[OGN] Offline Preliminaries - Fall 08 - Page 21

EARLY GROUPS
Group A - Spear - Lost in Finals - I still think he should have been able to get out of that group. His loss in the finals is his own fauly after letting the hour long frist game that ended in a draw get to him. I give myself half a point
Group B - Tester - Advances! - As I expected One full point
Group C - hyvaa - Lost in Finals - I'll use the excuse that ZvZ outcomes can be unpredictable. Half a point
Group D - Kal - Advances! - This one was easy. One point
Group E - Jaedong - Lost in Finals - Seriously? Who the fuck is han? Jaedong had no excuse not to win his final match. Half a point
Group F - 815 - Lost in Round of Four - Some nice upsets in this group. You are better than that 815, but you failed. You had a relatively easy group too. No points

Three and a half points for the first segment. Pretty good I think. None of my predictions lost in the first round, and only one didn't make it to the finals.

LATE GROUPS
Group G - TT - Lost in Round of Four - I know you could have cheesed your way to victory, and I think you would have beat Iris had you made it to the finals, but you didn't. No points
Group H - Light - Advances! - The winner of each match in the group was who I thought would win. Plus one
Group I - go.go - Advances! - This one was too easy. One more
Group J - DaezanG - Failed - Clearly I made the wrong call on this one. Oops. No points
Group K - Shudder - Lost in Round of Four - I knew I should have went with HerO in this group. But I didn't. No points
Group L - Sheis - Failed - Your TvZ is good and you had no business losing that match. Nothing

So the later group only gave me two points. Average I'd say. When they got to the finals they delivered, otherwise they pretty much sucked. I think my picks could have done better (obviously), but I don't think there were any major surpises from these six groups as to the six players advancing.

Group A: Lomo
Group B: RuBy
Group C: fOrGG
Group D: fantasy
Group E: Hwasin
Group F: Pure

Group G: s2
Group H: Shine
Group I: Midas
Group J: SoO
Group K: LuCifer
Group L: Justin

The earlier groups are pretty straightforward I think, while most of the later groups have a bit more difficulty to them or are much more even as far as player skill and experience goes.
