I don't think he's a clear favorite, especially since he lacks practice against the best terrans. I think he has a 52%-ish chance of winning a Bo7. It could easily be 60% if he had spent even 2 months in Korea training, due to his overwhelming mechanics. Alas, he's too comfortable being at home. He showed some innovative nydus usage vs TIME, and I'm thinking he has more up his sleeves.
i was thinking that upper bracket placement inherits a bit of advantage in the weekenders right?
As the upper semifinals while be played first and the winner will have like 1h or 1h 30 min more of rest compared to the winner of the semifinals of the lower bracket.
Haahaha Holyshit! You guys are drunk! 3/6 predicted Maru-Serral finals? Guys, haven't you learned already? They managed to dodge each other while they were in the same group! It's not happening!!
Pretty unfortunate, that Trap and Reynor have to eliminate each other that early. Both of them had absolutly great years so far. While it s not expected from either of them to win the whole tournament a Top 4 would be a reasonable goal for both.

That's why it's called a fantasy bracket, as stated up there. You guys just looking at the brackets, or are you also reading the texts? :D
not sure why everyone is convinced Maru would beat Serral if he gets to the finals. It's a moot point either way, because if Maru can't beat Time to get the dream match, we might as well admit it's never happening

If only Serral wasn't a chicken and stop playing the minor leagues. "He doesn't wanna leave his home". BS. I am not against his decision of not joining Code S and continue playing in the junior league. However, that should mean that he can never be the best player since objectively most of the best players are still in Korea, and he has lost IEM, WESG, ROG. Best foreigner sure.

You mean the same touranments that Serral was waiting for Maru, but Maru was busy dodging and no where to be found?
