Amazing article, Time will maybe have one more shotto prove he's for realy by eliminating the world champ or vice-worls champ at Blizzcon.
Also, is Wax gonna do them all this year? If so kuddos to you!

Time was definitely one of the most entertaining players of the year. I hope he can post a few more close games to top off his season.

I'm just worried for TIME with his Blizzcon group and what not. Here's hoping that Blizzcon 2019 becomes history in Chinese SC2 history.

Time edges out Maru by getting a lucky early scout on a double proxy rax and then beating some weird mech all in that doesn’t quite work.

Time then beats Serral with straight up bio play simply out multi tasking him and displaying superior mechanics. Last time they played, Time won every game that’s was played as traditionally intended (multi prong bio). Time lost with weird mech builds, but when Serral tried to match him with straight up multi task mechanics he wasn’t up for it. This time, Time learns his lesson, plays bio every game and only drops one game to Serral.

Time advances 2-0

But seriously, this release order is confusing me.

It's the same random order they applied last year. Someone made sense of it then. I think it was something to do with chronological order of the "time in the year of their breakout performance"... but yeah, random!

E: okay, yeah, Wax already answered. Random!

Actually, Classic is forbidden from playing due to military. Maru gets moved up a group and soO joins the group of death, where he is 2-0'd by TIME in the same way he was at GSL vs the World. He also 2-1s Serral because he still tries a funky mech play on map 2 after going up 1-0

I love TIME but he's been really overrated this year. He had a couple close series against a Serral who was playing far below his standard, and still lost.

Don't see any chance for him getting out of his ro16 group here
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

so from what i hear the first stage of this tournament is in Seoul, then the rest at Blizzcon in California, right?

so they're flying a bunch of people to South Korea and then from there to California for what reason exactly? seems like a huge waste of money, a lot of jetlag for the players involved and, most importantly, quite a bit of unecessary damage to the world's climate.

Not really, they still fly 16 people

I guess they need to buy less total flights. But some of those flights are one-way tickets, so I doubt much, if anything, is saved. Also, Neeb's flight is waaaayyyy more expensive this way

They fly less than 8 to Korea since Special already lives there (and TIME is probably also in Korea most of the time). Blizzard's big brain plan has eluded you

I like Time, but he really has a rough group, and I'll probably be rooting for Serral & Classic. But I hope he shows some great play.

Are you talking about GSL vs the World, China Team Championship, or WESG?

Maru has opened double proxy rax reaper in roughly 50% of the tournament games he's ever played against TIME, gotten blind countered several times, and won most of the games he's gotten blind countered.
