Feast is in such a strong group. I havn't seen Mana recently but MMA and SortOf are monsters. I'll root for him to make the upset but tbh there is little chance. I hope he proves me wrong :p

You picked BabyKnight over Grubby?
Bad decision. Grubby is in a hot streak lately. Plus, he's a hard worker and nobody will be surprised to see him most prepared against his respective opponents.

Stephano is a tough opponent but I think Grubby is going to take the first place.
2:0 over BabyKnight and 2:1 over Stephano

He probably just saw where they picked BabyK > Grubby for their first meeting and didnt look to see that they picked Grubby > BabyK in a rematch in the final match

I guess it depends on how you subjectively define which matches matter. He beat him for WCS points at Dreamhack but they were both out of the tournament already. Did the match matter to both players?
on paper yes but it wouldnt be the first time Stephano didn't care about tiebreakers. He forfeited the MLG winter exhibition.

It's even 5:3 in Grubbys favour regarding maps for Hots as of now.

My prediction is:

1. Grubby
2. Stephano
3. Krass
4. Babyknight

He might not be getting the results he wants but this is a very easy group for Steph. ._. So I don't get the title when he should be able to win this group swimmingly.

Think and say what you want about Stephano's slump or something, but he will crush this group easily today.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Of course he is "human".

Portraying every good Zerg as a superhuman is pure spin and nothing but a technique used by the Zerg Propaganda Machine to insinuate that their race is still underpowered despite winning every tournament. Stephano wins because he's superhuman and so much better than the rest. Scarlett wins because she's superhuman and so much better than the rest. Life wins because he's superhuman and so much better than the rest. Leenock wins because he's superhuman and so much better than the rest.

The reason Stephano was so successful was because he brought the problem-solving intelligence, innovation and attention to detail of a good Protoss to a race for which it's possible to reach high grandmaster by following the same, repetitive build order every game, not scouting adequately, and A-moving units.

Too many Zergs in WoL expected to win by merely following their recipe and not missing an inject. Stephano wasn't one of these and took the game by the balls. That is why he was able to succeed with probably not even a tenth the practice of the Code S Terrans and Protoss that he was fighting in a battle of equals.

Zerg isn't nearly so OP in HotS, so there's far less potential for innovative players to abuse the power of their race. But often they can still manage it, e.g. with Life still winning games by essentially A-moving lings.
