The 48-player group stage of WESG has concluded and the sixteen player playoff bracket has been drawn. The playoffs will begin on Wednesday, Mar 13 7:00am GMT (GMT+00:00).
PtitDrogo, Scarlett, and INnoVation impressed on day two of group stage matches, going 10-0 in their groups and joining MaNa in finishing the group stage with perfect records. Host nation China also earned representation in the playoffs, with ToodMing advancing in second place from his group alongside INnoVation. Rising Chinese star TIME was eliminated by the slimmest of margins, ceding a playoff spot to Rail on the difference of a single map win.
Well, if we're gonna get to see Serral vs. Maru, it's in the finals.
Serral should have a good shot though, I feel like he can overcome Dark once again after he already did it twice last year. Maru will most probably be up against Neeb and Innovation, should be harder.
Serral vs Special in semis, and Maru vs Inno in semis.
Then finally, we shall have our Serral vs Maru Finals dream be almost fulfilled, except right before it happens, the power goes out and we have to cancel the Finals match.
Cause ya know, we will never be allowed to have our dream.

Tbh I'm much less interested in Maru vs Serral these days, both of them have been proven mortal and Maru's performance at both IEM and GSL has been especially disappointing.

Still the best possible match here imo, largely because they haven't met in a high stakes situation like this since....well, last WESG.
It'd be interesting to see how things have changed, if at all. Should be roughly even too, Maru is slumping while Serral is sick. They're both probably still the best players in attendance as well.

PtitDrogo, 
SortOf actually has a good chance to reach the semifinals.
