Cheers  Probably that 7 number next to the day and month means the starting hour, so very likely it is 7 pm KST. But you probably knew that when u were asking the question ) | ||

The problem is I can't see him advancing past Sacsri in a Bo3. Motive doesn't cheese. He's an eco control player. No wacky or crazy builds from him. I won't put him over RoyaL, but I think he has his best shot vs Sacsri. Realistically it would be Rush + Royal in Winner's, with Motive vs Sacsri in loser's with odds there at 50/50. Motive's odds vs Rush or Royal are closer yo 40/60. He could still win but its less likely. I want him to make it out in 1st place, but its less likely. Also, I've noticed games are getting shorter and shorter lately. The meta seems to favor STRONG early and mid players, with late becoming much less common amongst all match-ups. | ||

Queen and Rain, the two biggest players in the group both have the advantage of only needing to practice 2 matchups. They handily win group A, but with some challenging Terran cheese thrown at them. Group B: Mini and Bisu are always clear favorites in every group. Bisu is highly reliable in his path to the Ro16. Mini could lose to Terrans who know how to turtle and macro because mini can't build more than 60 probes. Scan tends to play aggressively in the early game. If he does that, he'll lose to Mini. No matter what he'll lose to Bisu. Scan beating sSaK is also possible, though I'd give him like 40% odds against sSaK on competition day. Group C: Rush and Sacsri are impressive Broodwar players. Sacsri in fact is very good at being Zerg. Royal is strong, but Sacsri feels the pull of the Zerg race yearning for a new champion. More importantly, he only needs to win one series against Royal, lose to Rush, and collect against Motive in the final match. Group D: Best and Action are heads and shoulders better than Sea and Speed. I think Speed could maybe do something against Action, but certainly not twice. And Sea spends most of his time convincing pretty Korean chicks to follow him around and enjoy him while he talks loudly about stuff. Group E: Who is teolbo? Light and Jaedong. Jaedong has been around long enough to not be thrown off guard by novelty. Light is one of the most stable defensive terrans around. They're equipped to deal with cheese. Respect teolbo for making it this far. Group F: Can Free beat JyJ? If he gets one really good win against JyJ, he could move on against Mind and we'll find out if the guy is for real. Stork is going to the loser's match. I give him 90% to beat free in PvP. So, Free needs to beat JyJ to have a shot of getting out of this group. My hypothetical money's on JyJ and Mind to clear the group with stylistic gumption. | ||

Jaedong is getting thrown off guard every single season. teolbo is YSC. 90% in a PvsP is absurd. lol. | ||
