And since then it was only really GSL vs the world and blizzcon they were supposed to play eachother, both of those had a much better chance of an upset than WeSG does.

All those ZvZ birds are coming home to roost.
Remember Serral should* have lost 4-2 to Reynor in the finals of Montreal, and he had close calls all tournament.
ZvZ will return to its rightful, glorious place in 2019 as the match-up that ruins all of our hopes and dreams

Greater than 50% given that the two greatest hopes for non-Koreans....are somehow in the same group...along with another of the greatest hopes in Showtime (seriously wtf is group A). Meanwhile, all of the Koreans should easily get out of their groups.
I think both of the KR Terrans can beat Serral in a bo5+. I'm not totally sold on his ZvT. If there's any justice we'll finally get Maru vs Serral, otherwise I guess we're waiting until the Summer again...
It'll be interesting to see how things have changed from the last WESG where Maru 3-0'd him.

I am inclined to agree but I still think Serral is the player who's most likely to win the tournament.
Both Maru and Serral have peaked since the last WESG and seemingly aren't at their best at the moment.

Maru said yesterday that all the back-to-back tournaments have been rough and he's gonna collapse from exhaustion after WESG. I don't think his condition is great right now.
If I had to pick one winner I'd say Dark. Out of all the top contenders, he did the best at Katowice. Serral has a brutal group and his ZvT is suspect, while Maru and Inno are both in questionable form. Still, one of those 4 is almost guaranteed to win. Also, Dark has to beat Inno in the finals 4-3 in order to continue the WESG tradition of "Korean who lost 3-4 in last year's finals to another Korean defeats a new Korean 4-3 in the finals."
Another factor that may or may not be worth considering is that the jetlag factor hits foreigners a lot harder than Koreans, the opposite of Katowice.

I checked some Twitter accounts.. Serral apparently got sick after IEM and his tweet was quite worrisome for his fans.
Most EU players had 25+ hours of travel time. Lambo is even ill, that's why I think MaNa will win his group and against Lambo. Lambo just got to the venue yesterday, so the jetlag and illness are going to have an impact I guess.
My personal bet as the winner is Dark. He seems eager and extremely motivated to smash a lot of foreigners and take home a title + lots of money. He looked very good at IEM and GSL. Inno is in a little slump although he would be my 2nd pick... I think Maru is exhausted and just without any signifcant motivation after 2018, I think people saw that in GSL. Serral definitely can take it home but maybe we'll see a lack of the extra percentage after bein hyped and so much under pressure after his 2018 reign... I think Dark will do it finally.

stream is live, shows the schedule https://www.twitch.tv/wesg_sc2
starting in
Serral vs Neeb Maru vs Puck Serral vs Masa Maru vs Special Puck vs Special
either this isn't the full schedule for the day, or we just don't get to see Dark or Has until next round?
|
Have they given a reason for the casters being in Kiev while the players are in Chongqing?
|
Maybe N33b will get revenge for last year
|
Reminder that Neeb 3-0ed Serral last time they played a tournament match.
|
Lambo vs Souleer?
Production is off to a great start I see
|
Lmao out of nowhere SouLeer vs Lambo. Chinese events are such a game of roulette for the viewer.
