This was hard. There are more foreigners that I think has a great shot at winning, but I believe that Trap will continue his reign, that TY will use trickery and macro, or ByuN performing a miracle from home.

With the current meta, a protoss is the massive favorite and Showtime should definitely not winning this.

Voted rest of the world because I have faith in Serral, but honestly considering only one non-korean looks to be in championship form it'll probably be a Korean (though I wouldn't count Reynor out if he bounces back or Clem if he gets a bracket full of TvZ)

Korea is much more likely to win than the rest of the world. At the end of the day there's still only two non-Koreans who have been able to win international events anytime recent, and they've mostly been winning the ones where the Koreans are a smaller fraction of the field. Korea just has more tournament contenders.

What is the point of a screenshoot?
Here you say a KR will win, in another post you can say a foreigner will win.
In the end you just show the screenshoot according to the winner...
So a screenshoot has 0 value.

I think the 60/40% ratio on the poll right now is actuality pretty accurate. There's a solid chance that Serral or Reynor take the win, and an outside but still decent hope in Clem, but I think the Korean field has the edge right now. Good voting everyone!

I think out of 18 koreans, at least half of them are championship contender

TY has had the best year of them all, I hope he can carry it through, since I don't think my Zergs are gonna make it all the way
Still if DRG makes it to the main stage I'll be happy. His bracket looks so coinflippy though with potentially both has and sos :D

New blood from EU is certainly the best non-KR has come.
Best to stop this ridiculous region comparison (which are man-made imaginary lines anyway).

Best game in the tournament is a better topic to talk about.
