On the previous patch, I would have picked Rogue to get out of this group no matter what. Second, this is the first time we're seeing Rogue in major competition after the balance patch. First, Rogue was not tested much in ZvP at Katowice, so it is hard to gauge how he would do versus a strong PvZ player like Zoun. ZvZ won't be an issue for him in this group, so there's just a couple of key things to consider in this group with two Protosses and one Terran. He kept on beating Terrans with victories over Ryung and Bunny in the playoffs, before getting swept by a conquering Serral in the semifinals. He dominated his group stage with wins over Cure, Dream, Neeb, and Spirit, only losing to Solar in a ZvZ. Rogue had a strong showing at Katowice, going all the way to the final four. The two haven't played each other much since they're rarely involved in the same tiers of competition, but unsurprisingly Rogue has defeated NightMare in all six of their past meetings with a total map record of 13W - 1L.

Rogue is the clear favorite in his opening match versus NightMare with Aligulac giving him almost a 79% chance to win the BO3. Group C Preview: Rogue, NightMare, ByuN, Zoun Start time: Monday, Mar 28 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) More info: GSL Code S Season 1 on Liquipedia
