I dont like challenger format at all. One match to decide who goes to premier...

According to this prediction only like 1 player reaches the Ro4 every season. Apparently even hydra will only reach Ro4 once, and polt stay in Ro8 other than maybe one victory. Who the hell is supposed to be in the Ro4 then?

this isn't a preview or prediction article but just stats and some info. we don't know who will reach premier league yet so it's impossible to make predictions.

You expect so few from Lilbow? imo he's one the top Protoss along with Welmu now

Big mistake to not keep Puck in that conversation for foreigners, IMO.

Tbh I don't follow the American scene that much, so I have no idea who's really good and who's just average-good among American players. So I'll believe you on that.


Lilbow is smashing a ton of high tier koreans in online tournaments lately. He beat True 3-2, Fantasy 2-1, Solar 2-0 and Hyun 4-1, to name a few.
In terms of recent results, I wouldn't be afraid to call him the #1 foreigner protoss.

I have been so out of touch of the foreign scene. This WCS season is like a restart for me almost been to budy with koreans ^_^
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

We've already done our Challenger series. We in premier now, and I imagine me and PiG will get our write ups when our groups come up. You'll note they skipped China's finished Challenger as well.

oh i get it just be nice for a change for other countries to get write ups first
