- TLO plays Sangho first round - NOOOOOOOOOO
- Fruitdealer, Ensnare, and TLO are in the same quarter - NOOOOOOOOOO
- Clide, Rainbow, and Check are in the same quarter
- Boxer and Nada both have TvTs first round
- Boxer and Nada are in the same quarter - NOOOOOOOOOO
- IdrA plays a Terran named "ChickenCombo" first round - meh
- IdrA is in the same quarter as Maka
|
Wow, those brackets are... a little funky. It makes me sad to see Nada and Boxer playing TvT round 1, and unless i'm reading it wrong, Boxer might play two tvts in a row... blah..
|
Some more interesting matchups (hope I'm reading this right):
ITR vs the guy who knocked out Tester in RO64
Inca vs Clide in RO32
Hyperdub vs CheckPrime in RO32
EDIT: after looking at Idra's bracket, he better make it to at LEAST the RO16 or it'll be pretty embarrassing.
|
Denied a Fruit Dealer / TLO final, or a Nada / Boxer final =

Pretty much bad news for everything. But i mean,,lol, i wouldnt be happy if it was anything else either. damned tournaments full of people i like!!!
|
Nice ...brackets are definitely rigged.
1.FruitDealer plays an extremely weak opponent(zenith) T.
2.TLO's weakest matchup is vs P > Sangho gonna own. They don't want TLO in they want more famous people eliminating less known people.
3.Manofoneway plays an extremely weak opponent Gas.
4.Idra's opponent is weak T.
5.Maka's opponent is weak.6
6.Same with Check, opponent is weak.
They should just put TLO vs fruitDealer straight so we can eliminate FD out. GOM loves hype unfortunately.

I think you're being a bit dumb if you think they're completely rigged. Considering they were really pushing the "global" aspect they wouldn't want TLO out in round 1.
Calling gas weak is ignorant, he was a BW progamer, if he's been practicing he should be strong.
|
So, TLO could meet FruitDealer in ro16 and nada could meet boxer in ro8, assuming they're still in by then.
|
what happened to all the WeRRa and Prime guys?
I only see a handful here lol
|
|
|
Seems fully randomised, which I like a lot. I don't need a full on Boxer v NaDa style final yet, as everyone is still getting comfortable with their playstyle and the leagues in general. I think these brackets will make for some very interesting games, and maybe quite a few upsets. stoked.
|
I hope ChickenCombo gives us the show of a lifetime.
|
Pretty interesting matches!
Idra playing Terran? Where did his self-respect go then? :-O
Anyways, good luck to all the participants!
|
Just got to say bracket B is definitely the group of death, inca, clide, hopetorture, genius and check! OMG! also, i thought sangho retired lol.
|
lol chicken combo is actually what i'm having for lunch right now lol (kfc ftw)
having said that idra is probably gonna eat him up good too ...

Look closer. He's playing Zerg.

I'm so excited ^^
Can not wait to watch the matches live.
|
I'm so excited! I just can't hide it!
I'm kinda sad that we have so many good players in the same quarter brackets, but there are so many good players out there, that I suppose it can't be helped .
You know, I think Idra's actually got a pretty good shot at getting out of his bracket. I hope he does it this time  .
|
the card isn't stack enough wait for season 3 lol 
|
Make it back to back FruitVendor. <3
|
I'll just watch Boxer, Nada and TLO.
|
doesn't look like a bracket check wants to be in, considering how he did vs rainbow in gsl 1 and that clide is so solid as well.
|
MVP and Idra could meet in the round of 16 (if MVP can beat Zenio, ofc). That would be pretty interesting.
|
Has anyone noticed GOMtv.net has said on Facebook and twitter that the opening day's matches are best of 5? So is ro64 bo5 this season? :o
|
No CellaWeRRa? I'm sad :/
|
after looking at Idra's bracket, he better make it to at LEAST the RO16 or it'll be pretty embarrassing.
Why? He if he wins in RO64 he probably has to play oGsGon who plays pretty damn good. Wouldn´t be a shame to loose but I hope he´ll make it.
|
Idra is probably fist pumping right now.
|
lol idra is in such a good group. I feel sorry for TLO, gonna have a hard time.
|
some new names, some old names and few really old names
all in all I think this tournament will be even better than first one
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks for the bracket information OP.
Really want to see BoxeR and NaDa play some different matchups other than TvT.
|
United Kingdom16710 Posts
So there is a possbility of NaDa vs Boxer in Ro8? Oh gawwwd i hope this happens.
|
FlintZenith v. ITR could be another upset

I think they actually want TLO to go far. He has a lot of foreign, and even korean, fans.

