The StarLeague will be rescheduled if necessary to accomodate the players attending both Katowice and NSSL.

How is Taejas form?



Not really good when looking at the few games he played in the last month. Especially his TvZ is really not good. So I predict Dark>Taeja

Inno beating life twice will be glorious
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

Honestly, I think the winner of Life vs Innovation will most likely win the whole tournament. herO has a good chance too.

Snute goes up 2-0 before he loses 3 maps though.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

This bracket is so stacked, I love it.
Really hope Innovation defeats Life, let Life sit this one out for once.

Looks like KeSPA Cup on holiday. I predict Dark winning this.

Out of all players who I think are most likely to win this thing(herO, Cure, Zest, Life, INnoVation, Maru and Dark) I think Dark has the easiest bracket in front of him. I favor him over Maru if the two clash.
S4 Arrows, never forget. RIP Woongjin Stars.

Hot holy fuck, this is SO stacked...

Cure > Hero
Bbyong > Solar
Zest > Hydra
Life > Innovation
Trap > Flash
Rain > Fantasy
Maru > Patience
Dark > Taeja

Bbyong > Cure
Life > Zest
Trap > Rain
Maru > Dark

Life > Bbyong
Maru > Trap

Maru > Life

This would be my perfect outcome taking into account current form, entertainment value, hype.

Katowice, please be awesome!

Potential SKT team kill in the finals. I'm not seeing your point here. If anyone, SKT fans have had to deal with this for a decade.

Because CJ players often met in early stages of tournaments lately (see Bbyong vs sKyHigh, Bbyong vs herO etc)

Easy 2-0 in NSSL Ro16...

Dark, I think, is one of the players with less experience out of korea, he could do it, but I would favor Maru

Holy stacked bracket batman. This is one of the craziest 16 person player pools we have ever seen. It's basically a GSL Ro16.

Inno vs Life again lmao. Bbyong/Solar, herO/Cure, Dark/Taeja are my other matchups to watch in the Ro16.

EDIT: Oh what the hell let's talk about all the matchups.

herO vs Cure - Total toss up but I think maybe Cure?
Bbyong vs Solar - Bbyong should probably win. His TvZ is excellent and Solar hasn't been in top form.
Zest vs Hydra - No offense to Hydra but Zest should probably win 3-0 or 3-1
Inno vs Life - I really dunno. It's a shame these two meet so soon but my fandom says Life wins
Trap vs Flash - I think this series will be very close. Both seem to be recovering from slumps, and although Flash gets a lot of flack, I think he is pretty damn good these days. Even so, I'm picking Trap
Fantasy vs Rain - EU ladder god or no EU ladder god, Fantasy probably shouldn't beat Rain
Maru vs Patience - Patience earned his way into this tournament, but he does feel like the odd man out. Doesn't help that he has to play the best TvPer and probably best Terran in the world right now in Maru.
Dark vs Taeja - I have not a single clue what kind of shape Taeja is in right now. If his history in weekend events is anything to go on, I have to believe he'll bring his A game. Dark is a rising star and is one of the hottest Zergs in Korea at the moment, so this one should be super exciting and could go either way. It's hard for me to even pick one to root for. Although I think I want Dark to win slightly more, I will give the edge to Taeja just because of his experience.

Cure vs Bbyong - Cure should win this most likely. Bbyong doesn't look great in TvT and Cure is a jack of all trades.
Zest vs Life - Look at Blizzcon baby. Life
Trap vs Rain - Complete Toss(heh) up. Trap is really good and how much has Rain declined since joining mYi? dunno. Even still I respect Rain enough to give him the win here.
Maru vs Taeja - Criminal that this matchup can't be a grand final. I really have no idea, but I'll go with Maru

Cure vs Life - Probably Life?
Rain vs Maru - Should go Maru's way

Maru vs Life finals the dream

There are so many awesome scenarios. Provided herO/Zest/Rain don't win I will probably be happy.
