Well, not only Classic, there are more effects for other players.
Classic was born on 1991. And soO, Zest, Stats and herO were all born in 1992. Since Classic is allowed to go abroad, more players may play harder in order to get a ticket to Blizzcon in their last year before military.

Great news, he deserves it!

TY will still get to cast BlizzCon and try again next year.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

One could make a killing buying Terran-tears in bulk right now, and re-selling them during the event

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

really? on what are you basing your claim that "the majority of people" would prefer to see the player who legitimately qualified barred by his government from an amazing and well-earned competitive experience? surely you're not just inventing out of thin air that most people agree with you because of shallow egotism and balance salt?

I would expect awesome games from group B, and yet I am afraid it will be a big let down.
Hard to guess who will manage to go out from group C and D.

Poor TY, but deserved for Classic.

So now we can officially say God-form Maru 2018-S1 2019 was definitively hiding the reality of Terran weakness (in Korea at least, in final phases of tournaments. In ForeignLand Terran is exceptionally weak since at least 2013.. and by this norm they did fine this year).

Tbh someone would have told me,a few years ago, that we would see again BL/festor parties and ZvZvP bracket nightmare for months/years, i would have not taken it seriously...

Wow so this means under the right circumstances TIME can beat Stats and Serral but not Maru.

While I don't think TIME is getting out, I think you're severely underestimating TIME's form.

Would be a bit of a blow now if he fails to get out of his group lol. Wish him the best though as this is probably the last time we see Classic play SC2 for a while.

In the show Tristan gave this card to Joey so he could beat Mai, so watch TIME wins this whole group. But shouldn't Serral be Ra since Ra is considered the best? If anything, Maru is Slifer and Stats is Obelisk.

I think it's mostly just going by race logo color association: Obelisk = Blue = Terran = Maru, Slifer = Red = Zerg = Serral, there's no green for protoss but Ra = Yellow = Golden Armada = Protoss = Classic.

Also the terran logo looks like Obelisk and the zerg logo looks like Slifer.

They can still manage a sick dodge with Stats as their middle man.

What a shame for TY, best player of 2017, who made consecutive Blizzcon appearances since 2016 isn't making it... And he isn't doing that bad lately. Happy for Classic, he truly deserves it + Show Spoiler +
