As long as PtitDrogo, Elazer and viOlet don't also get into KeSPA Cup all thermy has to do is qualify, he's like 80 points behind 8th place. | ||

He has the best skill, if he doesn't have some mental block, he should be able to play good series against Koreans and maybe get to the RO8. 2. Snute - he is strong mentally and has great skill, so unless he has to play against TY, he should play excellent series against Koreans and could get to RO8. 3. ShowTime - he is great, he can beat every other foreigner or koreigner, but I think, he is not mentally strong enough to play against Koreans. He would get destroyed. 4. Nerchio - good skill, good mental strength, but he put himself into a very difficult spot by trashtalking about the Koreans, so he will be quite under some pressure and he will break under this pressure and be destroyed by Koreans. Historically Koreans view foreigners as so bad they don't even prepare for them. I remember Life vs Lilbow at blizzcon last year. Life was saying he didn't even prepare for Lilbow because he's a foreigner, still beat him 3-0 in around 20 minutes (to win 3 games in 20mins in HoTS is ridiculous). Soooo, this means there is a chance if Koreans disregard Nerchio etc and don't prepare. But it's unlikely given the players have nothing else to practice for other than Blizzcon. I think Koreans respect Neeb as they play him on ladder, as well as Polt and True. But idk about others. Edit: I know some fans be waiting to see Nerchio lose his group 4-0 after his trashtalking of a few Korean players. | ||

Besides that, Nerchio, Snute and ShoWTimE will generally just go standard and Neeb plays on KR ladder so he is the easiest to prepare for. Also Life was Life. | ||

Life ling rushed him every game, that's Life's most standard play so I doubt he prepared anything specific. He probably just thought "this guy is foreign i'll just cheese him and get easy wins". It's usual for players like Maru, Life, Zest etc to just cheese players that aren't as good as them because they know they'll win. That's my fear for Blizzcon, I can imagine Zest being too ego and just cheesing every match. | ||
