I am totally taking my Mum to the one on the 29th so we can sit in the audience for once (I don't really care about photographing OSL.) drink bacchus and hold up signs for Casy/Adamas.

GO EFFORT
not a bad group all things considered, July isn't that great zvz and Ruby has always been tier 3 terran

GoRush also has a pretty terrible group. Although I doubt he will make it through.

Nice, Type-B and GoRush have a strong chance to make it to the 16, sadly I can't say the same for Lomo...

There are some cool matches here.
Particularly looking forward to a potential Zero vs Kal, Light vs YarnC, anything in Group J, and GoRush and Casy's games.
|
Justice for BackHo that he gets by far the easiest winner's opponent in Tester and an opponent in GoRush who, while having shown signs of life lately, is still arguably preferable to just about everyone else.
Potential matches that could be really interesting include:
Zero vs Kal
go.go vs Luxury
hyvaa vs Hwasin
Effort vs July
Light vs Yarnc
Kwanro or Casy vs GGPlay this is hilariously optimal for Casy
Glad to see Flash and Stork should be safe (though you never know with the clown that is Stork). I don't like Stork but I like seeing him at least IN the leagues, if for no other reason than comedy.

GoRush's group can't play PvZ worth a damn - BackHo is sitting at a pretty (ugly) 34.38%, and Tester is even worse at 32.43%. ACE fighting!

Ugh. I'm afraid EffOrt doesn't have much chance of advancing very far 
Oh well. Go EffOrt!

Yeah, he tends to improve the quality of the games for a while, which is good, plus then you get that priceless "oh god what's going on" look on his face when it all starts coming apart in the semis or finals. :D
Most of the seeds look pretty safe to me, with the exception of GGplay and Tester (2 Ace players in Ro16 yes please?), as well as Kal/ZerO, Hwasin/hyvaa, and possibly July/effort being coinflips IMO. I was writing GoRush off for being fresh out of military training a few days ago, but after seeing him smash through the offlines and + Show Spoiler +kill hyvaa in proleague, who has been rolling zergs including Jaedong left and right
Also, please please PLEASE Hogil kill Canata and spare us from 3-4 hour+ TvTs.
|
Hm...You barely notice all the zergs, how do they make these groups anyways? Is it a random drawing, I know they try to avoid as many mirrors as possible.
|
Casys got two Zergs wow. And GoRush has it pretty easy with BackHo and Tester.
|
Lol @ Casy and GoRush's groups. Casy 2 zergs, casy absolutely controlled kwanro last time they played, but kwanro has been a man on fire lately, could be rough, and ggplay meh who knows, good chance for the neo emperor either way. And Gorush..well..Backho and Tester are god awful pvz'ers..Seriously gorush should win easily.
Also watch out for guemchi making an upset in group A.

It's not like GoRush's vP is particularly bad or anything, it's average at worst, whereas BackHo and Tester's vZ are really horrible. Don't count GoRush out!

Fuck Yea! Ace players get some pretty nice draws.

I'm all about BackHo for a round or two. I think he really has what it takes and I know he is practicing really hard to get that excellent micro back.

stars have aligned for casy and gorush

Casy in Ro16 would make my week.
The stars are already aligned for him with two zergs. Throw in only 10 Protosses total in the 40 man tournament, and three are guaranteed to be eliminated before the Ro16. Chances are, maybe four make it to the Ro16. Just like July rolling over a stream of protosses to victory in Bacchus 08, Casy could go far in '09.

It was EVER 08 not Bacchus 08 where July won.

Nuts, Zero drew Kal in his group. At least those should be really good games.
|
If Casy wins, I think their will be a lot of people who drop whichever player they're rooting for for him :3
|
I'm praying for a 14 zerg round of 16, just to give Jaedong a free golden mouse. :D
Just kidding.
However, I'll be happy to see less Protoss make it.
Except BackHo. He's fun to watch.
|
Dang! I like Pure...but I can't cheer for him over BeSt.
|
Really looking forward to the chance of a Yarnc vs Light bo3!!!
|
Can't wait for Stork vs Lomo~~
also, possible ZerO vs Kal looks good.
|
It'll be difficult to decide who to cheer for between July and EffOrt, but I certainly hope that it'll come down to that with EffOrt > RuBy.

I'm still aching over skyhigh not making it to the RO.32.... 
|
Who said effort wont make it through? Lol.. Effort is the clear favorite in his group...July is a clear underdog vs effort, and maybe even with Ruby.
|
It's arguable that July is the underdog vs Effort, though they are close, but he is not the underdog vs Ruby. I don't care if Ruby 6-0'ed his prelim group of zergs, this is julyzerg, his ZvT has been smoking in the last games.

There needs to be a liquibet for whether or not infested terrans will get used :D

July is not even close to EffOrt in ZvZ.- he can barely win a third of his ZvZ's nowadays, and EffOrt is one of the group of 3rd-tier ZvZers, right below Jaedong (1st tier) and Luxury (2nd tier), along with hyvaa, ZerO, and great.

i'd rank it as
1st tier - yarnc, lux
2nd tier - lots of players, including effort
3rd tier - (july is here)
jaedong is off the scale

but I hope Leta, Stork, Effort, and Best will make it too

uh oh EffOrt and July one of them must be gone nuuu!
|
|
|
i have a question if u loose in round of 32 do u have to do all the qualification again or u get some sort of a seed?
cause i look at lets say yoonjoong the guy cried when he managed to get here
now he needs to play roro which is not that easy but even if he makes it ....
there's flash
it feels like a a moth getting away from a spider to a big bird feeding him to his young ones

Luxury isnt in a tier all his own..hes just clutch in individual leagues(the 3-0 over zero), but he gets utterly raped by the king, while others atleast give close games or win. Hes in the same league with zero and effort, and zero did he beat him recently in PL. but otherwise yea...july tried to 4 pool great on like some huge map, hes probably among the worst zvzers atm.
