Midas (T-SKT) < Monty Hall > Kwanro[saM] (Z-CJ)
NaDa (T-Pantech) < Monty Hall > SoO[S.SiR] (P-STX)
Winners @ < Python >
Losers @ < Python >
Winner/Loser @ < Desperado >
Tonight we have a fairly interesting group. Two of the most feared terrans around, paired with a relatively unproven zerg, and the minor league perennial Soo.
Midas vs Kwanro[saM]
Given that this is on Monty Hall and that Kwanro really doesn't seem to have the salt to walk through Midas, I'm giving a large lead to Midas on the favourites poll here. Kwanro is gonna need something nuts to pull out a win.
Nada vs SoO[S.SiR]
Also on Monty Hall. Soo has been here and done this, but always with very limited success. He faces another tough challenge in Nada, but we've all learned the hard way (usually with our liquibet points) that Nada always has the potential to disappoint. That isn't to say he's not expected to blow Soo out of the water, but we'll see what happens.
That leaves us the last three matches, and here are my predictions for them:
Winner's match: Nada vs Midas
We're gonna see something cool here if these two meet on Python, which is a very entertaining map for TvT. Maybe you don't like TvT and if thats the case, well, go to hell! I think Nada can smash a win here over Midas, who seems to be really hit or miss against Terran.
Loser's match: Kwanro vs Soo, the pair of fuckin' losers
its Python and Kwanro shows more promise than Soo does, so he'll win. This match really doesn't matter becaaaaaaaaause:
Final match: Kwanro vs Midas or "Even Shudder Wins TvZ On Desperado"
Great map, great matchup, great terran. Kwanro is in for another spanking at the hands of the most awkward terran player EVER.
I predict Nada and Midas will advance, as I'm sure a lot of you have. I'll update the results here!

Im hoping nada/midas
but i dont trust that both will qualify tbh-
they're both slumping (angered the bw gods?) and these guys are unknown- hence the potential to upset.
Midas will beat nada if they meet, i think he's in slightly better form atm

I don't think that his build had anything to do with a lack of confidence in his tvp...
btw, i'll report unless someone else really wants to
|
I think Soo did pretty good providing that he stareted with fast nexus and saw the cheese in the last moment)
|
that was one sweet game by nada. you could say boxer-esque even.
|
bs? how lame? loss of self-confidence?
Man, when Federer beats Roddick in Aussie Open semi-final with cheap, bs, lame shots - do we say he's bs, lame and lost his self-confidence?
Seriously, think about what you say guys. Thanks.

kwanro vs midas... soo got unlucky scouting the 7 and 8 o'clock positions when z was at 1
|
Hmm... Now that I get a closer look at Kwanro's face, I think he's the guy who used to share a room with Xellos.
|
soo underestimate the situation he saw the fast hydra with low drone count tech with the corsair, but went for an expansion anyway

it's completely not the same thing
all-in strats by what is perceived as the superior player (the one that would have the advantage in a longer game) are more risky than playing safe and relying on slowly building up an advantage
tennis is a game where upsets are extremely difficult to pull off, while in BW upsets happen all the time
also, the whole "all-in build" thing exists in BW where in every other sport it basically doesn't
it really comes down to who does the cheese, if soo beat nada with proxy 9 gate everyone would be screaming omg cheese, but when nada does it back it's all of a sudden a great play?
|
gogo mr.midas ! win this !
|
Did it start? report please!
|
Midas is in trouble lost alot marines to speedlings and now mutas are out..
|
kwanro was lucky early game with some lings and killed a lot of fast expanding midas' scvs. his muta harrass is quite sucessful too.
|
Kwanro kills off alot of marines and turrets with ling/muta... does not look very good for midas.
|
Midas natural will go down any moment, just a few marines blocking the ramp
|
god damn midas ever heard about the terran building 'bunker' ???
|
More units of kwanro arrive and midas -- not yet
|
pretty bad, midas lost his expo CC to muts
|
Midas losing here  Nice ling micro started it all^^
|
Muta slaughter all rines + eco.. over, midas types out.
NaDa and KwanrO advance
|
Damn you, Midas. You ruined my Liquibet streak.
|
What a flop :/
Just about ANY player would be so damn lucky to get Kwanro in his MSL group...
|
|
|
After raping KwarnO in the first game, he now loses lol.
|
|
|
King of chokers. Can never trust Midas to do anything for himself, only thing he's good at is Proleague.
|
damn. midas even got more votes then nada and he still disappoints.. shame..
|
In the end all SKT players will have to practice for next season is Proleague, and they'll mess that up too. First Oov now Midas... At least I hope this no-name Zerg gives an easy group win to one of my favorite players.
|
Midas cracks under pressure again. Damnit, he's making it so hard to be a fan for him .
|
this zerg guy plays nice actually, first game he lost due to building order, his styly reminds me july zerg a bit, aggresiive with good micro

Please... He's going to be cannon fodder in MSL and you know it! :-)
|
Midas definetely is not the same anymore
|
T1 as a whole is basically not the same anymore this season.
|
Midas sucks so bad right now it's not even funny. Same shit everytime. I'm glad anyone but him advanced. Also nice to see a non-terran advance. Has there been any group so far where at least one terran didn't advance? When will this stop?

however the few protosses and zergs that qualify practice so much against terran and usually play only agaisnst terran match ups, so at the end non-terrans become champions due to this reason
|
yeah
last 2 msl champion: protoss
last 2 osl champions: zerg

fucking hell
way to go midas
|
wow NaDa played really gosu both game! ^^ im happy he made it with 2-0 gogo NaDa!
|
I actually like kwanro..
I don't know why VioleTAK always seems to be against the newcomers.
|
nada ez... midas wtf =(
soo is a good sport though... didn't get mad after losing both games rather noobish-ly
|
Nada always bounces back better than before, that's what I like about him. He's probably gonna be back in both leagues again this season.
|
Well gokey with Midas and Nada in his group he probably didn't expect to advance I bet kwanro is sooo happy...this is a huge step in his career.
|
that zergs muta control was so sloppy
how did he lose
|
