I think Neeb has a better chance than that. Did you guys not watch their series in GSL? Dark spanked Neeb. Maybe not on the level of when they met at Blizzcon, but badly. When one game was a build order loss, I don't take too much stock in a single bo3. soO also played horribly in the ro32 and yet was very close to defeating Maru, who, although not as strong in TvZ as his TvP, is still very strong in the matchup. I agree that Neeb is the underdog, but he's also underperformed at times against Korean Zergs.
Don't read too much into that series. Maru is a literal god, Tasteless, but he looks human when he's not going all out in terms of practice and nobody can maintain their motivation forever.

Maybe not, though. By the way, after hearing Maru's comments about how much he doesn't like playing TvZ currently and seeing soO go up 2-1 against him... I think Rogue is the favorite to win this tournament currently. Maru is the second favorite however! Rogue's path is just way harder, unfortunately. Maru has matches vs ShoWTimE and Stats that he really should win, while Rogue has INnoVation, Serral, and the best of Classic/Dark.
Given Maru's rather shaky form yesterday, and him admitting that he took a break from practicing hard, I wouldn't be surprised if Rogue showed up in similar shaky form. Those two seem to march in lockstep, especially in TvZ. Also, soO has very clearly been practicing a lot of ZvT recently, and the obvious practice partner for him would be Inno. Add two and two and I think Rogue vs Inno might not turn out like some people are expecting.
But who knows. We'll find out soon enough, in any case.

If Rogue isn't 100% he's probably going home early. Has one of the better non-Maru terrans, two of the best zergs, and one of the best protosses in his bracket to the finals. Really tough.

Yeah, basically this. If Maru decides to show up 100%, it's a blowout except for Rogue (or maybe Dark). But maybe he's gotta rest a little more, I dunno.

Take a game!
Take a game!

Kelazhur should transition to mech like a real man
|
this is already gone better than i expected for Kelazhur, it looked like he had a chance for a little bit there
|
Serral a merciful god, donating those Vipers to give Kela hope.
|
Kelazhur playing better than expected, and Serral playing worse. Not enough to give Kelazhur a win though. With any luck we'll see the Korean Terrans show him how it's done.
|
lol serral is failing hard atm. making it exciting.
|
Kelazhur did a lot but lost a lot more lol

If he had a strong eco behind that he would be in a great spot. But he doesn't, and he isn't.

Wow Serral lost all the things in roughly 30 seconds, but Kelazhur's still on 4 bases so none of it matters.
|
Well that was quite a warm-up.
