And so it begins...

Ample's quite a TvP beast, really tough group right off the bat!

Effort SHOULD move out of this group. With two protoss and a monster ZvP game, he shouldn't have trouble, even if he ends up playing Ample in the Winner's match.

Ample completely dismantled Shuttle in the Challenge Day series, so his TvP looks good, but I need to see him play against better PvT players to get a sense of how good his TvP really is. That being said, he is currently 3-0 against free lifetime so we might see him get to winners then beat EffOrt's atrocious ZvT.

My pick is EffOrt for sure, with Ample most likely moving on. Free is a slight underdog with this group, we'll see if his 56% PvT win rate holds up against Ample though.

ample tvz isnt that good either, seen his black[kal] games against effort/hero/zero. above average but nowhere near piano/mind tvz imba-ness.

and almost every zerg looks bad against the top terran players at the moment, so you can't say effort has atrocious zvt when hes merely practicing his mechanics against top terrans with standard macro builds most of the time. he saves his actual builds for competitive games, see his 3-0 over sea and hiya

and yes ample tvp is real good and underrated but dont forget all matches are BO1, so it really depends on how each player has prepared beforehand, anything can happen.

Didn't Sayle say he was going to live cast this? Why isn't his stream listed?

Countdown timer and streams should be list at the top below title. When I link this on Reddit, people can get the what when and where to watch easy.

Effort's ZvT is hilarious because even when hes losing it takes 30 mins for the terran to kill him.

in terms of a BO1, i think EffOrt should still have a very easy time moving out of the group. I mean, he absolutely destroyed GuemChi's asshole with a sick 3 hatch speedling bait and killed him in 6 minutes for a BO1

Pros will obviously have a slight advantage because they know how to prepare. We'll see though.
