Anyone know the reasoning for only having three maps in the map pool? Why not let players decide the maps with vetoes?

I assume it's faster this way and allows the organizers to sway the racial distribution/balance in their desired way.

Hoping that all the 7 competing players can qualify. It'd make a more tense tournament that way.

I just noticed that the text explaining the rules for the qualifiers and the brackets of the qualifiers are not the same. There is a lower bracket shown while the text says single elimination until round of 4.

Maru and TY will not be participating in qualifier, because they are already qualified from GSL final

As for participants in the qualifier, I assume it's whoever shows up

TY has shown he probably the only person in the world who can stop maru and make it competitive. that last tournament went to game 7. if maru and ty played that GSL finals 10 times, i think TY could've won 30%-40%. whereas zest and gumiho were just straight up smashed. so this means that if TY gets sniped before he faces maru, then maru is basically gonna win another

I would say Stats at least has a chance

Apparently SortOf is the only foreigner entering so I doubt it.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Maru only goes 100% in GSL, more specifically GSL playoffs. In the other supertournament and GSL vs the World he was good but not the best. I'd be very surprised if Maru wins here.

First they said only Rogue could do it, then they said only Stats, now only TY.

People judge skill from 1 particular match way too heavily.

At least it isn't a racial thing. You have one zerg, one protoss and one terran as potential rivals.

Honestly, in GSL playoffs, I think the only protoss this year to give Maru a run for his money was sOs. Rogue, Dark, and TY are the others who gave him a genuinely difficult time. I think any of these four players could still give him a close series, but I think sOs might have dropped off a little since then, and Rogue's performance level is totally unpredictable, and Dark may or may not have dropped off a touch in ZvT also. It might be a little deceptive to see that he scored the same vs Dark as he did vs Stats, because Maru was leagues ahead of Stats in that final, whereas Dark took him to the edge of his skill at times.

In Super Tournament, though, it's a different story. I expect a lot of players can be a threat to Maru here, including Stats and Classic, who I think he'd still completely destroy in a Code S playoffs series. I'm sure Maru will be playing to win, but I don't expect him to be at full strength. He could even get upset by someone totally unexpected.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maru bombs out in the first round, no way he puts effort practicing for this between a code S championship and Blizzcon.

The only reason sOs might pose a threat to Maru is probably because they're teammates, if he's a non-JAGW player he's gonna be destroyed by Maru even harder than Zest.

I actually am not sure about this. sOs naturally has the ability to throw anyone off center with unexpected play, but it could be that this was enhanced by them being teammates. It's just hard to say how much this actually influenced things. Whatever team he was on, sOs would have known that he had to get a huge early game advantage or he'd be dead. When it comes to taking down a superior opponent, I'd prefer sOs's ability to come up with something clever over anything Zest has shown us recently.
