He'll probably win Blizzcon too.  ShoWTimE 3-2  Elazer Dark 3-1 Neeb TY 3-2 ByuNZest 1-3 Stats Dark 3-1 ShoWTimETY 3-0 StatsDark 2-4 TYI'm fine with this scenario. Whichever way the finals goes (at least 6 matches would be nice). | ||

Gonna be there in front row like last year, and it's going to be an amazing time. Last year's Blizzcon was pretty much the best single weekend I've ever had, and I hope this one goes even half as well. Brackets are brutal, especially as a fan of Dark and Neeb. Hmm.. Byun vs. Neeb finals would be ideal, probably. It'd be a hell of an awesome match. | ||

ShoWTimE 3-1 ElazerDark 3-0 NeebZest 3-2 StatsTY-3-1 ByuNI don't think Neeb stand a chance, on the biggest stage against the best ZvP player I think he will lose the first map in a close game and then crumble and get destroy in game 2 and 3. Showtime-Dark would be a lot more interesting in my oppinion. | ||

Byun vs. Neeb finals would be ideal, probably. It'd be a hell of an awesome match. I'm also pretty hyped! It's the first time that I think the foreigners have a legitimate shot at making a Blizzcon finals, which would be absolutely crazy. Obviously Dark is the clear favourite here, but I hope Neeb can get practice with his Zerg practice partners and put on a good show. I mean, for the KeSPA cup, he trained with Scarlett, Pet, and Solar, so if he can train like that here, then he might have a shot. I think the thing that gives me hope is that the foreign scene has been drawing closer to the Korean scene, and since Neeb has historically been very good at PvZ, I think that gives him a chance. In a world where ShoWTimE can 2-0 Byun, I think Neeb can beat Dark. | ||

Two things that stand out to me. 3 foreigners packed into 1 side means 75% chance of foreigner in the final or something. Also, neeb somehow avoiding terran players completely until the final or possibly the entire event? just Blizzard things | ||

It was drawn normally with 1st in group finishers against 2nd in group finishers, and people in the same group on the other side of the bracket. The amount of complaining about brackets in Starcraft is unreal. Also Dark will beat them. | ||

It was explained how they are determined, it's not an uncommon way of doing it.. | ||

I don't expect foreigner to be a champion... but I'm expecting a good fight I wonder if all our foreigners could stop Dark from advancing to the final  | ||

It does not get more fair. I'm pretty sure it would be fairer if people from the same group could end up in the same half. And honestly for an actual bracket draw it's pretty anti-climactic when there's a 50% chance a certain match-up happens before half the players got drawn. Granted I've been 100% sure ByuN vs TY would happen in the Ro8 for months now, but a bit of suspense would have been nice | ||

I mean there has been not so deserving KR players in Blizzcon finals in the past as well iirc. Plus they would have to beat Dark or the man who beat Dark to get there so it's not free at all. However if Neeb beats Dark he has a free semi, except if ShoWTimE can beat him which is possible. | ||
