Yeah I think he feared the two terran monsters. But soO would'have eat him anyway.

Byul is nowhere near Dark who just had an amazing 2016 year whereas Byul couldn't made a single top 8. Sure they both made top 4 at IEM but Dark beat Byun and lost 2-3 to Inno when Byul went 3-3 against classic and beat soO. Byul is much closer to soO than to Dark. Did you see alive group ? Sure he qualified, but he looked so weak. He is nothing to soO and to the group. Group A is strong but there is two clear favourite TY and Stats and Byul could possibly upset one of them alive is 99% dead if he doesn't show more than last time. Groupe B is madness it could very well have been the top 4. Sure Dark and Inno are miles ahead but they could lose to Classic and Dark and it would not be that surprising | ||

You guys also have to notice it's all best of 3, which means nobody is unbeatable. Even Soo or Classic can 2-0 Innovation or Dark not surprisingly. It's true that upsets can very much happen in a Bo3, much more so than in a Bo5/Bo7. Still, the Koreans believe (rightfully so) that GSL is the hardest and most prestigious tournament of them all, and will be preparing for that accordingly. To use INnoVation as an example, he loses to baneling busts/onebase ravagers/assorted cheese/etc, a surprising amount online, far more than you'd expect from a player of his caliber. But in his GSL group, he completely shut down Losira's allin with five bunkers the first game, and some insane splitting stutterstep kiting the second. The pros hold back quite a bit in tournaments they don't think are important, especially with regard to mentality and preparing specifically for their opponent on specific maps. But nobody will hold back at GSL. GSL is the reason they held back at the smaller tournaments. I'm expecting some awesome games from Group B, especially when Dark and Inno go all-out in the winner's match. | ||

Given the slim pickings of 2017, I think they're one of the few other indicators we have of the current form of players besides gsl. Factoring those in, based on recent results (since patch 3.8) I'd say ByuL, Dark, and soO are not far apart at all. Dark still deserves the title of best Zerg for sure, but he's not ridiculously ahead of the rest of the pack. Frankly, even though he still holds the Zerg throne and was the only one worth a damn in 2016, I still think he's a bit overrated. I could easily see ByuL or soO dethroning him in the future considering they've both had higher peaks in the past (though that was in HotS). I think group A is more of a toss-up than it seems. aLive has been looking legit lately and TY/Stats are not clear favorites at all. | ||

Is that supposed to go against what I said ? Since 22nov and the new patch aLive is 107-108 in games and 42-39 in matches against koreans. soO is 88-66 (and that included him getting trashed by Inno) and 32-20 that is not close. aLive is average and given his recent offline showing I would say at best.

I'm not saying he is bad, I'm just saying he is no Dark. I'm ready to ban bet that aLive won't make it out of his group | ||

I could easily see ByuL or soO dethroning him in the future considering they've both had higher peaks in the past (though that was in HotS). Dark's ZvZ is not so great, yeah, but his ZvT is easily a tier above ByuL and soO. Haven't seen much of his ZvP lately, but Classic complains about how much he gets beat by Dark, and Dark chose Classic in group selection so I'm guessing it's pretty good. All three Zergs have played INnoVation recently (and lost), but Dark was the only one who made every game look competitive. Inno didn't roflstomp soO and ByuL, but their games weren't close either. Whereas with Dark, Inno was winning favorable maps and losing unfavorable ones. Given that, I'd say the gap between Dark and the other top Zergs is still significant. Not nearly as huge as it was in 2016, ofc, but he's not really in danger of losing his throne atm. | ||
