Polt and Bomber i think. I think, though, that both protosses have chances (if First goes god mode like he did vs FanTaSy or if Grubby prepares some sick cheese builds).

Really like how you've set up the story lines for each of the groups while providing narrative around some of the more colourful players

How are gonna hype Grubby, when (at least for myself) every player in the group is a heart-choice. I´m gonna cry some...

I do think we may see First and Bomber advance...

Love Polt though, and my heart goes for Polt + Bomber advancing, but I think First will be too good.

i have 3 absolute-favorite players (used to be four but that french dude retired t.t). Grubby and Bomber are two of them. Polt is closely behind the top 3. First is on my favorite team AND one of the players i like most on it. in other words, fuck this group.

As long as Polt makes it out, I'm happy. Bomber in second would be cool.

I really hope First goofs about and loses everything. I feel his PvT is overrated, with his reputation being based on mauling Fantasy, which isn't a big feat these days.

No way does Polt beat Bomber in a TvT.

      (1941) Polt  0-0  Bomber (1818)    
-----------------------------------------
30.66% 2-0 0-2 19.92%
27.37% 2-1 1-2 22.06%
-----------------------------------------
58.03% 41.97%

Median outcome: Polt 2-1 Bomber

Estimated by Aligulac. Modify.

Bomber's really good in TvT. Polt's as good if not better. He's a master of bio-tank.

Bomber's good in Korea, Polt outside of it. Polt beating Bomber will be an upset but at the same time Polt beating First will be an upset so maybe the two terrans will never play.
