Seems like I get more excited for each passing tournament. Sad to see the TY/Serral and Maru/Stats so early. Hoping for a Maru vs Serral final just so that narrative can finally end lol.

There’s not a single boring Ro16 match. So hype even though I’m gonna have to force my impatient self to not check the scores so I can watch VODs when I wake up due to this taking place in the middle of the night for me.

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.

Well TY is the second best terran, so having him beat the #3 and #2 best protoss is not outlandish. And Serral might be the best zerg, but isn't close to being the best ZvT player.

TY vs Maru is 50/50, usually I'd only favour Maru over TY in terms of championship mentality. But even then it's a weekender so I wouldn't expect either to win.

Fun fact: since the start of 2017 every time Maru and TY have played it's gone to the ace match
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

the worst thing that can happen is that right before a huge buff to Terran timings Terran kills a lot of folks with marine tank timings. The next worse thing that could happen is that right before a nerf to zergs best defense against BCs Terran wins a ton of games with BC rushes.

So I present, the worst bracket

(Z)Dark 3-1 (Z)Elazer
(Z)soO 2-3 (T)TIME
(T)Maru 3-2 (P)Stats
(P)Neeb 3-2 (P)ShoWTimE
(Z)Serral 2-3 (T)TY
(P)Trap 3-0 (T)HeRoMaRinE
(T)SpeCial 3-1 (Z)Reynor
(P)Classic 2-3 (T)FanTaSy

(Z)Dark 2-3 (T)TIME
(T)Maru 3-0 (P)Neeb
(T)TY 3-1 (P)Trap
(T)SpeCial 3-2 (T)FanTaSy

(T)TIME 1-3 (T)Maru
(T)TY 3-1 (T)SpeCial

(T)Maru 2-3 (T)TY


The least likely parts of this are Fantasy beating Classic and Time’s deep run. My explanation is that I really liked Times play at ASUS Rog and that Fantasy is going to return to form any day now. I think the rest is all pretty likely.

Serral has to be a heavy favorite based on meta alone... I don't like toss vs Serral (or even Dark) ATM and I don't like any Terran vs Classic/Stats/Trap in a bo7. Even if you ignore current meta, Serral crushes these weekend tournaments more consistently than any other player so...

Also in B4 soO stomps Time 3-0. He got pretty lucky vs Serral and people are making too much of one series.

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

Neeb is the 3rd beat WCS Circuit player but he hasn't looked dominant in any match up and he hasn't beaten a Korean since March 2nd. While I would like to see him do well, there is absolutely no reason to think he goes further than the ro8.

Are we expecting the games to start soon after the stream or do people think there will be a lot of pre-game stuff? Deciding whether it'll be worth it to watch before bed

Having watched TIME vs Serral, I'd favour TY advancing. Serral showed weakness when he played against TIME's aggressive style and you can be darn sure TIME will discuss his loss against Serral when he meets TY on ladder.

Not mine, but I'm sure Classic will ruin mine, if not someone else earlier.

I don't really see it as an upset. I think the EU Zergs are better at ZvZ than KR Zergs

Things are looking good for Protoss with soO slumping and sent instead of Rogue/Solar, Fantasy sent instead of Innovation/Cure/Gumiho. Meanwhile Korea sends 3 of their top Protoss.

Then the 2 good Terrans at the event are drawn vs their hardest opponants (dark would have been hard for them too).
Dark is given ZvZ vs EU zerg
Classic & Trap get easy match-ups
The 2 ~weaker protosses are drawn vs each other guaranteeing one goes through.

It reminds me a bit of Asus ROG where Protoss sent their more of their best and less of their worst and got to sucseed through that.
Now the draw helps them.

I hope it doesn't lead to balance complaining since balance is pretty good and Protoss had been winning less before ROG.
