Will soO still be a kong if he wins this event? He will in my heart, at least. | ||

Was fun doing this. I think soO will finally break the second place curse in a great finals against Zest! | ||

Round 1: I expect the Kespa players to largely dominate everyone else. Round 2: This is where the real meat and potatoes begins. All four potential matchups look very close:
Semis: Byul-Zest: Zest has been on an upswing while Byul's in a bit of slump, Zest should be favoured. soO-Rain: the awkward potential team-kill, anything could happen. soO and Rain have never played a televised match in HotS, but given soO's unfortunate record of beating everyone except protoss champions, and Rain's recent form, I'd favour Rain slightly. Finals: Zest-Rain: Could the PvProleague Cup final be anything but a PvP? And could it be anyone other than Zest and Rain (yes, easily ) Both players are leaders on the two best teams in Kespa, which is the best (and now only) league in Korea, which is the best country in the world. The last time they met was to decide the Proleague championship, and Rain looked comfortably superior. Zest's understanding of the matchup seems less than perfect lately. Both players are members of a very elite few who are multiple winners of not just championships but the hardest kind of all, Korean championships. Zest won the last GSL cup (the GSL Global Championship) but Rain won the one before that (the Hot6ix Cup.) Zest won a GSL but Rain won the first SC2 OSL. Seeing them again in the finals would seem to be the slightly likelier outcome. | ||

Also KT best KT. | ||

Beyond the sheer results of the tournaments, here are the main points of this tournament to me : 1 - if Flash and soO meet again, what build(s) Flash will use? 2 - is Rain as dominant as he has seemed recently? 3 - what about Sorry? is he really a rising star or his qualification was just a small miracle that won't happen again? 4 - will the WCS EU/NA representant pass a round and how many maps can they actually win? | ||
