The lower bracket will be interesting, I'm curious what TY and Maru can come up with against Trap's solid play and Dear's god like PvT. | ||

Dear is in form this season and is on a strong PvT streak while Maru seems to have descended from his god-tier from last year so things should be a bit more even. | ||

According to TY, Dear is the best PvT and Maru the best TvP so it should be a good match-up (his words, not mine). But he favors Dear. | ||

Then again Maru and Dear are historically very close in games and usually produce good matches | ||

i wouldn't favor him against a zerg, but i wouldn't count him out either - preparation and nerves count for a lot in a finals | ||

Dear might have gotten rekt by herO but so has Trap and their most recent encounter ended up being a 2-0 for Dear. | ||

Pretty scary... I guess we are going to see a lot of proxies from Maru. | ||

I guess we are going to see a lot of proxies from Maru. i dunno, i think Maru does whatever he thinks is the best play at the time - it's well known he isn't "afraid" when he proxies, if anything he's more confident than he should be although i'm not a fan he has proven that he can absolutely incinerate anyone in a macro game when he shows up on fire. the fact that dear is the scariest opponent only makes for better starcraft imo | ||

Trap is the next biggest underdog out of the 8, but his side of the bracket looks nice for him in terms of eye test - a Terran when he's been dominating Terrans and then either another Terran or a Protoss with bad PvP. But whether Trap makes good on that remains to be seen, Terran or not he's gonna have his hands full with TY I think.

Fun fact, so far Dear has won every GSL where Trap made it to the Ro8 and they were in the same side of the bracket as well | ||
