Also fun fact, the last Zerg who won Code S went through INnoVation, herO and PartinG in the playoffs. Maybe Dark can go through herO, PartinG and INnoVation. | ||

hero and parting both excel in the current pvz meta which focuses on timings, and both have the potential to display the pinnacle of unit control which goes hand in hand with the timings. they are both extremely dangerous opponents for dark imo, as is hurricane, who has recently been making his GSL runs on the back of his PvZ against guys like Rogue and Solar | ||

We're not talking about 2017 herO or 2015 PartinG. There's a limit to how far a favourable meta alone can take someone. That being said I can see Dark losing to herO. PartinG wouldn't beat either of them. | ||

Trap I’m rooting hardcore for as he was my tip, and I enjoy being right on the odd occasion I am I like the way Hurricane carries himself, seems a pretty chill guy and it would rile up the more annoying balance whiners more than any other player winning probably, which I’d also enjoy. It’s a pretty nice feeling really, nobody I’d actively root against, nobody I’m super invested in so can just chill and sit back and enjoy good games (they better bloody be good games) | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Maru, TY, Solar, sOs, GuMiho, Stats, Zest, and Dear or Cure could be a plausible Ro8 in an alternate timeline, and PartinG, Hurricane, and herO are all worst by far at PvP thus perfect opponents for Classic in his current form He somehow gets stuck on the side with soO, Trap, and INnoVation, and Dark gets the three weakest opponents on his side of the bracket. Just looking at Ali-Predict, even though Classic is favored against every player in the bracket (median outcome) and has a ~2/3 chance of winning the Final should he reach it, his chances of reaching the final are just so much lower than Dark that the smug Zerg is narrowly favored to win it all over Classic 25% > 22%. + Show Spoiler + Win Top 2 Top 4 Top 8 + Show Spoiler + Classic 3 ┐ Estimated by Aligulac. Modify. I'd love to see soO or INno with an easier path, but Trap likely has to beat the best Terran (Inno), Protoss (Classic), and Zerg (Dark) left in the tourney. Time for a new JAGW legend to be born. Even with 8/Ro16 and 5/Ro8, the bracket has broken down so unfavorably for Protoss that the odds for a T+Z win are greater than Protoss, 52/48%. | ||

I am quite sure soO said multiple times during his interviews that 2019 was his last year and iirc he mentioned that as additional source of motivation. As for herO, it was written he was considering retirement last year but then decided to play for one more year. I'd be happy to be wrong or they might decide otherwise after all; however, Classic is one year older than both and he is struggling to postpone enlistment, his BlizzCon participation is not confirmed yet and he was denied the possibility of going to Katowice. For the korean progamers born in 1992 this year is most likely the last "safe" one. | ||
