Predictions are predictions. They're for fun, and very often wrong. Don't take them as gospel, we don't know what's going to happen either.

IdrA’s mood will also have a lot to do with what calibre of player he can draw out and who he can defeat.



lol. funny, but very accurate I'd say. great write-up.

That's just for GSTL.

In foreign events it's too imbalanced. xD

teamleagues are easily my favorite type of competition, so I love that TL is giving this tournament even more hype with the fornt page article :D Also I never knew the the proleague was the bigger deal in BW, with all the talks of OSL and MSL titles from fans. That makes it even more strange that teamleagues aren't as popular in SC2

Thank you Team Liquid for giving this great tournament more hype and exposure. I am so thankful that I am not even going to call you out for putting TL over the GSTL and KSL champion team. Best of luck to Liquid and I hope for a Liquid upset.

But seriously, this is an amazing teamleague with some of the best teams in the world, and I would love to see some foreign teams do well and get upsets.

Vile is the real darkhorse team of this tournament, I would love to see these guys, who surprised many people by not only qualifying but by also beating Zenex convincingly, to do well, maybe even beat FXO. I am probably dreaming, but there seems to be a lot of potential in that roster. Go Vile!

also since this is an online tournament it lets more of liquids players compete. I think only Huk and Jinro were in korea on TL when they were together in the GSTL.

This is going to be amazing! Team leagues are always my favorite, and as someone who joined esports at SCII I guess im in the minority, but I always root for teams rather than players, and then players rather than race. (I feel like too many foreigners choose their favorites by race-->player) Gogo NSHS, and gogo Empire!

Yeah, it was definitely a bit of an experiment on my part and I'll certainly have to tweak it if I ever use a similar layout in the future so it doesn't scrunch up on the right side so much. <3

Awesome write up! Can't say I agree with all the predictions, but arguing about this stuff is one of the best things about the game.

love experiments, but cutting the width by 50% and black text on dark grey bg was not the best idea imho^^

So, this article predicts than all Korean vs Foreigner matches will end in foreign victory. What's next, cArn defeats MVP 2-0 in next season's code A ? It's not that I don't want it to happen, but seriously...

When the entire bulk of the article is about predicting the outcomes of the matches, I would expect the predictions and associated comments to at least be somewhat believable. Read the BW Proleague write ups and look at the predictions there. They are always very insightful and often correct.

MVP is gonna 5-1 or 5-2 liquid. Haypro, Sheth, Ret, Tyler, Jinro won't win a game. Zenio might win a ZvZ. Hero might do well, but is not playing well at all atm. MVPfinale is probably better than every player on Liquid. As is Keen, DRG, Genius, SC.

Even with TSL's roster being a little weakened and drama abound in the house, I don't see how you could predict them losing 2-5 to ReIGN.

ReIGN is a fantastic team and all, but I think half of TSL's current roster could all-kill them without batting an eye. Inori, while good, is a PvP sniper for the most part, of which TSL only has Dream and Cyrano (You neglected to mention Dream in the write-up by the way).

Terran they have Polt, who could probably sweep ReIGN with one hand, and possibly even Ultimate. Also, Heart has been reported to have not left the team, but only the house and could still possibly be playing for IPL TAC.

Zerg is where they need to be feared the most right now: Symbol recently SMASHED through the Iron Squid Qualifier #1, stepping over Polt and Shine, both teammates, in the Semi-Finals and Finals respectively. Shine also has shown strong play lately, as well as HyuN Qualifying for Code A faster than even fOrGG. RevivaL as well has shown incredible play in the past, and word is that RagnaroK is in the team house as well currently.

Of ReIGN's current roster, I think only Artist and Kiwikaki stand a chance of taking games, and I don't think Artist could compete with any of the TSL Zergs in a macro game. Even if he does, Polt will just take him in a TvT and use his mighty marauders to pummel away at Artist.

Shine and Symbol have top notch ZvZ and SLush shouldn't be a problem for either of them to take out should it come to that.

Kiwikaki would easily fall to Polt's TvP in just about any situation, especially given Polt's recent dismantling of HerO in the NASL Sunday Showmatch.

Other than that, good write-up. I can't wait for the IPL TAC broadcasts!
