He has a normal post-championship slump, so he might not be practicing as hard as normal. Hell, he even said in his winner's interview that he wants to take this season easy since he was so stressed practicing last season. If worldbeater Rogue shows up though, he's a safe favorite to make it out. He usually does well against Dark, I'm assuming he's confident against InNoVation since he picked him first, and Trap would have to win 2 PvZs to get out first, which I just don't see happening. Either way, the 1 week Thanksgiving break between the 2 sets of groups is going to be so painful! At least every group gets progressively more interesting. | ||

The other groups though...they are impossible to predict. Group D is very dependent on which Rogue shows up. If the championship Rogue he will destroy this group. Trap while I respect him and think he is the best protoss and probably has the best PvZ, I dont believe he has a chance here (0 chance beating Rogue and he isnt that hot against Dark or Inno usually either) | ||

With his 2 finals and him tying TY’s run of consecutive Ro8s, he’s probably the second most deserving player of a GSL who hasn’t got one yet. Ironically soO doesn’t come second in that particular competition. On the other hand, his PvZ is better these days and big picture if the cards fall right and him and Inno take out both Rogue and Dark, his chances shoot up in playoffs. Zergs, even the best around are way more doable in Bo3s where the Protoss needs fewer good builds and Zergs have to prepare for multiple matchups than the horrors of facing them at final boss level in a bo7. Group C is disgusting as well, as much negativity as there is swirling around this dead, lifeless game there’s some bloody talent on show. Looking a little further ahead what matchups would you fine folks potentially like to see come the playoffs? TY facing off against Trap has been one I’ve been hoping will happen for a while. Parting has had some great results with his particular style of PvT, until he ran into TY countering them and I’d love to see what the latter would prep against Trap, who I think is the strongest orthodox PvTer around. ByuN or Zoun vs anyone would be hype, and I’d love to see DRG continue his return to the top. | ||

Like it's Dark-Dear-TaeJa-Scarlett, TY-DRG-Scarlett-SpeCial and now TY-Dream-Armani-Zoun. Don't think that's that different. Probably one of the consequences of cutting Code S from 32 to 28 is that even the group of life isn't always a total meme. Also even though Armani and Zoun won their groups TY called them the 15th and 16th best player in the Ro16. So their best chance is probably being underestimated rather than their actual skill level. | ||

While I mostly agree with you, I must add to that that Zoun actually has displayed great preperation skills in GTC, wich makes him a little bit more dangerous than your average 16th best player in terms of raw skill. | ||

Well I think in general the 16th best player in the Ro16 is there because they're good at prep and maybe play a bit weird and not necessarily because they're the 16th best player in Korea. | ||
