People don't expect me to beat Dark. | ||

Group C at Blizzcon is Stats, Has, Showtime and either Dark or Rogue. Group D at Blizzcon is Classic, Nerchio, Special, and either TY or Rogue. 1-3 are now locked in, Dark is the only one who can climb higher from within the top 8. If he wins the SF, he doesn't gain anything, if he wins overall, he moves up to 4th. Therefore, there are only 2 scenarios for 1-7, and only two options for 8th. | ||

Actually TY is locked 4th, he just for some reason does not have the 225 points for ST2 in the standings on liquipedia. So Dark can only get 5th at best | ||

He and Maru only got the points if they won their first match. Because TY didn't, he doesn't get any points from ST. | ||

The principle is that you need to earn all the points you get- TY's method of qualification already gave him points, so he doesn't also earn the points that the other earned through the qualifying bracket. If he won a match in ST, he would have earned his place there and therefore would get the full point score (like Maru did). It's a very niche rule because usually GSL finalists are able to win in the first round anyway. | ||

I guess foreigner fans can find solace in the fact that if Dark wins Neeb gets Zest instead of TY in his group. But Zest sometimes plays up to his skill ceiling so while it's more comforting to get him it doesn't really promise anything. You could still get bopped. | ||

Neeb gets TY- at least it's someone he's had lots of experience practising for and who he's played against on the biggest stage. Hopefully he'll iron out the issues that lost him the GSL semifinals. If he does, Lambo shouldn't be a challenge for him and he should be able to make the Ro8. | ||
