Canata with his SKT ZvT builds. He is just as dangerous as Fantasy, just see his qualification games+ he always had A-class TvT. Backho and Yarnc are likely to upset too.
|
I voted Canata
|
Btw plexa what are our royal road candidates for this OSL?
|

Kwanro, type-b, and ZerO are Royal Road candidates.
Voted BackHo.

Arnc for sure. Best chance vs. Flash and decent enough ZvZ to pull out a win. All his games with Jaedong are always close

I can see Canata and go.go advancing.
|
Canata and go.go seem most plausible; but yeah, I'm going to jump on the BackHo bandwagon for this one.
|
Why is Group A so fucking good? Really, it's ridiculous why would they do that?! Do they want to get the best players out so early? The only consolation I can take is that both Effort and Jeadong are easily able to dispatch of YarnC.

Canata has been playing really well lately, voted him. Although...Type-b did luck out with a group that completely sucks vZ.
|
Though i hate to say due to him being in savior's group. Canata has been doing rather well lately and will prolly have practiced rather well for this.
|
Backho? He upsets everyone.
|
i voted none but i think Canata has the best chance to do so...
|
type-b for sure. I think he is usually underrated.
|
I feel like they all have shots at qualifying (maybe Yarnc the least of all because of the ridiculousness of EffOrt/Jaedong/Flash) Voted Canata though, turtle power (just don't knock out Kwanro >:O )
|
Backho is playing pretty solid. I think he has a good chance get the second spot on his group.

what the hell, type-b is at 8%? dont you people watch starcraft?
|
|
Backho easily. Hes easily the best player that doesn't get onto our favorite list because of all the fails he had.
|
|
Voted type-b, most realistic chance imo.
|
BackHo's about to prove that Fantasy's just had a lucky streak.
Yes I understand this will be viewed as an ironic comment.

super daniel man?

+ Show Spoiler +Hahaha fantasy just kicked the shit out of Leta and Movie and looked damn good doing it. There's no way backho will be able to stand up to him.
Poor Yarnc is against the 3 best players right now (minus bisu) and they are all very very strong against Z. There's absolutely no way he is getting past any one of them, never mind two.

Canata for me. As long as theres no protoss in that group, he stands a decent shot the way he's been playing lately.
|
Gogo Canata. Let's hope he's over his nerves.
|
what if Kwanro advances... o.O
|

Backho is going to ez his group.
|
Voted go.go, I can pretty easily imagine him topping an inconsistent Hwasin and Zero (Hwasin's only consitently strong vs. Zerg, of which there's only 1 in the group).
Backho is a close second, Canata third. I think Leta is a shoo-in in group D, and I have trouble seeing Canata qualifying over both zergs - 1 yes, both unlikely, but possible.
Yarnc is just going to get slaughtered in Group A IMO, which really speaks to just how insane that group is. I'm expecting 2-1 2-1 2-1 0-3 tiebreakers between Jaedong/Flash/Effort.

YellOw[ArnC]'s ZvZ isn't that bad, and he's consistently one of, if not the best ZvT players.
|
i voted go.go. everytime bisu makes an easy group for himself, he epicly fails
|
BackHo's not even an upset, he WILL qualify.
|
Backho, or Canata
Backho most likely, won't even be a surprise, he's a good player, but sometimes, he acts stupid... yah know? Canata on the other hand, as long as there is no toss, hes got a good chance
|
type-b when he win, his game is aggressive and speedy and fun to watch. Nothing to lose, he can do it !

It isn't "that bad" which would be enough against anyone besides Jaedong and Effort right now... too bad that's exactly who he has to play against.
|
I actually wouldn't call it an upset, if canata gets through. He seems to be his former self again and that meens he is almost equal to kwanro and zero who both showd some inconsistency. I still voted backho because i dont trust fantasy as much as many others appearantly do and stork had a pretty tough time against him as well.

Yeah I don't quite get why anybody would pick him, when he's in the group with the two best ZvZers and the best Terran in the world right now.

lol @ ppl thinking yarnc will take a game
|
group a is the group of death im choked flash is on it its gonna be rough
|
Ha, Canata got picked last (or rather didn't get picked at all). Voted Canata, he gonna make them pay for that insult.

lets not forget that canata super upset against failho

I wouldn't be surprised if BackHo makes it out of his group really.
|
I agree, don't see how BackHo would be an upset.
|
voted canata.... really thinking he will destroy my dreams of savior furfilling his promise and destroy everyone, its 2009 just destroy them all, i bet ur not playinh for the PL to train but come on, destroy them all!
|
backho always ruins my liquibet, so him imo.
|
Huh, i took Yarnac only beacuse i'm a fan of all Sparkyz players, but then i saw his group, with both Jaedong, Flash AND Effort... yikes. That's the group of death right there.
|
I think Hwsain has the best chance to advance.
|
looks like the most balanced poll i've ever seen :o
|
effort PICKED jaedong -.-

Not sure where all the Backho hype is coming from. I really don't think his group is all that easy for him, in fact he might have drawn one of the worst possible groups for him.
A zerg player = Backho screwed cause he's awful versus zerg. I seriously think his biggest shot at a win in the group is over Stork.
Fantasy's been playing rock solid lately, especially vs zergs and protosses, so I expect him to 2-1 and advance along with Stork.
Canata on the other hand has a great possibility of going 3-0 in his group, even with Leta there. Canata's shown some nice solid mech play TvZ, and his TvT, while very bothersome to watch, produces solid results. It wouldn't surprise me if Canata went 3-0 or 2-1 and made it out of his group with ease.
Yarnc got royally screwed. While I utterly despise him, I can't help but feel sorry that he got picked by Flash to be in the group of death. Type-B i give no chance unless he can somehow make his group go to 1-2 tiebreakers because I don't think he'll take a game unless it's off Backho.
go.go sucks. End of story. Look for the pesky looking rat to go 0-3 and get destroyed by "Insurance", who advances 2-1 in the group.
|
go.go will upset, mark my words.
|
|
Really, no one believes in type-B, all he has to Backho (who's PvZ is the most interesting form of garbage) and either Fantasy in a ZvT (which really I don't think he's that good at the Mu) or Stork who's okay PvZ. He's good dammit!
|
Backho's in a rich vein of form lately (for him), the only PvZs he's lost have been to July.

Stork will roll Type-B. The guy played like garbage vs. Best to get to this point. The guy was able to lose off 6-7 gas, by engaging mass mutas + scourge vs mass corsair. I seriously question his decision making after that. Surely no one can be that much of a failure.
Fantasy will roll Type-B. Type-B ain't Jaedong.

Effort did the same thing, happens to the best of them.

Canata would not be an upset <3<3<3<3

Voted go.go . He has momentum, going through the wildcard tournament, a great showing of skill.

How did go.go beat bisu? I think there were performance enhancing drugs involved

BACKHOOOOO
1. fantasy 2. backho in group B

OMG canata in sweet sixteen, what has this world come too. The constant loser will not make it out from his group and break his long lasting curse.
Voted go.go
|
type-b has been playing impressive lately, he gets my vote.

Sadly all underdogs in that poll qualified. Only one missing is the top pick Backho, how ironic.
