Speaking of soO and sOs, they drew some beatable opponents. will definitely try to watch the games | ||

On the other side, i can't tell how much i want to see Classic vs TY! Dark vs Leenock also will be a very entertaining match, since booth of them loves early pools. At the end of the day, i am predicting a KeeN-Stats-Dark-TY final four, and Stats-Dark final with Stats winning. | ||

Also there's no way Rogue or Maru would deny sOs a blizzcon spot right? I really think this comes down to soO vs sOs for it. | ||

Bunny magically wins both of his TvZ matchups so that Classic can make it to grand finals without playing a PvZ. After which he will lose to Maru/Rogue or defeat Stats. Long shot I know, but im sticking to it. | ||

Choosing to do an inferior build isn't matchfixing. Usually they'll still try to win the game, they're just less likely to. Some players have said they value entertaining over winning and do this often. And in round robin groups once players are already guaranteed to win the group, they'll sometimes do stupid builds. It's not fixing unless they intentionally arrange to lose the game. And even if they did it's impossible to prove usually. | ||

I also feel that Maru is the main threat with and best user of said proxy playstyle, and that's why I predict Classic to go down to Maru if he faces him in the finals. TY is no slouch though, and if he has adopted Proxy as his bread and butter go-to for every game now, you may be right. | ||

Which tournament was that, I think I missed it. I haven't seen TY proxy much, which is where my assumption came from. Hopefully Classic has spent time learning how to stop the proxies then! | ||

Dark has had much better form this year so he could finally claim his third premier tournament win, but it's also Dark, and he's a Kong, so it's just as likely sOs wins. | ||

According to Jin Air house, he's not a diligent practicer at all except when he prepares for top tier tournaments like GSL code S or tournaments with huge price of money like WESG, and Blizzcon. He becomes a lazy harp seal when he plays unimportant tournaments for him. | ||

That would give sOs a pretty doable path to the finals with Keen -> Maru/Rogue -> probably Stats. | ||

Also I am pretty sure sOs has ok odds against Stats. No one player favored over the other. | ||

He just made finals in the Onpoong Masters (lost to Dark 5-3) while beating TY, Classic, Zest, and Innovation to get there. Impact is pretty manageable, Stats and Trap are okay opponents for him in the past - Solar vs. Stats is 35-37 in games. Best $O$/Maru/Rogue/Keen? That’s a tall order, but Maru and Rogue aren’t playing for anything. Keen won’t make it this far. sOs is intensely dangerous, and that’d be a fun series to watch. | ||

The thing about Solar is that he tends to choke a lot offline. | ||

Simillar stuff is happening also in F1, when a driver let other driver from same team ahead when they are in need of points. Something simillar may happen also here. Yes I'm afraid of this too hope Blizzard is watching very careful for potential match fixing and in regards to your Formula 1 comparison, the thing is in F1 it is 100% legal and part of strategy for winning the drivers championship while also still attaining the same number of points in the constructors championship and if you know anything about F1 the major teams Ferrari, Mercedes and Red Bull all have number 1 drivers that hold precedence over the other this is the case for all teams in fact just the scenario you described above tends to only happen with teams in contention so they are different but the same in general practice just one is legal and one is not. | ||
