I agree, but how does round of 8 work? Do the two group winners play each other? or...? All I know is that its Bo3.

They changed it to Best of 5 from Ro8 onward to the finals.
According to Liquipedia

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2012_Tving_OSL/Elimination_Bracket

Round of 16 = 4 Groups: A, B, C, D
A1 = top place in group A
A2 = second place in group A

Round of 8=

A1
B2
-------
B1
D2
-------
C1
A2
-------
D1
C2

There are 2 B2s, im guessing the one against C1 is supposed to be A2? Also I hope Fantasy wins his group and DRG wins his group and then DRG would have to play Oz, NesTea or Last, much easier than playing first place in group C which could be Parting or MVP. Also DRG plays Rain or MKP next?

yup you're right, thanks for catching that.
DRG will play rain first
then MKP last
schedule's on the front page of this thread.

Nestea's ZvT is shit right now
Oz will likely get top spot and Fantasy will get 2nd.

If DRG beats by.Rain (on the shit map that is entombed)
he should easily get first place since MKP's ZvT is lackluster lately.

I'm expecting DRG vs Fantasy in Ro8 if the best outcome occurs.
If not it will be DRG vs MVP...which is freaking scary.

I feel that if MKP wins then the pressure is on Rain to beat DRG or else he is basically done, but then it will be likely that MKP n DRG will both be 2-0 playing for 1st on Ohana which could be cool. But you are right, ZvP on Entombed against arguably the best Kespa sc2 player right now, not to easy. Oz did really bad at MLG (like he only got to play 3 series and lost them all) I dont expect much of him, I think Fantasy wins that group EZPZ. Also id rather have DRG v. MVP than Fantasy. Fantasy scares me where as DRG knows MVP and can study him easier, but of course we will see how things unfold. (im actually thinking MVP may lose tonight but of course, what do I know?) Im really hoping for DRG v. Last in Round of 8, that would be my dream scenario.

I haven't posted in here in a while but I'm constantly checking in and staying updated. DongRaeGu is a great player but he also has fans to match. I don't visit a lot of fan clubs but of the ones I do visit, this one is by far the best. Exactly what a fan club should be - no wonder DRG is thanking his fans.

That's tremendous news!
Time to forgive NASL for its past mistakes and give them another chance.

by the way,
thanks for the kind words, SeinGalton
It means a lot.

Tommy and I try really hard because we are as true fans of DRG as many of you are.

That is really great news, all 4 of the invites are good IMO. Can't wait to see how DRG does in this type of system. I think he will do really well :D

At around this same time last year, DRG arrived to the United States for the first time to play at MLG.
Goodness he looked so young just a year ago!

It's hard to believe that Soo Ho has come so far
from being just a college student who's " not doing so well" (lol)
to being a contender for best StarCraft II player in the world.
Never forget your passion, DongRaeGu!
