It was a hard group to predict overall tbf. First group went more as expected, group B was always gonna be close to call. Still surprised to see Light not make it, especially losing a BO3 vs a zerg on that map pool.
One day good. One day bad. And some days, even hope

yeah, I'm surprised he lost 0-2 vs Larva, and I'm a bit surprised best beat Action. Best and light going 2-2 over 4 games isn't surprising, but best winning his pvz and light losing his tvz wasn't expected. Still, it was indeed a very close group. The Flash group is almost equally unpredictable simply because of Flash's random (Free getting top 2 is very unlikely even then tho), but usually, groups are less even skill wise than what the case was here.
Some fun matches that group, esp the Best vs Light bo1 game. Unfortunate Action couldn't play better, he seemed a bit off against Best, and I thought he would be a small favorite ZvZ against Larva too. And sucks Light's marine blocked his scvs game 2 vs Larva
Really strange by Light to allow the gas steal in both games vs Best. Thoughts? Seems like he could have stopped both of them. And then the early push, I get it, Best is a macro god and he didn't want to give him freedom to get up to 10+ gates, but whenever I see Light playing his best TvP, I tend to see him get 3 bases, 2/1+ upgrades and then make a huge clos to 200/200 push that overwhelms the protoss and just continues to steamroll before protoss can resupply troops. Was weird to see him rush out an early push game 2 and just lose the game almost immediately.
Oh well, I'm ok with it as a protoss player, nice to see some PvX series, but I'd have preferred Larva/Light make it through cause they both have a chance to make a run in the knockout stage and I don't really see Best being capable if there are many zergs through.
Now LFG Random Flash
NewbSaibot: 18 TIMES THE SPEED OF LIGHT. Because FUCK YOU, Daut
Yet the books have him at +113 or so, depending where you look. Soft line or do the books see something I don't?
Oh and the match is going to be on Sakura's Temple. 13 - 9 for Z. That's a very small sample tho.

Light beat Zero 7-2 today.
I think the bookies are pretty bad at setting odds and go based on reputation or 'overall skill level' rather than matchup/map specific odds. Snow has a slightly bigger name, but I would be inclined to agree that Hero is the favorite. Again, not by a lot, bo1s between players at this level are almost always highly volatile.
