IDK it's hit or miss. Sometimes he shows up big time on the biggest stage, sometimes he falls flat.

Oh god that LR got ugly.

Soulkey is the favorite but Naniwa has a solid chance... (although I would love to see him get destroyed 3-0)
He has a chance but it is no means a solid chance. Just like Duckdeok he is a massive underdog. Massive underdogs do sometimes win but not because they have a solid chance. And unlike someone like Innovation Soulkey is just a pillar of consistency. He is probably the least likely to fall to any bullshit tactics.

dear vs taeja and naniwa vs soulkey ?? wtfff such a hard choice Yes. The 2 best matchups today overlapping.... Naniwa vs Soulkey is only viewed as a good matchup because naniwa isnt korean which is dumb. Purely in game it will be the most one sided series here.
I love seeing nani get crushed. Can't miss that.

Possible, but <50% chance of happening imo. I know it's weekend and all, but I know a lot of euros will go sleep in an hour or two. Even if it is Blizzcon. This one's on you, NA/SA. Well I guess maybe oz wakes up eventually too.
We'll do what we can

He was never actually favored to win in a bo5 with a week preparation time against Mvp, people just thought he was.

Unless something called "parents" stops you.

I am disappointed Innovation lost, but I could tell by the only 1 bunker for the first game that he wasn't going to commit enough resources to defend against Duck's all is throughout the series. He commits to economy without proper scouting. I seriously think this is why Soulkey is so consistent. He scouts like a mad man.

Possible, but <50% chance of happening imo. Hinges on what happens to Naniwa and how good Jaedong vs. Mvp is imo Also depends on Alive aka THE PAGE GENERATORRRRRR aLive has to win to finish the upset of the Aligulac top 3
Gogo ruin aligulac's day Alive!

IEM Katowice, it's where they're hosting the world finals for this season of IEM.

Naniwa better win. He has the [A] blessing.

As an SC2 fan who hasn't followed the scene closely the past six months I just want to give a huge shout-out to Chobra. The awkward korean-to-english interviews was one of the most irritating parts of major tournaments for me and I have to say Chobra is doing an amazing job, the language barrier is almost invisible. Seamless transition between english and korean with zero accent (as far as I can tell) and great professionalism. I hope to see more of him, he truly raises the bar. PAY THE MAN!

Come on Naniwa, you got this!
