Yes, if you keep on winning in the Loser Bracket, you can get to Grand Finals. However, you have to play 2x as many matches because you have to play players already in the the Loser Bracket and also players that drop from the Winner's Bracket. Also, most tournament gives the Winner Bracket winner an advantage (Only has to win 1 series as oppose to 2 for LB winner). | ||

Beat Reality which I think is more interesting, as Reality has played good TvZ even against the GOM players | ||

Look close at Effort facial charecteristics and he does look like a standard "Grey Alien". Effort fighting! | ||

Aside from DRG who's been identified as slumping for a while, we've seen players like Horror, Yugioh, Tails, and sC fall, all of whom are Code A or Code B at best. Combine that with the fact that Kespa players are simply have more experience as progamers (i.e booth experience) and how they have the psychological advantage mentioned by Soulkey and Jaedong, and you have a pretty fertile field for Kespa victories. | ||

Soulkey 2-0'ing CoCa kinda came out of nowhere though, CoCa was the #1 GSTL player last season iirc. | ||
