Hope NaDa can get done with his studies and start focusing on sc2 fulltime. They are "down" only in the sense that they have to play some Code A games to get back into Code S. Given that only 8 people will not have to play any Code A games, this isn't very surprising. Of those 3, only Clide made it to the top 8 last season, and it was a bit surprising he made it that far.
I also meant down in the sense that their results have been trending downwards for a while now... I just hope they can show resilience, which I´m sure they will since they are champions.

Nada is SC2 fulltime atm IIRC. Though apparently even though he took the semester off he still studies some.

What he means is that Sage and forGG (Fin) play in the Ro48 so one of them is out. Polt plays the winner of that match in the Ro32.

Wasn't that like 2 months ago? I thought he came back to studies atm.

Polt plays the winner of that match in the Ro32. Ha yeah. ForGG is all hype but I'd prefer Sage to win. ForGG plays well, but nothing impressive, I've mostly seen "funny" games from him, or quick games (but I haven't seen everything he played). Sage will win imo, even tho forgg winning could be good for the hype factor.

I would have to somewhat disagree, as he has shown some ridiculously high quality pvz games on ladder (some in tournaments as well). For example today in his stream he beat no other than Nestea.

What does ladder play exactly mean again?
Huk's PvT has improved from being good to great, and he might be one of the best PvPers in the scene atm. But his PvZ is average.

But yeah, Leenock's ZvP is shit. He doesn't seem to understand the match-up at all.

I'm not saying ladder doesn't matter, but in Nestea's case, it clearly means nothing.

This is true. He'll have a good shot against Leenock.

Can't believe how July threw that game away

No, only 1 of them is gurenteed to not be back in code S (sage or forgg). Polt is gurenteed no matter what to be in the up/down matches since he made it to the Ro32.

What I basically meant was that even though HuK doesn't have flashy tournament pvz wins over tough opponents, his overall gameplay is very good and I feel like his pvz is better than what he gets credited for.

I'm definitely thinking that HuK needs to worry more about MMA and NesTea than Leenock, although I'm going to be sad with whoever gets knocked out
