Text byolimoley
July 20th, 2022 19:45 GMT
TSL 9 Logo Slanted




Shopify (Wiki)TSL 9 qualifiers have concluded! We searched high and low amongst 14 different regional and server qualifiers and gathered 32 astounding players! Look forward to the grand performance these accomplished individuals will bring to the main event! Check out who will be competing against each other in our bracket and what our splendiferous sponsors have in store below!


Bracket

The bracket uses the EPT Seeding Standings available here. Scores were snapshotted as of Wednesday, July 21st. As a reminder, TSL 9 is a 32 player double-elimination bracket. The preview of the upper bracket is below, please click the image to be redirected to the full bracket:


TSL 9 Upper Bracket

The tournament begins Friday, Jul 29 11:00am GMT (GMT+00:00). The full schedule will be on (Wiki)Liquipedia once confirmed, with minor match schedule adjustments to accommodate the player’s schedules.


Sponsor Features & Contests

Title sponsor Shopify is pulling out all the stops to make TSL 9 one to remember! Guests will join Harstem and Lambo at the Shopify Rebellion Analyst Desk at AWTF-EU.

Hard to imagine anyone that could stop Maru from breezing through to the semis. All of his potential rivals have to duke it out amongst themselves until then.

You never know what Maru would try with this, he might do some weird shit build, like Mech vs Protoss, and get knocked down to the Lower Bracket early.
Btw, I think its weird to have the top 12 players who will be playing offline but only for Bo3 in the first few round (if I am reading the infor from Liquidpedia correctly). I think it should be all Bo5 for the top 12 until it reach the Finals.

I think Hero has a better chance to beating Serral then Maru, Serral has looked shockingly vulnerable in ZvP lately and Maru just...once again....looks like he doesn't lose very often to anyone.

Yeah even though Serral just won HSC, he didn't have his aura of "I'm invincible against anyone that's not zerg." He lost to ShoWTimE and Gumiho in group stages (good players, but definitely not best of their race), and was taken to match point by Neeb in a Bo5. I actually think if they meet in the upper bracket, Hero is the current favorite against Serral.

Even though the HSC final was one sided, I wouldn't be surprised if Clem beats Serral just because online Serral loses a lot to Clem. Serral vs herO would be hype though, I'm sure Serral realizes PvZ is a weakness rn and will try to patch it up. Still, the match would only be 2 weeks away, so herO would still come in the favorite.
