Elazer plays a fairly standard, stable style. Noregret is a complete wild card and no one knows exactly how he's going to play. Gumiho probably wants an opponent who plays a style he can prepare for.

Still, Scarlett, MajOr and Elazer have somewhat reasonable chances at making it out of their groups in second. Denominator of the Universe

All of them are going up against top-tier Koreans in the first round. So they're fighting from the loser's match right from the start.



Despite that, it would not be unimaginable for Scarlett/MajOr/Elazer to make it out in second. All of them are going up against top-tier Koreans in the first round.

I'd say all of them have a varying degree of chance of beating their first round opponent. How often does the guy who just won GSL look kind of meh in the next Ro32? Elazer could certainly do it, and it's not like Scarlett's never beaten INnovation before. I'd say all of them have a varying degree of chance of beating their first round opponent.

You have a good point about Gumiho, it's entirely possible that he rests on his laurels and slumps big-time; we've seen it in the past after all. But even in that case he has a long way to slump before Elazer can beat him.



But Scarlett beating INnoVation, offline at the GSL? Inno has dropped an online game here or there, yes, but the man is no idiot and he's played Scarlett more than enough times to figure out that she likes to cheese. Obviously she isn't NoRegret but playing Inno in a macro game as Zerg is a losing proposition no matter who you are. Nothing is impossible of course, but I'd say Scarlett has the worst chance to win her first round match out of all the foreigners, NoRegret included (because herO hasn't played NoRegret a ton and there's a chance he gets cheesed).



Classic has the best PvT of any Protoss, and Time isn't TY with the best TvP (even if he were I would still favor Classic). MajOr against his idol, the guy he copies, is a forgone conclusion. And NoRegret I already addressed.





If the Koreans (all champions of various Premier tournaments) take their matches seriously, there's a very, very slim chance indeed that the foreigners can win their first matches. They are quite simply outclassed, to put it bluntly. Best chance for them is to hope the Koreans get overconfident and slack off.
