My man. Let's go enjoy some drams!

DAMN IT!

alcohol is a disinfectant. so we should be good

also probably not a lot of kissing and stuff as there would be a vast majority male (so same as an sc2 tournament actually)

As much as it pains me to say it, I have my doubts about Cure and Maru. Maru hasn't played at all yet, and if he comes out flat like he sometimes does, his group is fucking stacked and won't show mercy on him, ditto with Cure who has major offline jitters.

But maybe Maru comes out swinging and the lack of a crowd boosts Cure's confidence?

Anything can happen. I do truly expect TY and Innovation to advance though, especially how Innovation looked in the qualifiers.

Now all that there is left to do is to hope and pray that Maru doesn't have one of his "overseas tournament runs" again...

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

Fun fact, drinkable alcohol isn't strong enough to kill viruses, especially Scotch which is usually bottled around 80 proof. You want something stronger to kill germs effectively.

Well to be fair Inno didn't play anyone even remotely close to Elazer's level in the qualifier. And that's the easiest match in the group. Unless we're still in bizarro world and Elazer actually bops the Terrans.

Yea but Inno looked on form, and when he's on form I don't consider Elazer or for that matter Solar to be a match for him. Patience is a wild card and PvT is fucked (what is it like 60% PvT winrate at this tournament?) so I can't dismiss him off hand. And Maru as I said can be questionable what form he's in and Inno is a beast at TvT.

That leaves Trap, who really didn't look THAT strong in the qualifiers.

I dunno. I have the most confidence in Inno advancing out of that group of everyone there, but once I see Maru's first match I might change my mind.

It's easy to look on form when your opponents are levels below you. It's much harder when they're punching in your weight class. And this is why C is the best group, because any set of 3 players has a shot.

Ugh sucks I'm probably gonna need to VOD tomorrow. Group C and D are probably going to be the most exciting round of the tournament. If Serral lays an egg and drops out of the group (unlikely but totally possible) I'll be pissed if I miss it.

I'll also miss all of C because of work. But my favorite player is in group D which I'll be home for, so that's something.
