Idk if there are any "good" draws for Inno. He's still a good player but his play is pretty uninspired recently, I expect him to beat pretty good players but not real contenders. Maru might honestly have been the best draw for Inno just because he's done alright against Maru historically, but even then I doubt he would have made it through. Sucks to say that, I'd love to see peak Inno again.

I think Maru vs Serral final or INnoVation vs Rogue final would both be pretty sick.

What's the best potential finals here? Dark vs PartinG, Maru vs Serral? Dark vs Serral?



From a match quality perspective TY vs Reynor or TY vs Dark imo. We've had Dark vs Serral recently and it was pretty bad. Though the single most important element to get a good finals is probably that Rogue isn't part of it--I don't think any of his premier finals were worth watching.


Rogue finals are the best

DAMN such awesome series! :-)

Rogue being so laughably strong again - he will take it vs Zest in finals.

I think this bracket hands the seeded players good potential match-ups. I fancy Dark against both Stats and Reynor, while Rogue has already knocked Maru out twice in semifinals in Katowice and only recently 3-0d him in ST. I think TY is just a bit better than both Innovation and Parting right now, so I see him advancing over either of them. And I didn't think I'd ever say this, but Zest is lucky he's unlikely to face a Protoss until a potential finals. His PvT and PvZ look great at the moment, but his PvP has looked a bit one-dimensional and shaky of late. He'll be a tough opponent for either Clem or Serral, and I think he might get the better of either if he shows up and performs to his current level.

As of right now, I'd probably predict a Dark vs Zest/TY finals.

The only problem is that it's been a long time since TY has played a decent TvP. He would not have at easy time against PartinG, and given Zest's current form plus their history TY is clearly the underdog in that match. TY would have a lot of trouble getting past the semis in any case - unless Clem somehow makes it through both Serral and Zest.

I also think people are underestimating Serral way too much. He's been spared ZvZ and now it should surprise no one if he goes to the finals.

Man this is a tough bracket, 11/12 best players right now I'd say.

For Serral I'd have preferred any of the Koreans at this stage. Clem has a good chance of ending his Katowice dream here.

I'm confused. For months, many Zerg have played like shit (for the most part) and seemed completely lost at the very top And as soon as the big tournament comes along, they seem to dominate again by topping 2/4 groups and getting two second places on top of it. I mean, I always thought this is going to happen at one point, I just had not expected it to be precisely for the one tournament with more money on the line that early in the year. (Aside from Rogue, everyone knows he'll show up as soon as the tournament is bigger)

Especially Dark dominating that hard comes out of no where, imo. And Trap kinda went the other way, That just looked horrible.

The top half is loaded with Zergs and Serral can clean up the bottom half. Unfortunately, Serral's ZvZ is looking abysmal, so I anticipate a one-sided ZvZ final.
