This is the Group that will Kill my Liquibet win streak
I have 0 confidence in predicting any outcome here, all 4 Players could easily get 1st or 4th in this group..
Going to be super exciting to see what they have prepared for us

Just write previews I agree with so I don't have to complain how hard can it be

I always want to see the Shield of Aiur win everything, partially because that's the playstyle I try to emulate, and also because Stats seems like such a nice guy. However, I don't hold out too much hope for a macro-based Protoss in this patch/meta.

Contrary to many posters here I believe that TY's skill is underrated. Rather, it depends on the definition of skill - I believe that his A-game is truly great, but he has issues bringing it often.

The difference between him and someone like Maru is not the ability to strategize, multi-task, etc., but maybe just to have the proper mental stability. His quality of play is greatly varied even within series; he will play a deciding match in a bo5 much differently than other players.

Overall performance might be overrated but the A-game underrated.

Wow, not a lot of love for Solar here. I'd put his chance at advancing as better than Stats in this group (strong play of late, avoids the risky ZvZ matchup). With the retirements of Classic, herO, Gumi, etc, I'd love to see Cure and Solar move into a Code S Ro8 level consistently.
TY vs Cure for 3rd best Terran is a fun battle, hopefully the winner's match. This group is pretty stacked with Solar as probably the 5th best Zerg in the world (<Serral, Dark, Rogue, Reynor) and Stats is still probably top 3 Protoss. Not possible to be surprised if anyone advances, this one is total hype.

The horseman era ended when Maru became undoubtedly the best Terran in 2018, everything since was a fight for a far away second best. TY has been losing that fight on every front.

I hope Cure and Stats make it. An aside, 5 years ago there was an article for the anniversary called 20 greatest of all time. Will there be a revision for the 10 year anniversary?!

TY is no longer the same player he was in 2017 or 2018, ever since his Stim snipe with 2 Ravens, I think he's been mechanically slowing down and knows that he cannot play a straight up game. So, he preps very carefully to gain early and mid game advantages with Bio or play Mech against Protoss.

Once he feels like he can't do it anymore, he's gonna go full time caster.

TY has always played a bit outside the norm but recently he seems more like Gumiho, way outside the standard meta. Mech vs Protoss and such. And his mechanics have seemed more like Gumiho's too.

I would've bought the idea of getting older and slowing down a few months ago, but Inno went through a big resurgence and now his mechanics are super crisp and clean even though he's older than ever.

Ty's issues with Protoss don't stem from any form of slowing down because if that was the case it would be far more evident in TvZ. I think he just lacks confidence in the TvP matchup.

Solar > TY

Gonna go against the grain here and take Solar and Ty... Solar will beat down Ty mechanically, Cure will choke when it matters, Ty's TvT is still top-tier, any zerg beats toss these days, and Ty will have some funky TvP builds that catch Stats off guard.

I think Cure has got very good TvT. I would not rule him out at all. It's his time to shine, his chance to dethrone TY as he goes into the twilight of his career kicking and screaming. I am not sure TY can balance a career as a caster and a pro-gamer for another full season. Solar is a strange player, I will never put my money on him. I'm not sure he can raise his game and dominate the group.

I go for Cure and Stats or Cure and Solar. However, I have a feeling TY will prep some insidious builds to throw everyone off balance.

Oh man, this is definitely a group of death. All 4 players have a good chance of getting through this. I think maybe Solar gets through instead of Stats or Cure, but really too close to call. I think TY is the least likely to make it through.
I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.