I just want to know how do they do their brackets? personnaly i find it weird that TLO, FruitDealer and Ensnare (well it's not the best oGs player but still) are in the same bracket.
TLO Fighting!!!!
|
|
|
omg Bracket B is fucktarded, why clump up all the talent like that? -_-
|
TLO vs Sangho . Whoever wins better win the tournament!
|
Gas beating Boxer is gonna be the first upset, calling it now :p
Also, TLO having to play Sangho is pretty gay :/
InCa vs Clide in RO32 is gonna be pretty awesome btw
|
wow even Ro64 is packed with awesome matchups, gonna be a great gsl2 
cant wait to see who will advance and how far boxer/nada are gonna make it
|
Dumb questio, can someone provide a link or info for time/date we can watch the live streams?
|
|
|
baby bye bye = gone baby gone
|
hmmm all in all nice brackets - cant wait season 2 to start
TLO > FD in Ro16 !!
|
Raaaaaaa why are TLO and Fruitdealer so close! And why are Boxer and Nada in the same bracket T_T Sigh I'm so picky. At least Idra only has to deal with the one name more out there than Fruitdealer.
|
kind of a disappointing draw. with all the starpower involved this season, someone will get screwed at the start.
|
Am i the only one predicting an easy win for TLO? He is the star here, not SangHo, not anymore!
TLO Fighting
|
NaDa and BoxeR in the same Bracket
|
Seems like B, and then A are the toughest brackets... Sucks for TLO but great news for Idra.
|
Kind of off topic, but are the event times in TL calendar correct for GSL???? It starts at 21:00 PDT now? If so, my sleep schedule salutes you, GOM. Additionally, I don't think TG-Sambo is a sponser for the GSL anymore.
|
Im sorry to possibly burst peoples bubbles but I don't think Boxer and NaDa are that good yet. They might not make it to RO8 to meet.
|
|
|
are the matches really bo5 instead of bo3 this season?
|
Nada and boxer in the same bracket :-/
Brackets A and B seem really strong overall.
|
Without Tester it feels like there are no protoss to root for. Maybe Sangho will make it to semi finals or NexGenius shows something presentable, but other than that, :-( for protoss

I don't feel sorry for anyone being matched up with other good players because if a player is worth rooting for, they will win
With that being said, I expect Idra to go farther this time around. He kinda goofed last season and I think he has improved. I watched a few replays of him since then and he sends out zerglings to check for expansions regularly
It's upsetting that tester didn't make it. Not many protoss players to root for.
|
I love TLO but there's no way in hell I see him beating FruitDealer unless something big has changed since the last time I saw him play. FruitDealers play is just a cut above the competition for the moment. That said, fantastic brackets. A lot of interesting matches even early on
|
Ellenpage? Nice gamer ID? haha...
|
Seriously A is bloody stacked, If TLO manages to get past FruitDealer he's still got to probably beat oGsEnsnare or HungUnPrime, the latter only being a ro8!
|
What a joker - Ellenpage.
Kinda sad that there won't be a Nada/Boxer finals though... but a match between the two would suffice.
|
Gah, Boxer and Nada finals.. Hopes.. Dashed..
|
|
|
Rooting for Idra, TLO and fruitdealer!
|
Why is everyone complaining about people getting matched up so early? You just get to see some giants go at it sooner in my opinion, especially when a good amount of the ro64 last season was full of one-sided-ness.

