Do NOT let this thread derail into a Maru vs Serral discussion. Serral is not even in this tournament. There is no reason to be discussing Maru vs Serral right now.

Looking at the names of the players, these groups seem stronger than recent ro32's in the GSL. But that does depend a lot on how well these former stars perform.



Note the odd broadcast days. Groups are played on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays in a very compressed schedule.

I hope fantasy wins this season. Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

EDIT: I should say I know Afreeca.TW has players

They signed teamless players that did well in the team league. KeeN, aLive and DRG I think.



E: Also, unlike previous seasons, the runner-up and champion didn't get to choose their first opponent in the Ro32. They signed teamless players that did well in the team league.

Obligatory predictions:

Group A: Probably going to be Dark and Dear getting out, but KeeN can be super clutch so you can't really count him out. It would be devastating for Dear to be stuck in ro32 2 seasons in a row though...



Group B: Classic has improved his PvZ to the such a level that I really can't see him not getting out. Second pick would be Trap probably.



Group C: Oh man what a group! Brain says Stats and Gumiho, heart says MC and Cure



Group D: This is a group where I normally would say sOs and Solar 100% but Bunny has looked insane for the last couple of months (HSC etc. etc.) and PartinG has had countless deep runs in online cups. Honestly can't say, maybe sOs and Bunny?



Group E: The good ol' fight for the second place scenario. For now I will go with Maru and herO, but I'm waiting for Scarlett to prove me wrong



Grop F: 2 clear favorites in soO and INno who have played each other in a best of series more times than I have lived days, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of them drop to Creator, his series vs TY can't not be taken into account.



Group G: Probably my favorite group, mainly because there's an extremely high chance that either FanTaSy (accompanied with again, insane online results+ST2 appearance) or Leenocktopus himself advance.



Group H: Underwhelming prediction saved for last, but I really can't see Patience or aLive advancing over Zest and Rogue. (inb4 Patience wins group)

[Edit]



Just saw Stats in the group. I have a good feeling about season 2 *whistles a tune*. **@ YT: SC2POVs at https://www.youtube.com/c/SC2POVsTV | SC2 First-person POV archive of 7,500+ VODs @**
