I think Dark can't ZvZ his way to championship, IF he meets with Rogue and Serral.
But i think this championship is Serral's to loose


Serral certainly has the bracket to do a repeat, I think he ace his way to the final tbh. Maybe Rogue can upset him there. Or Maru I guess but that ain't happening.

Also I think Reynor gets bop by Trap. He was looking nervous as shit in his group, I think he will just crumble on stage.

Much as I love Classic I think Serral-Rogue's very likely. An interesting storyline in its symmetry, the battle of the repeat winners, and the most stable Zerg against the sneakiest.

I think the only one who can match Serral in ZvZ is Reynor so I hope this final won't be a ZvZ because if it's the case it will be a "free win" for Serral. Even if Rogue said he is better in late game I just remember what happened in blizzcon last years so I don't believe in his chance against the finish men.

It would be funny if Rogue win that. We would have:

Rogue: Blizzcon-IEM-Nothing-Blizzcon

And Serral:
Nothing-Blizzcon-Blizzcon final

Same as sOs-Life

I'm guessing Serral get busted for organizing dog fight next.

Top Bracket: Everyone played it safe with a Serral finals prediction.
I'm surprised no one was brave enough to predict someone else.

Bottom Bracket: Most played it wild and predicted Maru.
While Maru is an exciting choice, it's also a pretty boring choice since everyone picked it lol. Also, it is quite a diss towards Rogue that he wasn't even picked once.


I think the most dramatic finish would be a Trap vs Rogue rematch. Can you imagine Trap taking on Zerg after Zerg against all odds only to get crushed in the finals by Rogue?


"Everyone played it safe with a Serral finals prediction.

Uhm, yeah - we don't want to get lynched by Serral's fanboys next time we're at some event.
Also not everyone picked Maru.



Hey, I'd make it quick and painless.

Yeah the real upset : Serral cruises to ZvZ finals, then goes on to lose it.

Ditches golf for weight-lifting competitions and fight club next.

I believe that Maru vs Serral is the most likely to happen scenario.
1) Maru's been playing in a way more standard style this year. Yes, his results at GSL are worse, but it may result in a better performance at weekend tournaments.
2) Nobody can be prepared for a terran player this good.
3) TvZ is his best match up and it's likely that this is the only match up he will have to play


I would put my money on Maru in any TvZ.. expect for Dark. Darks ZvT just seems so damn solid.

Looking forward to Maru vs Classic in the lower bracket semi-finals.
Im liking Destruction's bracket, but rooting for reverse mapscore in the finals

Dark 1-3 Maru

Reynor 3-2 Serral

Any prediction that says Maru doesn't win is wrong.

What has Serral done to make him the favorite versus Maru? Like he beat TY whose TvZ is nowhere near the level of Maru and Maru only recently lost to Dark whose ZvT is also godlike (Maru actually beat Dark in the latest online match).

Playing the most flawless Starcraft 2 there is right now would be my answer.

Really hoping for a close Serral vs Maru final going the full length. Don't even care that much who wins in the end
Go Serral! GG EZ for Ence. Flashbang dance FTW
