Narrowly losing 2-3 to soO into getting pwnd by Dark? Unlikely.
I see Serral winning 3-2 this time, it will for sure be a much closer match than it was at BlizzCon.

I feel that it's two matches at the same time because the SC2 event of WESG has two channels.
I love SC2

If there ever was a chance for an all foreigner premier final this is it, I expect 3 out of 4 foreigner in the semi unless Maru wake the f*ck up

Scarlett-SpeCial, Serral-Mana and Neeb-Reynor are my personnal highlight.

I would like to say Elazer-Maru but while it may be up in the air it's probably gonna be a shit show of a series

Well this bracket is pretty obvious. Serral vs Inno finals with easy Inno win.
Its a shame that Serral got such an easy bracket (Dark ZvZ not good enough, Scarlett will choke as usual) and Inno + Maru are on the same side. There is just no way Maru gets past Inno. TBH with his current form he will probably have trouble getting past Neeb :D

The question is how much Maru gets better. I can see him getting into the finals but at the same time I can see Elazer cheesing him out of the tournament. Dark can win against Serral if he doesn't choke from previous loses.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Man, the unstoppable Innovation you are depicting crashed 0-4 of IEM groupstages before winning 2-1("Inno easy") against Serral in match worth $200 just ten days ago.

Inno has a good shot to the finals and a chanche of winning the event; however, I need to inform you it's not March 2013 as you seem to think judging by your comments.

Obviously I am triggering Serral fanboys a bit with such comments (I can admit he is a top top player), but the fact that Inno dismantled and stomped Serral in super late game is an undeniable fact which no amount of deluded fanboy-ism can change And it was on official offline match on a big tournament, does not really matter what were the circumstances and how much Innovation screwed up previously

Innovation won those games in a pretty decisive way. So what?

I am telling you not to be so sure this would happen the next time they meet, the last time they played a meaningful series Serral went back home with a title.
I can't tell you for sure Inno wouldn't win ultra late game, of course, it might be that he simply is better than Serral at that phase of the matchup; also, it's not mandatory that every single TvZ has to get past minute 20.

I just find the fact you pretend to know better quite disturbing.

That would be disappointing but not entirely unexpected after IEM, not to mention he was(is?) ill.

A final without koreans in a tournament starring Maru, Inno and Dark would cause many livers to explode, on the other hand.

Out of these 3 only Dark is a stellar player. Maru looks in slump and Inno is nowhere near is championship material. While Neeb appears to be in somewhat good form and Serral is slumping, but considering his match against soO he still can play ZvZ. It shouldn't surprise anyone if Neeb advances through and Dark wouldn't beat Serral in ZvZ.

So, no?

What would be annoying - all the foreign fanboys writing about it everywhere all the time. Similarly to that BO1 victory of Serral etc.

So, would the finals without Korean be the reason or all the people trying to piss other people? ...

Edit> Unless you go by names, obviously. But that would be silly. If you would go by names and randomly placed into the play off Flash, Rain and Soulkey, everyone would be thinking that the finals have to be Rain v Flash. While they're godlike in BW and they were really fucking amazing in SC2(well, Flash slightly less, shots fired ), nowadays they have just their names in SC2 and their legacy. Nothing more, I believe all of them would lost.

No offense to these players. Also if SK sucks in BW, find me another SC/BW example, please

I have to admit the first part of your post is absolute gold.

I agree that one has to properly take into consideration reasonably recent results, fame isn't really relevant when it comes to actual play.

To answer your question, the idea foreigners suck strongly lingers in the minds of many lurking or posting here on Team Liquid. Despite being such a nasty belief, it had its reasons to exist back in HoTS; that's not the case anymore, even if obviously koreans are still stronger players on average.

The mere fact Serral and Neeb(the ones who most likely could play a non korean final) were not born in Korea would generate whole plains of salt, regardless of their objectively very high level of play, if both of them would reach WESG's finals; I don't see it happening, in any of case.
