For those angry Terran players who don't want to watch this tourney no more but have nothing better to do I advise you to rewatch the upper bracket of Katowice 2017 playoffs.

Having more than 1 in the bracket would have been nice. Having 1 in the round of 8 would have been nice. Not having the last Terran in the tournament look levels below an opponent of equal skill would have been nice. But we can't have nice things, so enjoy 4 mirror match-ups in the Ro8 instead.

This one is just a tragedy

What was so great about 2018?

The group stage in 2018 alone was better than this entire tournament to be honest.

Just finished Trap/herO game 2. HerO missed his calling, those Adepts were clearly Zerglings in a previous life.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

So... worst big tourney ever?
No Terrans, all mirrors, 2 foreigners and trash players like hero and soO in the ro8. And with Dears PvP, hero will be in ro4 for sure, which is seriously just a bad joke.
Dont even know who to root for, maybe Dark or Solar?

User was warned for this post

Serral getting bopped by Classic only to see Classic bopped by Rogue was kind of fun.

sOs - Maru and Rogue - Maru were good series IIRC.

2018 group stage was phenomenal.

I remember rooting for Solar, Hurricane and uThermal to make it out of the same group, and it almost happened!

This is true tbf. Although the playoffs of 2018 was kinda disappointing. Not many great series in general and the ro4+finals were pretty bad
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

its worth noting that in the last 18 months only one terran has made the finals of a weekender (Maru at wesg 2018).


maybe the result of balancing terran around 5 koreans kids who know each other player playstyle and prepare-snipe each GSL game.
So now Terran not only unplayable for foreigners (the situation since years), but also for Koreans in weekenders.

But maybe this will be yet another time concealed by a good Terran GSL performance this season (Maru or Inno), who knows.

Or maybe all koreans terrans take drugs in Korea but don't take them when plane traveling, lol.

You either root for a Neeb vs Serral final because that would actually be sick, or you root for Dark/soO to finally win something
