Life and Happy are both great upset potentials and Seed and Symbol are both really good but don't always seem to play their A games. SHould be a fun one all 'round. I'm rooting for the underdogs though. I would disagree, I almost always see Seed play his A game. Ever since the GSL finals he's looked good in nearly every game he plays. | ||

I meant his last GSL run where he managed to go down two games in a best of five twice in a row and come back to maul face. He seems a little slow to start so if someone can punish him for that he could lose. | ||

Symbol is still a good contender to get out of the group, but he is not favored in two out of the three matchups. He has looked somewhat lost in lategame ZvP lately, and his ZvZ goes up and down. Seed is very strong in PvZ and has a psychological advantage due to that comeback in the Ro8. Meanwhile Symbol has been Life's butt monkey ever since the two started playing SC2. If Symbol loses against Seed he needs to hope that Life loses against Happy. I haven't seen Happy's TvZ in a long time. All I know is that he has been losing a lot of games in that matchup recently but I haven't been able to check them out. Life should be favored against him, especially since Life's ZvT has been looking so strong. By extension Symbol would be favored against Happy since his ZvT is the one matchup that has looked consistently good. Happy's TvP games in the Ro32 were okay, but there was some sloppy stuff on both sides. I don't think he would get through Seed with that level of gameplay. He should be considered the underdog against everyone but he can make it out of the group. Life is favored against everyone except Seed. He is arguably the best ZvZ player in the world, and has some claim to having top ten ZvT. If he beats Happy and Seed beats Symbol, the winners match will be roughly 60/40 in favor of Seed. Life's lategame ZvP has vastly improved ever since he joined StarTale so I wouldn't count him out of a possible 1st place. | ||

Symbol said in the RO16 group nominations that after seed beat him in the RO8 last season, he was so sad and couldn't play for a month. I expect that Symbol will come into the game with a clogged up brain full of emotions and anger which will be his eventual downfall. Yea this is so true for Symbol. After his like 10:0 GSTL run when he lost a game I think it was in OSL? He just looked super sad, and after that just lost games nonstop. Hope he can fix these issues and win in style like he did during that small period of time. | ||

I am fine with Seed advancing if he goes into Rain's bracket. If they're on different sides of the bracket, I can see a Rain vs. Seed final, and I don't want another PvP final to kill e-sports. | ||

The lyrics seem so fitting: "Life at last salutations from the other side I can see that you're the devil's pride Do you realize that all of you donated something horrible You hated that is part of you I'm your nightmares comin' true I am your crime ...Life at last sit and listen while the fun begins Hearts are broken and the bad guys win...." | ||

Second spot goes to Symbol or Life, both are ridiculously good. I'll give the edge to Life because he seems more consistent with his play from what i've seen. I honestly have no idea how good Happy is, i always assumed he was around top code A low code S sorta lvl. i dunno | ||