Why would they support Idra more than TLO?? You're paranoid lawls

I just have to say, I'm glad to se SangHo again.
|
|
|
TLO fate is already decided
IdrA can go very far, it's gonna be nice !
|
These brackets are completely brutal.
Except Idra's. This is his chance.
|
hahaha i don't want to be a fire starter but hey, Idra seems to have an "easier" (compared to the other brackets) way up to the semis.
Wich would be great for gretech because since TLO and Idra got eliminated the stream viewer rating dropped almost to half.
I say this because when Idra or TLO were playing there were around 15.000 viewers among the restreams and when they both got eliminated i don't remember seeing more than 8.000 viewers until the finals.
But hey.... I'ts just an opinion! Just an opinion!
|
Say hello to the next GSL champion.
|
I'm suprised nobody has said that there is a possibility of idrA vs TLO finals lololol (i'm sure korean e-sports would be over if that happened)
|
Ugh, Boxer and NaDa in the same bracket. Hope they do meet, though.

If you're talking about Cellawerra, I think clide knocked him out

There are several reasons why I'm not scared for TLO. We don't know how much SC2 Sangho has played but I'm willing to bet that it's less than TLO. Also, Sangho was a BW progamer, but he was one of the crappier progamers. If NaDa played Sangho now in BW it could go either way, and we saw what TLO did to NaDa in SC2. Maybe Sangho practiced more SC2 than NaDa but I doubt it.
|
Bracket A: Fruitdeal
Bracket B: Rainbow
Bracket C: LegalMind (cuz P needs some love too )
Bracket D: Idra
Sorry for the spoilers, but that's the semis ^^

 SangHo was one of the crappier progamers you say? I don't want to say anything about  Cool , but I'm just saying, he was on eSTRO's A-Team, so he was definitely amazing at BW, just not on the level of Flash, JD, etc.
Also, SangHo was pretty much in good condition when he left BW, it was just because of the whole scandal that he left. And, it seems like SangHo's been practicing a lot, according to SC2ranks, he's doing really well. Not as much as NaDa, but still a lot.
That's just my 2 cents.
|
IDK, besides sangho (who we haven't seen) TLO should make the Ro16. Wait CHRH is there... alright Mn this could be interesting. High risk high reward. Taking out so many big names will do wonders for TLO's korean brand.
Idra could go very far. There are worse brackets to have (namely TLOs)

Estro was the worst pro team next to Ace. I don't believe Sangho would have been on the A-team for a lot of other teams. I also believe, just my impression of watching him in PL, that NaDa and Sangho aren't too far apart in terms of BW skill, and TLO is able to take NaDa just fine. If it were someone like Effort coming in I would say that his skills are so good that less time spent on SC2 doesn't matter. Effort would destroy all. Sangho is not nearly at that level, and his macro and micro won't be good enough to counter his SC2 inexperience.
|
You know, sometimes I think some of you believe george bush is a lizard person.. such Paranoia.. Finding reasons for EVERY bracket to be rigged.. surely if it was random you'd still find ways to call it rigged? OMG TLO AND IDRA IN THE SAME BRACKET, rigged to discourage foreigners!
anywho, Awesome. I can't friggen wait, and the 1 or 3pm (I forget which) korean start time for the Ro64 is Awesome
|
I think nada's natural talent is so good, his inexperience with SC2 doesn't even matter. He stated in the recent GSL2 interview that he didn't have confidence just a few weeks ago before joining ogs. A few weeks later, he makes the main stage.
That IEM showmatch vs TLO doesn't even matter. This is the guy that his father died, he left pro gaming for over 2 years, came back and toasted everyone in his way and got the golden mouse.
|
go tlo 
go idra
FOREIGNERS FIGHTIING!
|
please warn lowercase for his 4chan b.s. get off the forums or at least use a spoiler tag.
in other news, i hope TLO uses nukes on fruit dealer, but I think FD can handle it. and i doubt the matchup will happen
|
Although I like TLO a lot, I dont see him having even the smallest chance against Cool. Ofc assuming they play against one another...
|
Bracket C is gonna get PoltPrimed. You heard it here first!

