Let’s not kid ourselves, no group in this MSL is as strong as Group D, and obviously, once the groups were made public, most people stopped even paying attention to the other groups. But that doesn’t mean that the other groups don’t have entertainment value of their own.

Group F is no different, with 3 excellent players and a wealthy potential for upsets.
To the players, then:

RorO – Quite possibly the most overlooked player out there, Roro is very well defined by the nickname „S-class reader“. RorO is very consistently represented in leagues, and for good reason. He’s pretty consistent in Proleague lately, but did you know RorO is currently #9 in ELO? RorO has excellent mutamicro, pretty good ling management and good defiler control. 2 of these traits will help him immensely in todays group, and I think his recent hive game against ZerO pretty much proves that he’s more than just a solid player. Bisu likes solidness, so this is good.

Clam – "Rubbish Zerg", "Brainless Zerg", "ToSsGirL in disguise offracing", however you call him, he’s bad. He pretty much only exists so that I, Cheep and our beloved Angelic Protoss Guardian of Truth, Justice and the SKT way can laugh to see him fail. If we’re lucky, we can see a Fantasy- Clam game where he gets obliterated by a million mines. I deserve this.

Neo.G_Soulkey - In times when Zerg was in the most dire state, a lot of fans on Team Liquid turned their eyes on the rookie Neo.G_Soulkey to remedy this situation. If you’re new to the BW scene, you might not know how miraculous his emergence in the Woongjin rows was initially. Neo.G_Soulkey came from out of nowhere and absolutely destroyed a team which only blasphemers pretend to like to spite the Infinite Goodness that is Bisu (and they will be punished for it, like all loving goodness always punishes.)
Why would we care about this? Because it was only the start of his reckless domination over Terran, on maps few thought it possible. While this momentum has admittedly been cut short, he still somehow sports a 4-1 record over Fantasy, and a 60% PvZ winrate. The Woongjin Ace-in-the-hole is still considered the Zerg with the most potential, and his hive ZvZ is top Woongjin caliber. Maybe this is the MSL he’ll finally go deep in? If he has enough faith to avoid Bisu, it is very much possible.

Fantasy – The current OSL finalist has possibly jumpstarted his momentum after finally getting over his long-lasting silver streak. He almost single-handedly snuffed Hite’s hopes of a Winners League title, snapped away the #1 KESPA ranking from Flash, drastically improved his TvZ , and has the honour of being on the same team as Bisu.
Although Fantasy is the most likely to 2-0 this group, he’s also the one person who doesn’t want to face Hyuk in the ro16 after such a result. This opens up 3 unpleasant options for Fantasy: a teamkill, a bo3 vs. a resurgent Leta, or dropping out of the group entirely. But never mind that, seeing as now, Fantasy has plenty of Zerg to terrorize.


So, what will the final results be?

Clam < RorO
Neo.G_Soulkey > Fantasy (deliberate loss)
RorO > Neo.G_Soulkey
Clam < Fantasy
Fantasy > Neo.G_Soulkey (in very convincing fashion, as if Bisu entered the booth himself)
