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).  | ||

					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.  | ||

 Hero is not Soulkey or even JD in terms of SC2 skill but he's proven to be better than Tails' gimmicky builds.
