EPTThere’s not a single boring Ro16 match. So hype even though I’m gonna have to force my impatient self to not check the scores so I can watch VODs when I wake up due to this taking place in the middle of the night for me.

Wax you have him predicted to beat the best Zerg player in the world, best Terran player in the World, and 2 of the top 3 Protoss players in the world. That's just not realistic. Well TY is the second best terran, so having him beat the #3 and #2 best protoss is not outlandish. And Serral might be the best zerg, but isn't close to being the best ZvT player. TY vs Maru is 50/50, usually I'd only favour Maru over TY in terms of championship mentality. But even then it's a weekender so I wouldn't expect either to win. Fun fact: since the start of 2017 every time Maru and TY have played it's gone to the ace match | ||

So I present, the worst bracket  Dark 3-1 ElazersoO 2-3  TIMEMaru 3-2  StatsNeeb 3-2 ShoWTimESerral 2-3 TYTrap 3-0 HeRoMaRinESpeCial 3-1 ReynorClassic 2-3 FanTaSyDark 2-3 TIMEMaru 3-0 NeebTY 3-1 Trap SpeCial 3-2 FanTaSyTIME 1-3 MaruTY 3-1 SpeCialMaru 2-3 TYThe least likely parts of this are Fantasy beating Classic and Time’s deep run. My explanation is that I really liked Times play at ASUS Rog and that Fantasy is going to return to form any day now. I think the rest is all pretty likely. | ||

Also in B4 soO stomps Time 3-0. He got pretty lucky vs Serral and people are making too much of one series. | ||

Prediction: Neeb vs soO Neeb wins 4:3 Neeb is the 3rd beat WCS Circuit player but he hasn't looked dominant in any match up and he hasn't beaten a Korean since March 2nd. While I would like to see him do well, there is absolutely no reason to think he goes further than the ro8. | ||

Then the 2 good Terrans at the event are drawn vs their hardest opponants (dark would have been hard for them too). Dark is given ZvZ vs EU zerg Classic & Trap get easy match-ups The 2 ~weaker protosses are drawn vs each other guaranteeing one goes through. It reminds me a bit of Asus ROG where Protoss sent their more of their best and less of their worst and got to sucseed through that. Now the draw helps them. I hope it doesn't lead to balance complaining since balance is pretty good and Protoss had been winning less before ROG. | ||
