u gotta skate8152 Posts
I can see at least 3 eSTRO players qualifying, but anything can happen. One of the shittiest upsets happen in the offline prelims. ![](/mirror/smilies/frown.gif)
Hogil Guemchi Sea/Killer Leta Flying/Great Iris Skyhigh/Classic Free Bisu (hoping Action) Light Violet Kal/Hoejja Jangbi Hero/Sangho Roro/Snow what a horrible group lol but I'd go with Canata :/ Upmagic/Jaehoon Hiya Really yCh Hyvaa/Stats Best/815 Horang2

Can someone tell me why FBH has to play someone as group U's seed first thing and every other seed gets a free pass?

I guess he is lowest KeSPA ranked player amongst seeded ones.

Mind G-Chizzle Sea Leta Flying Iris Skyhigh Midas free (go Nada) Bisu Julyzerg Violet Kal (go xellos) Jangbi Reach roro (go Casy) Urgh... Canata (go yellow) Upmagic (go boxer!) Ma Jae Yoon (hiya) Really FBH (go Idra go!) Stats (go go rush) Best Ruby

Predictions Group A: Mind vs HoGiL: HoGiL wins ( HoGiL seems more solid than Mind atm)
Group B: GuemChi vs Hyuk: GuemChi wins (He has some weird momentum going even though I think he sucks)
Group C: Sea vs EITHER; M18M or Neo.G_Soulkey (This guy doesn't have much experience but he seems like an up and coming zerg, depending on how confident he is playing will determine if he gets through). However, Sea is the favourite to advance, even though lots are putting M18M.
Group D: Leta vs Han: Leta will win easily
Group E: GosI[Flying] vs by.great (This is a hard one to call, the winner depends on Gosi's momentum, I really don't think great is a very strong player. So I'll go with GosI[Flying])
Group F: Iris vs Lomo (This seems like the weakest group, and as bad as Iris plays @ times, he should advance from Lomo, Iris wins.
Group G: sKyHigh vs Tempest (I Really like Tempest and if sKyHigh doesn't bring his A game, I think Tempest will walk through him, Tempest is pretty underated and remember he gets to practice with Flash. However, favourite is sKyHigh for the time being)
Group H: Luxury vs Midas ( Luxury takes it, now, this is a rather unusual group to call with so many new players. From what I have seen from TurN, Bogus, and Tazza, they can all sort of compete but if Luxury can Actually play instead of toss some games, he will take this group.)
Group I: free vs NaDa (I don't think FireFist will beat NaDa... and this is quite the easy pick, I'd be VERY surprised if NaDa won, + I don't like his continuing chances, so I will obviously go with free.)
Group J: Bisu vs Shuttle ( Bisu wins, even though he seems to be slumping, I think that Bisu is always just a little better than Shuttle. Also, even though Action seems pretty solid, we can't forget that Shuttle is still a pretty consistent gamer and he's been around longer, so I give him the edge.)
Group K: Light vs July ( Light wins, this guy has been very consistent, and lately seemingly stronger.)
Group L: Violet vs Much ( Violet wins, he's a very strong player, with all matchups, and even though Much is pretty strong for an old schooler, I don't think he will be able to beat Violet.)
Group M: Kal vs HoeJJa ( Kal wins, vs ANY other Zerg than Jaedong, Kal seems to be very strong)
Group N: JangBi wins (lol group? seems like they want JangBi to advance)
Group O: by.hero vs Reach ( hero wins easily, his ZvP is too strong for Reach, even if he's not the most consistent player)
Group P: RorO vs Saint ( RorO wins, as much as I have enjoyed Saint's recent games, and dislike RorO... I think he will somehow edge out Saint.)
Group Q: Canata vs PianO ( Canata wins, Canata is pretty underated, and he is a very strong TvTer, also, I can't Remember the Last time I saw PianO even play...)
Group R: UpMaGiC vs Jaehoon ( Jaehoon will kill himself, UpMaGiC will take this one easily)
Group S: HiyA vs sAviOr ( HiyA wins, HiyA seems pretty strong, and I don't think BaBy has been consistent ever since his monster performance in GOM TV.)
Group T: Really vs Crazy-Hydra ( Really wins, he is the man, and has been ever improving lately)
Group U: firebathero vs HyuN ( HyuN wins this group, as much fun as it would be to see a foreigner (even IdrA) win some games in an OSL, I don't think he has any chance. Also, HyuN is a strong player, and firebathero's inconsistencies and slump (even tho he somehow decimated SKT) will not allow him to progress.
Group V: hyvaa vs LuCifer ( hyvaa wins, this should be easy for hyvaa even with his lack of recent performances)
Group W: Best vs 815 (Best wins, I don't like 815's chances if he were to advance, so I hOpe Best will hold and win his group)
Group X: RuBy vs Horang2 ( RuBy wins, I dislike Horang2's inconsistencies, and since his early success he hasn't backed any of it up)

Well if you had scrolled down you would have seen Jaedong and Stork among the Ro36 seeds, and Flash and Movie are seeded for the Ro16 along with Shine and Calm.

I fear this as well. I do not know why, but Bisu seems to have a weakness against young prospective Zergs. -.-
Come on, Bisu!

I want Really to win this OSL
That would be epic as hell.
|
Fuck, there's no way Idra qualifies from that group.
|
Is it me or is IdrA's group pretty damn strong? Oh well, will make it all the more glorious when he emerges victorious \o/
|
wow, idra got a tough draw. but if he can beat hyun, and if fbh fails against some toss, he has a good chance imho. but i dont give him much of a chance in a tvt against fbh.... and hyun is no total scrub either. will be hard.
and oh god bisu, i can literally sense him losing to either action or shuttle. yes, shuttle. this kid is really good, but doesnt get the playtime he deserves.
|
I'm going to do something radical and predict that Bisu will breeze through his group.

Morning + Show Spoiler + A: Mind > Hogil B: Hyuk > GuemChi C: Sea > Killer D: Leta > anyone E: Mix up between by.Great, Gosi, ForGG F: Iris > Lomo G: Skyhigh > Frozean H: Luxury > Midas/Bogus
Afternoon + Show Spoiler + I: Free > FireFist J: Bisu > Action K: Light > JulyZerg L: Violet > MVP M: Kal > HoeJJa N: Jangbi > anyone O: By.Hero > anyone P: Roro > Saint
Evening + Show Spoiler + Q: Canata > Piano R: UpMagic > Modesty S: Hiya > Baby T: Really > Crazy-Hydra U: FireBatHero > Hyun V: Hyvaa > Stats W: BeSt > Miracle X: Ruby > Horang2
|
I desperately want NaDa to qualify, but in all likelihood, he'll break my heart again. IdrA has a decent chance if FBH does his usual fail vs Protoss routine. Not a good one, but there's been bigger upsets in prelims than that.
|
Group J ▶ (P)Bisu ▲ (Z)MIsO vs (T)SaiR ▲ (Z)Action vs (P)By.Rage ▲ (T)Ryung vs (P)Shuttle
Shuttle and Action miiiight have a chance imo Action vs Bisu was a fast paced game with Bisu almost losing you never know. Bisu better be gearing up to win this thing

Why are so many good players like July starting at the bottom with many players I've never even heard of near the top? How were people seeded into this?

How were people seeded into this? anyone in the ro16 in the last OSL is the top of their group in the ro36 July didn't make it into the ro16 last OSL so he missed out of being seeded
