I really like Nerchios play but I'm such a fanboy of Maru and really like Classic a lot too and Patience is actually really great to watch. ARGH this is the hardest group to call for me EVER, in previous hard Groups I've Always been able to turn to my personal hopes and just voted with my heart where my head could see no obvious right or wrong but this one.

In the end I voted with my heart for Nerchio and Maru but Classic is so sick and I would totally not mind if Patience upsets here.

I bet he underestimates Nerchio again.

He already won an OSL, who gives a shit about GSL/SSL or some Kespa Cup?

I think he wouldn't mind 3 different StarLeague championships under his belt

From what I've read, Maru right now is skilled as ever but somehow manages to lose in bo3s to people he should beat, right?

I am not serious

OSL had the best trophies though, nobody can deny that

Hoping for Nerchio and Maru to advance but I'm guessing it's going to be Classic and Patience.

just so everyone knows i picked maru and patience respectively which means that according to the same pattern for the past three groups, Patience and Classic will advance

He didn't manage to royal road GSL and KeSPA Cup so he doesn't care about them anymore, duh. Blizzcon too!

Kinda sorta. His level of play has fluctuated, and also his TvP in particular has been painful to watch in individual leagues. He basically folds to early game pressure every time.