i don't think that's gonna happen personally, but man.. can you imagine the number of bw pros switching to sc2 to defend their honor? I know for wcg they make a big deal to win, it's important to them to have korea be the best.. I can only see this making competition in Korea take off in SC2, as well as encouraging more foreigners to come play. Win-Win for SC2, probably not good for BW, idk I could be wrong, and it could make people lose interest, but from what I've heard they like TLO over there.
|
Do we have to pay another $20 for this season? I hope not.
|
People putting way too much confidence in old SC1 pros. SC1 != SC2 and it's been shown in the replays. They're good at SC2, but not really TSL level IMO.
Semis: Fruitdealer vs Clide, Boxer vs Idra
Finals: Clide vs Idra
Clide wins.
Edit (For the slow): By old SC1 pros I mean the relative newcomers to SC2 obviously.
|
There's quite a bit of turnover from gsl1->2, there are people that finished very well in the 1st that didn't even qualify here, insane. Talent pool in SC2 is already ridiculously deep =o
|
A) Fruit-dealer
B) Clide
C) ?
D) Idra
C is the hardest bracket to predict. I honestly don't buy in to the hype of Boxer or Nada. Not yet anyway. Feel that its going to take time, for their superior Bw skill to show through in sc2.

If IdrA loses his Ro64 match to a dude named ChickenCombo, the Terran qq is going to explode.

Whoever says Gas is an extremely weak opponent should know that he is living in the same house as Tester, Cool, and Clide. He is not a weak opponent.

You know, I don't think that TLO will have a hugr problem if he manages to get to FD.
Why? FD has impeccable sense of what to react to and counter, the problem is, TLO doesn't necessarily play standard and comes up with very unorthodox plays. It's not that I think he is better then ITR necessarily, but much less legible. Zerg is a reactive race, and TLO is much harder to read IMO.
Then again, 1.1.2 helps so...who knows.
|
Idra won't be able to beat Maka or oGsMC.
Other than that, it looks good. If he's lucky enough for Maka to get eliminated before the "finals" of his group, he might go forth.
Good Luck to all foreigners!
|
sangho wasnt crappy he had kespa ranking 79 like ca 50's was like top 3-5 in pro teams. Sangho might even win.
|
I'm going to laugh so hard when ChickenCombo 3-0's Idra haha. Watch him do some crazy strat that destroys the Destiny Cloud Fist build with his new and improved Chicken Biscuit Mash Potatos build order.
I actually like the brackets to be honest, With high hyped matches in ro64 and ro32, each week we will have matches to look forward to. Theres no fun watching squash matches and match result upsets when we're excited for every weeks games!
|
I think it's only BO3, no?
Meaning that only 2 cheeses should do it.
|
lol, i want idra to win, but i really would like him to win by beating cheese haha.
watching idra get cheesed is just always awesome
|
I'm looking forward to FruitDealer vs. EllenPage (#1 on the ladder in Korea). I imagine FruitDealer will take out his first round opponent with ease.
I'm seriously worried about TLO vs SangHo. TvP is TLOs worst matchup by far -- just check out the TLO v TT1 showmatch series. Plus, SangHo is no slouch. If he's been practicing SC2 hard at all, I can see him taking out TLO without too much trouble. My heart's with TLO, but I just had to vote SangHo on liquibet.
|
Oh man, with 9 matches per day, my sleep schedule will be screwed during the RO16.
|
Bought my ticket.
Hope I can catch Boxer's matches live...
|
I hope EllenPage will take out FruitDealer in RO64. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
|
Am I the only one thinking Boxer and NaDa in the same bracket is a good thing? The odds are much, much greater that we'll get to see them play each other this way. Had they been in different brackets, the odds of them both being good enough to make it out of their bracket to play each other this early after release would be incredibly low.
|
I can't say that I am surprised not to see Tester in the bracket.
|
ChickenCombo must win this! IdrA losing to a guy named ChickenCombo lol. Hopefully Boxer's bracket becomes Boxer vs NaDa =D.

If that's the case, someone should update the TLPD entry for TSL. He's still on their roster here:
