during the stay at homestory cup #4 back in october I was interviewing Reynor, HeRoMaRinE, Lambo, RotterdaM, Lowko, PtitDrogo, Dennis Take Gehlen, Kelazhur and EonBlue - asking who is the favorite to win Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2022 and becoming the world champion of Starcraft 2.
So here are the predictions from the players/casters:
The Interviews are part of a bigger Videoproject I am planning on making about the starcraft 2-scene. So this is also kind of first teaser for this project, which might take some more years to finish.
Because I made those Interviews back in ocotober, the predictions might acutally be a little bit outdated - I hope nobody minds me posting it nontheless.
As of now my prediction for the semi-finals would be: Maru, Zest, Serral and Rogue. The one favorite to win IEM Katowice for me would be Maru.
Who do you think will become the next world champ?
P.s.: I am open to criticism about the video, feel free to adress things you did not like about it. Also: Feel free to use parts of the video for your own use / react to it.

I think by "them" you refer to the footage from the previous IEM Katowices? It is all out on Youtube. In the top right I wrote down the source, whenever I used clips from ESL/Blizzard. That's also the reason I am not able to monetize this video. For the documentary I am planning on making in the next 3 years, I will of course only use footage I have the full rights to.
But if you meant to ask where I managed to finde all the players/casters for the Interviews: I kindly asked TakeTV if I can film during Stay at homestory Cup in the TakeTV studio. This event was -afaik- the first tournament post covid outbreak, where at least some players attended offline.
So no, I am not working for ESL or something - "just" for some german television news - and starcraft 2/filmmaking is my passion.

Let's get a Clem or herO in there.
Or if we can't get an underdog, let Serral complete his trophy case.
Or if none of that, give it to EonBlu.
For me, who I shouldn't named here looked like a psychopath while you may blame Maru and Rogue for having 0 personality.

I love how you don't want Maru and Rogue to win because they have no personality and then want Serral to win
I think it's incredibly ignorant to say that Maru and Rogue have no personalities. Their interviews are very charming. Maybe you just think that because they don't speak English in their interviews or rap on their player cams?

What??
also since when does Rogue have no personality? Did you miss his Proleague ceremonies or his recent interview where he said "in my mind this was a 5-0" after beating Scarlett 3-2? or his frequent keyboard smashes?

To be fair that guy also thought herO has a personality, which is better than most of those people in that video who just tried to pretend that the Koreans who beat all the players that they talked about in the past few months don't even exist KEKW

The interview was done during SAHSC4, that was right after Serral winning his DH Global Final and a DH Europe convincingly, so obviously most of the answer would be Serral-favored at that point in time. Maru and Rogue running streak at the end of the year and recent months would probably change a lot of that opinion now.
That was a nice little video. Looking forward to your project. As for predictions, I'd say: Heart: Reynor, Zest, Serral, Clem, Maru and Rogue. And Gabe. My head just says: Rogue XD
And guys, please give the content creator some credit in this thread, not the troll that repeats year old prejudices
To me, I want either Maru or Zest to win. Maru can cement his goat status with a win, and Zest winning one more before military would just be amazing after back to back silvers at IEM
