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

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. | ||

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. | ||

So, 15:00 is much better. I do wish it could have started at 13:00. | ||

The only problem with the YouTube channel is that they are often in the specific series and sets. So it would be Player 1 versus Player 2 game #, and you could see how many games and how long they were. With SC2Links, as he said, it hides the number of games as well as the time. Kind of just depends on how much you want spoiled. With the flat broadcast, you're just hiding everything. | ||

Maru 3-1 soO (Don't bet against all-time greats getting 3-0'd when they should be 3-0'd.. could be a fun set?) Zest 3-2 ShoWTimE (very sloppy set, but I pretty much give the edge to the korean in game 5 situations, because they're usually more composed) Stats 3-0 Cyan (I mean, duh.) SpeCial 3-2 Has (I trust in SpeCial, but at the same time, he's been iffy lately and Has was quite clean last event. Should be interesting in a gross sorta way.) | ||

Imagine a clump of ghosts with lib, mine and mmm support. How are you gonna blow those puppies up? You don't haha. You can see where the tide of the game turned - it was when ghosts were out. Not a good play by Maru or a throw by Soo. It was when a unit were made. Sick EDIT: Oh, and when a caster identifies how ultras are actually SQUISHY against the bio ball, it kinda reveals how insane the DPS is on that army haha Claiming that banelings are bad against ghosts since four of them can't beat an individual ghost is like saying that high templars are bad against hydras because they can't 1v1 them. | ||

Against any other player the vetoes make sense, but maybe Maru shouldn't have vetoed Darkness Sanctuary since it's soO . | ||

Of all the top Koreans to potentially end Maru's reign, soO is pretty much at the bottom of the list. Also soO really deserves a break | ||

SoO should've just attacked there, but he sat in place poking widow mines. | ||

If I remember correctly there were 3 big terran factions (or maybe states/empires) at some point and Mengsk took over the biggest one, the Terran Confederecy and turned it into the Dominion. Not sure what the Kel Moria Combine and that Umojan Protectorate did afterwards and what's their current state in the lore though Edit: that's just the Terran factions in the Korprulu sector though, there's still the United Earth Directorate where Stukov came from | ||

I like it as well because team world really isn't deep enough to make it an interesting team match otherwise. Like we have a few players who could do amazing, but this evens it out and makes it much more competitive. | ||

It would feel nice if that actually were the case aswell. The way it is now the koreans are locked out of foreigner events and at international events they put up the facade of "we are one big Starcraft family". | ||

BC by themselves are a huge investment and a big risk you need a peculiar composition to make them work | ||

Wouldn't it have made more sense to pit GSL players vs the World players, like the name implies? I know Maru & Serral both picked their teams & that's the format they went with. Perhaps they should've only been allowed to pick players from their circuit, so it'd be a true GSL vs The World event. And I know eventually it'll get there, & that there are matches like that from the get go. But i don't see why Maru & Soo had to face each other in the 1st round. Seems like they should've faced off vs a foreigner 1st. Just my 2cents Either way SICK series tho | ||

Now they can keep the illusion of "excitement" But let's be honest - everyone will treat it like KR vs foreigners anyway, regardless if the score shows 4 -4 or 8-0. | ||

They don't want a situation like last year where koreans won every game and the match was decided way before all games were played. Now they can keep the illusion of "excitement" But let's be honest - everyone will treat it like KR vs foreigners anyway, regardless if the score shows 4 -4 or 8-0. If they didn't want it to be similar to last year then why call it GSL vs the World? This should just be a random show tournament at this point. Random tournament bracket and now the new team format. Call it Maru vs Serral, call it excitement, call it an interesting format but all this is just an attempt to avoid the stomp that we saw last year. Are 8-0 stomps enjoyable? Of course not, but at least last year was actually what it said on the tin. | ||

I'm digging the way sc2 is played now, looks much better than ending of WoL, but the only thing I just dont get are Shield batteries. I really dont get why those are in the game. But oh well, game seems lot of fun right now, both to watch and play. | ||

They just made the match more interesting by having mixed teams. Now they can have a real Proleague match, where they can decide to send strong or weaker players tactically depending on certain maps. Edit: Saw this after Has failed cannon rush. I'm sorry Mana, I voted for you. ;_; ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/IBk67On.png) | ||
