All kinds of wacky shit goes on early in those tournaments.

Ah yes, ESL cups. Reynor is famous for taking those super seriously! But in all fairness, Solar vs Rogue will be pretty interesting. Rogue should be capable of all the same shenanigans DRG did vs Solar. On the other hand, Rogue got styled on by Dark, and I'd normally rate Solar over Dark in ZvZ atm (despite his loss vs DRG shaking that belief).

What are people putting for power rank?
Me:
1. Maru 2. Clem 3. herO 4. Dark 5. Serral 6. Cure
And then I think a bunch of players below that are roughly equal.
Honestly expecting Serral to still be good but not uh championship-winning form. Then I think Maru and Clem are going to be the two best players but Maru will have the edge in TvT.

Really tough bracket for the captain, doubt he will make it through :/

Isn't Serral still able to practice a decent amount? I expect him to still be in great form, he wasn't the kind of player who grinds 8h/day anyway

I think it's really an unknown, but clear that he's able to practice significantly more than the Korean military, where you have almost no time. We'll find out from interviews soon.

But we can dream!
To be honest, solid underdogs are the main reason I'm watching tourneys. Once it boils down to the regulars (Maru, Serral, Clem, etc) I tend to lose focus a bit.

I expect him to still be in great form, he wasn't the kind of player who grinds 8h/day anyway In the one match Serral played (vs Coffee) he looked a bit sloppy in the first game and crushed the second game. I would imagine that even if Serral's level is still high, only playing 1 competitive match for months would make him a bit shaky in tournament play.
That being said, Kato Serral was a monster - probably one of the single highest peaks we've seen of anyone in SC2. Serral at 90% of his Kato form would still be a slight favorite to win.

Well said, GG Solar ![](/mirror/smilies/puh2.gif) where can I find the vod of that game?

Would you like to rephrase that?

Every time I give him any credit he loses. Losing this way is such a Solar thing to do.
I talked about Solar and his awful time in Proleague in this article: https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/562437-the-good-the-bad-and-ridiculous-of-proleague-pt-1

Rooting for Clem

Trigger looks so nervous. Poor kid. Lets hope he can keep it under control and fight vs Dark, but I don't really believe the way Feardragon does.
E: lol, ouch. That was brutal. The reason Nydus didn't work that well vs Stats is clearly that he needed more queens.

A truly bizarre comment.

Honestly, Rogue slapping Solar twice is a bit embarrassing for Solar.

It really is. I've been watching this game far too long to actually believe Solar would win.

How was serral vs her0? Cause her0 looked really good vs reynor then got 2-0 by serral?
Or just reynor his form?
