Also that Rogue will be ranked number 1 when it should be Inno herO I think has a good case for best Protoss atm, gvien his performance at the Super Tournament. Gumiho has been pretty unimpressive recently, I'd say he's probably the weakest Korean at Blizzcon. Rogue and Inno are very evenly matched, I could see either one as #1. | ||

Brilliance at quick weekenders (ST1/2, Shangai), but failure at the bigger/longer running events (he did poorly in Katowice, SSL premier, and only made GSL playoffs once). I don't expect anything special from him at blizzcon. And I know I'm bringing my bias up again, but I think Inno beats out Rogue. Yes Rogue beat him 3-2 at ST2, but he basically got 2 free maps against mech (I don't think any terran can beat Rogue with mech tbh). If Inno was smarter and played bio I think he edges out Rogue ever so slightly | ||

I have a hard time imagining him losing in the Ro16 at Blizzcon. Gumiho on the other hand I could see falling in the Ro16. On October 11 2017 04:49 Fango wrote: herO's results have a clear pattern.

If Inno was smarter and played bio I think he edges out Rogue ever so slightly Blizzcon is a short tournament, even though it does last slightly longer than a weekender. Agreed on the mech freewins, but Rogue's ZvBio is also insanely strong. I do tend to favor Inno slightly in bio TvZ though. That being said, with LBH + the current map pool favoring Zerg, I could understand an argument for Rogue at #1. I would say Dark's ZvBio is actually better than Rogue's, but Rogue has superior ZvP and ZvMech. Dark is the clear pick for #3 imo. | ||

Blizzcon is technically a weekender, but it's still on a much larger/longer level than the others. What makes herO better in weekenders, is the fact that the players haven't spent days/weeks practicing specific builds to play against him (like they would in a starleague). But until you reach the ro4 at blizzcon, it's almost the same as GSL in terms of how long you get to prepare (better than GSL in terms of group stages, as each group is played over 2 days). And also, like GSL, every single match is top priority for the players involved (lilbow isn't in this one), and they will dedicate most (if not all) practice hours to it. And although we haven't seen Dark vs mech recently, I'd like to think it's decent. During his match in GSL against Inno he wasn't at all prepared for the comp. | ||

Maybe TY has done something in some small online tournament lately, but as I don't pay attention to those, my last memory of him is failing to qualify for the super tournament. | ||

I just feel like TY has had an overall more solid year than Gumi, and neither of them did particularly well in the ST 2. | ||

It's an online tournament, sure, but I doubt any top 8 Koreans wants to lose 6-2 to a foreigner.

And to add to that Elazer's ZvT is his worst match-up by a significant margin. | ||

Looking solely at his versus Korean results just in 2017, his vP and vT matchups are relatively similar, and his vZ matchup is his worst matchup by far. Of course, this is inflated by him beating up on Keen and aLive, and he's only played 44 maps total against Korean Terrans (online and offline). This lines up with his results against foreigners, with his vP and vT having similar (if inflated) results with his vZ being his worst matchup by a large margin. | ||
