Playing the winner of Hurricane/Rogue should be very doable. And then sOs/Maru/Solar is also okay.
Completely avoids Dark and Classic.
sOs is definitely not okay. But he should make it to the semis rather easily, yeah.
Yeah but that would be in the semis. In a tournament as stacked as this one it's hard to see how much better it could be. In the end you're going to have to play the best. If those are Classic, Dark, and sOs, I don't see how it could be better.
But definite hoping Solar or Maru takes sOs out first.

Can't see Maru doing it but Solar has looked on point (But who know how long til he derps). TY vs Solar would be nice.

He was amazing in game 2, but in all the other games Rogue outsmarted him and outplayed him rather easily. Rogue has TYs number so I knew he would beat him but I expected TY to pull out more resistance than he did to be honest...
I dunno, she also beat Bunny, whose TvZ is usually too good for any foreign Zerg to beat. TY's TvZ is definitely a bit weak atm but Scarlett's performance looks strong on paper.
I figure TY in the group stages TY will shift gears though, like he did for IEM Katowice when he suddenly dominated his group after a bunch of weaker performances.
He also played in Olimoleague but lost to Bunny whom he beat to get into GSL. I'd find that a bit concerning, but after watching the games, TY held all the cards in all 3 games and just didn't really capitalize on them to the best of his ability. And he definitely gave up a bit early in the last game.

Hope you're right! He always seems to have these matches here and there where he just collapses. The way he exited GSL last season comes to mind as well.
The super tournaments have been extraordinarily bad though, it really hasn't been his tournament so far.

It's the hardest group overall but there isn't a player in it that's actually favoured against him. He avoided guys like Classic, Stats, Dark, Rouge, Maru, Inno etc.
