Great games right from the start!

Wow that bracket is super stacked.
Inno vs Rogue the highlight match of the Ro16, reminds me of IEM when Inno vs Life was the first round

Fuck ByuN is against either Maru or Stats?
I guess it's because he doesn't have a lot of wcs points?

Looks like a random draw to me? There's no seeding system accounting for 2017 or 2018 results where soO should end up facing the GSL champion.
|
But what if  Seed meets himself in the finals?
|
Damn, Seed good enough to get 2 spots on the bracket. ez win
|
Hmm, Rogue might be on his way to another big win. Bogus seems to be hibernating and he'll eat Zest/herO in the next round. soO is dehd if he gets Maru, think he'll win a rematch against Stats though
|
Seems like Dark got a free road to the finals...
Where he will lose
|
This bracket is beyond stacked. Can't wait for this.
Go GumiGOD
|
Of all match-ups to get we get TRUE vs Trust? Incredible.

Wonder if TRUE will forfeit GSL, this looks like a doable Ro4 for him

Yeah after I posted I saw Trust being against TRUE so it's probably random since they both have very few points.
Unlucky for ByuN, is he against GSL winner or runner-up?
I feel like he has a good shot against Stats, he had a good TvP run recently, whereas Maru will be on fire after winning GSL.

So, uh, technically, it's like soO being in the GSL finals as he will play the champion  (as usual)

I heard that TRUE can't play in GSL unless he gave up playing in WCS Circuit.
So, did he make the decision already?

It sounds like he can't play in GSL proper. The super-tournament is probably still fine?

It's still really weird though, why would you draw "gsl 1st/2nd" instead of just maru/stats.

To give the illusion that they had some kind of seeding

Well, soO ended up facing quite some GSL champions. Especially just before they became one

Except the first one

i was like, Seed's playing again?

Stacked bracket except for Trust vs.True that is the biggest joke matchup of the bracket but clearly it seems like a random draw still Byun and SoO are gonna have a hard time regardless of opponent while a couple 500 something WCS points players who will most certainly will not make it to Blizzcon get a first round match but still a very exciting and stacked tournament.

But he needs to play either Maru, sOs, soO or Classic in the semis before that right?

Now we know why SoO lost to Stat it was so he could smack Maru here just so we all agree he lost his one opportunity at a GSL championship.
And then he lose to Rogue in the final or something.

Yeah.... I read the bracket wrong.
Free road to the semis is what I meant.
|
Well at least I get to see the soO vs Maru matchup I wanted after all.
|
I actually think soO could win against Maru. Maru probably has relaxed after winning, and he has been practicing against protoss rather than zerg. Whereas soO has had plenty of time to get mad and practice. Yes, I'm biased. That's my biased interpretation.
