=D I don't think anyone suspects zelotito can beat july, just that they *could* be entertaining games. mondragon has a marginal chance of winning but kingdom has beaten zergs like yellow, july, jju, junwi etc - who are all far above mondragons level.
The Match ups are wonderful Its the perfect mix between good match ups and better chances to win for europe !
I think some of you dont realize how strong fisheyes pvt is. I think for example, that he would have good chances if the maps are balanced. He can beat many korean terrans on maps like LT/Nostalgia/Gaema..
but on the new maps it depends on his prepearation
those players are not far above mondragons level in zvp. also naz it was kingdom who did that and there aren't really anyone who expects zelotito to beat july. but taking one out of 3 games? sure that might happen.

LOL, I said i WOULD beat him?I was fairly certain i could beat him and my opinion hasn't changed.But of course i won't be a favourite in such a match..

Hehe ,I'm glad my fellow bulgarians support me, but you're overrating my current shape and underestimating Pj's. ;(

But how do koreans know about this? i haven't seen a single message on a korean forum, or a single korean mention it to me, unless i've mentioned it to them first. No news has been released in korean for the masses to find out about it. It has caused enourmous news in the foreign community because it is big news for us but none in the korean.
ur right that it isnt considered a major sc event for Koreans but rather a insider news. only thing ive found on korean sites were forum posts in pgr21.com

Looks like 4-1 or 3-2 Asia's favor

I think Zeus has a >50% chance of winning vs Mondragon, but that match is most up for grabs I think (I was under the impression breakdown's ZvZ > Sen's, but I don't really know anything about Sen).
Seems about right, but I would be inclined to give Zeus/Mondi to Mondi just because it's a ZvP. If Mondi is capable of beating any of the pros on Asia Zeus is clearly his best shot.
Should be really cool. GO Europe!
umm where did you get the idea that zeus is "clearly" worse than christian, pj, or sen? ....
Learn to read smart guy. Are Beast, PJ and Sen Pro gamers? You have a terrible habit of trying to shoot everyone down just for the sake of being a jack ass and this is at least the 5th time you've done it to me.
Obviously Mondi would have a better chance against a foreigner, anyone would, but putting the MVP of Europe against anyone but one of the pros makes no sense.
Eri made best job of selecting matches ever, Europe is going to win.. All must understand that koreans dont know the maps and dont have the best strategies like on for example nostalgia or so. 3-2 or 4-1 win for Europe i guess and hope
