He only has trouble with the Koreans terrans Oliveria has really good TvT, he's firmly within the "best of the rest" tier of TvT (Cure, Byun, Clem, Oliveira, Gumiho - good TvTers who aren't Maru.) Would not at all be surprised seeing him beat Clem. Losing to Spirit would be a shock though, I think Clem advances second at worst. | ||

But yeah, I cannot imagine the three big ones not advancing from or even suffering more than 1-2 map losses in the group stage. Probably only the mirror matchups may lead to some hiccups. | ||

In the current SC2 tournament environment, you have to wonder if the rest of the international community will have to buy in as well. | ||

Normally I’d find the pace a little slow, but actually in the absence of other tournaments filling the schedule at present, I’m quite enjoying that it’s that little bit more spread out. | ||

Hopefully the month long break before the playoffs doesn't kill his momentum, I feel like he can take most non Maru/Clem/Serral players in his current form (he nearly got Serral, but in a rematch I imagine it would look different.) Did he do much interesting? I missed some of his games. He’s always struck me as a player who does better when he has some new idea or toy, either a funky build he figures out in a settled meta, or funky new stuff in a more fresh one | ||

Just very clean. Astrea did us toss proud Now we just need Maxpax to play well too | ||

Yeah, it sort of gives the impression of an ongoing league, which in the absence of other SC2 tournaments is welcome. | ||

Gutted for Shin, he'd been in such red hot form in the weeklies lately but completely flopped his group | ||

Pleasant surprise from Reynor just sweeping the group after his HSC outing though | ||
