The lineup is looking good! Maru's first HSC? Now I am eager to find out the groups so I can decide if I should be worried for the number of Protoss in the top 8...

Going to the 2-of-6 advance format does make the group stage more interesting. Compared to some of the older tournaments where the groups could feel like a formality, there's some real tension in the second place races in this tournament.

and having 6 player groups instead of 8 player groups makes it way easier to administrate too, like with this format:
  • all players are upstairs in the player rooms instead of some also downstairs in the vip area
  • no overlapping groups (with 8 matches at the same time during the overlap) but one group after another (with 3 matches at the same time)

overall it imo is heavily preferable

(and it is no pseudo-swiss abomination)

Yeah, C is the only group that really feels like a formality (no offense to big Gabe, but unless Reynor is slacking hard he doesn't have much hope.) Showtime is playing well and pretty favored to get 2nd in B imo, but A (Gumiho is clearly the best player in that group, but him losing to Skillous and Nightmare is plausible) and the second spot in D are wide open.

It felt like a year I couldn't watch sc2, despite EWC being not that far back. So hype! Having Maru participate as well is the icing on the cake though, pretty fucking cool

Yeah Maru usually advances from groups and makes a strong playoffs run, he's got a ton of 2nd places (a blessing and a curse lol)

We haven't seen him play in a long time, I wonder what kind of shape he's in

my feeling is that reynor won't make it through the group phase.
I'm probably wrong.

Gabe could definitely beat Reynor, especially if Reynor hasn't been practicing much.

Looking forward to this. Great player list, it has been a while since the last offline tournament, and HSC is always a party.
Mutation complete.
