Cause ya know, we will never be allowed to have our dream. We got Maru Serral in a best of series last year. It was Maru 3-0.

It's not the first time you make me doubt of your reading skills; i wrote AFTER April, my statement is perfectly compatible with Dark reaching the finals IN April.
Not to mention how embarassingly childish "sucks to be you" can sound. Is this for real?

Well here's hoping for our guy Inno!
He's feeling positive!

Itching for a big Neeb win.

Dark, we know what direction it's gonna go... As for Serral, I can only hope he spices it up after another win ;o As the fictional pro-wrestling booker for SC2, I think Dark needs this win so he can get more heat as our top heel, thus building more intrigue for events down the line 
Somebody understands!
Will Serral continue being a nice, calculating guy who's just focused on winning, or is it finally time to twist the knife. Perhaps he'll finally quote the Iron Shiek

Can we just stop for a minute and say this Bracket looks delicious? 😋
I was watching the drawing on TakeTV last night and you should’ve seen how crestfallen the Chinese commentators were when they drew TooDming against Dark 😂
What looks weird to me though is the last two matches won’t be played until Thursday in the Ro16 while everyone else plays tonight. Confusing.

Six series per day, not three. They have two days to get through the Ro16 and Ro8, and they chose to divide it evenly by number instead of dividing by round.

Not to mention how embarassingly childish "sucks to be you" can sound. Is this for real? So I took the patch history of SC2.
Patches
Patch 4.3.0 BU 15 May 2018 64469 updates only Terrans Patch 4.2.1 BU 19 March 2018 62848 updates Zerg drops and moves them to lair Patch 4.1.4 BU 29 January 2018 61545 The big rebalance update
Patch 4.1.4
So why do you take JUST AND JUST AND ONLY may - december period? All the March & April Zerg successes are completely valid, so no, it's not just Serral, it was Dark, Scarlett & Rogue.
Unless liquipedie is missing a balance batch your arguments are invalid.
Edit> if this is about Zerg rebalancing we can argue about drops but that patch arrived on March 19 while Dark reached finals April 5. No matter how you look at it, April is a valid month from patch view you mentioned earlier.
So again, Dark counts, sucks to be you.

Senselessness! If you make sensible balance changes regarding one race at least two matchups are affected, thus notably differentiating the pre-patch and the post-patch gameplay.
Dark reached the Super Tournament finals in April(patch 4.21), I wrote after April instead of after May(after 4.30) because no Premier finals were played in May.
You are once more failing to understand what I said and reiterating your ridicolous claim, "sucks to be you", while being wrong.

Are these the only matchups for tonight? If not, Maru and Serral can't meet until the next day at least, right?
PtitDrogo vs Lambo INnoVation vs Rail Serral vs Dark DnS vs Scarlett Maru vs Neeb

Does this seem crazy to anyone else? Three quarters of the top 8 games will be played by people who have had the evening and prior morning to prepare versus specific opponents and 1 of the top 8 matches will be played by tired players who have allready played high profile best of 5s that day and who came to the site not even knowing what races their quarterfinal opponent was playing?

All of those + winner of Drogo vs Lambo against winner of Inno vs Rail. The entire Ro8 will be finished.

No?
It's a little odd, sure, but crazy seems a bit much to describe playing two Bo5 series in one day. There are plenty of tournaments like HSC and IEM and that demand more games than that. These guys are pros and will have several hours to rest; it's really not a tall order for them.
And let's be real: Inno can easily defeat any two of Rail, Drogo, and Lambo regardless of format.

And let's be real: Inno can easily defeat any two of Rail, Drogo, and Lambo regardless of format. i agree, two bo5 in a day is well within the accepted requirments for pros. and ofc this alows for an equal 6 games a day over 2 days, which is more logic viewership wise.
in anycase, it's looks like we'll have maru vs inno and serral vs scarlett in the semis... in which case we'll have TvZ in both finals and 3th place match.
