Unpopular opinion but Maru doesn't stand a chance. He's looked like a ghost of himself since that Katowice run and will already meet his end through Cure. As much as I'd want Stats, or at least herO to win, i see this as a pretty clear Cure win tbh.

herO 2-3 Stats
Maru 1-3 Cure
Stats 2-4 Cure

Cure/herO are probably the favorites imo. Really glad to see Stats back and doing well, but his run is also unfortunately indicative of the decline of gsl.

Heart is pulling for Maru or Stats to pull it off.

herO is my bet, and my heart is rooting for him or Stats to go all the way. Was never a protoss fan, but damn do they need some hope these days.

I'm sad semis and finals are on the same day. I also miss the days of 3rd place matches, though I don't think that was ever a thing in GSL.

I guess my Stats pronostic was a bit early for Katowice, but his work paid off big times

Hoping for a herO victory personally, Maru has too many GSLs anyways so he needs to peak at Worlds

Only those who don't say anything can't ever be wrong
Although I wouldn't have bet against Maru either, not the first time he looks somewhat shaky in group stages and then just wins.

I think preview threads can contain spoilers, but they need to be put in + Show Spoiler +
spoilers
so people who wanted to read comments about the piece ain’t spoiled, especially as early as after tournament day

Didn’t take time to read the piece yet, but I know the standard of quality that the writer / editor brings so I am looking forward to reading it

Its remarkable that, like Serral, Maru doesnt have a real adversary in his region.

Actually, Serral doesnt have a real adversary in any region...

You're right, no brave forcaster can be right all the time.

I believe that particular post attracted an unusual number of ridicules because of its tone and blind conviction

Really fantastic games, how fun! Nice to see the GOAT adding to his trophy case. GSL might not be everything it once was, but it's still the tournament that holds the most special place in our hearts.
