Elazer got there of the back of ZvZ, and meeting a foreigner in the ro8. Such a situation is unlikely to occur for kela. He has a group with Dark, herO, and Elazer. And I don't think we're gonna get a foreigner vs foreigner ro8 match again, unless serral gets 1st in his group (possible) | ||

If Kela places first, he will have defeated Dark and herO, meaning he would probably then become the favorite to win Blizzcon. Beating Serral at that point would be a mere formality. Of course, there is a monstrously powerful Dark-shaped obstacle blocking that path. | ||

My prediction: #15 Major (lol foreigner terrans) #14 True #13 Nerchio #12 Elazer #11 Snute #10 Gumiho #9 Serral #8 TY #7 Neeb #6 herO #5 soO #4 Dark #3 Stats #2 Innovation #1 Rogue Foreign terrans suck, the ranking of foreign zergs is hard to call but its certainly #15-#10. Korean terrans also suck nowadays so Gumiho and TY are quite low. Neeb can hang around with the good koreans but not with the best. Top 3 is Stats, Inno and Rogue, but i'm not sure in which order. That's not a prediction that is a ranking. | ||

If Kela places first, he can beat Serral in the ro8. How in the hell is that going to happen? He's going to beat Dark and then Hero? He will go out 0-2. In the event he was to come out with a freakish win over Dark much like Showtime's shocking victory over Byun in group last year he will lose to Hero in the winner's match and face Dark again in the decider. No chance! | ||

Well, according to Catz, Kela is favoured to win Blizzcon, and if not him, then herO. So, I think getting out of the groups should be easy, and then he'll face herO in the finals. | ||

Probably more likely than Serral beating INno and GuMi. | ||

Neeb has a modest chance of beating one of soO/Rogue, though I would be surprised if he managed to beat both of them. Serral has the best chance of any foreigner in the opening match, I'd give him around 50/50 against Gumiho, more if Gumi goes bio. But he's got no chance against Inno. | ||

It's hard to judge his PvZ, honestly. He hasn't played a single korean zerg offline all year. But yeah, I think the uncertainty raises it from 'yeah not happening' to 'probably not, but hard to say'. Especially because Nerchio beating soO isn't impossible either. [although he's not favored - probably 30/70 in my eyes] | ||

One of you was fiercely defending on one of the corner islands! HG was quite talented indeed. Played beautifully. And he won 2-0 against HOT-Forever at a WCG finals playoff game. | ||

If he wins with Dark.... He will more likely face Elazer in the winners match. So Elazer is going to beat Hero? Hero is probably the 4th best player or better in the world now. He is in better form right now than Stats. | ||

If Neeb loses to Rogue and SoO beats Nerchio Neeb plays Nerchio in the losers match and then if he wins plays the loser of the winners match. Based on recent form that would likely be SoO. The way Rogue is playing hardly anybody can beat him. Poor Nerchio has no chance in that group. Neeb has the advantage of preparing for one race in group. | ||

In Master's coliseum 2 TY and stats were the last ones in their group with 2-6 map records. Rogue and Hero were in the finals of super tournament, Dark is going deep in every tournament he plays and Innovation is super solid . | ||

Nah...HerO is like worse than a lot of foreigners right now. He's easy to beat (not even in the top 100 on aligulac). However, herO just avenged his loss to Rogue in the Master's Colosseum. But if Elazer can win against the best foreign Protoss, Neeb,......in the Nydus Open 2 Ro4 on May 13, 2017, then he can win against herO. Also, Elazer's wins against Protoss number at 666, so I don't think there's any question about him beating herO. But in all seriousness, Elazer's won a number of games against top level Protoss. A lot of them are online matches, sure, but he's beaten players like Classic, Zest, and Stats. So I think he does stand a chance--even if herO is the favourite right now.

I think what I'm worried about is if Rogue beats Neeb and then loses to soO in the Winner's match. Neeb would have to play Rogue again. That being said, I'm reasonably confident about Neeb being able to beat soO. Rogue is definitely the harder threat, but it is tough to maintain form from one tournament to another--especially with the large number of replays that Neeb can use to study Rogue whereas Rogue can only study Neeb playing against worse Zergs. | ||
