Yeah I could see either Elazer, Snute or Nerchio winning this.

A good tourney for EU zergs.

Either one of those 3 or MLord. If he doesn't choke, I think he can beat anyone in the tournament.

He's Mongolia's greatest player, everyone knows him (this is a joke because he's the only Mongolian SC2 player).


Well u are wrong, he isnt the only player, we have more players, but Sioras is the best one.

Its funny/sad that a tournament with such a big prize pool has such a weak line up. Insanely boring games to come, not worht watching tbh. But im really hype for PL and GSL!
WCS is a shitty joke, with racist rules. Support players who deserves it instead of foreigner scrubs who dont work half as much as koreans. JUN TAEYANG IS THE BEST <3

This tournament is also important for WCS Spring.
WCS Standings invites are based on points on April 11th so this is the only tournament before then. Winner will get enough points for top 8


That is actually quite big, that makes this tournament a lot more important than I thought it was. Would love to see a seperate analysis of the potential ranking shifts.

There's not much. To boil it down into likely events- if MarineLorD makes 2nd, he gets the spot. If not and Has gets top 8, he gets the stop. If not and MarineLorD (or iA, causing a potential tiebreaker) gets Ro4, they get the spot.

Anyone else can get the spot if they get #1 (or, in the case of quite a few people) #2, but the chances of seeing anyone outside of MarineLorD/Elazer/Snute/PtitDrogo/Nerchio in the finals is insignificant.

When you note that Has is the favorite in his qualifier and iAsonu is probably not making top 4, the only significant data gained from this is 'MarineLorD needs to perform here or at Regionals'.

Maybe, you don't know one thing. One day after the tournament, there will be another minitournament with prize pool 12k USD, where some selected (not the best) Koreans will play against the foreign winners of the tournament. I hope, these matches will be interesting, as I expect that players like Snute can actually beat Koreans (and even more when these are not the top ones). There will be ByuN and ByuL, Stork and a few others. At least that.

Absolutely going to tune in; I'm really looking forward to seeing the matches.

Well.. if the production holds up. China seems scary for production, lately.

Well, I would like to tune in, but not for the group with 4 Zergs and not while Proleague / GSL runs at the same time. So I guess Thursday is the only option. But I will definitely tune in for the showmatch with the Koreans (on Sunday or Monday?). I just hope, the last two Koreans announced will be true stars and not some B-line up. But I am definitely not complaining about ByuN and DRG.

Perfect ... and as I was saying, I am already happy with ByuN and DRG. Although they are not the top stars, they are stars enough for me.
