Pande you might want to change the date to the 2nd of August (Thursday), if you're not already doing that .

I'm assuming this is played on the ladder map pool not GSL's one?
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

My predictions and thoughts on the tournament (if people care to read haha)

(T)Maru 3-1 (Z)soO :: As good as Maru is, soO is a Top 4 Zerg and it's not the finals
(P)ShoWTimE 3-2 (P)Zest :: My bias leaked into this a little, but this is definitely the highest chance of a foreign RO16 win
(P)Stats 3-0 (P)Cyan :: Welp... This is the issue with ceding a spot to a Chinese player "just cuz"
(T)SpeCial 3-1 (P)Has :: I don't see SpeCial being unprepared for Has again. This MU breaks my heart though
(Z)Serral 3-0 (T)Kelazhur :: Serral is king, but Kela will always be one of my favorites
(Z)Rogue 3-2 (T)INnoVation :: Best RO16 MU. This could be a GSL finals if it weren't for our god Maru
(Z)Dark 3-1 (P)Neeb :: Neeb is exceptionally good, and could pull off an upset. But an upset is what it would be
(P)Classic 3-2 (Z)Scarlett :: With Scarlett's variability being off the charts, this could go in many, many directions

A few things I'd like to point out that I'm disappointed with in this tournament, despite it being so awesome and exciting:

The draws... So why wasn't it entirely based on the foreign/KR point system?? If it were, this would be our much improved RO16:

Maru vs Cyan
Neeb vs Zest
SpeCial vs soO
Stats vs Kelazhur

ShoWTimE vs Dark
Classic vs Scarlett
Rogue vs Has
Serral vs INnoVation

Also, the time of broadcast is horrible. It's starting at 15:00 KST, meaning 8:00-9:00 depending where you are in Europe (may be slightly off with that), and worst of all 2:00 EDT. That is where I, and many other starcraft fans, live. That is the worst possible time for us. Couldn't it be played at even 19:00 KST so that it's reasonable for ALL major starcraft time zones? Sigh. I might even wake up in the middle of the night to watch the first two matches, because I am that dedicated.

Lastly, and least importantly, why has the map pool yet to be released???

Has getting overhyped after a good run... he doesn't belong in this tournament. And I have no idea who Cyan is. I know this is a less serious tournament than WCS or GSL so I guess it doesn't matter that much. I hope the casters aren't shameless enough to hype this as "best players from outside korea vs best koreans" because that would be a lie.

They absolutely will. If Tastosis can repeatedly claim one of the most boring GSL ro32s was the best ever, they can and will hype the players to high heaven.

(P)Classic 3 - 1 (Z)Scarlett

@TentativePanda the reason that that isn't the bracket is that there would be no matchups with foreigners in them during the weekend.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

Can't wait to see ShoWTimE teaching those koreans about foreign PvP!!

Also I hope Serral doesn't play against Inno. It's kinda unfair since he doesn't have any foreign terran even remotely close to Inno's level. I want to see him against other zergs! Some nasty ZvZ. Really looking forward seeing him face Dark and Rogue.

I hope Maru loses. I am tired of the kid.

Also, go to the GSL twitch page after, and you should be able to see the full broadcast. Also, as someone who lives in the west, I will say that 19:00 KST is an awful time to start. So, 15:00 is much better. I do wish it could have started at 13:00.

I would also suspect that the games will make it to the AfreecaTV YouTube channel as well.
