I can't wait to see Neeb fall to a Korean Terran again.

Can't fall to a Korean Terran if you already got knocked out by a Korean Zerg.

I'd say or a Polish Zerg but the last time Neeb lost to Nerchio was 05/15/2016.

The most suitable outcome of that group is for Neeb to beat Rogue with the most disgusting skytoss imaginable before losing to soO and getting crushed in the rematch with Rogue.

The most suitable outcome is for both Rogue and soO to beat mass oracles/skytoss and then mention in the winner interviews how they watched a recent series involving Neeb and a Canadian Zerg and how hilariously bad non-Korean Zerg players are who should spend more time practicing and less time whining.

Ah, the good old "light at the end of the tunnel is a train" scenario. Those who know despair, once knew hope. Those who know loss, once knew love.

I approve.

Can't agree more. Playing skytoss against Rogue is like suicide

Too many people treat GSL as though it is the holy grail. There are obviously significant reasons why foreigners have never performed well in the GSL compared to other tournaments which cannot reasonably be explained by talent alone. Also regarding Neeb's personality, there is a reason why the best players have no personality, because they commit every second of their day to Starcraft and nothing else.

Comments like this make me hope foreigners get brutally rekt at blizzcon.


This.


I actually only want neeb to get rekt, all others are fine if they surprise me.

(I don't dislike neeb it's just that his fans are annoying)

For someone who has accomplished so much, I don't think a bop out at blizzcon will do much to deter us fans from being.. fans. Delusion or otherwise. Sort of comes with the territory.. Stephano apologists were the worst when he tried his hand at GSL finally. It's human nature.
hi. big fan.

I miss them so much
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

If Gumiho was a circuit player I doubt he would have won 3 of 4 major events the way Neeb did. He did not make it out of group in GSL season 3. Lost to Zest in the rd of 8 at Homestory cup and did not play in SSL season 2 premier.

Neeb did have an overall better year.

Neeb is breathing rarefied air. No foreigner in the past would have been rated close to 8th. Naniwa and Lilbow were a distant 16 in their Blizzcons. Neeb for the 2nd time in a row will make the final 8 at Blizzcon and it is there he is likely to be stalled.

What makes the circuit exciting to me is that the top 3 players are all so young. Neeb-Elazer-Serral are all just 19. They can get even better.

There's a very real scenario where Neeb falls out in the group stage, though. Rogue is in insane form at the moment, I expect him to beat Neeb. But soO's ZvZ is immaculate. That means he's got a very good chance to beat Nerchio and could absolutely beat Rogue as well. If soO advances in first place, I don't see Neeb beating Rogue in the rematch. Rogue is that good.
