Dear's largely here on the strength of his PvT (14-0 for the tournament!) but now he can't have another T opponent until the finals (if TY even makes it). Still, an impressive surprise (or is it?) run from him. Also, I think it's fun to point out that Stats, Zest, Dark, and Dear all had better records than Serral. (Yes, I know Serral was in a very hard group and that his last match had no competitive stakes. That's why I said it was for FUN  )

weeeell he 2-0d sOs and soO as well so his other matchups don't look all that bad either. losing to ragnagod is no shame, and scarlett was a mere fluke

Why on earth should the 2 foreigners be guaranteed to take last places? What a troll...
It's been a 4 way tie - so they were extremely close, right?

Hopefully we get the soO v Serral bo5. Other than that, I'd say Stats v Dark is pretty much a given semifinals, but it's harder to say who is going to face Serral in the other one.
And now for TY to Regenerate the Glory and give us all the epic seven-game grand finals that we deserve

hoping for a Dark vs soO finals here. soO hasn't gotten 2nd at Katowice yet so it's time.

they collectively took 1 series from the 3 players that advanced so no, not close at all.

Damn the only way Serral will face TY is if they both make the finals. That is disappointing. At least TY doesn't have to deal with protoss until the ro4. Hope he can make a deep run.

i feel like stats is the only guy there who can make serral bleed

Amazing bottom bracket. No matter the finalist it will be tough for Serral if he makes it there too.
We saw a huge weakness in Serral's ability to close out late game ZvT against top tier Terrans. If TY plays Serral he now has a game plan on how to win.

What part of “Both TY and soO advanced by winning a single map more than uThermal” don’t you understand?

sure it will be dark vs serral

Naw.
soO and TY have a better chance imo. soO for just having incredible ZvZ that can match Serral and TY for being a Terran with a huge arsenal to throw at him.
Seral vs TY is the best finals possible. Dark or Stats will likely ruin that though.

someone was trying to argue with me earlier that soO has terrible ZvZ, I was like ????? soO vs serral would be pretty exciting, much better than Zest Serral

he did lose to bly in hsc... i know it's a meme by this point, but his zvz is better in korean zvz where games don't go past mid game. soO's late game has not been great in any matchup, and he definitely doesn't get much training for late game zvz while serral gets plenty on the european ladder. i doubt a bo5 between soO and serral would go any different than expected. once serral gets lurkers, soO is gonna panic throw
(don't get me wrong though, serral would beat him in mid game zvz as well )

eeey we get blessed with soo vs Zest

soO has an nice ZvZ but Serral is a completely different beast....i think soO would get eviscerated. Serral has already dismantled the premier Zergs in Dark and Rogue en route to his GSL vs the WCS finals i dont think soO is as good as they are at this level.
TY is interesting but recently he can barely hang with the Dark's and Rogue's....there is nothing that makes me think he can beat Serral.
meanwhile Stats met him in the GSL vs world and WCS finals and took games off of him

Serral lived up to his Global Champion billing in Group C, conquering the 'group of death' to claim first place. However, the other two advancing players from the group were anything but the usual suspects, with
