I'm feeling Roro and Soulkey on this one. I think Roro will come out in first place.

I don't think Yoda has a chance if he just turns up and plays standard. He needs to prepare something a bit meta in order to pull off a win. Could happen, he might even win his first series, but i doubt it.

Flying could also flummox the group with his weird style and unpredictable builds.

I'll pull up the ol' Aligulac:

                 Top 2      1st      2nd      3rd      4th    
--------------------------------------------------------------
       YoDa     76.13%   46.41%   29.72%   13.85%   10.02%    
       RorO     45.11%   20.33%   24.78%   27.85%   27.04%    
     Flying     43.95%   19.00%   24.95%   28.60%   27.44%    
    Soulkey     34.80%   14.26%   20.54%   29.70%   35.50%

Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

Very close group, enough that a definite prediction can't be made! As is well known, KeSPA players haven't played enough games with others for the ratings system to get a full grasp on their actual skill, so they will probably be underrated here (don't underestimate Yoda, though!).

Also, remember that the GSL Finalist curse will be attempting to take down RorO at this time. Can the zerg with years of KeSPA training under his belt fight it off?

Roro and SK will make it first.
Kespa players are slowly taking over.
I guess it was a matter of time.

Honestly no one here even understands how good yodas Tvz is in a bo3. Yoda chose SK even knowing how good SK is for a reason. Yoda gets out of this group.

All I'm saying is most people are giving yoda no chance..he is a favorite to get out in 2nd place over SK IMO .

Hmm I reallt don't know what to think about this group, I have no idea how good they are. I just hope Soulkey get out of his group and face off Innovation and straight up beat Innovation, to give inspiration to all the zergs out there

Well said mate.
Yoda is a monster-macroing and imba-microing zerg-terminating force.

So, I guess Soulkey will beat Yoda at first match and lose Winner match to wait Yoad and beat him again if he can advance from loser's match?

Yes, Soulkey would like it more if he could take Yoda's soul twice.

I want to say that anything can happen, but I find it strange that majority of people predicted Yoda beating Soulkey, even though it can happen, I don't see it happening right now. Yoda is living up to the hype of first HOTS tournament, where he played solid, but from there, he really wasn't that amazing, while on the other hand Soulkey is really good, the only Zerg to beat Innovation actually.

I say that Soulkey will beat Yoda 2-0.

You should never count anyone out. I do think SoulKey is not just superior to YoDa, but also on a KeSPa team which leads me to believe that he is also superior in any boX series due to preperation. On the other hand that is my personal take on it and I also do like YoDa because he's an excellent player. If he comes prepared I don't see a reason why he shouldn't be able to win.

No one can predict being 100% certain about the outcome, because its not possible to predict. You could push SoulKey against a silver player and the chances of winning for SoulKey would never hit 100%, because there is no such thing as guaranteed win, if you start on even ground and the game allows for mistakes.

So back to the point, I personally think Soulkey is taking it, but I'll not say YoDa has no chance.

yoda said in his last interview that as long as he plays tvz theres no way he can lose, also im pretty sure that res refining his hellbat and medivac builds as we speak right now and he's not gonna drop a map to either of the top2 kespa zergs

Roro and Soulkey right now are probably the strongest zergs outside of Life so I think they've got a high chance of getting out, but I wouldn't count out Yoda either.

Flying too isn't all that bad either, so I think they've all got a good chance here.
