I would have preferred proleague format where team actually means something.

The only drama to the event would be over who Team Korea sent out first for the all kill format.

Foreigner vs korea would be hilarious in an allkill format. Maru could easily go first and get an AK. He basically does it every WeSG anyway.

I mean there is a chance but its slim.

Rogue, Dark, and Classic are all beatable. I'd favour him over Classic and give him 50/50 against Rogue.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Definitely not the most exciting bracket :/

Hoping for Serral to own some koreans and for Has' games to trigger people :D

Also I hope Neeb and Showtime do better than I expect against hard opponents

Initial thoughts

Neeb and ShoWTimE both have first round upset potential, but don't be surprised if it's two foreigners in the Ro8.

That being said, SpeCial has semifinals potential, and I wouldn't be shocked by Serral making the finals.

Very, very, very good bracket for Serral. Only one terran (and it's not as scary as GuMi/TY would be) and then Rogue & Classic most likely.

What an underwhelming format considering the event name... Really thought it would be foreigner vs Korean, at least in the first round.
So hopefully Innovation vs. Maru in the finals.

Soo got this.

As so often, he tears through the bracket and bops his opponents. In the finals we will ascent to his true from, at last.

what i like about this layout is that there is more flexibility in possibilities. Korean vs Korean, Foreigner vs Foreigner, Korean vs Foreigner finals.

This deserves a Bo3 or even Bo1 losers bracket at least! And it's not really a "vs." Just like others stated. -- That said, still gonna watch the s*** out of it of course :D

this tournament is going to be super intense. it feels much like a BlizzCon rehearsal to me. I predict Serral making it to the finals where he will be defeated by Maru.

How is this a good bracket for Serral? He's going to face Inno/Rogue, two of the best players in the world and both superior to him, very likely not gonna face any Protoss players (Has, Showtime are easy prey, Zest and Classic suck in PVZ, while Stats and Neeb both in slump), and all Zergs on this side of the bracket either have excellent ZVZ (Rogue and Dark) or have recently had good results against him (Scarlett came close at Valencia). Basically besides his first-round opponent nothing works in favor of Serral this time.

I'm not too optimistic about inno making it past rogue unless rogue is really as bad as he looks on stream lately vs mech. And even then, inno vs. maru would be a slaughter seeing how inno's tvt has looked really shakey lately with the exception of one good showing at ravenz cup.

Why do people keep mentioning inno. He's proven time and time again that he's very very vulnerable against foreigners. Even back in Acer days his record Vs foreigners were relatively bad compared to ppl like taeja or MMA despite his reputation. In HSC he also lost to lambo and snute, and settle in way better form than those 2 ATM.

I would give rogue way better chance at beating serral than inno simply because I don't think inno is ever going to out apm serral, and he doesn't quite have the bag of tricks that rogue has.

idk man they might be mentioning him because regardless of his current form he's an unarguable top 3 player of all time

also i'm a big fan and defender of foreigners, but the sentence "i don't think inno is ever going to out apm serral" is one of the most misguided and faulty arguments ever posted on this forum lol, for so many reasons. "out APM"? what does that even mean? i'd put serral and innovation in the same ballpark in terms of their current form, it would be a fantastic match. but to say that it's unlikely for innovation to beat serral is truly out there

btw, inno may not have a lot of "tricks" in the current meta, but he uses whatever he thinks is strong. he used to 2 rax foreigners into oblivion over and over on online cups just to save himself time. he invented the hellbat meta. iirc he was also one of the terrans pushing speed banshee openings. he's not a one-dimensional player by any means, he just believes in the power of macro

INnoVation is 31-4 against non-Koreans this year. If you look at since April 1st, he's 18-1.

Yeah...I don't think Inno needs "tricks" to beat Serral.

Yeah I really wish Korean tournaments didn't always start between like 1 and 3 on the east coast. Can never watch anything live (unless they are considerate and start a few hours before or after that time slot), and watching from VOD just isn't nearly as exciting. Really upset this time because I'm really hyped for this tournament.
