I'm excited to see how well Heromarine, TIME and especially Showtime will do. The later showed great multitasking against Scarlett. | ||

And ZvZ between two players like Serral and Reynor is far from a coinflip I don't know about that: Special lost to Reynor in official events the last three times they played, so I'd say Reynor has at least a slight advantage here. Heromarine won the series at HSC, but lost at WCS Spring. I know he says that he usually wins against Reynor but the official score says that they are, at least, even. | ||

That was WCS NA, or better WCS KR 2.0; also, viOlet has been a better player than the very fearsome Revival. The presence of koreans in WCS EU helped non koreans players so much, so many european triumphs in HoTS! Today's top 8 is current standings' top 8 but I would gladly switch a non slumping Scarlett with Heromarine. | ||

Don't think it classifies as a slump when it's her average level of the past 3 years just because she had some upward swings in between. | ||

Reynor probably has Heromarine on his way to the final, and Heromarine crushed him last time they met and also is confident except against Serral apparently. Although the shape of each player will definitely decide today, Reynor surely can beat him in top form. | ||

Not really, she is just extremely inconsistent. When she is in form she is top 3 WCS for sure, when she isn't she's barely a ro16 player. Has Heromarine ever beaten a top korean in his career? | ||

I just find it really humorous that someone can be a champion a few months prior, and who consistently maintains the 2nd highest MMR in EU, and then be expected as least likely to win the current tournament. While Time who lost to Masa a few months ago has the 2nd highest polling! hahahaha | ||

However I feel Heromarine is better than ever atm. | ||

Don't let her beating good Koreans every now and then distract you from the fact she hasn't made top 4 in a region-locked WCS. Except WCS Winter where EU and NA were split. She has good peaks, but this is her average level and not a slump. | ||

I'll pick her to represent WCS at BlizzCon over Heromarine every time, unless Big Gabe has seriously improved. | ||

Well she's well on the way to not making Blizzcon, just like every year before this one. | ||
