Seems like very good balance all-around. Lets hope the bracket wont have any single race loaded to one side.

I did watch the stream and think they mentioned Astrea is teamless and it's too late to join one for EWC for the points to matter, which would be a huge shame if they make it far in the tournament. Still, even if they bomb out of every match, it's still at least $7,500, so congrats to everyone who made it and looking forward to this.

Honestly a quite exciting lineup judging by how volatile the results have been in recent months, feels like this is the first time there is no clear favorite.

Off the top of my head: Clem Serral Maru Reynor Hero - Classic Rogue Solar Shin Cure Zoun - Byun Showtime Astrea HM Lambo Trigger Lancer.

I think Classic should be top tier, he's so consistent at the moment. He is favored vs Reynor/Maru in BO5. IMO he's the Protoss hope, eventhough I'm a herO fan.

I have a big NA bias, and I'm rooting for Trigger and Astrea. Love to all the competitors, though.

I m really really impressed by Astrea. Usually not too interested in protoss, I really like the endgame of him. Really impressive against terrran. Really fun to watch.

Only 3 weeks now. Getting hyped!
I will watch the shit out of this.
This is the last big SC2 event ever (like 99% sure). Sportswashing can shut up this once.

Any Preview / Power Rank coming?

Fuck those people who mention that my entertainment product is being used, transparently at that, to legitimize a slaving theocracy. How dare they mention human rights, I have games to watch!

Okay bro.

Yeah I boycotted the World Cup in Qatar with a billion of viewers and billions of money invested.

I'm not gonna boycott the EWC SC2 tournament with not even a million in price money and maybe 50k viewers. Sorry not sorry
