The second day of RO16 matches in the GSL Super Tournament saw sOs, Zest, Patience, and Classic advance to the quarterfinals, completing a lopsided 1-Terran, 7-Protoss bracket.
Should Stats defeat GuMiho in their upcoming semifinal match, Stats will seal a 100% match win-rate for Protoss in the tournament and guarantee a Protoss champion. The latest results continue a trend of Protoss domination in the revitalized Super Tournament, with Protoss players winning three out of four championships since the competition was revived in 2017.
The quarterfinals will be played on Saturday, Apr 20 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00), while the semifinals and grand final will be played on Sunday, Apr 21 8:00am GMT (GMT+00:00).
This is the first time in GSL history that any Ro8 has 7 players of a single race. Not even GomTvT or BL/Infestor or the Blink era managed to get past 6.
So the only non-protoss to advance was the only match that didn't involve protoss, lul. This should be fun; watching reddit's reaction might be more entertaining than the rest of the tournament.

I won't bother watching the entire tournaments except the final match, let say if Guminho lost today. Hopefully he may win and Stats can try next time though I knew toss armies under Stats works well against mech.
The pvp is boring for me unless the performers are someone like Stats against the one he can go neck and neck with.

The new meta definitely benefits toss so much. Even the lower tier toss players can advance.
Protoss finally does super well in a premier tournament and everyone loses their marbles. Last WCS/CodeS/IEM/BlizzCon winner that was a Protoss? If there’s imbalance right now I’d be pointing at Zerg. 🙄

do not compare top1 being or not protoss with top8 being 7/8 protoss

Protoss has been getting nothing. They're starving for a tournament win. No surprise now that the dust has cleared after terran and zerg won IEM/WESG/GSL Code S suddenly the protosses are having their day.

Protoss was well represented in the Ro8 of all of those tournaments. Super disingenuous to compare 1 Protoss losing in the finals to almost all the Terrans and Zergs losing well before they can get anywhere close to the finals.
