Astrea sure did neeb a nice favour there, though even if he didn't I would still consider neeb the favourite for the playoffs

And if he does we all know he's not gonna wait until game 7 with the proxy raxes.

3-way battle for the NA crown between Neeb, TIME and Scarlett. I think I'd give a slight edge to Neeb in terms of winning it all. His loss to TIME was very cheesy and I'm not sure a repeat is likely to happen there. I also rate his PvZ as stronger than Scarlett's ZvP. I don't think it's too likely TIME loses before playing Neeb either.

how to you prepare if your Scarlett though i mean to you just a guess and just prepare one or two players or just study alittle of all of them
ok

She should simply prepare for the ones she considers the most difficult. None of them have time to prepare for her anyway because they have to worry about getting there first.

Pretty much. She should prepare 80% for Neeb and 20% for TIME. I don't see any of the other players winning a bo7 against Scarlett, like not even close. The same goes for TIME and Neeb, though I can see Neeb going down in a Bo5 PvP on a VERY bad day.

But yeah, for me Neeb is still the favourite to take it home.

I'm liking this, 2018 was a strange one off, constant repeats of the same winner, Starcraft has also been about varying results, one pro managing to find that something special before a tournament, or a preferred strategy being practiced against by too many opponents etc., you never know what to expect, I love this!

The Serral vs Reynor series was really interesting. I wonder if the counter to it involves mutas and banelings but then I'm not sure what the solution is if they add hydras to their composition. As others have said, maybe if Serral kept all his roaches together, the comp wouldn't be as effective.

Yeah 2018 was good year for viewership but I didn't personally like to see how only Maru and Serral were winning everything (I am biased because I wasn't really a fan of either tbf).

The format is fantastic, hope to see more tournament experiment with something like this.

My only gripe with how it was done for WCS Winter unlike in SSL 2 years ago is how it was super condensed to 2 days. This could have been multiple weeks long to really bring back the old WCS feeling (yes, I miss the olden days of 2013-2015 where WCS functioned as a league). Instead of doing it in one weekend, doing it on 2 days a week for 3-4 weeks. This would also have given them the chance to reduce the ridiculous break between Ro16 and Ro8. We went from February to end of March with no games played and I think that was a bit unnecessary.

Format is great, schedule is rough.

Well it had to be condensed because of Katowice, WESG, and the next season of WCS starting very soon too.

There would have been time to play some matches before and after Katowice I feel. But if that is too much, it could have been spread out over the last week at least. At the very least I don't think it's optimal for viewers to juggle 4 streams for 7 hours a day if they want all the action.

its only a matter of time for Reynor, only a matter of time.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

There was definitely no time between katowice and wesg, but I did find it weird that the round robin was done over 2 days, instead of the 4 days which they did for the group stages.

Yes, exactly, I honestly didn't even know it would be all played within two days until I've seen it on the upcoming matches page, hell, even stretch it over workdays.
