He netted $140K at Blizzcon alone last year. How much have you made off Starcraft in your entire life?
Edit: The original comment asks why people assume soO will beat Dark. The answer is simple: soO's roach vs. roach is the best in the world - or at least has been for quite some time.

Good one. People don't expect me to beat Dark.

TL writer should write an article highlighting the three best games performed by TY this year. All of them are memorable.

Dark, Serral, soO, and Rogue are the top zergs right now. They are fairly even in skill. The fact that soO has lose to Dark doesn't change that - they are in the same skill bracket.

Amazing that Solar has a good shot.

Oh look I was right about soO.

From elsewhere, the current standings for Blizzcon going into tomorrow:
On September 29 2018 22:21 Yonnua wrote: Group A at Blizzcon is Maru, Neeb, Lambo and either Zest or TY.
Group B at Blizzcon is Serral, Heromarine, either Zest or Dark, and either sOs or Solar.
Group C at Blizzcon is Stats, Has, Showtime and either Dark or Rogue.
Group D at Blizzcon is Classic, Nerchio, Special, and either TY or Rogue.
1-3 are now locked in, Dark is the only one who can climb higher from within the top 8. If he wins the SF, he doesn't gain anything, if he wins overall, he moves up to 4th. Therefore, there are only 2 scenarios for 1-7, and only two options for 8th.

Actually TY is locked 4th, he just for some reason does not have the 225 points for ST2 in the standings on liquipedia. So Dark can only get 5th at best

He doesn't get the points- he didn't win any matches in Super Tournament or in qualifying for the ST (because he automatically qualified through GSL). He and Maru only got the points if they won their first match. Because TY didn't, he doesn't get any points from ST.

The principle is that you need to earn all the points you get- TY's method of qualification already gave him points, so he doesn't also earn the points that the other earned through the qualifying bracket. If he won a match in ST, he would have earned his place there and therefore would get the full point score (like Maru did).
It's a very niche rule because usually GSL finalists are able to win in the first round anyway.

If Dark wins this tournament then GL to Serral lol.
I guess foreigner fans can find solace in the fact that if Dark wins Neeb gets Zest instead of TY in his group. But Zest sometimes plays up to his skill ceiling so while it's more comforting to get him it doesn't really promise anything. You could still get bopped.

Neeb gets TY- at least it's someone he's had lots of experience practising for and who he's played against on the biggest stage. Hopefully he'll iron out the issues that lost him the GSL semifinals. If he does, Lambo shouldn't be a challenge for him and he should be able to make the Ro8.

Well the problem is that TY and Neeb prepared really, really hard against against each other, so they both know how the other players plays.
