What's the format for RO8? Is it group A vs group B/C/D? Randomized I believe (with players from the same group on opposite sides and first place finishers vs second place finishers as usual). Ah okay thanks! I hope Serral and Maru aren't on the same side of the bracket
Fortunately, it's unlikely they will be

True enough. Calling it a 50-50 map is still pretty disingenuous.

Let's see if the miracle happens and Heromarine wins a map. Should be easy 2-0 for sOs.

If I wanted those worthless map statistics to align with my opinion, I'd organize a showmatch.

How so? It's stating the facts actually
Stating that this map is utterly terran favored is disingenuous I'd say

Well, there are stats and then there are the numerous statements of pro who all agree (at least the zergs' one) that's one of the most difficult map for Z.
If you look at aligulac from February/march 2014, protoss does not look that successfull while the race accomplished numerous feat : 5 straight premier tournament win with different players and some pvp final (even Z while BL/infest did not achieve this) with a representation in gsl only exceeded by the terran area of gomtvt, I think that's at this time I stopped considered aligulac for balance issue, this is anice tool but not absolute truth.

My point of view is that this map is a very bad map for zerg in a very good patch for zerg so statistically it's 50-50 but it feels horrible to play as zerg because things ain't going as smoothly as they do on most maps.
But factually it's a "50-50 map" statistically, that's all I'm saying
On another patch it could probably go 55 for terran

I'm concerned that sOs might not have as easy a time winning, based on his performance vs. Serral.

No offence, you put a TONE of work in compiling all those stats, so obviously you re defensive about it. That s cool.
If those overal stats that you pulled together would be representative for this tournament, we would have had 8-11 zergs qualifying. We have 5.
Zergs did well in a lot of series that didnt matter. That scews the stats, you cannot blindly rely on those.

As much as he can be "creative", sOs is at his best when his standard macro play his good a lot more then when he just try to pull of strange build. His Blizzcon 2015 championship was won more as much on macro reactionary style as much as some cleaver build.

That's not how it works for the 8-11 zergs thingy
You can say that about every map
And I don't rely on the stats, I'm just stating the fact: it's a 50-50 map as of now. Nothing more to seek, I'm not saying it's a good or bad map for zerg, nor am I saying you have 50-50 shot of winning if you have a TvZ on it with two people of the same skill (because that's not how it works)
