Do i read the bracket right with my man lecaf OZ - Sky qualifying?
Edit: i do not lol, I checked when the final match were 0-0 and thought both advanced. Still a good run
|
So staked, all the very top players have already qualified, with the exception of Flash who didnt played. Lets hope for players like Speed, Mong, Motive, Sacrsi, Ample, Shine, Action, Ruin, Ss1nZ, 815, ZeLoT, YSC, Shuttle, ggaemo and yoon to qualify on day 2. And to some extent, beast, PianO, Mighty, Rich, soso, Hm, Spire, Bishop, Leta and hyun
Edit: i also hope for an upset like ForGG, MC, firebathero, Midas or even Pusan lol
|
If Flash doesn't play tomorrow, i don't even know what was the point of all this coming back to ladder.

Edit: i also hope for an upset like ForGG, MC, firebathero, Midas or even Pusan lol Forgg lost in the first round vs an amateur. Shuttle lost vs Piano which is slightly surprising because PianO is rusty and didn't prepare that much. But then again, Shuttle is currently probably at the lowest activity he's ever been. Not in terms of how much he streams but how much he actually plays. Mong was eliminated by Bono which... doesn't come as a surprise because Bono is very strong in TvT. Mighty and Ssinz are banned from participating.
Highest odds I'd place on: Action, Speed, Ruin, Shine, Motive, Sacsri, Mong, Beast, Shuttle, Scan, Ssak, Quickly(ACS winner so gets a final).
But it really depends on who they get in their group. If any of the above get grouped together it will all change.
Edit: Just noticed I forgot Ample, HiyA, Killer in my predictions... eh we'll see tomorrow. There's probably going to be an upset qualification in either Noel, Rich or Quickly.

Yeah i also forgot sSak and Killer. They should be able to qualify. Thing is, i feel like they are the kind of players who almost have no chance to reach RO8. So thats less interesting. As oppose to the likes of Action, Shine, Sacsri and Ample. And even if they never reached a RO8, players like Ruin, Motive and Speed can expect to go far also

Man return of Flash would have been so hype. But no stream, no qualifier
|
Ssak, Mong, Shine, Action, Shuttle will have the best seeding and likely qualify tomorrow.
The rest fight for the remaining 7 spots as usual. Although I suspect they will somehow sneak Sea into ASL once again.

Still a good run If you're talking about 조하늘, that's certainly not Sky. Sky got caught matchfixing in 2017 so he's banned. This guy also played in the ACS qualifiers so it's an Amateur (Also Sky is only 하늘)

Nobody will "sneak" Sea into ASL He is playing better than most of the people in that list, despite being barely active. Or should i say inactive.

Sad hearing about IntoTheRain, he looked healthy always.
Is FlaSh scared to play on qualifiers because he's not in his former form and afraid to get eliminated and ppl will never forget if that happens? There's no other explanation.
|
Not a fun explanation, but spitting facts. He obviously has a lot to lose at this point, and judging by the time he took to get back to BW again after the crypto scandal, when his reputation is on the line, Flash is nowhere to be found.
|
Day 2 Groups are starting. Noteworthy names in the available groups as of this moment: Group 1: YSC and Hani/Soso..... this group seems.... too easy for either of these two... extremely understacked group. Group 2: Shine and Piano. Again a group with very few challenges for the two chosen two. Piano has a disgustingly good TvZ, While Shine has the better track record. Piano can take this and knock Shine out, but the odds are in favor of Shine. Edit: ZeloT is in group 2. missed him. Group 3: not available yet.
|
PianO is extremely under-rated, always been, but he can't be a contender. ZeLoT and Shine, with their unique style, are likely to upset or, at least, create some fun games. I hope to see Shine advances, if not, go ZeLoT.
|
Is MC the bosstoss playing? I want him to win some sc1 games.
|
Any insights from our Korean folk here about Flash not playing? Seems he’d easily do it. Is he worried about not feeling good enough yet to compete or about the public reaction he’ll cop coming out of the crypto scandal?
