I feel his clutchness starts to increase the deeper he goes, I’d fancy his chances to pull off a reverse sweep in playoffs more than him pulling off a recovery from 0-2 here. Especially when just winning may prove insufficient, with score differential also coming into play. As well as the complication that players will have already qualified by the time he’ll have clawed back a deficit. It can go both ways to be fair, with this format you can see more on-paper upsets when players start to qualify and take their foot off the gas a bit. Although I’m looking at the match order, it’s not too bad for Reynor. If he can navigate herO next up, Maru and herO will still be fighting to get out. After that he’s got Dark, who may be 3-0 and 6-1 at that point. He should be close to mathematically qualified, although maybe not as group winner. Never easy playing Dark, but I think easier than fighting a Dark who’s trying to cling to his tournament life. But yeah he definitely has the ability to do it. | ||

If I'm not mistaken: Shin guaranteed top2, top 1 if he beats Oliveira. Cure guaranteed top3, top 1 if he beats Stats and Shin loses. For Bunny to advance, he needs: -Beat Clem, SHIN beats Oliveira -Beat Clem 2-0, Oliveira 2-1 SHIN For Oliveira to advance, he needs: -Beat SHIN, Bunny beats Clem. Needs to beat SHIN with at least equal map score as Bunny beats Oliveira. For Clem to advance, he needs -Any victory. | ||

The caveat beeing to enter endgame somewhat even He’s clearly a very good player at that kind of game. There’s that old saying that a musician is a ‘musician’s musician’, Spirit strikes me as a ‘StarCraft’s Starcraft player’, EU pros seem to rate him more than the average viewer, they must see something in their endless practice games. | ||

You're reading way too much into what I said. Get out of your own head bro. All I'm saying is that Serral just so happens to get weak groups (weak compared to his skill level) every year and has never had to play in a group of death therefore less stress and better performance later down in the tournament giving him a higher chance of winning. Its just good luck. It can't possibly be anything else. I am just simply wondering why. No need to project bro. | ||
