I don't think Rogue will win this season. Reynor tho it's possible.

very very rough for bunny , ryung and Classic. They dont have Reynor's luxury of compete in the weaker ESL regionals

Sure, but the Zerg pool is pretty stacked. Even the weakest zerg will give anyone trouble.

Sad to see Classic not playing. Hopefully he can still qualify for the Esports World Cup (he should considering the standings) but this is especially rough for Bunny

What do you mean "considering the standings"? He is already 800 points behind Solar and 1100 behind GuMiho. Only two players qualify through korean standings

Spots that would be given to someone who already qualified goes to global standings. I’m assuming that there will be enough spots going to the Global standings.

TY is an absolute legend, wow. Not often that you have someone playing more than one game at the highest level.

I don't think Code S top 16 is the highest level anymore..

7xZ, we have a serious infection
P+T boys will have to turn up the heat and hunt the bugs if they want the trophy this season

Minus 3 players, 1 who hasnt played a single offline tournament and 1 who is in military service, this code S probably have all the top 15 players in the world, outside of IEM/EWC, which tournament has higher level?

We almost never see the Koreans outside top 6 play the EU outside top 4 so it's kinda hard to situate but I do believe if players like HeroMarine and Showtime for example tried GSL they would at least qualify

Was it really only 26 Players in the whole Qualifier as stated on Liquipedia? I never noticed only so few players participate, but looking up the previous season had only 23 participants on the Qualifier?

Your statement really means nothing. Nowadays korean scene is below the EU one and you know it. The korean top 5 can fight eyes in eyes with top EU players but the others korean players not.
Already we saw koreans who have returned from military service don't play so well anymore. They can't stand comparison with EU pros as Clem or Reynor who play every single day.
TY's return in Code S shows pretty well the korean scene state. Even if I love TY, and I am pretty happy to see him back, recently he told he lets sc2 down for BW, anyway he succeeded GSL qualifier. Worrying sign for the korean scene.

This Take is wild, yes korean Scene has declined, yes i'd say this Tournament doesnt have the highest Level anymore but If you Look below the top 5 korea still has better Players than EU/NA.

Not quite sure how people can look at this list of players and think this isn't a super stacked tournament lol

Kr is still stronger yeah, EU > Kr is a rather premature claim although I think if SC2 continued for another 5 years that eventually would be the case. Aside from the holy trinity I think the next level down, Heromarine, Showtime or a hypothetical offline MaxPax are probably better than a handful of the Ro16. Either just outright better than a Nightmare, or better than the current incarnations of TY or soO, albeit those players at their peak are obviously better
Shame the likes of Classic and Bunny didn’t make it for this one, especially if it’s to be the last as rumoured!
What happened with those guys? From what I’ve seen so far from post-military soO, TY and others they’re not quite in the same shape. Bad bracket or just a bad performance?
|
I liked watching TY play sc2 in the past but I feel like, if he does not chose a permanent game, he will not be as great as he could be at either one.
|
even if there are 7 Z here i don't think we will see a Zerg in the final. but it would be nice if one of them makes it to the semifinals.
