I don't know, man. Parting losing to Maru, that's a wild prediction!
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I have never seen a group that was as impossible to predict as this one. I hope and bet on the Toss' but man I wouldn't be surprised to see double terran.

I think theres even a reasonable case for this being the group of death. This one is very very hard to predict, anyone could take it and wouldn't be a shocker. I could see any player just flaming out and getting bopped, and I could also see that same player comfortably taking 2 match wins. I think Maru and one of the two protoss will get out.

Hoping for double Protoss but I had Maru and Stats as my liquibet, but PartinG could beat Maru and Byun

Patience is a really strange case when it comes to discussing PvT balance, because no one really plays the same build 95 probes, mass expand, and then build dozens of blink DTs style like he does (maybe Zest sometimes, but even Zest doesn't commit as hard to playing like a Zerg). And yet it does seem to work wonders for him.

Incidentally is it confirmed that they're playing on the old maps until the end of the Ro16? It would be strange to swap out the maps mid-round.

I am really confused but I'm assuming you meant PartinG

He said 95 probes so that is NOT parting.

I guess I missed the part where the article mentioned Patience being a 'macro protoss' for some reason

Is Stats ok? Since he felt sick in KB qualifier he did not participate in any online tournament he usually did such as Olimo and ESL cups.

So, what of Stats? He's also set to begin his military service in the nebulous 'near future.' He said that the impending end actually motivated him last season, which helped power him to his first Code S finals appearance since 2018. Even if it ended in a lop-sided 0-4 defeat at the hands of Rogue, he would still have scored a solid 8/10 on the blaze of glory scale' had he enlisted for the military then and there.


Troubling that the Zerg hive is not only content with tournament domination, but also fake news and historical revision...

Correction: Stats lost 4-1 to Rogue in the finals of GSL season 2 (not that it didn't feel like a 4-0).

It seems Stats was at the hospital for some time recently due to a high fever (not COVID, fortunately), so he may have wanted to get whatever serious practice he can and not play online tournaments before GSL.

STACKED.

I feel bad for Byun for getting this group for his returning gift, but if he makes it out? That'd be so sick. I'd love to see him make an immediate comeback.

Its crazy the reward for whoever gets out of this group gets to face one of the ones who move out from the group of death. Its like the two groups of death meats eachother in the RO16 is so stupid, making it out of group D is pretty much equal to reaching the RO8 coming from group A and B...

Truly an epic group of Protoss and Terran players, and an intriguing blend of style clashes.
