S Tier: Serral >>> Maru A Tier: Dark, herO B Tier: Clem, Reynor, Cure, Oliveria C Tier: HeroMarine, Solar, SHIN, Gumiho Reynor's results over the last year also aren't A-tier, but he has the sheer aura of "could win any tournament any time" about him. It feels wrong to not list him as a contender even if the numbers would say so | ||

The biggest question mark for me is Oliveira, he looked amazing at Dallas but I'm not sure if he can maintain that level. If he can it will be a very exciting tournament. | ||

I view Dark, Clem, and Oliveira as the only ones that have a realistic shot at taking out Serral. However, Clem and Oliveira are much more likely than Dark to get knocked out by someone else. | ||

Protoss will lose as soon as only Serral and Koreans exist in the bracket. So actually: T1: Finnish T2: Korean non-Protoss T3: Korean Protoss T4: rest. | ||

I think ByuN is a very dangerous opponent for anyone not named Serral, but otoh, given his wrist issues and/or peculiar style, it is highly unlikely for him to win the whole thing. For him to win it would require the stars to align like they did in Oliveira 2023 run imo. As for Classic, for some reason he manages to overperform offline sometimes / doesn't seem as flashy online as herO, which makes everyone forget about him pretty quickly. The expectations aren't that high so it's likely he'll "overperform" with that many people sleeping on him | ||

The format of this tournament just makes it very difficult for a protoss like him to win. Double elim and a secondary knockout bracket means unless you cruise straight to the final four, you need a bottomless bag of builds. A protoss like Stats who can play reactive, or herO who's scrappy enough to repeat builds, would have a better shot. Build-smiths aren't made for this kind of events, which is a shame because there's not much money in starleagues or teamleagues in comparison. The best result for Classic is to take out one of the big guys (Serral, Dark, Oliveira, Maru) and then lose to the next one. | ||

I agree with this one. In any tournament without Serral I'd want Maru in S, but given their history it's hard to put them in the same tier. | ||

I don't expect Serral, Dark or Maru to drop a series to C&D tier players, whereas this is a very real possibility for those in the B tier. Their remarkable consistency against players at lower tiers is what makes their winning chances so much higher. | ||

Their remarkable consistency against players at lower tiers is what makes their winning chances so much higher. Yeah pretty much this, and why Serral and Maru are so remarkable in these times. My tiers are roughly: A - Highest ceiling, consistent B - Highest ceiling, inconsistent or slightly lower ceiling but consistent And so on and so forth. As for Clem and TvT I feel the matchup is slightly less stable than it has been in the past, but broadly it’s still Maru is favoured versus everyone, Cure is favoured versus everyone not named Maru and the rest of the notable names are kinda 50/50 against each other. So I don’t think it’s a huge Achilles heel for Clem, but he’d probably prefer other matchups. Like a slightly less potent Serral in that his ZvZ is merely very very good rather than borderline invincible at times like his others | ||

At Dallas and Katowice he looked as good as ever. The fact he can still practice a little bit, but spend a lot of time thinking about the game, and then focus 100% on the few big events a year is not a hindrance at all. | ||

He’s for me the favourite, although I don’t think it’s overwhelming like Serral being over 50% chance versus the rest of the field. It’s more likely to me that anyone other than Serral wins versus him taking it home. But he’s looked imperious this year, and I think double elimination, Bo7 semis etc definitely helps him out. He’s so resolutely consistent that longer series are an advantage for him, and he’s got an extra life if he has a bad one. | ||

Main reason they're still in B is I can see ByuN beating Dark, and Cure beating Maru. Neither is that likely but anyone in C/D I just can't see taking a series off anyone in A/S. I also think Serral has about a 60% chance of winning. Dark 15%, Maru 12%, rest of the field (mainly looking at Clem, herO and Reynor) 13%. | ||

Serral basically never loses in double elim. The more games he's able to play, the better his odds. For him to lose he needs to get sniped by someone like Clem/Oliveira/Classic/another zerg on fire. That doesn't happen often enough to lost in double/triple elim | ||

He’s made more Ro4s+ in the last year in Premier tournies than Oliveira has ever made If we’re weighting very heavily on recent form, Cure’s got some decent form too, feels they should be on the same tier. If the argument is that Oliveira’s shown the cohones to win a big WC-tier event in the past, well Reynor has a couple in his locker even if he’s slumped in recent times: | ||
