Protoss definitely has an advantage in the matchup now due to the hellbat nerf, so Ro4 is going to be:
Symbol v Innovation, and Rain v First, with Innovation steamrolling Rain 4-0 in the final.

Not sure if its the OSL format or what, but we really have some really unexpected players in the final 8

Go Maru! He has been one of my favorite Terrans since I say him do a crazy rush with hellion drops with 2 landed Vikings as support. He definitely deserves at least a top 4 since he hasn't had the chance to go to foreign tourneys and has always been considered "the mini MKP", which I think in this day and age is an insult of sorts.

Also would like to see Bomber or Innovation win. Obvious Terran bias detected.

The only players that could be considered unexpected are Maru and First. The rest have been Ro8 material in the recent past.

Little question, if, by some miracle, we got a symbol-bomber final, which one will be stronger, the bomber curse or the symbol ability to always finish second ?

Someone didn't watch Rain vs. Hyvaa.

Hoping Supernova beats Rain just because of the fact that Rain managed to lose that game against Hyvaa.
