Also, i think dark could pull it off, he's had sick ZvT lately and is my (no pun intended) serious darkhorse contender

Those can't be right just because you list Soulkey beating Shine... You do understand that this is impossible?

Shine will beat everyone, until we believe Shine will beat everyone. One will never be happy with Shine.

The only valid prediction is that Soo will lose in the finals.

I'm glad that Maru's looking to make it to the Ro8, but man, what would the fallout be if he got knocked out here?

wont be surprised. Almost all GSLs have at least one major upset. I can see Stork/Dark making it through. Also Shine has a chance to beat soulkey and zest

How were these group's drawn? Are they still by GSL points? Because some of them are stacked while some are easy. Like Group A had soO (season 1 runner up) ,2 Ro8's in hero and Parting, and Classic from Ro16. Now compare that with Group C.

Meh I kinda wish they still did group selections.

Yeah because those never wound up with a group of death that was drastically harder than the others .

It's random draw and that's just how it worked out. But Dark, TRUE, and Stork might surprise you

Random draw unless I missed something. A pretty girl (barbie?) drawing names out of balls.

I think Zest losing to Shine, whether it be in a loser's or winner's match would be the biggest upset of all time.
why?

That's like saying Bisu losing to Shine would be the biggest upset of all time.

Don't underestimate Dark. He's one scary zerg to play against.

And Shine... the wild card.

Wow, how does SKT have seven players in the ro16 =/


thats easy
Step 1: have 7 players in ro32
Step 2: let all players advance
Step 3: have 7 players in Ro16 xD


Soulkey more skilled than Innovation? What a joke. Soulkey wasn't even more skilled than Innovation when he won GSL. And I guess according to you since then SK's only gotten better while Innovation's only gotten worse, because results actually determine skill, right? Results aren't determined by balance at all, so when EFFORT knocks out MARU, FLASH, AND TY over the course of TWO DAYS that just means Effort magically got very very good very very fast, while Maru, Flash, and TY must be slipping more than usual, right?

What a magical place the world must seem when events are connected by coincidence and not by a progression of causes and effects.

This is actually very simple. Every single TvZ result for the last 6-8 months is suspect. Every single TvZ result for the last 6-8 months does not accurately reflect player skill. That is literally the definition of imbalance in a game, and TvZ has been distinctly imbalanced in Z's favor AT LEAST ever since the WM nerf.

Like Tasteless said, 50% of each race's players advanced from the RO32, which means the game is perfectly balanced right now.

That assumes that each race was appropriately represented in the Ro32 to begin with.


Thats a different discussion altogether though.

Like its been said before, should games be balanced based on the performances of the best players or the not good players?


By best players you mean the #1 player? If so, I guess when Innovation started slipping back in S3, Terran should have gotten some crazy buffs. Or did we just assume Maru to be his timely replacement? Well, unfortunately the last time Maru was in a ro4 was 6 months ago, and he just got beat in a macro game by a guy who went 1-8 in Proleague and hasn't had a notable individual league performance since never in his life, if Liquipedia is to be believed. The best Terran in the world got beat in a macro game by someone who apparently sucks at both Proleague and individual league.

So... again, crazy Terran buffs inc if we're balancing around the performance of the best players?
