[image loading]2020 Global StarCraft II League: Code S Season 3

The Code S RO24 concluded with a strong comeback performance from (Wiki)ByuN in Group F, who advanced to the RO16 in first place with victories over PartinG and Patience. ByuN brought several quirky openers and looked dangerous when attacking in the early-mid game, but his late-game loss to Patience suggested he might be in trouble should his TvP matches go long. In other words: not much has changed since two years ago? In any case, it's good to see the former BlizzCon champion back in action, and also back in form.

(Wiki)PartinG overcame his initial loss to ByuN to advance in second place, taking down (Wiki)Bunny and Patience to claim the last ticket to the RO16.

Contrary to reputation, (Wiki)Patience might actually have been the best macro-game player on the night, beating all three of the Group F players in lengthy macro games. Unfortunately for him, he lost a proxy vs proxy cheese-off in the deciding map against PartinG, thus narrowly missing the second round cut.



With the RO24 completed, the RO16 group selections were held immediately after with TY holding court as the #1 overall seed (due to having the most GSL points on the year). TY must have looked on with glee as Group D turned into group of death, with Rogue, INnoVation, Dark, and Trap forced to fight for two playoff spots. Fans will have to wait a while to see that particular group, however, as Group D will be played on October 10th, after the Chuseok holiday break.

The RO16 will begin on Wednesday, Sep 23 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) with Group A, featuring TY, Dream, Armani, and Zoun.

These groups are CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I am so freaking excited
Is this the best RO16 ever? Could be close.

Even Group A, which is clearly the worst group, is still super exciting (usually Group A is a snoozefest compared to the other groups) because Dream and Zoun can definitely handle their own. Armani 0% of getting out, got lucky vs a washed up sOs and an overrated Cure who wont get out of the Ro16 again

I think strength of Groups go D > C > B > A

Groups C and D are insane.

It's funny because I don't think you could really predict who's getting out form those. In can be any 4 players 100%.

EDIT: in fact this ro16 is so stacked and great, I wish all matches were bo5.

Sorry not sure where else to post. I just started watching SC2 VIDS again but also frequently browse TL.net. I think there's a way to hide displaying these news blurbs for a bit but can't find it for the life of me. Can anyone help advise where to go?

I was soooo disappointed TY didn’t/couldn’t use his authority as the top seed to swap Dark and Maru after everything else was done. You all know why. 😁

That being said, as a Protoss fan, I have a lot of hope for Trap this season... but geez dat Group D 😳

These Groups look absolutly insane
D is obviously totally crazy but the other 3 also have great dynamics, will be great to watch.

I m also fine with Soo (and partly also sOs) not making it, as they were often realy hit or miss lately and made for kind of short, unexciting serieses in the past.

Group C is group of death for me, group D should be easy for Rogue and Dark so nothing to see there I think. Group A is free for TY

Rogue will roflstomp the group yes. But both Dark and Innovation are disappointing lately. I think any of the remaining 3 could advance here, especially if Trap steps up in his PvZ once.
Why so serious?
