Maru should play it smart now and pick a strong player tbh. Minimize the risk of Dark swapping TY next to him.

Maybe he should go for a strong ZvZ, Dark wouldn't like that. Solar perhaps?

The logical choice. Now Dark should at least not get double value from his swap.

Let's see if it backfires though. Solar's ZvT is pretty strong.

GSL results from across the year factor into it. Maru won season 1, so he has a high amount of GSL points even though last season was a bust.

He was fine. What he said was "It doesn't matter who picks me, I'm going to end up in Group A anyway. So pick me in that group if you want to make things easier for Dark."

If soO wasn't a progamer, he would have been a K-pop idol. Finally Mizenhauer's reverence makes perfect sense.

It seemed like there were mainly three types of answer in that "go back 10 years" question. Either change nothing, get back the time that was lost to isolated practice, or be some other type of pro athlete. My favorite answer was Solar's, though. He's personable enough to do that political stuff.

Why do you think that? He speaks some Korean and gets at least most of what the commentators say before his translator translates.

Yeah he always has the best answers. Remember a couple of seasons ago when they asked them who they wanted to be if they weren't themselves. Everybody named another progamer, usually a very successful one. Solar was like "lol if I could chose anyone I wouldn't want to be some progamer, I would be a pro footballer, Son Heung-min"

Considering that Maru has been coasting on easy Ro16 groups, this is not surprising.

Can we please not have a Splyce teamkill? It's like every time they both make Ro16. Let's try something new.

Classic, MAru, GumiHo, Dear. So ezpz group. Remember you need to win the Code S first to make yourself the easy group

Edit>
Also Maru, Solar, Zest, Patience isn't exactly the easiest possible group out there, but back then it was either a Terran for Maru in RO16 or a teamkill.

Wonder if there is an odd chance that Dark swaps Fantasy into his group instead of making group C even deadlier. Would give him the three weakest TvZ's, couldn't get much better.

Oh right there's also Cure.

Well, he told everyone not to pick Terrans and Trap didn't listen. So Trap is on the shit list. It's possible.

I was talking mostly about Solar & Zest. The irony is soO who selected his own group where he did end last

Wonder if this is even good for TY in the end. Now Dark has his perfect group so he's definitely going to use the swap for malicious purposes. TY in group C it is

rofl or he could use it just for spite :D

Oh. He doesn't have to swap within his own group, does he? So he can just leave his whole group there, and then swap Fantasy with Maru or something.

Remember, they nerfed the swap. The swap can't be used on two out-of-group players anymore. At least one has to be in A.

To be fair to TY, in his last two encounters with herO, he took multiple map wins both times. And their previous meeting before those was in January.

Depending on what Stats and TY appears at their play day we may end up with 4 JAGW players in the RO8. (if Rogue finally woke up)

If we take into account every possible world in every possible reality, there's going to be some where Special and Fantasy advance. It probably won't be in this one though.

OK, let's face it. Unless Dark really screws up he's 1st. Which means TY has two options
1) Win against probably the best PvT in Korea ATM
2) Boost some random Terran(mjr Special?) TvZ so he wins the group instead of Dark

I don't know, Kev

If there are about 100.000+ parallel worlds, then yes I guess there are 2-3 wehre Special and Fantasy both adavance
But there are about 5000+ where neither advances

TY is going to try extremely hard to avoid Dark.

OK, let's face it. Unless Dark really screws up he's 1st. Which means TY has two options
1) Win against probably the best PvT in Korea ATM
2) Boost some random Terran(mjr Special?) TvZ so he wins the group instead of Dark

I don't know, Kev

TY can beat any Protoss, just has to be on his game. But when he's on his game I still don't see him beating Dark outside of BO3.

But there are about 5000+ where neither advances


.... so you're saying there's a chance?!

Have been watching his streams lately and he has so far not mastered sky terran vs mass investor/corrupter late game. He is trying with liberator/battlecruiser combo like maru has but he is not macroing at anywhere near the same speed as maru, and his liberator/battelcruiser micro is also not up to par.

I think he is going to struggle against dark going by his recent streaming performance.

Same can be said about Trap vT(maybe except Maru ), their match can go both ways but while Trap was in a good form and did beat TY in S1 TY managed to return from a short term slump. It will be interesting.

Terran buffed as well. I think we can cut the might as well, group B is at the end of August, I don't see Blizzard waiting this long. I presume the balance changes will come with the new ladder season, a week before the Ro16 starts and a week after GSL vs the World.

Charge nerf and prism nerf will affect every Protoss very hard if they go through as proposed recently. The positive aspect for Trap is that if the changes come out as I predict, it's unlikely there's gonna be any groundbreaking meta progress (a build that makes perfect use of the stim change) until his group is played

Also they have to worry about beating Cure and herO before they worry about each other

Hmm I think you're going to have to elaborate a bit on that.

Dark has had the least exposure and worst winrate against Terrans this year in offline play. His last match loss was to Gumiho, who was 2-0d by Armani this season. Special's form against Korean Zergs is unclear, as most of the matches he plays against them are against the same few that do online competitions regularly. In TvT, he has proven time and again that he's capable of hanging tough with all but that absolute best. Fantasy's a build man, adept with preparation. Always has been, so the long gap works in his favor. He has a good deal of relatively recent offline matches against other Zergs in this Ro16, so he isn't being held up by any degree of insufficient practice.

Now, I'm no fool. Dark is the very, very clear favorite in this group. But as we've seen in the past, it's entirely possible to get complacent when you're the top overall seed and you've made what appears to be an A+ group selection (*cough*Inno*cough*). If Dark is too pleased with his results, this might not end up being the battle for 2nd that it appears to be.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

What I mean is that Trap's PvT wasn't based around heavy WP usage and chargelots everywhere nor the timings with those. herO? Classic? Zest? PATIENCE? Sure, these will get hit harder than Trap. In PvT, PvZ is a different story.

A very important part of Trap's PvT is his excellent warp prism harass. Now that's not nearly the only thing that's been making Trap's PvT work, but the ability to deal with a warp prism in your main more easily will surely be a god send for Terrans. And the impact of the core army unit becoming strictly worse remains to be seen.

Those changes combined might actually also make mech in TvP decisively better because the #1 cause of death for people trying to mech has been getting busted by mass gateway units (mostly zealots and stalkers) before having a reasonable sized army.

It looks like a 2-1-1 but you actually rush out the EMP upgrade in a hidden ghost academy and remove the transfuse energy from every queen with 1 EMP.

Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I actually think that worked out pretty well for Fantasy and Special, unless KeeN shows up like he did in the ro32.

Glad to see no KT team kill as well.

I was thinking like 2-1-1 even without Medivacs at the start. 4 Marauder, 4 Hellions and go. Could then be reinforced by Medivacs who bring the new units to the front so no zergling counter possbile

I think he is going to struggle against dark going by his recent streaming performance.

But the group stage matches are still a month away, so any Ro8 battles are about a month and a half away. A lot can change in that time.
