So who is the least expected winner? From rank 1 (least expected) to 10 (most expected):
10 Innovation
9
8 sOs
7 Life
6 Classic
5
4 Rain, herO
3 Rogue
2
1 Hydra

So mostly underrated is herO, so herO will win.
sOs | Rogue | Maru | Trap | Scarlett | Snute | MC

Rogue is going to be the final Heart of the Swarm World Champion.

I almost feel the same way. Winner of blizzcon is never expected by the majority.

gonna be Hydra

That's like predicting HyuN or San last year. Too outside the realm of possibility.

Hydra would be weird. He got completely manhandled by INno at MSI, it just wouldn't feel right if he won this tournament.

For last year's Blizzcon, Life practiced swarmhost and proxy hatch strategies. I feel he will be well prepared to take on Innovation.
Don't worry, be happy!

I would be happy for him. I think, he has the skill necessary for it, but he does not have the champion mentality ... if Rogue got to the final, it would be so big for him that he would break down.


Don't worry, no one is surpassing Life

Noone except Innovation and sOs :-)
And of course Lilbow, in case he had practiced :-)


What is there in sOs' play that convinces you he could take on and clearly outmatch Life in PvZ when most of his contemporaries - Zest, Parting, Stats - have failed to do the same? I must remind you that Life beat sOs when they last faced off, and Life was in indisputably worse shape then than he is now.

If Life has good allins planned he can beat Innovation, otherwise yeah no


Moonlight Madness should be a lock unless Innovation uses his veto on that map. I'm not terribly worried about Innovation's bio, but I do have reservations about Life's anti-mech play. We'll see, but I'm convinced he'll show up to play much better ZvT than we last saw from him.

sOs was also in worse shape (it was before he won MSI).

Side note: the last ZvT I saw from Life was the Kung Fu Cup qualifiers vs (CJ) Bunny and TY.

Really? If Aligulac's numbers aren't off he should be just under 500 (I didn't add the full RB winnings to his because it would be shared with HuK).

Interesting. Who would you consider more successful? At any rate, we can call herO the dude with the most WCS points.

If he won Blizzcon, his first Starleague and KeSPA Cup in one year, who was more successful at that point?

Kespa Cup 1st

Blizzcon 1st (if)
gsl 1 3rd/4th
ssl 2 3rd/4th
IEM 3rd/4th

that is pretty impressive...

edit: oh nvm :D
