So as soon as I saw the predictions bit in-between the second and third games of this GSL's opener, I couldn't help but wonder which teams predictions turn out better: GomTV's Jung-Won Che and Dae-Man Park, or our very own TeamLiquid GSL writers =)

+ Show Spoiler [The Groups and Picks] +

Group A: Nestea, Maka, TheBest, Polt
JWC: Nestea advances, Maka/Polt 50% chance each (clearly cheating.)
DMP: Nestea and Maka
TLW (Xxio): Nestea and Maka

Group B: FruitDealer, Jookto, Zenio, MVP
JWC: Zenio and MVP
DMP: FruitDealer and MVP
TLW (Xxio): FruitDealer and MVP

Group C: TheWind, Hyperdub, Boxer, HongUn
JWC: Boxer and HongUn
DMP: Boxer and HongUn
TLW (Xxio): Boxer and TheWind

Group D: Kyrix, Rain, Tester, Choya
JWC: Kyrix and Tester
DMP: Kyrix and Rain
TLW (Tree): Rain and Choya

Group E: Leenock, Rainbow, Anypro, Genius
JWC: Leenock and Rainbow
DMP: Rainbow and Genius
TLW (Tree): Rainbow and Leenock

Group F: Nada, San, Inca, MC
JWC: Nada and MC
DMP: MC and Inca
TLW (True): Nada and MC

Group G: LiveForever, MarineKing, Clide, LegalMind
JWC: MarineKing and LegalMind
DMP: MarineKing and LegalMind
TLW (True): MarineKing and Clide

Group H: Ensnare, Check, Jinro, Idra
JWC: Idra and Check
DMP: Ensnare and Check
TLW (True): Idra and Jinro


So what does this show... Other than tonights games are the first that could actually separate the writers from Dae-Man Park, there is an unsurprising amount of variety in the three groups of picks.


In this spoiler are the results and prediction scores each day:

+ Show Spoiler [Group Results] +
Group A Nestea and TheBest advance
+1 for everyone, and despite JWC effectively picking 3 of the 4 people, no one saw TheBest making it out.

Group B MVP and Zenio advance
In a startling loss of the first GSL open champion, only JWC correctly called this group, DMP and TLW both only knowing MVP was too strong for anyone in B.

Group C Boxer and Hyperdub advance
Things were looking grim for the writers as HongUn began pumping out void rays, but Hyperdub managed to surprise all 3 predictions. The Emperor was certainly looking strong today, but apparently we all knew it was coming.

Group D Choya and Tester/ssks/Trickster advance
DMP stumbled today, both GOM analysts believing Kyrix would make it through, Tree moving the writers into a solo 2nd spot and still one point striking distance behind JWC. Tomorrow offers DMP a chance at redemption however as JWC and Tree have the same picks.

Group E Genius and Rainbow advance
Leenock gets tank pushed and 4 gated out of the Ro32, throwing JWC and the writers for a loop, but not DMP who puts himself right back into the hunt falling in step with the writers who are still just one point behind JWC.

Group F MC and Nada advance
In a thrilling game 3 and dominating game 5, Nada advanced past his teammate Inca in a spirit crushing fashion. DMP also had the wind knocked out of him, once again falling to third as both JWC and I nailed both predictions today.

Group G Clide and MarineKing advance
Clide won the group handily after a solid win against MarineKing, and LegalMind couldn't help but shoot himself in the foot after nearly stealing the second spot. Slightly more interesting than the games last night is the writers have now pulled even with JWC and are tied for the lead! Its a storybook ending as we head into the last group. Jinro and Idra FIGHTING!

Group H Idra and Jinro advance
You know our boys advanced, and in incredibly epic fashion. In what was easily the closest group of this round all four players brought their A game and provided one of most exciting and inspiring nights of SC2 thus far. Jinro made things more interesting than they should have been after a failed wall in game 2, but in the end Check and Ensnare could not find their way into the Ro16 despite their tremendously strong efforts. Oh yeah and the writers called it spot on to clinch the solo top spot.


Will the writing team prevail or are we simply chobos, failing in comparison to a fake scientist and man who wears wigs? Are the writers lost without the input of Lovedrop? Or are we all confused, but you know how it is? Only time will tell!

Final score:
TLW: 11
JWC: 10
DMP: 7

The TL Writers proved they know their stuff better than the GOM analysts, correctly calling an impressive 11/16 (68.75%) advancing players. JWC was only a single pick behind, but poor DMP with only 7/16 failed to outperform the average monkey.

When you need some analysts GOM let us know, we'll be waiting on those contracts. =)

Interesting that neither JWC nor DMP see Jinro making it out of Group H despite his very strong showing last season. Is there some reason for their choices beyond just ethnocentrism?

TL writers gonna call these like its nobody's business. But yeah, I think this is a very interesting thing to compare. If the TL writers do end up with around the same score as the analysts, then it really says something good about the TL writers staff. =P

JWC is looking strong imo. Also I think his bet Kyrix and Tester are correct from group D. But we'll see

We got this. Shame that JWC copied my Group E predictions though.

Maybe, but it's a pretty evenly matched group, and JWC did predict Idra to advance.

Things are heating up, with only a couple more days to go DMP is now unable to overcome JWC. The writers have 2 opportunities to surge forward or fall behind. Was betting with the english commentators the fatal flaw of the writers? Can Jinro superhero not only for his own code S tournament but the writer's pride as well? Tune in to the GSL for these exciting last couple days and make sure to find out!

I bet JWC has a decent Liquidbet right now lol.
Nevertheless, TL writers fighting! 2 chances to beat the Korean commentators left, and I hope for the best.

Does it get any better than this? I know I couldn't write anything this good =) After accusations of bias and always being behind JWC the TL writers are now on the move, laying it all on the line in support of our foreigner heroes. The impossibly close Group H is the final test, and may very well be what separates the boys from then men... analysts.
