the specific arrangement of Intel and the IOC where IEM get to use Olympic logo but everyone still has to tiptoe around ever clarifying how this event actually relates to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics is fascinating and hilarious

Really? Wouldn't Serral or Elazer be the most dangerous opponents just by virtue of being the stronger players of the foreign scene overall? I don't recall sOs showing a particular weakness to PvP currently, or DnS showing a particular proficiency in the match-up.

I just think that DnS being in Korea makes it so that he will be able to prepare for sOs the best. They (the players in the house) have many Korean friends like Patience and Stats who can give them sOs replays. DnS probably plays against sOs quite often himself on the ladder and in a mirror matchup a lot can happen..

Serral and Elazer won't know what hit them when they play sOs since they don't know the Korean meta as well.

But yeah overall Serral and Elazer are better, so maybe you are right. Still, I think sOs is a beast vs zerg, while Classic slapped sOs around earlier.


Classic's the best player in the world right now. He can slap around anyone he cares to.


sOs and Zest are still the only players beating Classic right now. No Z or T is beating him (consistantly) until the patch


They beat him once. I'd still consider Classic favoured against them. I think PvZ is Classic's weakest match-up (if only by a little) and that soO or Dark stand a better chance against him than sOs or Zest, but his winrate is still 80% across the board post-4.0.


In Pyeongchang, Zest>sOs>Classic. In Katowice, Classic>sOs/Zest.

Given how hard Classic crushed Dark (4-1) and Maru (3-0) in an actual premier event, I don't see how anyone can favour a zerg or terran to beat him


He seems to lose maps regularly in many of his series against Zerg, which isn't the case for his PvTs and PvPs (in fact if you exclude a bunch of foreign Zergs he farmed his win rate against Zerg is significantly worse than his other match-ups). And his series against Dark while quite a strong showing from him did involve an element of trickery which means I see Zerg doing ok against him in the future--game 1 he went for storm drop and lost to a roach hydra push, game 2 Dark went for the gold, and Classic hid two gates in Dark's main punishing him with a bunch of gateway stuff, game 3 was a adept/sentry/immortal push, and game 4 was won off mass gateway, and Classic sneaking units out of his main unseen with a warp prism.

I do think his PvZ is extremely strong, and he's probably favoured against any Zerg, but I do think that it is a tad less dominant than his other match-ups.

Not first, I think Taekwondo or badmington was first. Anyway, this tournament should be decided between Serral, Sos, Elazer and Major.

First unofficial olympic video game/esport?

Yes.

They had a show with Mike Morhaime, Incontrol and others about it.

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I'm really disappointed that there's no Bronze Medal match, makes it feel very un-Olympic

Hope we can see sOs pulling out all kinds of tricks now that he's in the main event.

So many of my favorite players this tournament, even stephano made it wow. and of the koreans i like only sOs, soo and hero more then zest. And of foreigners only snute is missing 8(.

Edit:

These types of european qualifiers divided by country or region are good for having different nationalities for the fans but kinda feel bad for some players, like in this case snute and uthermal having to each fight for 1 spot with serral and elazer, respectively. Happened to snute in wecg qualifier also: norway and fighting for one spot with finland, while denmark had 1, and russia and ucraine had 2 each...

Lol at stephano getting through the african qualifiers 8)

The only way I see a non sOs vs Zest finals is DnS actually upsetting sOs.. And given DnS recent performances in korea that wouldn't be such an upset (+ it's PvP).

Zest & sOs playing foreign zergs right after the Hydralisk nerf.. Can't see them lose, especially in a Bo5.
Stats is the best player of LotV.

It turns out that SC2 is actually a winter sport... Who knew ?
Anyways, can't wait to see who between Zest and sOs will be our first Olympic champion.

No WCS points for the event. The seeding is a bit off as usual. Probably should be:

Special/Pandabearme – Demilove
Probe – Stephano
Sos - DNS
Kelazhur – Heromarine
Serial –Nice
Cham/Scarlett - Bly
Zest - Time
Elazer - Eggz
