Damn they couldn't even give Maru a match against Reynor to start :/ With the current balance and his bracket he is the automatic goat if he wins this event. Hoping for the soO over Serral upset.

We'll have 4 Z players in Ro4.Then Serral will prove the world's best ZvZ and win another trophy.

This could easily be Dark-Serral finals. If Dark beats Maru, Rogue is not going to stop him.

Darks only chance to reach final is to hope Classic somehow gets rid of Rogue. Dark almost never beats Rogue, his ZvZ is at least 1 tier below and Rogue is also a lot better at these kind of tournaments.

Serral vs soO:
This was probably the best draw for Serral: soO did beat him at IEM but he’s fallen off considerably since that day. The style Serral plays is simply superior. soO will put up a fight of course but Serral is the best player in the world for a reason.

Reynor vs Trap:
Of all the initial matches we gave this one might be the most evenly matched. You have two players making their first RO76. The meta clearly favors Reynor, but Trap is a JAG and no doubt will have some time to bring out some special ideas. His PvZ approach was very interesting to watch last night and Reynor has been known to forget to make infestors. As for Reynor, just ask Serral how good he is.

Rogue vs Classic:
IEM Katowice 2018 Final Rematch. The state of high level PvZ is in a pretty bad way. Rogue knows it. So does Classic. Rogue had to be pretty happy with this draw. That being said, don’t underestimate how motivated Classic is with his impending doom/military service, AND... if there is one Protoss who is able to answer our current PvZ meta questions... can you think of a better Toss player to solve it? Rogue is the favorite because he’s the Zerg but if I’m betting on any Protoss to upset him....

Dark vs Maru:
What a difference a year makes, huh? A year ago at this time, Maru was crushing it on his way to #1 Korea. Now Dark has that moniker. As some of you have mentioned before, Maru is one if the players they trust to get TvZ figured out. You’re right. Dark is also significantly better. He showed good form over the year and looked frightening in ST2. For once the meta isn’t in a place he can whine about it. As with Trap, Maru does have JAG to help him out though and has said he remembers the sOs debacle last year as much as we do. Both of these players are highly motivated so I’m expect this match to go to the distance and I have no idea who should come out on top. It all depends on what version of Maru shows up

Predictions: Serral (confidence: Extreme), Reynor (confidence: none), Classic -calling for the upset (Confidence: Low), Dark (Confidence: 50-50).

Ro4 Predictions: Serral over Reynor: Confidence High, Dark over Classic: Confidence Moderate

Final: Serral over Dark: Confidence High

There is my two cents.

It's a shame Dark will beat Maru because he has zero chance getting past Rogue
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

A number of players got their best match-ups;

Serral (best ZvZ in the world)
Rogue (best ZvP in the world)
Dark (best ZvT in the world)

They are also the three form players (won the last three major tournaments). I'm hard pressed to see how they don't win their respective Ro8s as both form and historical strength is in their favor. The only one I'd question probably is Dark vs Maru, as historically Maru has had the best TvZ in the world.

Maru needs revenge! Remember how people doubt Maru in their GSL rematch vs Stats after ST1? Then Maru 2-0d Stats in GSL. I think the same is going to happen this time. Maru 3 Dark 1
Rogue | Maru | Scarlett | Trap

I am a huge Maru fan... but I can't see him winning this year with that meta. Zerg is currently too favored on top lvl. He must play a level above Dark, Rogue and Serral. Which is pretty hard

So I would bet on zvz semis... awesome...

It's not undoable, the issue is that even if he gets to the finals he played 2 high profiled TvZs, any zerg who would face him already has enough of material... there's a reason why everyone and their mother say that Terran gets the most from preparation and the less when they cannot prepare. And now this ...
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Here's my prediction:

(Z)Serral 3 : 0 (Z)soO
soO will meet a brick wall and Serral continues his lossless win streak
(Z)Reynor 3 : 1 (P)Trap
Traps chances are very slim, but he will try hard and gets one point on the board
(Z)Rogue 3 : 0 (P)Classic
Rogue will devour Classic for breakfast
(Z)Dark 3 : 2 (T)Maru
Maru will fight valiantly, but will still succumb to the swarm of zerg

Full zerg semifinals incoming

(Z)Serral 3 : 0 (Z)Reynor
Serral forgets how to lose, and is looking to literally clean sweep Blizzcon
(Z)Rogue 3 : 2 (Z)Dark
This will be a close bloodbath on a knife-edge, but Rogue will barely come out with the victory

(Z)Serral 4 : 1 (Z)Rogue
Rogue tries to prove korean zerg strength to Serral, but Serral slaps it down and nearly clean sweeps Blizzcon

I will be rooting for the non-zerg though, especially Maru. Would love to see Serral vs Maru (as does everyone), but I think this is a curse now and we will never see it happen lmao
