As somewhat of a public service announcement, I notice that there's still 10 previews left and only 5 days before the first group, so if the TL staff is stretch a bit thin I could maybe whip out something? Obviously it won't be as good as what Wax and co write but I could give it a shot.

(I'm really not trying to steal anyone job, if everything is under control forget all of this and continue your great job)


Well, they can keep publishing preview after the groupstage starts if they make sure they finish publishing them in group orders(eg all the previews for group A first, the last released being for someone from group B).

Excellent article. I may not be a herO fan, but Wax is looking good these days. Thanks for this one and looking forward to the next.

Sweet article, it really sums up the hectic meme machine that is herO. Another crazy comeback herO pulled off this year was vs Alive in g2 during their qualifying match for IEM.

I really appreciate all the work that's been put into each of these summaries. It feels good to see such devotion to my favorite esport, and only joyful outlet haha. Thanks Wax!

I like seeing Trap and herO play, as I believe they were both in By. together in the BW days.

i could agree with herO being a wildcard in the sense that he could beat some "favorites/contenders", but as for winning the entire tournament, i'd put him in the category of "No-Chance-In-Hell", at least in his current form.
Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

Great write up. I’m not sure if hero will take it all, id probably bet on someone else. But he really could.

I think hero is pretty good odds to make it out of groups at a minimum. PVP can be pretty nutty, but hero is great at the control aspect, great at the decisive aspect, and strong at the Rock Paper Scissors aspect. Event against classic who is great I can’t put him much off 50-50. Against HeRoMaRinE I think hero has just beaten higher quality opponents throughout the year so I think he’s favored. For Reynor, I think he’s very strong but I’ve seen him lose to Korean tosses that just keep up non stop attacks and harassment and also to battles where the other player just shows stronger unit control. I think hero is a strong favorite to make it out of group with his match against classic determining if it’s as the one or two seed.

What a glorious player, there’s something so madcap about herO that I just love, expressed rather more eloquently by another fine preview article of course
