idk. I'd be willing to say most of them were expected except for Sleep over Crazy and maybe Bang over Bunny since Bunny has looked solid in proleague.

Journey struggled to qualify over Stork. Flying had this in the bag. DRG vs sKyHigh was kind of a tossup because sKyhigh hasnt played a proleague match in 2 months because he was sick so no one really knew what kind of shape he was in. Yoda beating Turn is expected. Turn beat Bbyong in proleague but the guy still has a sub 30% win rate in TvT. Ruin vs Balloon was basically a match vs a player who gets some playing time in teamleague vs someone who just joined a team so Ruin winning can be expected imo. Dream has shown very good TvP form so I wouldn't really call him beating Paralyze an upset. EffOrt should have been expected to roll over s2.

What's weird about it? eSF 7-2'ing KeSPA or something else?

I expected Kespa B teamers to do better than Esf B teamers. Actually I'm just upset Bunny lost.

Well at least Flying didn't ruin my day!

Edit: I guess I didn't expect it to be so lopsided. I thought it would be near 50/50 since most of the players are either B team, fringe A team, or have little experience

Fixed a small part. ;o

Well if you look at the overall matches...
Pigbaby 2-0 RagnaroK - Pigbaby is the master of preparing builds. No one can beat him without messing up his builds.
GuMiho 2-0 Terminator - I don't think anyone expected anything else.
Dear 2-1 ByuN - ByuN is struggling in TvP. D:
Flying 2-0 Journey - Journey lacks experience, Flying doesn't.
DRG 2-1 sKyHigh - This could have gone either way, the only way it would have been an upset was if the score was 2-0
Sleep 2-0 Crazy - You might think this is an upset, but Sleep said he had several ZvZ builds prepared for GSTL when he won against Lucky in AZUBU vs. FXO.
EffOrt 2-0 s2 - s2 has nerve issues and EffOrt doesn't.
YoDa 2-0 TurN - TurN also has nerve issues, YoDa is a solid player.
MKP 2-0 Mamuri - Mamuri lacks experience, MKP has been in the GSL for more time than anyone else.
Ruin 2-0 Balloon - It's a PvP between two of the newest eSF players. Could have gone either way.
Bang 2-0 Bunny - ~~The only match I'd consider a true upset.~~Not as much of an upset if you notice that Bunny has never won a TvT against a non-KeSPA player.
Dream 2-0 ParalyzE - ParalyzE has only won one PvT game this year. Dream is one of the best TvP players on the planet.

Not as weird as you might think if you look at it carefully. :o

Just wait until tomorrow though. If you think these results are weird just wait until Seed knocks out Shine, Billowy knocks out RorO, kOp knocks out Life, and Trust knocks out jjakji. ^.~

If you said that before games, well that would have been impressive, but now you are just talking AFTER matches...It's lame thing to be an expert AFTER the matches

I was just explaining that things weren't as weird as he claimed them to be. The whole point is to sound like an expert to persuade him that the results aren't weird, which they're not... lol
