So let's see.

My picks:

Group A:

Maru/TY/Gumiho. Dear didn't look good in his last GSL group, Showtime and Special are outclassed in this group IMO. 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.


it doest matter getting only one wrong in groub C when who you left out was a really clear prediction to lead the group

sorry for being blunt but im surprised by how people underrate serral after tastelass also didnt predict him to move on

wait until he plays a terran lol


Wait until he plays a terran for what? to say it was a clear prediction for serral to lead a group with 4 zergs and 2 protoss? 3 foreigners? one of the protoss having a really weak pvz?

well gap not closed confirmed, one foreigner advances lol


I dunno.

I'm probably going to write a blog about this, but I REALLY like what I've seen in this tournament so far.

The Koreans are still better, but the games have actually been good. The level of play from the foreigners has been really high, it's just that they make mistakes here or there or can't keep up with some of the more mechanical players.

There's some other specific things, the EU Zergs and Protoss players don't look so hot vs Terrans but that makes sense when you consider there's so few quality Terrans in EU for them to compete with, so when the Korean Terrans come to this tournament they dominate. It sucks that Group A had to have all 3 of the tournament's best Terrans in it (since Innovation is slumping) because I'm confident any of them could have placed first in one of the other groups. Maybe not Gumiho but definitely Maru and TY.

The gap isn't closed, but it's narrower than I remember it being. At least the foreigners actually look like they belong on the same stage now.

the opposite even, the gap between Serral and the rest just keeps getting bigger
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
