Cure by far the strongest competitor in this bracket imo. Would love to see soOjwa back in top shape!

Isn't Zoun in that bracket too? Not sure I'd rank Cure over Zoun. Based on historic results sure, but Cure hasn't been putting up those results recently (or he wouldn't have to fight his way through the Ro36). Either way, Cure and Zoun look like they got the easier bracket. Really just Has and Harstem who might contest. Top with soO, Ryung, Classic, Scarlett and Elazer looks way harder.

If I would break them into tier, it would probably be:
Most likely to make it: Cure, Zoun
Probably make it if they show up: Scarlett, Elazer, Ryung, Spirit, Soo, Classic
Will be surprised but cool if they make it: Nightmare, Charm, Has, Harstem

Expecting to see the Koreans plow through this round, but always excited for some good games and potential upsets and dark horses. :0)

All the R1 matches ended within a minute of each other as 2-0's

The Schedule Cabal is real :0

They like to pit Zerg, Terran and Protoss against each other, but Talkcraft always win.

Edit: Spirit with a protoss-colour keyboard, I feel like that's just asking to have Has push hin to smack his keyboard in pieces.

I am outside of the loop, is this being play in the patch iteration that buffs zergs and nerf toss and terran?

Spirit doing a ByuN live on A stream, that does not bode well for his play-in run :/. (he paused due to wrist pain)
edit: saw Coffee destroy Zoun in g3, he used a clever 2 base all-in with a lot of tanks on a new map with a sweet tank spot. The disruptors were unable to shoot effectively due to the rocks + reduced nova, maybe protoss will struggle this IEM? Too early to tell but Coffee beating Zoun is an insane upset imho

Wow, Coffee beat Zoun 2-1

TL;DR: two base pushes are good
