[YSL] TheShimmy's Yellow Starleague Season One - Page 18

Group A
ninazerg vs Terranito[AoV]
Radek_z_[KDV] vs ihufa

Unfortunately, Terranos seems to be MIA. Or KIA. Hopefully not the ladder of those two. Anyhow, that presents an interesting situation where I might automatically fall into the winner's bracket. If Radley wins, I might be able to beat him (he says he hasn't practiced much lately) and advance, then he would face ihufa a second time. I'm not scared of ihufa, but I would rather play ZvT than ZvZ, but even if I lose, I have another shot if I beat Radley in the loser's bracket, that is, if ihufa can get past him.

I can't predict who will advance from this group, just disappointed because I wanted to play Terranos.


Group B
sas.Minus vs Splax
Danny[MicrO] vs fold

Splax has been really good lately, so I favor him to advance, although, to be fair, I haven't seen Slowbullets' TvP, but I have my fingers crossed for Splax. The Fold vs Danny match is kind of strange. Fold's ZvP isn't bad - I've seen him play it before - but I don't know how prepared he'll be.

Prediction: Splax and... I dunno. Maybe Slowbullets will win the loser's bracket or Fold might bone up on ZvP and win the group. I JUST DON'T KNOW.


Group C
Elegant[AoV] vs Telecom
sB.icedraco vs Fox.MVP

MVP is one of the quickest-improving StarCraft players in the foreign scene, and his ZvP is incredibly on-point. He will definitely win over icedraco. Telecom vs Elegant is more complicated, because Telecom has a style that is very "rock-scissors-paper", so it really depends on if Elegant has been practicing a lot of PvP to prepare. Whoever wins will have their ass handed to them by MVP.

Prediction: MVP easy, maybe Telecom. I know Elegant is a big fan favorite, because he's British (You can't deny that accent makes your knees weak) but I have to give it to ma boy Telecom.


Group D
Mmmbop[raGe] vs sabas[AoV]
oxysc vs ZuCrow

Sabas has been practicing like crazy, or so I heard. I know he'll get much better in the coming months, but I don't know if it will materialize in time for this tournament. Okay, scratch that, he'll win. Oxysc is a very underrated player. I think he will beat ZuCrow, and then beat Sabas. ZuCrow will definitely beat Mmmbop. Then, Sabas will face ZuCrow, and will probably win.

Prediction: Oxysc, Sabas advance


Group E
CoughingHydra vs sas.zimp
ToKa vs Artanis[Xp]

Zimp will win his match, Toka will win his. Then Zimp and ToKa will play each other, but whoever loses will win again and advance.

Prediction: Zimp, ToKa advance


Group F
[a.G]Xenoma vs -endy-
glio[AoV] vs TheMarine[BG]

This group is similar to group E, but I don't want to count out endy. Xenoma and glio are my favorites to win the first round, but endy could beat glio. TheMarine is the weakest player in the group and will not advance, sorry.

Prediction: Xenoma (Cuz he's a B rank player), glio[AoV] advance, TheMarine rages at someone, probably me, for making this prediction.


Group G
Letalis[BG] vs sB.Sero
Rlentless vs Siz)Beggar

Beggar disappeared, so rlentless will walkover him, then face the winner of Letalis vs Sero, which I firmly believe Sero will win. A lot of Bulgarians have been saying how good Letalis is, but they tend to overhype their own players, because BULGARIA POWAH. That being said, I like rlentless, but don't feel like he can touch Sero or Letalis. It's almost a two-man group.

Prediction: Letalis, Sero advance, unless Beggar suddenly appears to win it all, which won't happen.


Group H
Pikka vs art_of_turtle
dr.shrinker vs sas.LuMiX

Lumix will win against dr.shrinker unless a major fluke occurs. Art_of_turtle has played "up to C" with Zerg (don't quote me on that, that's just how I remember it), but he been practicing almost exclusively Terran lately, so will it weaken his play? I don't know, and additionally, I don't know who Pikka is.

Prediction: Lumix and someone else will advance.
