Day 3 of the WCS Global Finals concluded with the draw of the quarterfinal bracket, taking place on Friday, November 2nd, in Anaheim.

(Wiki)2018 WCS Global Finals


In one of the more confusing draws this writer remembers, (T)Maru and (Z)Serral were placed into their own pot and, naturally, drawn on opposite sides of the bracket, setting up a potential grand finals between the two. This was explained due to the WCS points standings featuring into the draw.

The second pot was filled with the remaining group winners, (P)Stats and (Z)Rogue.

The rest of the qualifiers were then not drawn but seeded into the bracket on WCS points and which group they advanced from, leaving us with this bracket.

I guess serral will practice with lambo and special will practice with showtime, or how will they practice before the matches?

I don't really see Dark or Rogue taking down Serral. TY is a possibility though. On the other side, I think there's a solid possibility of Special in the ro4 2 years in a row. Stats is still favored, though. And finally that leaves Maru vs sOs, where if we go by recent results, there's an extremely close match there. I'm super hyped for this.

Very good bracket, looking forward for each of these matches. The lover half is a bit heavier, the upper half is dicier, should be some exciting games.

The lover half is always the best half.

In case you are wondering, they used a random drawing to decide which half of the bracket group winners are seeded into. It is a change players were notified before the event.

Well, it is quite funny they set up Serral and Maru in the opposite brackets, although I doubt anyone will complain.

I agree with what Artosis said on the cast in a sense that everyone does have a chance to get to the finals technically, even though there are clear favorites in Maru, Serral, Rogue etc.

Considering some of the most interesting matches, sOs could be a strong opposition against Maru, considering his victory over the Terran Titan in ST2 this year. Also looking forward to Dark vs Serral, personally hoping for the former SKT Zerg to take it this time, as a revenge for GSL vs The World.

With all that said, oh man this Rogue vs TY series is gonna be absolutely insane.

Dark vs Serral rematch, I like it.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I hate that I can't watch Maru v sOs, if I do I know sOs will get wrecked, but here's to hoping my cursed gaze being averted allows sOs to get the win and claim BlizzCon!
