I dunno Kev, I'm thinking those foreigner heathens in group A might be able to scrounge together something kinda cool. I mean it does contain a world champ and a recent GSL semi-finalist. | ||

I don't think it's a group of death. It's pretty clear to me that the two best players in it are Serral and Neeb, and Serral vs Neeb sounds uninteresting. I guess if you are a fan of some of the other players in the group though (for instance, Neeb), then you'd easily disagree. I'm a fan of Scarlett but I'm still not going to watch her crush these kids in her group. I only like to watch high quality matches, which is why Maru vs Special may be interesting, since Special (like Scarlett) has high potential in any match. | ||

Neeb and Showtime are almost exactly 50-50 in head to head map score and Showtime won the last match so I wouldn't say he's clearly better then him. And Masa can take a map out of almost any body. Unless one of them crash and burn Special-Maru won't really mean anything, it's just gonna be for seeding in the first round of the playoff. But depend what you want I a match I guess. Group G is hilariously bad tho, INno and a bunch of player who aren't even good enough for WCS Winter. | ||

I wouldn't be as surprised when the weirdest perception of reality gets expressed. Showtime proved to be more successful than Neeb last year, especially in the 2nd half of the year. He had a slightly better head-to-head record in 2018 winning the more important matches (WCS playoffs twice) and also winning their last two matches. He also had a slightly better record vs Koreans in 2018. Also Showtime and Neeb proved to be able to take maps off Serral in the past, so there is a possibility that even Serral could bomb out of the group (I highly doubt that but if there are two foreigners able to make this happen then it would be those two protosses). Their overall winrate is essentially the same but Showtime's is gained vs an overall tougher competition while Neeb's is a bit bloated by his wins vs NA-Players below the surface of the few top players they have. It would be really funny if Serral wouldn't make it out of the group an Maru won the whole thing ^^ | ||

The next tier of tournaments are WESG and Blizzcon, and Neebs games at both were better. The quality of play is just different. The only saving grace for Showtime is that PvP is kind of coinflippy since Neebs' micro isn't at the level of Stats or Classic. ^Serral vs Neeb is going to be one-sided. If you don't think so, just consider if it were Maru vs Neeb. It's obvious the latter would be an embarassing affair, and I think the former is a comparable difference in skill. | ||

It might be onesided, but what makes it interesting is Neeb's prowess in PvZ as it is one of the best in the matchup whereas he is not half as good in PvT. | ||
