Bonjwa -> Banjo, other than that I don't really know.

Its from Reddit. I don't know why teamliquid stole it though.

Thanks for the writeup, but it does seem very biased. Sure MC, JYP and HerO are all beatable, but there's no way that they aren't favourites for top 3. I don't think they will be top 3, because there's at least 1 top foreigner that I'd give at least a 50/50 chance of knocking them out but they're still the most likely top 3.

My predictions for the group stages:

Group A

ThorZaIN
Socke
Nerchio
iNcontroL


Group B


MarineKing

HasuObs
viOLet
Delphi

I don't know how much viOLet is actually practicing, HasuObs could definitely make it out of this group.


Group C

DIMAGA
Attero
Adelscott
ReaL

I don't know much about ReaL, except that he's Korean and lost to Elfi in a PvP (which doesn't mean much).

Group D

MC
ClouD
White-Ra (Replacement will be announced soon)
Aures

Depends if the replacement is better than ClouD or not.

Group E

JYP
DarkHydra (Replacement for DeMusliM)
DarKFoRcE
BlinG
DarKFoRcE will be way too distracted to win a game.




Group F


HerO

Naama
KawaiiRice
Haypr0

Banjo I believe!

Group G

Stephano
Sound
MoMaN
NightEnD


Group H


Ret
Grubby
GoOdy
Destiny

It's not from Reddit or Teamliquid.

Like all original things on the internet, it's from 4chan. Banjo is a frequent visitor/poster in /v/, and his nickname came to be Banjo... because he kinda sucked for a long time, and there were rumors of him losing to medium AI (lol). Anyway it's a play on bonjovi.

Now Banjo is like the biggest name on /v/ and pretty much all of 4chan cheers him at every event. Kinda like Sheth or Hero for TL.

I listen to the interview and I just wonder why there were so many questions about alcohol, drinking and any "after party" scandal situations. And the "dating idea" ... Lets convince Take to make a room were they can "do it" and stream this with commentary. Yea that's what community want. Someone watched to much MTv or something... I really hope that Im not the only one who doesnt like that idea.

Even though Take himself agreed that HSC is something like "Big Brother" this show should not be about how wasted was some player next day or something like that. I really do not like the hype about how much alcohol the players will drink there, I dont care how much bear and vodka will be bought for HSC when 15k viewers will be reached as mention by Mr.Bitter or Rotti on US qualifiers for HSC played on esl.tv . A really do not like the alcohol and sex issues connected to esport as a whole, like for example the "lap dance" stream by Take some long time ago or even the SotG 60 with inControl drinking quite a lot wine at once and open another bottle. Sorry but that was impressive to whom ... some 14-years old maybe (I know there a lot of you, 14-years old sc2 fans out there, and I know that you did much worse things than this, but still ... ).

But back to topic. I have three levels of spending time with friends: hanging with friends (little to nothing alcohol), party (sure amounts of alcohol) and party hard (no comments on that one). I consider the HSC as a tournament right between level 1 and 2, all thought it may be a little bit more for some, but it would be wrong if such information spread. And so in my opinion every question about who was drunk, who puke, etc. are dropping the TL staff member who do that to a "News of the World" tabloid journalist level looking for something "interesting", while TL as a whole is as Times/Forbes of sc2 scene (and esport in general).

Player are humans like everyone else is. I like the idea that they can have fun at the HSC even if they get kicked out in the group stage. Why shouldnt they drink? I enjoy this event more than any other, because there the players, behave like normal people and enjoy themselves!

I'm pretty sure you're the only one who doesn't like it.

Of course they are. Im not saying that they should not drink. I was young too, but that was long time ago :-). Im just saying it should not be presented as main information connected with HSC. I prefer to think about this tournament as a meeting of friends and not as alcohol marathon with wasted players. And looking for such "interesting" information is in my opinion wrong.
