Zest and Showtime getting knocked out early has totally messed up the racial distribution. Zest got killed by two inferior players in PvZ, which says a lot about where his PvZ is at. And Showtime lost to Cure (no surprise especially in his weakest match up) and in PvP to Mana and Mana can beat just about anyone in PvP.

I was refering to the different strenght of the groups : having Solar/Sortof/Goblin/Mana vs Serral/Gabe/Neeb/Elazer or Clem/Reynor/ Dream/Inno is just weird. No offense to sortof, it's still a good perf but he got lucky for now.

it's really just group C. It's a group of death, it's much stronger than the others.

I would rather say the B is far below the others with 1 korean and 3 players which are not top 10/15 foreigners. While the A got 2 koreans and 2 top foreigners. The C got 4 top foreigners The D got 2 koreans.
Anyway, neeb is the only toss left, will be nice to see him advancing.

Based on what I have seen from Neeb so far this season, I think there is exactly 0 percent chance he is going to advance... Although I would love if he somehow did it

I know right? He just 3-0'd DARK for gods sake! One would imagine that translating to being able to beat Reynor too, but I guess not.
I honestly think a lot of that 3-0 was Dark just crashing his head into Dream with the roach-ravager stuff he loves to do (and which every Terran by now knows he loves to do).

Should have invited more Koreans. Zest was the only Korean Toss in the whole tournament and the only other Protoss that was even INVITED was Parting.
Homestory always has a bad habit of being bad at representing Korea in all 3 races of the tournament.
But HSC was always about the atmosphere
I know that, that's why I don't take the results of it too seriously. It still sucks though to see so many of the tournaments end up like this one with really bad racial representation. Makes me lose interest much faster.

There are 11 Protoss in this Tournament how is it the organisers fault that they didn't play up to their usual standards?
