Someone who i have honestly never heard of came this close to qualifying from a group with Maru and Special, that s quite something Also, Neeb has very good chance to win or get to the finals at least. The biggest names who are in competition are almost all zergs + Maru and Innovation. PvZ is his best mu, PvP it's his worst (as per IEM interview). There are no Korean protosses at this tournament, and the foreigner tosses who are left are 2nd tier players. Assuming 1st seed gets a 2nd seed, so far he could get Lambo / Elazer / Special, probably Special would be the hardest of those three. And the rest of the groups have a clear nr 1, and are severely lacking the 2nd top tier pro, so i'm asuming the remaining 4 second places gonna be something like E - Ptitdrogo / Probe F - DNS/Bly G - Stefano/ Toodming H - that s actually tough to call, czu everyone from group H is mediocre at best. So Neeb is almost guaranteed to get an easy ticket to the ro8, chances are few of the other top contenders will be out by that point (Serral being 2nd means he's either out in the first round, or takes down a group winner, someone like Maru or Dark etc) So yeha, things looking good for USA | ||

This is like an amateur tennis player beating Roger Federer. I mean, if there is a professional tennis player that beats Roger Federer, that's one thing. But an amateur beating Roger Federer shouldn't happen. You wouldn't expect an amateur player to beat one of the best players in the world, in any sport, not just e-sports. And Maru was beat 2-0 too, not even 2-1. Meomaika isn't that bad, his Aligulac score is similar to the one currently XiGua or Dimaga have. Thus said, his 2-0 victory was a huge upset. | ||

I assume Maru did whatever and got cheese 2 time in a row, let's not draw to much analysis, Zest lost to TangTang and professional SC got along just fine with the benefit of having a great meme for the future. | ||

Serral I can see happening, Inno and Maru maybe but against Dark he seems to have a huge mental block. | ||

If he's the Zerg version of Has I can see how he can win in BO3. You win game 1 by something completely random throwing Maru off and then defending proxy into something even more weird. | ||

I'm hoping inno, maru, or serral eliminate dark for neeb lmao otherwise neeb's only hope is that he finally gets his head out of his ass when playing against dark. He does have the talent to beat dark. | ||

It is a big upset for sure, but when you consider that he is a top SEA zerg who likely practices on KR server, it's not a complete shock. Must have just had a few good games, and without a stream/replays to go off, it's impossible to know how the games went. Grats to him though, Vietnam is a cool region to represent in SC2. | ||

Yeah but Roger Federer would play fairly similar tennis against any opponent in a serious setting regardless of if they are a pro whereas Maru probably went for some 0 respect cheese twice in a row against Meomaika. Also Meo is #120 in the world according to aligulac, and in tennis player #120 beating the world champion isn't unheard of. In fact players rated lower than that have won Grand Slam tournaments. | ||

Group H is better than you guys think, TIME and Rail are in good shape while the same can't be said of Kelazhur and SortOf, who are still pretty decent by the way; not an easy group to predict but I wouldn't call it mediocre. | ||
