Overall a great day of StarCraft 2  I am curious to see the replays of ByuN vs Dark, he kinda got bamboozled by Dark’s ability to create chaos | ||

Is there still hope for him to get there with points? herO needs 4 spaces to open up since Reynor, Byun, Solar and Gumiho are all ahead of him in points. herO got 350 points from this tournament, but he also has a chance to win more in GSL. If he straight up wins GSL he should get a direct seed (I think). So there's a chance he makes it in still. Either with points from GSL or from enough spots opening up above him. | ||

Nah he's 99.999999% in. Reynor is 100% from Europe, two of ByuN/Solar/GuMiho are in from Korea, and three spots rolled down to global standings from this tournament. He's safe by a huge margin. As said in the article, there was like actually very little EWC drama around this tournament because the point structure basically 99% locked in most of the players. | ||

Maybe there's something in other aspects of his life that distracts him, who know. He's a young lad. | ||

Clem would still get my vote, although when Oliveira is hot he’s very hot indeed. | ||

To be blunt if Oliveira also won here it would actually be getting kind of hard to put Clem over him. But that's getting way ahead of ourselves. Well, tricky is better. It's definitely more tricky. | ||

Oliveira didn’t really do all that much when WCS was region amalgamated, whereas Clem was going toe-to-toe with Serral and Reynor for quite some time (albeit much of that when WCS split back to regionals) His career is somewhat reminiscent of what Heromarine’s would look like if you added a World Champ to it, which isn’t meant as a diss to anyone involved. Pretty consistent placement, almost always loses to folks like Serral or Reynor when it counted. I mean Clem won the last one of these, a bunch of regionals ofc and he’s had some pretty decent placements in WC tier events. Oliveira of course has won one of the latter which is huge. Realistically I think he has to win this/have a big EWC and Clem have a bad one and then maybe that might nudge him ahead. At present he’s got a big weekend over Clem, but Clem’s general body of work eclipses his IMO | ||

Oli repeatedly through interviews shows that he still has that competitive hunger and fire underneath him, whereas HM has resigned himself to just being the highest-skilled prolific streamer of EU, for the steady income. I think that's the difference that let Oliveira enter his "final form" which snatched him the IEM trophy, and crushing Maru in the process. | ||
