Feel bad for Leenock... KeeN should beat Ryung because he is one of the best player who came back from military.
No Innovation for the group's selection TT

I expect another 100% on liquibet! But there will probably be many people with 8/8 so far, since it was relatively easy predictions. Cure vs Leenock will probably look like a reverse Solar vs Gumiho

I find Leenock's promo pic unrecognizable. I don't see anything there that even remotely reminds me of the face of Leenock in my memory.
|
People seem very confident in Cure. On paper, I agree he should win but... his performances in the last couple GSLs have been remarkably terrible. I mean, this year he's qualified for both GSLs and both Super Tournaments, and across those four events he's won two series (both in GSL season one). If Leenock can win one game it feels like the series is his.

I went back and forth between the pictures in the promo and the picture by the match up. The match up pic is my memory of Leenock. The nose shape and the prominent eyebrows are all similarities I see. The jaw, the eyes, the cheeks etc. are not the same. Promo Leenock is thinner, but the eyes shouldn't change.
Keen vs Ryung is hard to call. Keen has been surprisingly good after coming back, but Ryung have years and years of impressive TvT. Keen had the anti Maru TvT as long as Maru didn't proxy. There was a time of Ryung having 50+% winrate in TvT, but every other Terran he faced had above 80% TvT. Ryung played evenly with the greatest TvTers.

I like Cure too, but I'm hoping for Leenock to win

Man I want every single player tonight to advance....

Do we know who are the Seeded players for each group, probably Dark Rogue Maru Trap?

Rogue and Trap has performed well in the last year of GSL. Dark has won and Maru is seldom placing badly. It could very well be Dark, Rogue, Maru and Trap.

Mech vs mech, now that's really fucking cool (and rare)

Lmfao even Artosis is mocking Marinelord and meme-ing the "better tools"

They really need to fix group A, its leaky as hell and always leads to some subpar players at season finals.

Is this the first time a non GSL Code S Champion get the right to pick up any person he want for Group A?
|
|
Leenock's roaches doing nothing to kill the mining SCVs while he simultaneously tanking the upper ramp with Queens.

I also didn't remember that well too. He got 2nd place back to back at some point, kind similar to Trap.

This. I kinda agree. Korean's scene desperately needs new blood from Zerg race. We know what will happen after Rogue and Dark leave for military.

damn, juanito looking very sexy these days

Rogue always made a group of death except that when he got the right of the top seed before. Zoun killed Rogue a lot in PvZ games that Rogue decided to choose him over Keen.
|
Did Maru pick Solar? What the fuck? Why? So many easier options!
|
No dinner treat for Special, then lol

Welp Special is screwed in Group A with that, but he at least made Group A really funny for Trap who is now stuck with at least one dangerous PvP opponent.

Special eventually get his dinner treat.
|
So, which one is the group of death? Group B or C?
|
hmmm. Looks like a tough pick for Group B, but.
Trap, Zest Maru, Solar Rogue. Zoun Dark, Parting
Is kind of what I'm feeling for the Ro8. Group B is the hardest to really pick a second favorite from so if there is a Group of Death that's probably it.

Rogue and Dark should get ro8 again, I hope my boy gets further this time . Nice groups, and quite balanced ! Special kinda messed up Trap's group, it's not as easy as group A usually is.
|
Good groups, A is the only one with two super clear favorites (unless offline Cure shows up, in which case Zoun and DRG are heavily favored to get out of C)
|
Hard to believe that Ryung lost considering he is a TvT specialist! But I guess it makes sense that Keen won since no Nada to stop him.

I feel like I'm missing something here.
Groups seem really good this time around: fairly unpredictable and without too many mirrors.

I read this as "A is the only clear one unless "offline Cure" shows up (= Cure has a bad day) and thereby makes group C also clear"

Yeah was cool, I’d love to see him back in some kind of casting capacity but alas it’s probably not too likely any time soon.

Its still his best matchup i think, but he is a tier below the others now ,so makes sense.

I would like to propose that SpeCial + Arty's casting archon name should be "Sparty"
