Nerchio will have either Bunny or Impact in qualifying match
Bottom of that bracket is Gumiho vs jakkji/Losira
compared to other brackets this one could be called bracket od death

Bracket 3 will be awesome.
Bracket 4 has 4 big names but lost most of the interest when lolvilo dropped out

I'm sure it was seeded based on 2016 WCS.

Nerchio got 1 shot vs Bunny/Impact in upper bracket. If he fall down he is doomed.

it would be brutal if nerchio was knocked out, in his own country, by the B-tier koreans

Losing Nerchio right after Elazer would be extremely brutal.
I really hope he is in topform. We need some polish hype in the Spodek!

I suppose we're at that moment in time when a ro16 GSL finish means you're a B-tier Korean. Bunny has actually been playing pretty decently, so I wouldn't necessarily call it an upset if Bunny took out Nerchio.

A-list Korean means you're at least contender to win GSL surely? No disrespect to Bunny but I wouldn't predict him to get beyond ro16.
edit: I wouldn't be suprised either, bunny is very good. But losing to him does seem a bit worse than to TY, Stats, Inno, soO etc, who almost everyone is favoured to lose against

I know I'm posting this a lot of places, but it'd be cool to see TL's comprehensive feedback on how we, as a community, like long quals vs. short quals/traditional 3-day events.
edit: that's not to say that'd change much, but you never know.

Since he was dumped unceremoniously out of the GSL by blink DTs his form has been pretty good online.

Nightmare is truly the hero GumiHo needed

This is for the best. When Nerchio wins the championship, we do not want anyone to say that he had an easy road. Probably is rigged this way on purpose to show the might of the one true saviour of foreign SC2.

First of all he needs to quali to main event. Right now looking at his bracket, he got like 25% chance. Talking about championship is poor joke
