Since Milkis haven't made a move yet, my inner CJ fanboy demands me to ninja this one.

(Z)EffOrt: I hope there will be a tiebreaker
[image loading]

- Thoughts on your first win after losing twice in the Ro16?
▲ Ha...really...really wanted to play better. I was the champion last season, to fall off so quickly would be too much. I thought to myself that I will definately win today and get into the tiebreaker. I'm hoping (T)Leta hyung will win.

- You went for a hydralisk rush.
▲ I saw my opponent's buildings, it was double stargates, so I chose this strategy, but it ended the game just like that. He defended poorly, I just kept making troops and won.

- (T)Leta must get 3 wins in order to force a tiebreaker, will you help him practice?
▲ If (T)Leta hyung needs practice partner then I will definately help him. If he would just give me a call I will definately help him with my fullest effort, I hope he will win.

- Are there any pressure being the defending champion?
▲ Yeah...but instead of saying I'm being pressured, it was more like the other players all played very well. If I can qualify through a tiebreaker that will be great, so I hope there will be a tiebreaker.

- How were things recently?
▲ Other players have alot of games to play too, there are alot of games in off-season and they all still have to be prepared well. It would be better to prepare alot before the actual practice, so I'm making careful preparations now.

- Previously you lost to (T)Light in a very good game.
▲ My hands were not very responsive, so I wasn't satisfied at my competitiveness. When I reflected on that game I thought I was very disappointing. This time I hope I can bring to bear my true abilities in the remaining matches.

[image loading]
Help me Leta hyung, you're my only hope!

Haha oh man EffOrt and tiebreakers again...
It's weird how coming in most of us were like "hey EffOrt and Bisu are going to make it out of this group..."

And now we're going to have tiebreakers if Leta wins again. EffOrt + tiebreakers = ?

Thanks for the translation.

EffOrt is going to win the tiebreakers en route to another OSL title, of course. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Go (Z)EffOrt!

And I think Leta will beat action with some more 2 port wraith action so effort probably won't have to worry about there being tiebreakers :D.

Also @ "everyone predicting Bisu and Effort to take this group" I had Leta for sure to take it and a tossup between bisu and effort :<, but if it does go to tiebreakers I think Bisu will make it out.

Are you crazy ? Those were a nightmare through and through...
Honestly, I don't care about Bisu, and I don't like Effort... And I think Leta should prefer letting Hydra advance... And being first of his group is not such a good idea so... Well we'll see on Friday.

I hope: Leta loses to Action so Effort is gone. I'm satisfied with losing Bisu to kick out Effort.
Realistically, it will be a tie-breaker and Bisu will kick some zerg ass.

ok..let me get this right.

leta wins --> 3 way tie breaker between effort, bisu, and action
leta loses --> leta + action advances

so either way, leta advances.. and if i were leta, i'd allow action to advance over bisu and effort..
so there's no incentive for him to win right?

Well, let's put it this way... if he wants to try 4 port wraiths for a change, now's the right game.

I'd allow Bisu/Effort to advance and hopefully take out one of the other top seeds so that I wouldn't have to meet them later on

Loool I bet this is the only time when Bisu's fans and Effort's fans united to cheer for... Leta.
Ironically they were like archenemies in the PL playoffs

If he wins he's 1st of his group, which means he'll play the 2nd from another group (not sure which) instead of the 1st.

I'm still pretty pissed off that Bisu messed up like he did :|

Oh well, Effort will get eliminated during tiebreaks anyway, i'm not worried~

Leta better win. Effffffffoooooooooooooooorrrrrrttttttt please.
If EffOrt gets into tiebreakers and wins though, he might get to finals again...I think a major factor in him winning the last OSL was the neverending tiebreakers ZvT and ZvZ that just stretched him to the limits.

hopefully he does. with enough preparation he can dominate nearly any player in a mind game, even Flash.

also down in a hole? he's 36-17 since the tiebreakers ended, with only 7 of those games coming in his strongest matchup zvp.
