I don't understand why people think he will be one of the first players to be chosen. I'm not basing my picks on who I think is the easiest player or easiest match up, but rather based on player personalities. After what many consider a big DRG slump I think he'll want to prove he's still elite in every match up, and I just feel like him proving his ZvZ first  | ||

But By.Sun stinks in PvP so he's safe there. Squirtle just wants to look like a tough guy. | ||

Seed picks Hero Mvp picks JYP Squirtle picks Happy Hero picks Symbol JYP picks Curious Happy picks Symbol Heart picks Polt Polt picks By.Rain Symbol picks MarineKing Curious picks Taeja Leenock picks Life This is based on if all of them are smart. Not taking in the factor of one of them trying to make a Group of Death with DRG, MarineKing, Taeja and Polt or some shit. | ||

I only see 3 people winning Code S this season Life, Seed or Taeja Squirtle and DRG for the outside chance I have a feeling it won't be any of the favorites. Who are the favorites this season anyway? Taeja's never made it past Ro8. Life is young and inexperienced, even though he is good (had one of the easier groups though). Seed just never seems to play like a favorite and never looks dominating (but finds ways to win). Squirtle doesn't look as monstrous as he did in Season 2. DRG seems to flipflop between periods of dominance and mediocrity. Symbol's invincibility has been shattered since his loss to Seed. MKP is forever kong. No one ever expects Mvp to win with his exploding wrists. Season 1 was the only season where the favorite became champion (DRG). In Season 2, no one gave Mvp much of a chance until he got to the finals (even then most predicted Squirtle who was the favorite). And in Season 3 (Symbol Taeja or DRG as favorites) Seed was the underdog against Symbol, Byun and MC (who no one really expected to get to the finals). To be honest this is the first season in recent memory where there isn't a clear favorite. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Leenock or HerO has a fantasy run through Code S. The only people I'm discounting are Heart, JYP, and Happy. Even By.Sun and Curious have a shot. | ||

What makes you think this? | ||

If the seasons were still a month long, DRG probably would have 2 or three titles by now, and I'm sure Squirtle would have gotten to a few more finals. | ||

Life is a potential royal roader. If DRG can get 3 terrans(Heart,Polt and Happy), he stands a great chance to advance. | ||

Faster seasons also mean he would have had to contend with all the new talent more times as well, and his gameplay would have been dissected a lot faster. Even Squirtle made the finals more on momentum than anything revolutionary. | ||

If DRG can get that group I'll be so shocked, Happy/Heart(and JYP) by far the weakest players(imo), I can't see them being left alone that long. Stranger things have happened in these before. | ||
