I'd love Showtime to win against Neeb but he recently didn't look too good which is a little sad since he had such a fantastic form after his HSC injury. Fantasy winning against Classic is something I can see happen though. In the end, I'm expecting another edition of Stats vs Serral. From TL's prediction I think Wax's is looking the most fun, but I REALLY doubt we will see a TvT final. | ||

The balance patch hits after the tournament, the 15th patch is war chest and bug fixes. Stats beat Maru on stream very recently. I don’t understand either why so many put TIME ahead of soO, one good series against Serral doesn’t mean he will suddenly win matches he is not the favorite in. I highly doubt he’ll get past soO in bo5. Other than that the predictions seem plausible | ||

Well, he's playing against soO. Do you say that many of us thinking that TIME will win against soO makes him overrated? soO certainly isn't to be underrated, however he lately showed a lot of questionable games, but more so in ZvP and ZvZ I guess. | ||

Also rooting for Showtime and Classic. Think of it, this may be one of the last tournaments for Classic, how brilliant it would be for him to win and have a nice send-off to the army. | ||

Yeah I do, compared to Serral, soO and all the Koreans so know TIME very well. And soO can show weak games and still be the best player in the world the next day and win IEM katowice. TIME is great, but still "just" a ro8 WCS player and not a "good chance he makes the final" player like soO. I hope TIME wins for the hype and if it happens it's not a big surprise, but I don't think it makes sense to predict a win for him here. | ||

I hope TIME wins for the hype and if it happens it's not a big surprise, but I don't think it makes sense to predict a win for him here. soO hasn't been in "good chance he makes the final" form for a while. That can always change at any point, but I don't think it's too outlandish to give TIME a good chance here. On paper, it's still probably quite soO favoured but I don't like the idea that predicting TIME to win doesn't make sense. The whole point of predictions is to add a little flair, a little personal bias etc. If we all based our predictions on what is most statistically likely, would what be the point of predictions? Everyone would have the same one. TIME still has a lot to prove in terms of results. But it's much more fun to predict the rise/upset rather than predict "predictably" until someone has proven themselves, and then you start predicting them to win. It reminds me the last GSL vs The World where people thought Serral would get smashed by Innovation and Dark because he had yet to do it, you can't blame people for thinking that but that's a bland way of predicting up-and-comers. People have seen some inspired play by TIME and have some faith that it might manifest itself into a victory. Even if the odds are against him, that sort of prediction makes a lot of sense to me. | ||

Dark must crush TIME, he's the villian in the story. soO is too nice to sign SC2's death warrant by eliminating the Chinese. | ||

In the final foreigner vs Korea match of the first round, HeroMarine scores a huge upset over Code S runner-up Trap, proving the superiority of EPS over Code S once more (the following week, he presents his two map losses as proof of Protoss imbalance on his stream) | ||
