but to be honest. i dont see tossgirl putting up much of a fight, and i think idra can take super fairly easily. id say it will come down to idra and white ra

White-Ra is pretty much THE best foreigner protoss ever sooo yea! Not counting the old-timers like Grrr... and Leg who were pro-gamers. Super is definitely one of the top 3 Chinese Terrans if not #1 right? And ToSsGirL... well yea she's probably a newbie lol. Although shes' probably around IdrA's level, maybe a little worse but I Really have no clue.
It's hard to predict because it'll be almost all TvT and I don't know much about the specific strength of each player in that match-up.
My guesses are: White-Ra>Super White-Ra>IdrA White-Ra>ToSsGirL IdrA>ToSsGirL Super>IdrA
I think thats a fair prediction given everyones opinions of tossgirl. Supers TvP has looked good lately but Whitera would be the favorite, and Idras current level of TvP should make him the favorite vs Ra. But you never know tossgirl might suprise everyone.
People are idiot's. Any of you remember Tossgirl vs ToT)ClouD(? Tossgirl is NOT a pushover, she's still ahead of the vast majority of foreigners. And is probably just as strong as Super/IdrA/White-Ra, if not stronger overall. I expect Tossgirl and White-Ra to do well. Although I do love IdrA, his play fails vs White-Ra's style.

And Super is just boring. lol
Was that some kind of strange poem? And Tossgirl used some tricky dropship build vs Cloud where she let him scout 1 scv on gas or something, not that it takes away from her win, but that isnt really an indicator of much especially vs a group where its 2 terrans, and its a series so something like that would likely only work once. She is better than most give credit for, but thats not saying very much.I dunno how you really make an argument for her being strong overall, I mean she plays well sometimes, like taking a game off effort but playing terribly vs like keke and upmagic, I dont recall seeing her play any real TvTs, Basically make any real assumption about her play other than that which is based on what we have seen is tough. Tough being a female progamer, I guess.. Anyways like I said this should be interesting.
IdrA > Super ToSsGirL > Super ToSsGirL > White-Ra White-Ra > IdrA IdrA < ToSsGirL White-Ra > Super
TvT is supposed to be Idra's weakest matchup, so I doubt he can take Tossgirl (consistently, obviously any of these players have the potential to take games off the others here and there). White-Ra knows how to beat IdrA, Super might not. If Tossgirl drops a game I'd expect it to be to White-Ra, but still give her a small edge over him probably. She'll be defending Korea's honor here and doesn't have a whole lot else to prepare for, so I'd expect her to be in pretty good shape for this.
Edit: As for Tossgirl being weak: against A-teamers, sure. She's against 1 B-team player and 2 top foreigners. Against that level of player, she's still extremely strong.
Will this be commented in English? If not, hopefully someone can get the vods to artosis and have him comment on them, that would be really great, that is if there will be vods, but I really hope/believe that there will be

For the record, Super is a TvT beast, so I only see him maybe losing to White-Ra tbh. IdrA's TvP is good and I think he's better than ToSsGirL. White-Ra's good enough to beat out both ToSsGirL and Super, but I don't see ToSsGirL doing better than 1-2.
BTW, has anyone confirmed if this is actually round robin?
Ya I am geting spoiled off all these English dubs of VODs lately. A few years ago I could watch VODs in korean no problem. Now I just wish I could hear english commentating on every VOD.
According to the official timetable, playple will broadcast it. I couldn't find anything though. The entire thing is being broadcasted via plu.cn. Here are the options to watch it:
UUsee installation: On the first screen click the left button. After that always press the middle Button. On the last screen of the installation deselect the checkboxes or you install a toolbar and shit like that.
