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. 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
Reynor's chanches are underestimated here but what is surprising is that Special is low as well; TIME is really good, but I wouldn't expect him to win the event.

Well there was once upon a time a WCS where the Ro8 had Bomber, TaeJa, Polt, HyuN and Revival And it nearly killed the scene That was WCS NA, or better WCS KR 2.0; also, viOlet has been a better player than the very fearsome Revival.

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. Hey man, she just has terrible bracket luck. 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? So she's never been in form in the past 3 years then when a WCS was going on, yeah? 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. Let's not call it a slump, but that's not her average level. 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.
She can very well qualify, even if not going to WCS Spring definitely wasn't a wise decision.

I think that’s pretty fair really, still a good player obviously but I feel she’s long been a tad overrated vs her historic performances, the inverse of a fair few of the better EU players who I feel are a tad underrated by many

Who are those underrated players in your opinion? I am curious.

I turn on the stream. Hear "elazer is doing so well" and see the worst zerg engagement in televised history ....

I like these burrowed banes.

I am not sure if it is worth it trading the banes for the planetary.

not only lings are cheap they're also inexpensive

Yeah, I was afraid he would actually counterattack and do something, but he refused. However in my games, the "commit banes to planetary into roll over" is way too much of a theme
