After a wild group stage that saw four of six Korean players eliminated while both North Americans advanced, the DreamHack Winter Season Finals heads to the playoffs.
The quarterfinals is headlined by a match between Clem and Reynor—a rematch of the DH Europe finals where Clem came out on top. Reynor had previously expressed his desire to get revenge on Clem, and his wish has been granted with a favorable bracket draw.
The playoffs also features two clashes between NA and Korea—the most surprising regions of the season finals for diametrically opposite reasons. Will Stats and TY be able to preserve the GSL's honor? Or will "powerful clowns" Astrea and Neeb out yet another pair of Koreans?

I like this bracket a lot. Can't wait!
|
Literally the most hype Ro8 matchups I've seen.

This is what Blizzard always hoped would happen at Blizzcon/WCS Finals.
|
NA is 2/2 and China is 1/1 group --> playoffs while EU is 3/4 and Korea is 2/6. I guess NA/China > EU > Korea now XD
Just kidding, I know that's not how it works.

My god... This is gonna be epicness on the scale we've never seen... HYPE lvl 90000000000000000

Of course TY gets exactly Neeb. Of course that's how the bracket works out, from 3 possibilities.

To be fair TY already had the other 2 in the previous events. He always takes 2nd in groups too, Neeb should have just known better

Stats will take it all, giving us our first protoss winner in forever.

I'm hyped up for this RO8. I'll Throw out my predictions:
TY>Neeb 3-1
Serral>Time 3-1
Stats>Astrea 3-0
Reynor>Clem 3-2
TY>Serral 3-2
Reynor>Stats 3-1
TY>Reynor 4-2
It would be great to see some (somewhat) upsets. The non-korean players have really been stepping up their game this year - so its super exciting to see how the rest of the tournament will play out!
The Clem/Reynor matchup in the RO8 is the most exciting, in my opinion. There's so many ways this RO8 can go :D
|
I like all of these matchups a lot -- each player has a shot at the ro4. I think we will see some upsets. Predictions:
Neeb>TY 3-2
Serral > Time 3-1
Astrea > Stats 3-2
Clem > Reynor 3-2
Serral > Neeb 3-1
Clem > Astrea 3-0
Serral > Clem 4-1
Can't wait!

I want to see Neeb vs Serral. I think Serral is likely to win his first match so Neeb needs to pull it out vs TY. But I also hope to see TY playing at full strength, which would make it very hard on Neeb.
Clem vs Stats would also be awesome to see if Stats is playing at full strength.

Time again from all possibilities meet serral like he always did.

What's up with ESL vods. There are so many re-runs that it's pretty difficult to find the vods of the most recent games. Is there a way to split up the vods before you guys run your 15 hours re-runs?

I hate the way they run their twitch channel, it also means I can't turn on notifications for them because I'll keep getting blasted with their reruns, and I can't put them in my autohost list because they'll monopolize it with their reruns
anyways here you go https://www.sc2links.com/tournament/?match=668

Yeah they need to do something about the perpetual re-runs thing. I don't really mind there being re-runs always on, but maybe not on the primary channel or something...

Neeb beating a full-strength TY sounds extremely unlikely tbh, save for some cross-server weirdness (massive disruptor shots).
Hate to be a buzzkill but I think we will still just end up with the Serral-Reynor finals.
