anyone has been watching the Kespa V MLG games, even the no-names are walking all over korean and foreign players alike. Out of 24 Kepsa players, only 2 have a negative win/loss at the moment.

Rain is sitting on top with Flash at 11-1.

I'll keep cheering for Life until forever <3


That said, any finals will be unbelievably sick. All 8 players are just so good.

Can't believe Hero vs Taeja got 26% of votes... well it's Liquid'

Nice writeup anyway, there aren't all that many scenarios that I forsee will be a disappointment, this GSL is too good



How is that surprising? a Liquid GSL final would be epic.

On the note of surprising I'm surprised HerO got the least votes to win I would say he has better chances then both Leenock and Symbol due to the opponents they are facing.



...?

Hero's worst is PvP. Symbols best is ZvT, and I think Leenock's is too...

There are no weak players in this Ro8, specialy not with the way HerO slapped Squirtle around in the R016.

But i will go with Waxangel, MVP is just going to take his 5th title, drop off a bit again and come back for his 6th in 4 months or so. I also see MKP as the perfect horror story vicim, where he get's slaped with a trout until he submits in a true GSL final score of either 0-4 or 1-4.

Fans will cry over MKP while others praise the Kong line.

I hope HerO doesn't read this article, it would be really disheartening. HerO relies on support of his fans as a major back bone to his play, but i still believe he can beat Rain. Lets hope Rain gets too arrogant, letting us have a Liquid vs Liquid grandfinals ^^.

I agree with everything you said.
I thought Squirtle would crush HerO in Ro16, but when he didn't, when HerO 2-0'd one of the best PvP players in the world, my hopes shot through the roof. I want and think HerO is fully capable of beating Rain, he just has to stay positive and call heads when the coin is flipped. Or he'll do what he usually does; call both heads and tails, have it land on it's edge, and win with his OP HerO units.

HerO fighting!

at the start of the year, Mvp said in an interview, he would be satisfied with 2 GSL wins this year. So here we go, Mvp straight to the finals and if not, maybe next season!

Kinda surprised there's such little love for Leenock. I have to assume Zerg backlash. Happens every time. Still, he's so adorable =/

I must be a biased fanboy.

COME ON LEENOCK!

I'm with you! I also feel that he's underrated. Only real obstacle imo is Life with his godly ZvZ.

GOGO LEENOCKTUPUS!

With HerO being ranked lowest (which surprises me), and Taeja on top (which doesn't surprise me), they are LITERALLY on the other side of the bracket. Let them meet.

I am also with you. I hope Leenock makes it far this season. He is definetly capable of doing so.
And with all the hype about Taeja I somehow do not really think that he will make it into the finals.

Hero might be able to beat rain, if he plays as well as against squirtle. Taeja is favourite to at least reach the finals, with his tvz.

Dunno, i also really hope life makes it far, i really enjoy watching him!
