Most of those I'd frankly not favor against him in best of 3 anyway. It's just key TY does well this season, because if he doesn't he's gonna fall off hard in the race for Blizzcon.
Maybe worth noting Impact beat Inno & Gumiho in BTSL, so if he brings that form to GSL the first match could be pretty intense.

His most recent result is losing 0-2 to KeeN in the same Olimoleague TY won. So my estimate would be worse than TY's.
TY wins the Memes & Dreams Invitational. 3-1 over SpeCial in Ro8, 3-1 over Leenock in Ro4 and 4-3 over Solar in finals. Not too shabby at all. Finals were really fun.

Thanks! Looks good. Like the players casting.
Posting VODs here since they don't seem to be listed elsewhere.

There is also an excellent winners interview with TY in which Stats is supposed to translate, but doesn't, because apparently TY is getting quite good at English.
Here one can get the answers to such interesting questions as who TY thinks are the most handsome progamers, and if you should really make 111 workers in a TvT :D
TY's group coming up tomorrow. Not looking easy tbh.
Impact just beat Ryung and Innovation in Olimoleague before falling 3-4 to Gumiho in the finals. If TY was watching there were plenty of games to study.
Yeah this is not good at all. What is it with TY and groups of death lately?
Dark is always difficult - TY still has only beaten him in a single Bo3+ in LOTV. Classic has the best PvT in the world. And the easiest opponent on paper, Trap, is in good form and the balance in the matchup tips his way.
Hopefully the Viking and Marauder buffs will help in TvP. And, on a good day, TY will beat anybody.

His chance is much better than just 5 percent. He's favored against Trap still, and Trap could knock out either Classic or Dark for him.
Beating Dark in the winner's match is TY's best chance of getting out of the group, but it is actually less likely than you'd think based on recent form.
TY cant win against Dark since too many time, and we dont really know how good he is nowadays, but we know that Dark is the best zerg ( or at least top2).

He should be able to defeat Classic and Trap tho
Classic's PvT stats are about as flawless as Dark's ZvT stats.
The thing is, TY is good enough to do better than Dark/Classic/Trap in any given tournament without it being a suprise.
But h2h I don't favour him against any of these guys. Dark always has his number, Classic isn't being beaten in PvT, and I can't imagine Trap's PvT being much weaker either.
