It's an open world RPG now. Very different from what the series used to be. I have my issues with it but it's a good game.

I platinumed it on ps4, it's very good! I enjoyed it even more than Red Dead Redemption 2 (at 30% right now).

I think Serral will go down today, sadly. Zest and sOs surely have enough all ins to take him out!

Just a reminder for everyone no one gets eliminated today. They place the first matches and then the winner match for each.

Oh don't worry they'll drag it out to match the schedule if they have to.

Yeah the Blizzcon page says that apparently winners matches are played on the first 2 days this year. Nice change imo. Now nobody gets eliminated on day 1 at least.

Maru/TY group only interesting because it has Maru in it; there's no quesiton who is getting out. Group B though, there are 3 players any of whom could get out. Will still be fun to watch Maru play.

How so?
The meta is favorable for zergs so Lambo could pull off the upset, albeit very unlikely, and Neeb has shown in the GSL that he can take a bo3 against TY (he was up 2-1) so he could beat every one in his group.

It's not too far fetched to imagine: Maru > Lambo, TY>Neeb, TY>Maru, and Neeb>Lambo+Neeb>Maru.

Your argument about neeb is way too generous. Neeb convincingly lost to TY in GSL, and got stomped by Maru in groups.

Maru and TY are just way too strong to lose to someone of Lambo's calibre. Just making Blizzcon doesn't indicate that you're a strong player these days. If you're saying that there's a physical possibility then yes that's true, but it's so small that I'm going to write it off as zero.

How is that generous?
Neeb was up against TY 2-1, so in bo3 he would have won.

Against TY. That doesn't mean he can beat Maru.

Neeb is doing better in PvT nowadays.

As much as I'd like to believe that, it doesn't seem reasonable. You can't go from living/practicing with TY/SpeCial/other korean terrans, to playing on NA/EU, and get better in the matchup.

And I think you underestimate the difference between Maru and TY. Classic also beat TY in season 2, only to lose 4-1 to Maru. TY may have choked a bit against Zest, but that doesn't make up for how one-sided that final was. TY also seemed more reliant on the proxy meta.

TY and Maru may be even in TvT (maybe TY even has a slight advantage if they play standard, who knows), but Maru is just stronger in the non-mirrors. Especially against Protoss.

Yeah I think they're close enough in TvT for either to win. But Maru is still better in my eyes. I really think had he not gone for proxies every game he'd have won that final 4-1 or 4-2. He was better in more areas of the game.

I don't think so to be honest. His early/early mid-game was a wreck in the 2 games he didn't proxy, too. And the early advantages is what TY used to get his 3 wins.

Also don't forget Maru got a 100% build-order win with proxy reactor cyclones vs 1 rax expand but did no damage at all. It's not just the build choices that hurt Maru.

Literally all three games TY won were with a 2 base timing/allin of some kind. Maru's four wins consisted of a super lategame (he actually looked a lot better in the endgame than TY), one game won with 2 rax reaper, one relatively standard TvT, and one desperation 2 base all-in. He went 1-2-2 with the proxies overall if I remember right (win-fail-even game).

Maru didn't look awake in the first two games, so I'll agree he sucked there. Everything he did was just not that good. I really think he just lacked confidence and that's what led him to the proxies.

And is reactor cyclone a BOW against reaper expand? 2-rax reaper can be if not scouted, but I'm not sure about cyclones.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru hits with 2 cyclones, 2 SCVs for repair and 1 marine when TY has 2 reapers and no factory units. Maru not winning that game was ridiculous.

Where is all the hype? Back in the OLD GOOD DAYS we had literally 1000 pages of hype before the first match of Blizzcon!

1091 pages of pure hype.

Todays young people are just so lazy! Back in my days we were not afraid to post.

Fuck yeah this is beginning soon!

Hopefully we get to see Maru destroy Lambo

I know players ain't eliminated today but if Serral loses his first match that will be pretty anticlimatic
