NaNiwa just has to win now that Stephano and MVP can't interfere anymore. Would like to see MC and Grubby make it far though

LOL. WCS EU so volatile! WCS EU killing e-sports.

Kidding, of course. Sad that MVP, Stephano and Lucifron is out, but I'm happy we have Naniwa, MMA and MC back in form.

There was a lot of overturn in the top 8 this season.
0/8 repeats in WCS EU
1/8 repeat in WCS AM ( aLive only player with back to back Ro8 appearance)
4/8 repeats in WCS KR ( INnoVation, Bomber, Soulkey, Symbol)

so 5/24 repeat top 8s


Yeah, honestly, all this volatility talk is BS. The game has stabilised pretty much in Korea, and the WCS results show for it. Like I've said before, I think the game is more stable than it ever has been in SC2 history (though of course, there is more room for improvement to reach to BW stability standards).

Why do people keep saying that MMA is going to beat Hasuobs? MMA said his TvP was really weak right now. Naniwa easily beat him in the Round of 16. Also, Hasuobs is playing some amazing Starcraft right now.

Hasuobs 3-1 MMA
Welmu 3-2 MC
Naniwa 3-1 Duckdeok
Grubby 3-2 Vortix

Calling it now. This has been a season of upsets. I bet there will be a few more.
I really need a better quote... but I have no ideas :( .

With so many Protoss it looks to me as if the German EPS, which is held in the same studio, has infected WCS with the PvP plague
Which means that Hasu has this.

I think I've been missing something in the scene. What's up with finale since turning into duckdeok? I'm fascinated. Is he the new Dragon?

I think MMA stands no chance vs HasuObs. HasuObs is very good in PvT and very defensive. MMA didn't look like how to play TvP vs Naniwa and even with a huge lead he couldn't win. I think Hasu will 3-0.

I don't even want to predict PvPs and PvZs -_-

Finale is basically becoming a protoss version of hyvaa. He doesn't beat around the bush, he's insanely aggressive in his openings but he's making it work with sick control, forcefields and his followup transitions are really smart. It's kind of a love-hate thing people have with him because of that.

I personally love it. A lot of greedy things are going unpunished in HotS as they did in WoL for a long time until someone like him comes along and just shuts your greed down completely. Best example was game 1 against Lucifron where finale just got rid of him with the simplest 3gate pressure expand

He's like a reality check for people who are spoiled by how dreamy HotS is

No wonder. He sounds more like a Toss version of Life then, back in his heydays.

But hey, I love hyvaa too. He's so entertaining with his 6pools that I've forgiven him for his BW sins.

looking at this bracket, i have to say this could finally be the first major tournament in hots won by a non-korean player. MC has been quite shaky lately, duckdeok seems to win with a bunch of all-ins and cheeses so I don't know how that's going to work vs players like Naniwa, Grubby/Vortix etc. MMA has been playing pretty well but he would likely have to play all protoss up to the finals which isn't exactly his best matchup right now.
