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
So fantastic.

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.

They fly less people that way you know.

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’m a big TIME fan, hope he can have a good run

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.

If you don't let Thunberg know then it's fine. Also, with 8 Korean players plus those who are already in Korea, you fly less than eight people for the ro16. Then you fly 8 ppl to Anaheim for ro8. That's less than flying all of 16 ppl to California.

Yeah, TIME is a great player but if the standings stay how they are right now there is no way he is getting out of that group.
Here is another say: As most world players have little chance to go to RO8，if TIME will be out anyway, it is happy to be together with a top player(maru I guess.XD)

well, point taken actually. i hadn't thought about it that way.

Not a biggest fan of TIME, but in contemporary overall circumstances it wouldn't be necessarily the worst thing for the SC2 if TIME would surpass every expectations and win The Blizzcon.
20 million new Chinese players would emerge onto a ladders soon after trying to follow their great idol.
Go TIME Go!

For we chinese fans, we are so happy to see that, here are some interesting comments from Chinese sc2 forum:
1. Time seems to entered the finals in advance---3 times
2. Whoever will be out with Time in this group, we will say:'See--Time is as strong as Serral/Maru/Stats(LOL)
3. Do you know in Chinese sc2 forum, they made funny pictures for groupB
Maru-THE GOD OF OBELISK
Stats-THE SUN OF GOD DRAGON
Serral-SAINT DRAGON-THE GOD OF OSIRIS
Time-Lava Battleguard

hi,wax,I hope you could replace the "China was left out on the fun" with "China PR was left out on the fun" in the second paragraph so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Just wait for the TL apology

First time at the Global Finals and possibly placed in the most deadly group of death in WCS history, and people wonder why sc2 doesn't attract new players.
I just checked liquipedia. Holy cow you weren't kidding. That's a one for the ages. Crazy to think that one of Maru, Stats, and Serral will be out in group stages.
