It just so happened that last year we ended up with that arrangement. | ||

If we assume a simple model where each WCS circuit player has a 20% chance of beating a WCS Korea player in a bo3, an all-Korean ro8 only happens 26% of the time. | ||

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if 0 foreigners advanced. | ||

On the Twitch channel or Sc2links? You can watch the vods on the blizzcon site itself. I would also imagine that they'll be available on the twitch channel. | ||

Serral I think is most likely, then Neeb, because Serral has an easier group even though Neeb > Serral. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if 0 foreigners advanced. Even thou I'd even agree that on a paper Serral group is a bit easier than Neebs (just because True might be slightly worse than Nerchio but innovation ~= rogue and soO ~= gumiho) but Neeb has only to play one matchup vZ which might be his best whereas Serral has to prepare both ZvT and ZvZ and there is no P in his group where his best matchup is ZvP afaik. So IMHO Neeb has better chance to advance than Serral and I think he will be the only foreigner to do so. | ||
