Zest vs San is basically "Thanks for coming San, try again next year". Maru somehow always gets Protoss players. ByuL vs Shine is ludicrous. sOs vs Solar is Solar's best chance to get into the tournament. TY vs Trap is pretty hype, as are Rogue vs Heart and Dear vs soO. And like every season, Global Seeds get outrageous opponents. | ||

Sure his one win in proleague did come from sOs himself, but it was against a botched immortal all-in that lacked the flare and decisiveness of PartinG. In the Bo.5 scenario, taking in recent match form, I don't actually see Solar having the upper hand. oh, and Rip Toodming and Sora. Not Snute, because he knows roach-bane well enough to not get slaughtered 3 zip. | ||

At any other time in Innovation's career, I'd probably have said Snute was absolutely screwed, but Innovation is looking way weaker than before. Of course, he's still way favored here, but it could be a lot worse for Snute. | ||

Early game and early-midgame can be a bit of a vulnerable time for him against Zerg, and Snute, while known more for passive macro play, is certainly not loathe to mix things up. Furthermore, I think they're even in the very lategame, especially considering Zerg's slight advantage in the matchup at that stage of the game. | ||

Just a quick reminder that Snute dropped out of WCS Premier by losing to Kelazhur. | ||

WCS is, in terms of schedule, a tad bit slower than SSL, or in fact both Starleagues in Korea. Unless Snute goes full foreigner domination mode and makes it to the finals and wins, he'll have plenty of time for his challenger match. | ||

Nah it's hard to argue for anyone but SKT when they've gone undefeated in PL (with two players undefeated as well) and have a two time consecutive SSL finalist as well as rhe reigning champion | ||

So regarding this sorcery is not completely off the table but its not overall random  | ||

July 10th: WTF Actually Rain vs. Toodming WTF EDIT: MacSed said during his stream today that Chinese clubs were cancelling player trips to Korea because of the MERS outbreak. iG has cancelled travelling plans, and from what he knows, Zenith of Origin has done the same. So Toodming is probably gonna forfeit. | ||
