I will be very stoked for BlizzCon this year! Can't wait. Well, technically, it's almost certain that I will, but I would prefer not to.

Super tragic for TY. Also now TIME is officially the biggest dark horse of the tournament.

Happy for classic that he got what he deserved. But I think the majority of people would have rather seen TY, another Korean Terran. Especially since it doesn’t seem like Maru will make it out of the group, so there is a real chance there are no terrans in the Ro8 which would suck. Besides Maru the only other Terran with a sizeable chance to make it out of groups is Special if he can overcome his hate for Zerg and beat soO (and showtime which isn’t a guarantee).

Does seem like each group has an at least decent chance of producing a foreigner. Some fun groups in Ro16, still worried about what the Ro8 will look like

I think you dont know the difference between the terms dark horse and outsider (or maybe even sacrificial lamb in this case) :D

Ran the whole bracket through aligulac and this is the median result:

soO 3 - 2 Special

Dark and soO advance

Group B
Maru 3 -1 TIME

Reynor and Classic advance

Group D
Trap 2 - 3 Elazer
Rogue 3 - 2 Neeb

Elazer 1 - 3 Rogue
Trap 2 - 3 Neeb

Elazer 2 - 3 Neeb

Rogue and Neeb advance

Ro8
Dark 3 - 2 Classic
Maru 3-2 Neeb
Reynor 3-2 soO
Serral 3-1 Rogue

Ro4
Dark 3-2 Maru
Reynor 1-3 Serral

Final
Dark 2-4 Serral

Serral is the champion!



It predicts that Serral will lose to Maru in the group but then ZvZ his way to victory in the knockout bracket.


I can live with that

but I think in reality there will be waaaaay more 3:0's

Good to hear. Applying for permission well in advance works out in the end then. Eager to see how Serral and Maru dodge each other.

I'm very happy for Classic. He fought hard to get to play and he is rewarded. Now hopefully he can improve his form going into Blizzcon to bring us some peak Old Man play.

It's a bit regrettable to only have Maru representing Korean Terrans, and have him in the hardest group. But oh well, nothing to be done.

Happy to hear even though this obviously means TY won't go. Classic deserves the spot.

I'm surprised and pleased that they let him participate. Also looking forward to watching the group of death. That is going to be fun.

Based on current meta and form, i do not see Maru beating Serral at all. He will most likely come 2nd in the group if he can beat Stats

What a shitty comment, lol. If TY had performed better he wouldn't have to depend on a better player getting DQ'd. Really happy for Classic that he can travel to that tournament that he deserves, to finish off his stellar year!

Played in Korea, all games best of 5? Serral has a shot of going trough, but with these groups rip foreigners tbh. It is even possible we will see 0 foreigners at blizzcon if Serral doesn't make it.
Why so serious?

These groups look better for foreigners than the ones we had last year, except for Serral's that's indeed harder.
No foreigners at BlizzCon is as likely as five advancing; did you watch GSL vs The World, played in Korea with bo5 matches? I would personally expect to see two or three foreigners at BlizzCon.

Serral, Neeb (don't forget Trap's winrate has gone downhill since his 4-0 GSL loss to teammate Rogue ) have fairly good shots at advancing, Elazer might if his ZvZ is as good as GSL vs the world and Trap is indeed mentally broken. Reynor has a relatively easy group if his ZvP/ZvT are relatively close to Serral. Special will have to exceed expectations but he tends to do that in various BlizzCons so it could happen! If he doesn't, then it's probably Showtime that qualifies (I don't think soO is in a good enough shape to beat him these days, and the favourable zerg meta doesn't suit his style as well as the 2017 meta)

So imho foreigners have good groups in order to advance.

Whats your point with GTW? Look at the bracket. Foreigners vs each other, koreans vs each other most of the time. Yes, i did watch it. Don't get me wrong, i would be happy if you are right. I certainly does not hate any of the foreigners.
Why so serious?
