I mean.. Keen and soO look pretty similar, front on. Or maybe it was just that one picture. I dunno. | ||

Which is still 75 below Naniwa. Dear is even lower. Of course this is if Soo/Dear drops out early in Season Finals. If Soo goes to Ro8 he's pretty much guaranteed a spot. Dear is a bit less certain, he'll probably need a final to be safe. Naniwa still has a shot at point at IEm as well though, but today's results certainly didn't help his chances edit: I still think Naniwa's best chance is getting to the fianls at IEM and jumping above Revival. If Trap/Soo/Dear/(Vortix) make a Season final top2 they are gonna jump way up into the top16 so hugging the last spot now is useless. | ||

Yes he can ofc beat top players in top tournaments but not because of amazing skill at the game but rather because he is so good at not getting nerve issues (no pun intended lol). Even when he was back in KR he didn't really impress, did he? Look I am not saying that Mvp is bad or anything, I am just saying that he is not in the top 16 players in the world. Out of the regions other than KR probably only Taeja and maybe JD and MMA are. | ||

I can tell Asians apart way better than Caucasians these days. >_< | ||

But as far as builds, strength of will and mind games go? I absolutely rate him in the top 16. | ||

Out of the regions other than KR probably only Taeja and maybe JD and MMA are. If you put those up there you'd have to have HerO there too. I don't think a Top 16 is that easy to pick though. At the absolute top level everybody can beat everybody. HerO went 3-2 against Maru recently after being 2-0 up, he'd have been done with him in a GSL group stage format after the first 2 games. I don't think Bo3s necessarily show the better player (at least not as clearly as the result of the series indicates) and with the amount that some players (especially Kespa pros) play it can be really hard to tell how good they are. | ||

He isn't out of the race, but if I would guess I think he's got like a 10% chance right now(getting more IEM points increases the chance ofc). I'ts only a bonus if he makes it. He screwed up in Ro32 and he knows it. | ||

Yes, i am shocked, but it makes sense cause Artosis. And ofc congratulations to Dear for winning GSL finals, since as we all know the guy who beats Soulkey at GSL loses next round. | ||

Nothing beats Innovation v Bomber though  | ||

He screwed up in Ro32 and he knows it. If Revival drops right out of IEM and Naniwa makes top4 they are tied. Naniwa need top2 and Revival to drop out to have a chance. I think 10% might be a bit optimistic unfortunately  | ||

They may be boring players but they definitely deserve to be in this final and didn't just luck out and avoided the favorites in the brackets. They played straight up better than those who have some "story" in them and looked like this season's potential champion before these 2 beat them. I'm just glad we got the 2 better players in the Finals .Artosis predicted Soo > SK. Artosis actually predicted this at 0:0? Ouch, Major was right. But hey, looking forward to Hot6ix cup now, since they won't have to do replacements. | ||
