That's like blizzcon 2014, Life beats Taeja in a epic bo5 after beating Zest, most people expected him to beat MMA, which he did.
I wouldn't call it a surprise, I don't think many were (except the game on akilon wastes which JD threw), people were just disappointed and crushed to see how it was done.

Aw yeah, people were more surprised it was sOs.
ASUS tourney, wasn't that the tournament where JD was scared by Khaldor?

JD was a big fan favorite and caster favorite so it was presented as a surprise. The same way some foreign casters tend to favour foreigners.

On the other hand, Showtime's record against korean Terran is so terrible that John Sun would still be the favourite.
Showtime smashed Inno a week ago, that'd be well enough for John Sun.

I was at that Blizzcon, and the salt levels in the crowd was unlike anything I've ever seen before. The amount of butt hurt nerds that wouldn't even clap for sOs when he got his trophy made me so mad. It still makes me mad to think about it.

In retrospective (this word exists in english too right ?), for sure yes...
What a heroic effort by Life tho...

Maybe, a nailbiting 3-2 tho. Showtime's record is truly appalling!

Showtime from ASUS vs full John Sun is an easy 3-0. If any sort of actual TY shows up it gets harder.

Well, he was being favored by the crew because he was a big fan favorite and he played really well. So it's not that surprising. I just found it hilarious that his unknown dude just arised, did beat JD and pissed everybody Loved that.

Well, JD was setting up the sound or something and Khaldor came from behind and JD was focusing on the PC, so when Khaldor gently touched him, he got a little bit jumpy DAMN CANNOT FIND THE GIF/Video ><

Wasn't it a 3-1? Also played some pretty good games vs a in form maru so idk should be good enough.

Showtime won 3-1 against Inno.
That was the exception, tho; getting 3-0d by Maru who had just gone 3-2 against Harstem is more like his expected performance(sadly).
John Sun has hopes, if TY shows up Showtime is just going down.

The maru that played vs showtime was very different than the one vs harstem i'd say.

I feel like whenever we have either Reynor or Serral playing against foreigners, we might skipt the games and just give Serral/Reynor the ticket to the next round.
|
There is a lil bit of a wealth difference in this game
|
this game looked like a 500mmr difference ladder game 
|
Reynor won a game where he was down 30k in resources lost on Romanticide, Serral can certainly win this when roughly even in resources lost.
Romanticide is so hard to turtle on since it's so easy for the opponent to take bases that are "meant" for you. On most maps the non-turtling player can be up a base or two--on Romanticide you can be up four.

Since Serral is 7.4k on EU, it might be pretty accurate.
