Also, you think Maru will make the finals? He's done even worse than Zest. Not to mention PvT is his LotV worst matchup. I wouldn't bet that one tbh :D I am all for shouting KESPAAAA and hyping the korean overlords, but it's still sc2 and not bw. (and even in BW Jaedong lost to a foreigner at WCG) So winning games and maybe even a set is doable, i don't think anyone will make it out of the groups though. | ||

Most people would consider Pet to have 0.1% chance of winning. | ||

Neeb should get out of the group, but not when the group consists of Zest, ByuN and Rogue :-)) No chance. Nerchio could get of any average random Korean group. E.g. group B. But he has no chance against Maru (after he has beaten him in ShoutCraft, Maru will take him seriously) and Patience and Classic will fight for their BlizzCon life ... Without this special motivation, I would say, Nerchio could beat one of them, but not in a situation, when everything is on the line for them. | ||

I like how you slam group B as an "average" Korean group, which, more than the others groups, it kind of is. The question for me is what kind of game will Zest and Rogue bring. Zest may have had a few bad months, but before that, he was practically invincible. But rogue, on the other hand, has only a ro16 GSL placement this year, and even his proleague is only 10th. So will they bring their a game? Or will they underestimate Neeb as you said they would have underestimated Nerchio? If Zest and Rogue were playing at tip top level, the yeah, Neeb doesn't really stand a chance. But if they don't being their best form, then he might win or at least upset one. For Nerchio, I think if he can play patience, then he has a chance. Patience is wierd because he somehow manages to win with rather ugly games. And the ugly games are where foreigners and Koreans are more similar because people don't play perfect in those games. | ||

Also Neeb is quite well known on Korea and on the ladder, i doubt they will not prepare for him. Nerchio and MLord maybe, although Dark did say he looked at the Shoutcraft games so other probably have. | ||

Zest had bad results, but I do not think, he lost all his skills from the past. It is time for him to get back to the top. Rogue for me is an amazing player, who always surprises and beats the best opponents, against whom nobody gives him any chance. I think, he is the second best Zerg in the world and he is capable to beat the best Zerg in the world. Capable to beat Zest, capable to beat ByuN. He is not good in winning a weekend tournament with many matches, but in the short series, he is the master and I hope, he will make it out of the group. Under normal circumstances, I would say, Nerchio could beat both Classic and Patience. But if he does, they are out of BlizzCon. Patience has just beaten sOs 2:0, who was fighting for his BlizzCon life. After sOs demolished herO and MyungSiK. He must be seriously good now. I know, it was PvP and this will be PvZ but I still cannot imagine an upset here. | ||

Classic almost beat dark in SSL semifinals in one of the closest PvZs I've ever seen. Classic is easily top 2 maybe number 1 PvZer in Korea. Patience maybe, I think he's a bit overrated recently. He got a lot of wins against top players but i think a lot of it was luck (TY throwing games to get a better seed, Zest being terrible etc). But still an SSl ro4 is a great result. | ||

So that excuse doesn't work. | ||
