Okay, 11 entries so far.

Time go shopping, need drinks and snacks.

They announced at the last minute that there is a rule requiring Serral and Maru to be in oposite brackets. Caused quite a bit of uproar here.


Do you have a source, please? I'm on mobile and my phone's too old to do proper research.

Players knew and it does make sense, but not announcing this until after was bad.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Jeez, so many people believing in sOs. After how he's looked recently, I think the most likely outcome by far is him losing without taking a single map. Yes, he beat Maru in ST, but I think Maru was a bit half-assed about his approach to ST and he's turned the dial up to 11 again for Blizzcon. My expectation is that he will completely wreck sOs here, and whoever he meets next round is getting shredded too. Even Stats has basically zero chance vs Maru in this tournament. If Maru is full beast mode again, betting against him is nuts.

I think the point is precisely that sOs overperforms when no one expects him to (though I have no idea if that's still true in LotV)

At least one choke, one comeback, one outrageous cheese, one time when incontrol makes a joke on the edge of what is appropriate and one map won by a foreigner.

I can barely contain my hype, this is going to be so good.

In LotV he makes 2 GSL finals and still plays like shit.

So, what is wrong with winning Blizzcon while still playing like crap?

Nothing, but in all of his championship runs sOs played very good Starcraft. His games this Blizzcon, and prior to it, were... not great to say the least.

Maru will play Serral in finals guys. Two best players this year whitout any doubts.
Maybe two best ever played SC2.
