This is insane. Not sure it could be any more epic.

I hope the polish players and Fantasy can do well, but damn it will be hard!

Heromaine got fucked, wtf how does that happen, RIP.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

ya it's pretty brutal. Heromarine vs sOs and Dear vs Leenock as opposed to Inzane vs HateMe and Bratok vs Krr. Not exactly balanced

The world is not ready for sOs vs Heromarine 2.0. Recovery from 1.0 has been so rough Blizzard is still unsure whether to announce the WCS system for 2019 before 2025.

Ooph, the second round matchup vs herO is unlucky Scarlett, but you got this .

Very nice turnout didn't expect my boy Bomber but hope he does well. Sucks he's against Gumiho the first round.

Also sOs being here gives us a chance to revive his meme if he wins

Oh man. I really like Probe and think hes coming up into his own, but creator first matchup and then if he wins that hes vs classic? Fookin ouch.

In other news, we get a fresh look at Heromarine. I really think he played below his level vs sOs in worlds, hoping the rematch goes well.
Quick, think of some pithy cliche and toss it here

Wonder if every game in the first round of the first bracket is going to be a 2-0, looks absolutely brutal.

With what Rail showed in WCS Winter, I'm mildly optimistic about his chances here.

I think Solar is gonna get eliminated honestly.

His ZvP and ZvT are super good but there’s a really good chance he’s going to catch Lambo and Elazer in ZvZ, both of which I think he loses.

CIS (January 16-20)

Group A

Gambit Esports vs. Syman Gaming

i think sos is probably fine against terran. losing to maru and innovation isn't a big deal to anyone except serral, and losing 2-1 to bunny isn't really the end of the world either. he also wrecked maru twice in the last quarter of 2018.

kind of wish TL would sticky a help thread about sample size in statistics. too many people throwing around meaningless handfuls of games like it's real analysis

You cannot judge the form of sOs by his games against Maru(no matter the result). Team games were always tricky in KeSPA teams because the players know each other very well.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

1. sOs, cure, Dear
2. Stephano (will Zvp his way to victory), Showtime, Trap
3. Classic, Reynor, Gumiho
4. Stats, Solar, Elazer.

Good chance Koreans just dominate and take all the spots though.

I bet on Stephano to take out Showtime and hero with that new Swarm host nydus meta. I don't think the meta is popular in Korea and so I think it will surprise hero, and then just decided to bet on his vs showtime.

2. Stephano (will Zvp his way to victory), Showtime, Trap
3. Classic, Reynor, Gumiho
4. Stats, Solar, Elazer.

Good chance Koreans just dominate and take all the spots though.

I bet on Stephano to take out Showtime and hero with that new Swarm host nydus meta. I don't think the meta is popular in Korea and so I think it will surprise hero, and then just decided to bet on his vs showtime.


Yes this is the first real test if the gap is really closing or if it was all just a Serral induced dream
Go Serral! GG EZ for Ence. Flashbang dance FTW

HSC, Blizzcon and GSLvTW (sorry for that acronym) would point to the latter, but I could see Neeb an Reynor being tournament contender, I feel like Showtime is to standard at the end of the day.

Also a really nice thing about this tournament is that the interesting games will start in the Ro76 already, contrary to WESG which kinda "starts" at the Ro16 (with very few exceptions)

I wasn't this hyped since Blizzcon!

Blizzcon is more prestigious but IEM Katowice is the actual hardest tournament of the year. Pretty much every professional player attends.

Also if Serral wins this he's the B-word no question. But there's no way he's winning it. No one stays on top for that long in SC2.

Actually if either Serral or Maru wins this its continuing an age of unparalleled dominance. No one has dominated as hard in Korea as Maru in 2018, and no one has dominated as hard internationally as Serral in 2018.
