Maybe Serral vs. Maru delivers and becomes an actual rivalry, or we can finally put this artificial hype bubble behind us and concentrate on more exciting things - I'd say that's a win-win situation for everybody.

As for the other groups: Exciting stuff - Clem gets to work on his TvT, uThermal gets to bust out the specials once again. Rogue group is quite unpredictable if he snoozes for a game or two, and even if he doesn't the battle for second place will be nice and open. Group D with the Reynor vs. Inno classic and poor Nice getting thrown in there as a reward for a fantastic quali run.

People won't see it as that. If it's bad, people will say "well it's an online tournament Maru doesn't care" and if it's good people will say "xyz lost because of ping" etc. This won't end anything, just add to it :'d

I mean, you know very well that the same thing would happen at BlizzCon or where ever they would meet (jetlaaaaaag!), can't please everybody, especially not the fanboys on both sides looking for excuses. Anyways, Maru qualified for this thing, so I am sure we can put the 'he doesn't care' argument to rest already at least. Maybe that's just easy talking for me, since I don't have a horse in this particular race as a neutral party regarding these two.

It took two and half years to get to finally get to a point where neither of the two are considered to be the best player in the world--and that's when we get the series. At least expectations have well and truly been lowered by the wait.

The irony that the Maru-Serral match only happens once there's a solid case neither are the best player in their regions (let alone the world) is truly fantastic.

It's harder to blame jetlag than ping when both players are on the other side of the Earth and they have to meet at some time. This time it appears the time slot is quite sensitive towards the Korean players. Is it 8 PM Seoul time? (1PM CEST)

Edit> How come this awards points towards the IEM and the GSL Super Tournament #1 didn't? oO Like seriously ><

I wonder which Zerg will get the 30th premiere title for the race in this. I blame Rogue. Uh, select!! Will blame later

Well online has a quite unique position considering the ping is bad and that's an objective statement and it affects races differently.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Zoun has been looking rly good recently and I think he has a chance to make it out of his group even if he's not the favorite. I'm hoping he pops off and wins the whole thing, despite it being unlikely.

Zoun winning would be amazing but it's extremely unlikely.
I personally hope that Clem or Trap will win it, it's less unlikely!
And for Serral to beat Maru, of course

FINALLY WE HAVE SERRAL VS MARU, but this is no longer the most anticipated match since neither of them are in their prime.
Faker is the GOAT!

I don’t see Maru winning cross server, rip. He might qualify should he beat Trap, since MaNa should be doable even cross server.

Woah, Group stage matches are Bo5 for losers, winners and decider matches!
Opening matches are still Bo3 though. Why not make it all Bo5, like 2019 BlizzCon?
Or would that take to long?
