Crazy strong group. I can see any of these guys feasibly taking either 1st or 4th place, except Dark who I personally don't see going out last, but Dark loves to absolutely confuse me constantly with pretty much everything he does so I can't even say he wouldn't drop out last.

If everyone brings their absolute best, I think Dark and Bunny make it out, but that's a long shot with Bunny who has shown flashes of being Maru 2.0 but can never seem to sustain it for long. Solar probably has the lowest ceiling, but is otherwise always solid in both his ZvT and ZvZ, if any of these guys show up with less than their best Solar can and will knock them out.

Byun is always a question mark because of his wrists, but with a best of 3 format and online he should be at his most comfortable.

Should be an excellent group.

Solar threw the game 2-3 times and finally lost.

Edit: and he did it again, what a magnificent throw. Attacking into the 4th multiple time and failing to taking it down. Its almost like he just A-Move or something.

Typical of Solar, always indecisive that cost him a tone of lings and banes, thanks to tanks or mines.

You didn't let the banes kill the tanks, but it was planetary fortress that should be aimed by all the banes.

Solar show some of the worst engagement I have seen in a while, even on game 2 where his army was completely dominant, that last fight was also very bad.

Dark playing like an artist but with complete control and precision, he should win GSL this season, although facing Maru in the Ro4 might not be the best route to do it.

Dark is so scary from behind, insane he made it that close.

Still amazing stuff from Bunny, hoping he wins GSL! Maru is scary but hasn't looked as invincible in TvT lately.

I suspect it's more the map pool than balance, except in TvP where Protosses are underpowered.

Yeah Zerg cabal and Terran conglomerate are both going strong. Zerg just got unlucky with Dark winning the first bo3 but not the decider.
Protoss conclave is severely lacking though

If Maru play it right, he should be the favorite with his standard play, but we never know whats going on in his mind, he might just decide to proxy rush every single game, or 2 base all-in in TvT and get smashed.

And the KR Zerg just play some weird greedy game in ZvT times and times again, that last game is similar to that match between Byun and DRG. Terran just march over with 20-30 Marines and auto gg. Mean while we see how Lambo picked apart Maru for doing that, pretty sure Serral and Reynor are defending that great as well. Dark had no Overlord, no spotting Ling and just get greedy.

This is the first time in GSL Code S since 2011 October that the entire top 4 has been Terrans. Last time it was MMA, Mvp, GanZi and Happy.

It's actually only the second time the top 4 has been of the same race in GSL. The first time being that 2011 October GSL, both times all terrans. So what I'm trying to say here is

GomTvT is back baby. Actually worried the better things seem for Maru the more likely I feel like he's going to mess it up.

Or maybe the G5L curse is broken and Maru will just win every gsl going forward

Protoss conclave was responsible for losing AIUR in the original campaign and kept the Protoss devided due to their racism against the dark templars. The conclave always has been shit, no wonder it is laking behind in the balance department as well

Also in any other circumstances having the semis and final on the same day would detract from the semi winners not being able to prepare for the grand final, but since they're all TvTs, they just need to prepare more bags of tricks for both rounds lol.

Well to be fair most of them are sort of patch terrans

Maru was patch proxy boy
Byun was patch reaper
Cure was patch widow mines

Bunny has a chance to avoid that patch terran name

Nothing compares to top-4 patch zergs who won almost everything they ever did while playing in zerg-favored balance era of 2018-2022.

For some reason, they're always exempt. Except Rogue, I guess. It's okay to call him a patch zerg.

Maru record in Bo7 Final for the last 14 months has been like 1-8 including WTL result. So I think he will mess it up again, especially if he try to play like Byun with ultra aggression and cheese. The guys just couldnt keep it to himself and play a normal standard game.
