In recent years the spotlight has moved off you to other big players like neeb and serral, and I think you and the team liquid sponsership are underappreciated. I'm still your fan, I think your group isn't that bad and you will get out. As for the other groups, group B is a fan favorite group. I think it's a group where a lot of people will be disappointed whoever doesn't make it out. If neeb makes it out we will probably have more balance whining from even though neeb is going to be so practiced in this matchup. In group C I how hero gets out because of the little protoss representation. He should get out, it's the easiest group imo otherwise. And group D is the group of death. Not sure what will happen, any predictions? Gumiho + Inno is my safe prediction Not to say that I have no faith in Serral, cuz him making it out would be the bomb | ||

It's not about how many races you have to play against, it's about how good you are in that matchup. Granted Solar and TY both had 2 terrans in their group and finshed first place but my point still stands Yep but classic sucks against zerg... can't say the same for neeb  | ||

TY's latest form isn't close to that of the beginning of the year (same goes for soO I think), so Snute has a chance in group A. Stats is going to be first there. A lot can happen in ZvZ, so Nercho has a small chance, we do remember what happened last year in a group with 3 zergs. Unlike herO, Neeb is the master of the macro and late game, so it will be tough for Rouge. Won't be surprised if Neeb will be first in that group, but in that group everything can happen with 3 zergs. Dark will probably take group C, but even though herO's chances aren't smaller then Elazer's, Elazer's ZvP is his strongest match-up, so I won't be surprised if Elazer will make it second out of that group. If I had to bet then its Gumiho out of group D rather then Serral. But Serral has a chance. He beat Byun on the Korean server yesterday, so its not like his ZvT is garbage. Innovation will make first out of this group, and among those who will finish first I think its the safest bet. The chances of the foreigners aren't that high, but I do see 2 of them in the RO8, and Neeb can even take his group I think. Neeb and 1 of Snute, Elazer, Serral, or Nerchio (in the order from the highest to the lowest chances). | ||

Who wins when a Master of late game PvZ (Neeb) meets a Master of late game ZvP (Rogue)? the won who pulls off a more successful Guerrilla warfare aka who can harass better. The battle between an Unstoppable force (Rogue) and an Immovable object (Neeb) | ||

I think Stephano's #1 is from before Aligulac actually went live but their back log of games is pretty good | ||
