Really? I'd say group B looks like a free ticket to the next round for splax xD ngenuity should be able to secure second. On the other hand, group A looks quite unpredictable... And group D is simply a joke, yet again xD But I guess Sero and ty2 will advance.
Maybe I overlooked Splax but I think if the Terrans practice really hard in the next week they can get the job done considering circuit breaker can be pretty decent for TvP.

Did you also believe that mimi111 would advance since TvZ is in the terran's favor? xD Splax losing a PvT in this group is nigh impossible. Him dropping out can only happen if he doesn't show up...

flyingjelly's predictions seem on point though. I think n.genuity will take 2nd over napoleon though.

It's not like TvP is unwinnable. With really good preparation and some luck C-/C players can win a Bo1 vs C+/B- players. It does happen from time to time.

Hey Kiva, I will be a bit late for our game today. I do not expect to be there more than 20 minutes late. If you do not want to wait around we can just set our game for 20 minutes after default time.
Couple updates: I'm not sure when I will be able to cast the Ro16 games because I'm extremely busy with school this semester. I will see about getting that stuff pushed back to tomorrow though. I haven't really gotten the replays from my e-mail yet either.
To the people that moved on to the Ro8: All eight of you have a map veto. One or two of you have told me your choice but the map order for the Ro8 will go like this with the vetoed maps removed from the list:
Circuit Breaker Electric Circuit Neo Jade Benzene Ground Zero Neo Aztec La Mancha
Replays: It appears I'm missing 3 replays from the ro16, 1 from group A and 2 from group B. I need the game between DNH and FlyingJelly as well as these games from group B: LightningStrike vs Napoleon <Losers Game> <Tie Breaker>

Yep. Should edit our posts for spoilers incase someone is actually doesn't want to be spoiled for this lolol Sorry about that. I had your replays but just thought you didn't make it out for some reason ;p
A zerg that rightfully is not very confident in his ZvT against the future winner of the tournament. The only question is if Serobot will gift Artanis a map.
After Arcania rejected Artanis' fair, sound, and completely selfless offer to switch places with Splax, the viewers will not be spared a bo5 of the "most exciting" matchup. The players' thoughts: + Show Spoiler +
This is probably the most evenly matched pair in the ro8. While both players are the two biggest underdogs of the remaining people to win the tournament, they both have shown a solid performance to reach this stage. Additionally, both have posted solid results in various TL leagues and tournaments have participated in. From personal experience I'd rate Napoleon's pvt as marginally better than gohan's. However, this is a Terran mirror and for reasons unknown to me Gohan has Flash-like TvT stats in TL leagues. With a 7-3 TL TvT record, I have learned to not doubt Gohan in this matchup and expect him to win even (by clinging onto wins even after putting himself behind every game)
I am absolutely certain that Radley is overjoyed to have the pleasure of playing his favorite matchup! But honestly, I can only assume that Fold is here to win, while Radley is here to get drunk and bitch about TvP...
