How else did all 7 CJ players end up in different groups for MSL? The progamers are manner enough to have an unspoken rule about spreading out teammates. | ||

Plus, Jaedong would have expected Effort to pick a Zerg, since that would give Effort the best chance of making it out of his group. Effort decided to counter that by picking Flash. Now, this is smart from the perspective that it makes it harder for Jaedong, who's weakest matchup is vs. Terran. But this is stupid from the perspective that Effort's weakest matchup is also vs. Terran (note: the fact that these are each other's weakest matchups should not be construed to mean that they are in any way weak in these matchups). | ||

Also I see Effort/Flash advancing. Yarnc will definitely lose vs both Zergs and I doubt he will beat Flash because of a style disadvantage. Flash/JD/Effort might end up all 2-1 (Flash>JD, Effort>Flash, JD>Effort seems quite likely) and we'd have some great tiebreakers. | ||

Yarnc beating Jaedong/Effort/Flash is a pretty similar situation. Don't kid yourself that he has 0% chance | ||

I think that helped. I think my games turn out better when I face top-class players. I think that's why my coaches gave me such an advice.*** This guy (actually anyone from the group) is going to have to play at a ridiculously high level just to get out of the group stage. Nobody else will be as prepared as the two qualifiers from that group. And basically, that quote is ridiculously frightening. | ||
