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

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  | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

For europeans it is almost impossible to watch because it starts at 3.a.m No. Check out http://www.twitch.tv/team/wcs_finals. You have to pay 4,99$ for TwitchVods (and other stuff). | ||

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