Tough draw for them, getting 3 of the 4 horsemen in their group. Group B: Dark/Innovation/Hurricane or Solar. Group C: Zest/Rogue/Impact Zest and Rogue have pedigree. Impact looked outrageously strong when he qualified over all of the other contestants in the Korean qualifiers. Group D: sOs/Classic/Trap The Protoss players in this group are just stronger than the opposition, however Elazer can be a definite dark horse. He looked really good at Pyeongchang, maybe can show some more of that form. So far I've gotten 2/3 in every group. Zest and Innovation are in true and proper slumps now I did NOT expect that to happen and Dear got his mojo back from his ousting at the GSL which is another surprise. I fully expect Group D to end up with 3 Protoss advancing. Trap is 0-2 right now but that doesn't surprise me considering the two matches he lost were to the other 2 Protoss in the group. | ||

Zest has been in a slump for a year and a half now. | ||

He looks SO weak vs Zerg in the last few tournaments but he's still good vs Terran and Protoss unless it's Neeb apparently. | ||
