Stephano looked real good vs MVP even though he got a bit trounced by him.

I predict he is the most likely to advance. Hope TLO makes it, too.

People need to stop making absolute judgements about who's "much" better than who based on the last bo3 played between them. Today Soulkey is the best Zerg in the world, and Flash is not on the same level, in ro32 Code S, when Flash 2-0'ed Soulkey in a very one sided series, it was "Flash made Soulkey look like a scrub, he's on another level"

If the series between Innovation and Soulkey had been a bo5, it would have ended 3-0 and today everyone would be talking about how Soulkey got schooled and he has no chance of beating Innovation ever and he's not on the same level.

Flash actually has a winning record vs both Innovation and Soulkey.

Most people cite Rain as best Protoss in the world but he got knocked out in Ro32. It doesn't mean he's not good enough to be in the finals next season. The GSL is very cut throat, one bad day and you're out of the tournament for the next 2 months. The skill level is so high, that even the best of the best can't afford to have an off day, unlike in, say WCS EU, where someone like Stephano can manage to eek out wins to advance even when he's not playing well.

Flash, Innovation, Life, Soulkey, Parting etc, all these guys can beat each other or lose on a given day.


kinda sad that most people here on tl don't see things this way

The current format just robs us of seeing the best players compete against each other while simultaneously stomping on the neck of the entire non-korean scene.

that's not quite how it works. two people advance from the group, so the group of death actually had nothing to do with Parting not being in this tournament. he did make it to the round of 8, he just lost there and in his 5th/6th place consolation match. i see what you're saying in general though, but i'm not sure either of Flash or Life are significantly stronger than the 6 WCS KR guys that made it, especially not Flash.

You are joking? Flash is much stronger.

then why isn't he here? ;p


-_- group selection, don't be pretend there aren't easy tournament runs.

yes but if flash was "much stronger" than the other 6 he should be here, he place last in his group fair and square even though it was the hardest one


Logic fail. Most of the others could easily have placed last in the same group, aside from Innovation obviously. Also a GSL group is only a few maps.

Hah, the only 3 Protoss hope.

Time for Blizzard to do something after WCS Final S1 if all Protoss dropped out in the first round.

so exactly how do you justify flash is 'much stronger' than bogus, soulkey, sos, symbol, roro and parting?

could have, would have... but didn't

WCS America koreans are good, but you really can't compare them to SoS and Symbol, sorry.


HerO, the person who dropped a single map up until the RO4. HerO who routinely players in Proleague? Yeah, you clearly don't know anything about what he has accomplished the past year.

Every year, people say this about HerO. He's the Dreamhack champion, and he looked so strong playing against foreigners, he's a favorite to win his group in Blizzard Cup. Then HerO finishes last in his group, loses to everyone.

That video might have been a lot better if there were more foreign players involved in this. But since Koreans could play anywhere, this is not the case and the chances a foreigner wins are slim to none. Only 3 are participating in this.

I see TLO going the farthest if one is to do really well.

Stephano as always will likely be the only foreigner advancing when all is said and done. Might even make the ro4 if they do draws and he lucks out with someone like Alicia, Ryung, or ForGG. But I don't see any of those making it out of their groups, the ro8 should be very cutthroat.

A: Soulkey/ Stephano

B: Losira/MVP

C: Symbol/sOs

D: Bogus/RorO

are my picks

does someone has any information about VOD? will they be accessible for free since it's the grand final?

For europeans it is almost impossible to watch because it starts at 3.a.m

What the fuck is this schedule? There are 3 Europeans, 0 NA players and will start at 3:00 CET? It was never the case with GSL.

No. Check out http://www.twitch.tv/team/wcs_finals. You have to pay 4,99$ for TwitchVods (and other stuff).

I emailed gom and the WCS finals are not included in the yearly pass.

Gom is becoming great at fucking over its customers.

Stephano ZvZ is shaky. I could see TLO knocking him off twice.
