2019 Global StarCraft II League - Code S Season 1


The Code S RO16 closed out with matches from Group B, finalizing the bracket for the playoffs which will begin next week.

Dear built upon his solid run to the IEM Katowice RO8 by repeating the feat in GSL, topping Group B and earning a RO8 match against Maru for his troubles. Meanwhile, group favorite Dark limped through in second place.

Three-time GSL champion Maru looms large in the playoff bracket, but his lackluster performances suggest the first Code S title of the year could be anyone's for the taking. The quarterfinals will begin on March 27th with the upstart Bunny facing the brutal challenge of Dark in his first Code S RO8 match of his career, while Classic and Rogue will face off in a rematch of the IEM Katowice 2018 finals.

Man the bottom half of the bracket sure could get awkward. Maru vs Trap would be a team kill and Dear and TY practice with each other so much it may as well count as a team kill too. Maru vs TY the rematch from the last GSL finals. And then Trap vs Dear, the PvP most people don't want to see.

Maru and Trap / Dear and TY are close practice partners. They'll probably be going at it hard for the ro8.

(Z)Dark 3-0 (T)Bunny
(P)Classic 2-3 (Z)Rogue
(T)Maru 3-2 (P)Dear
(P)Trap 3-1 (T)TY

I feel like the bottom half of the bracket is really hard to predict, I think based on Maru vs Neeb in WESG he can absolutely take out Dear, but not sure about TY.

I think based on Dear winning 22 consecutive tournament games in PvT (including matches against every Terran in Ro8 and all offline), 1 match against Neeb doesn't mean anything for how Maru will do.

That is true. My Maru bias just kicked in there because lately I haven't seen any other Terran handle lategame TvP like he did. Either way it's going to be a great series.

Now this is Dark's chance to get his long overdue title. Perfect bracket for him.

And probably no terran in ro4

Here's hoping for a repeat of last year when Classic had a way better TvP streak and Maru destroyed him.

Classic had a longer streak of matches (11 for Dear, Classic had 13) in a row he won in total, but Dear has gone way longer without dropping a map.

Here's hoping Dear manages to drag Maru into a halfway decent series, because lord knows all Maru's TvPs in GSL playoffs last year were unwatchable garbage.

Classic's streak had a much higher standard of players as well. Those 13 series included Maru three times (two of which were bo5), ByuN three times, Gumiho and TY once each. And those were literally the four best terrans at the time.

Out of Dear's 20 map streak only like four of them were against top TvPers (and Bunny depending on where you rate him).

Well this is a pretty sick bracket. Really hard to call who gets to the finals.

Gotta feel bad for Bunny though. Finally a Ro8 and you're pitted against the best ZvT. But funny matchup considering the stuff going on between them in the group nominations Would be the most baller thing ever for Bunny to take out Dark there.

Hope Maru vs Dear will bring us some good TvP like back in 2013. With Dear's form, I'd say he takes it 3-2 but never count out Maru in a preparation match.

Get ready for a Bunny vs Dear final, a man can dream, I really do think Dear will make the finals if he can beat Maru but realistically Dark should destroy Bunny
