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.
true words ^^

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.

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.
|
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.

He only beat Time, because he had troubles with Jetlag, afaik.
So that doesn t even count

It would be an amazing story but I just don't see it happening. Even in the best case scenario Stephano would have to beat the winner of Reynor vs Elazer, both of whom I would put in the Top 5 ZvZ in the world atm, while Stephano barely defeated JonSnow and Denver. If Heromarine, Neeb or Time managed to upset Serral though he might have a decent shot in the finals. If Heromarine, Neeb, or TIME get to the finals, they've almost certainly proven that their vZ is on fire and thus should stomp Stephano.
Stephano has already beaten TIME without much troubles, Special is more dangerous because he is very good with mech.

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  .
Oh boy, I totally agree with that! But you just misspelled the name: It's R E Y N O R, not Stephano...

If Stephano beats Special AND Reynor, my jaw will be on the floor, but I don't think that's at all likely. This is my ranking for each player's likeliness to win this tournament:
1. Serral (duh)
2. Reynor (duh)
3. Special
4. Neeb
5. TIME
6. Elazer
7. Stephano
8. Heromarine
Skill-wise, I think Heromarine is slightly stronger than current-form Stephano, but Heromarine's facing the god today, so he takes last place in the list.

I don't know, I'm really interested in a Neeb/Serral rematch in the ro4 if they both get there of course to see how Neeb holds up post patch of infestors.

I wonder if any zerg will today, but to be fair, Reynor looked sharp as a knife vs Elazer...

Stephano playing full time or he's still studying? If he comes back he has a huge potential.

Stephano will always be my favorite Zerg.
