I have been watching his streams and his ZvT is very solid, he lost like 1 game out of 10 and I think that was against Maru. His late game ZvP is probably the best in the world, and his ZvZ is excellent as well. Only thing he seems to struggle with is Protoss mid game pushes, be it Immortals or charge archon. Sometimes he is not prepared well enough, but overall he seems to be in top form. I hope he can show this in the GSL as well  | ||

He was 70-80% in all matchups or something ridiculous iirc. Barely dropped series to anyone (I think one against Inno and one against Zest) | ||

He doesn't struggle against Trap. That said, PvT is hard at the moment. But yeah, Dark and Classic are bad for him. If you swap Trap and sOs, I think it would the worst possible group for TY. | ||

Dear is not a big threat and Innovation is not in form. Also soO has such a weak spot in ZvT. Rogue is deadly though. | ||

I think Inno can easily go down in this group. Dear is capable of losing vs anyone but also capable of beating anyone. If Inno loses to Rogue, and soO beats Dear it will be a 50-50%. I think all 4 can advance or get knocked out from this group. | ||

Big ones that I remember: 2013 WCS Season 1:  Life,  PartinG,  Flash, BogusBy far the deadliest group of death we've ever had. Best Zerg, Best Protoss, and the two best Terrans coming into HotS. Though things would change a lot in the coming months they all seemed considerably above the rest of the pack during this time. 2017 s1: Bogus, soO, Classic, DarkNot much to say here. In contemporary times these guys are pretty much always among the best of their race. 2014 s1: Zest, Maru, Dear, SoulkeyDear was the reigning champ, Soulkey was probably still the best Zerg, Maru was the undisputed best Terran, and Zest was the hottest new player who would end up royal roading the season 2012 s3: MC, MarineKing, Symbol, Squirtle Might not seem like much today, but back then this group was insane. Symbol was arguably the best Zerg, Squirtle had just come off a nearly undefeated season (dat Mvp tho), Marineking was probably the best Terran for the first half of 2012, and MC was rapidly returning to form and would go on to reach the finals. | ||

Flash had reached the finals of MLG (lost to Life) and was stomping everyone in SPL. Bogus made it deep in back to back GSL seasons at the end of WoL, almost made the finals of MLG in HotS (lost to Flash), and was also consistently competing with Flash for the top SPL spot. | ||
