Is it me or have they not cast a single Serral game on the mainstream this tournament? I would love to watch Serral stomp randoms out of the tournaments but haven't been able to catch any of his games.

ALL remaining matches will be casted on the main stage/stream.

If Has vs Serral was possible then I think Stephano vs Serral can happen too.

Well that wouldn’t be enough for Stephano though, he needs to win it to make it to blizzcon.
A finals would „only“ push him into the Blizzcon warchest money (ranks 9-16 of each standing gets some of that).

that's true but I think it would be so hype even if he lost. It'd be like passing the torch. That said, he needs a miracle to even get that far.

Seriously I think Stephano is the only one that can take the crown form Serral or at least compete for it. He's the only one that quite consistently beat Koreans and actually won tournaments. No one else really has the right mindset for doing it, they are too afraid .

Everybody counting out Gabezilla already .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The top 8 are so consistent this year.
In Summer the current top 8 were all in the Ro8.
In Spring only Heromarine missed out, because he has to Play against Reynor in Ro16.
Now only Showtime got eliminated in Ro16 from playing against Heromarine.
The only other Players reaching top 8 in WCS this year were Goblin in Spring and Stephano. So I gues it s absolutly well desreved, that they are (most likely) going to BlizzCon.

Assuming Stephano doesn't win, the world will also have a perfectly balanced delegation: 3 zerg 3 terran 2 protoss. Will we be able to abandon `foreign terran bad' soon?

I gues that assumption isn t to bold either. According to Alligulac bis chances are less than 1%....
I know, Alligulac isn t everything and his momentum right now might Help him, but Special and Elazer/ Reynor are on a completly different level than Masa, Gerald, JonSnow and jetlaged Time.

Honestly, that is amazing.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

SpeCial 3-0 Stephano


Normally I disagree with you Boggy, but when you're right you're right. Stephano hasn't even had a very difficult bracket so far, this will be his first real test, and I don't think he's got it in him any more. Even if he does (which would be awesome), he'd still need to beat Reynor and Serral most likely.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Stephano beating Special isn't inconceivable, though it is super unlikely. Him running the ZvZ gauntlet is even more improbable if he makes it to that point. Would be hype though

I have not been that impressed with Stephano. The only real notable player he has played in the tournament is Uthermal and he lost. He beat Time in group stage 3 but I'm not sold on him either so yea. I hope Stephano does great but this match against Special is his first real challenge of the tournament.
