IM's not a KeSPA team. Also the whole Fenix being a member of Incredible Miracle was always a rather weird thing to me, with Fenix seemingly not having anything to do with IM to the point where people were wondering if he had left IM with him sporadically showing up to tournaments with an IM jersey.

Ah, the good old days when we had eSF teams and KeSPA teams, instead of foreign teams and ex-SKT.

Assuming the same format as 2016 Blizzcon, which is also GSL format, Ro8 will be: Group A 1st vs Group B 2nd Group C 1st vs Group D 2nd Group D 1st vs Group C 2nd Group B 1st vs Group A 2nd Therefore, the earliest point that a player from Group A could play a player from Group D would be in the Ro4.
2016 blizzcon had the ro8 randomly selected on stream. The only rules being each match would be a 1st vs a 2nd iirc?

I think Ro8 or Ro4 will be full of Korean Players.It isn't different between GSL and WCS global finals, not interesting in this games.

Nerchio is FAR more consistent than Special though, and as you mentioned, his ZvZ is never to be underestimated

Thing is nerchio has been conistant this year, but never at the top. SpeCial has been inconsistant but looked very strong at his peaks
