Any chance better known commentators are casting (English)? Wardi for example?

Considering hes weirdly crapping on this event on the 1st page I really doubt he's casting it. Anyways I'm excited for it.


Really? XD

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'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.


Prophet Wardi already called it! If anyone else but a Zerg wins the tournament to you it'll be a miracle, and if a Z does win it'll be because of lag. Great!

If zerg wins it's because the chances are zerg will win. 65 % of the premier tournamnet in the last 3 years were won by a zerg. This means other 2 races combined won 35 % So statistically if anybody other thanzerg wins it's amiracle and if zerg wins it's a standard.

Edit> Actually based on the usual scenario, it will be balanced up until finals, where zerg wins in a PvZ, because protoss is the kong race (they have the most 2nd places in the premiere tournamnets out of the all 3 races)

Edit 2> the most unlikely scenario is a Protoss champion and a Terran runner up So place your bets on Trap v TY in them finals xD


Well, its not the most premier of tourneys (but ofc, me being a fan of sc2 since 9 years still love it. Just wanted to mention that), and prize money is not insane, so maybe some of the zergs want to keep their best plays for other tourneys and toss sees an opportunity and go all in, then maybe. MAYBE. a toss might win. But it is still not very likely.

The only thing that could make this match worse is if wardi was casting it.

when would people grow up from the Serral / Maru hype ... There is no hype, really, especially in online tournaments. I'm looking forward for Rogue deciding to earn some cash again and become the top SC2 earner.

According to liquipedia.net Rogue is 11k ahead already

1 South Korea Rogue $ 886,699 USD
2 Finland Serral $ 875,522 USD
3 South Korea Maru $ 862,952 USD

This basically means Rogue is out and Serral or Maru wins. That is a fact and scientifically proven

Why do people have to dump on everything all the time? Is there some other SC2 tournament with many of the top players in the world going on this weekend?

I wrote in the past 3 years, since having so long zerg one race dominant is slightly weird, isn't it?

Give kids more credit, I could understand this type of sarcasm when I was still younger than 10 and based off of the kids I've worked with, so can they.

If Serral vs Maru does not make people wanna watch SC2 then I don't know what will :D

Saying that Serral probably stomps him and we will sit there like well that was anti climactic #Zerg

Cross server Maru vs Serral is not what people want. Offline Serral vs Maru is what people want.

No matter how much you hype it 's a TvZ online and cross server. Most wanna see an offline match.

Also betting on a zerg when the majority of tournaments are being won by zerg is really being adventurous! Next time you will cross the road when the green light lights!

Serral vs. Maru is like George R. R. Martin releasing book 6 of a Song of Ice and Fire. We all really wanted it at some point, but now it's been so long and there's so much other good stuff out there it's hard to get hyped =(
