Damn these write-ups are good. Elazer became a somebody to me now.

not to be rude but I would rather love to see SOS, Maru, Classic or Ryung at Blizzcon than a guy might not get a single game win. Hence, this tournament should be named Korean vs World instead of World Championship

From what I know three out of four you mentioned would have 0% chance to win against him.

In HOTS, he mentioned that his dream is to become EU Life in LOTV, he adjusted his play into more polish Zerg style
I think he might pull out something in Blisscon considering that he hasn't been in final at all this year

are you serious ? All of four players i mentioned would kill him like a piece of cake, Maru might be the weakest but we all know how strong the Koreans in big tournament. Let me ask you: how many people thought Maru could win against Nerchio in Kespa cup considering his bad performance recently ?

Yes, I'm serious. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure of that. Nevertheless, TY and Solar are at the moment better than these players.

Nevertheless, TY and Solar are at the moment better than these players. Agreed, Elazer would destroy Maru like it's nothing. I know maru beat nerchio but that was just luck and elazer is better than Nerchio anyways. Also sOs is bad, he got destroyed in the GSL finals, this would have never happened to elazer. Classic wouldn't even be a challenge for Elazer. the only one from this list that might have a chance would be Ryung as he beat him in TBs tournament, but In a bo3/bo5 things might look different.

LOL, the Korean scene is declining and some people think the GSL finalist is bad just because he lost against the best player. It's fine, always good to have a dream mates, good luck for your awesome foreigners at Blizzcon. Let's dream as long as you can.

I just noticed that there is only two terrans.... which could mean that they under prepare for them. Ok who am i kidding this is TY and Byun lol no one will underestimate them.

He always seemed like a cool calm guy to me. I might for ever be an mlord fanboy, but Elazer I believe in you, keep grinding!
PS: anyone agree that reading this about Elazer is basically what we could have read about snute in 2014/15? Always grinding, always playing, slowly improving, but never stopping? I think they are very simililar players (although snute is way more defensive, its very impressive clear cut macro, solid micro and a clear cut game plan. Elazer lacks in multitask and engagement preparation, snute in stability).
Definitely a lot of similarities with regards to work ethic and grinding games, except that in 2014-2015, Snute was one of the best foreigners. Also, with regards to Elazer, I don't know the full stats (like if qualifiers were not placed onto aligulac), but he had a fairly low win rate against Koreans, and he only won a few games at a time against Koreans (and sometimes the Koreans were not very high level).
But of course, now, he is one of the best foreigners who can go head to head against most lower Code S Koreans.

I would say those players all would have a >55% chance of beating Elazer at Blizzcon, that's just a guess but it's better than saying 0% chance

Elazer is in a group with 2 Zergs, so honestly his chance to get out of the group and turn some heads is not terribad. I imagine the groups are not played on the Blizzcon stage, so nerves which would otherwise be a huge deal for this guy, might not even be a factor until the ro8 where he would then proceed to most likely lose. If I were to give him a title similar to the Invisible Star, it would be: The Perfect Practice Partner. He keeps a very honest and good mindset for improvement. He also doesn't seem to mind doing the same build for a map over and over again and has good mechanics so he can imitate any style.

The can't be no hype for a Blizzcon player. We shall see all 16 of them deliver!

Oh These are back! Thanks TL for the upcoming amazing 16 articles!

Of course of course of course. But the truth is the current skill counts and its not a best of one. Now first stage is best of 3 and even if you believe Elazer is an underdog anything can happen, by your own words.
