Am i the only one, who laughed so hard at this piece? I really root for GiantGabe to prove him right with this quote!

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)

That made me read the entire piece, and the joke about DongRaeGu handing military apparel to his teammate made me read DRG's history on liquipedia, heck I remembered he was a top zerg especially in ZvT back in the days, but I forgot he actually won code S.

Trap seems to be pretty underestimated, if TY takes Serral then I believe Trap has a chance.

I would love for Serral, Reynor or Maru to shine here but I feel Stats/Classic.

Nice predictions. Everyone except wax at least is a possibility. I like TY and he is definitely good but c'mon. Wax you have him predicted to beat the best Zerg player in the world, best Terran player in the World, and 2 of the top 3 Protoss players in the world. That's just not realistic.

You know that Maru is a god when winning a bo3 against him legitimizes you to win the entire tournament.

I love how everyone is sleeping on Neeb. I understand things are based on performances but Neeb is honestly one run away from being extremely dominate again.

Prediction: Neeb vs soO
Neeb wins 4:3

But Neeb and soO are on the same side of the bracket, they won't play a Bo7! :O

Maru has to deliver close to his best at one of these the odd time right?

Last time he played Stats in the first round of a tournament he brought some mech goodness that he’d obviously been preparing in-house, and rather well. Curious what to see what he brings this time around.

Apparently, although I haven’t seen the games because WCG is as well organised as my life he also has some pretty nasty new lategame ZvT tricks up his sleeve that Reynor couldn’t find an answer too.

Pretty damn pumped for this tournament, feels that half the field could plausibly win it depending on form and how the brackets shape up.

Why are most counting on TIME beating SoO? soO it's gonna wipe the floor with TIME.

Probably the sum of soO not having the best form right now and TIME showing good results/major improvement overall.

I do still agree that soO should be favored on paper at least

Hmm, liquipedia says that for the team match the format is the same as the previous year, except the ace match if necessary: it's not between Dark and Serral by default, but between randomly chosen players.
Or have we quite given up on the team match as it is?

"Maynade's post-match speech hyping Serral goes on for so long we actually miss Classic vs Reynor"

"The final audio is Maynarde, who still hasn't finished praising Serral from two days ago."

Why so many put Maru ahead of Stats?

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

shit I thought the balance patch was gonna be before this tournament, I was so excited

Does any championship run really sound realistic when you put it in such abstract terms? TY is also a top 3 player of his race (and by consensus the best TvT player in the world), none of those wins are out of his reach individually. This chain of wins is not likely enough to make anyone bet on it. But I also don't see Maru vs Classic finals with Classic winning as realistic.

I do agree that the series vs TY is a very very tough one for him, however i also feel that so could Maru bow out round 1 to a very inform Stats right now. Will be very intriguing this first round of the bracket.

I love TIME and always root for him, having a Chinese top player would be so great for the scene too. But right now, after asus rog, he is a bit overhyped imo.


I've watched his live stream after rog, he communicated with fans, and obviously he became much more mature.

I do believe he will be well prepared today, and don't be shocked imo.
