After seeing Polt on quite a few international events, his performance and charisma are very enjoyable. I'm cheering for him.

Parting has the best PvT because he beat Jjakji last season? Lol his greedy builds got absolutely destroyed by Code S terrans after that. Fin and Polt/Oz will advance.

Why is ForGG an elephant?

He is an ex-brood war Starleague champion! The esports elephant seems most appropriate!

This is one of the most intense groups i think i have ever seen in the gsl, looking throught the bets i deff had a hard time deciding on who to bet for but i ended up with polt/forgg

I would put Polt and PartinG on about even footing. Both are especially good against their opponent's race. That matchup will be one to watch.
I expect Oz to win if it comes to PvP but lose TvP versus both of these players (for the reasons in the OP).
But as much as I like Polt and want to see him advance, I sort of expect him to go down 2-1 versus Fin. Obviously he didn't win the Super Tournament by having terrible TvT, but it's not been good for him lately. (49% in Korea!) Fin already has a 2-0 record vs. Polt, more rest, and time to plan. That particular prediction is definitely a case of Fionn's wishful thinking taking over.
So let's look at this. Let's say PartinG beats Polt: Parting > Polt; Fin > Oz Parting ? Fin, Oz < Polt EITHER: Fin advances with winner of PartinG vs. Polt; or, PartinG advances with Fin (due to Fin > Polt)
Now let's say Polt beats PartinG in the first match: Polt > Parting; Fin > Oz Polt < Fin; Parting < Oz Fin advances; Polt > Oz and Polt advances.
So that means Fin has a really good chance of advancing either way, and Oz probably drops. Polt or PartinG advancing will come down to their direct matchup. And they've never met each other in a tourney game, so... tough call. I'll go with my heart and say Fin and Polt advance. But of course an upset could happen and I'd be dead wrong. In any case, this is quite a tough group... as are many of the Code S groups these days.
|
Parting for sure. And prolly Polt. Parting's PvT will put him into winners. Oz's PvT will send him into losers. PvP won't be a factor in this group.
On a totally different topic. If parting and oz fused into one player he would be the greatest player in the galaxy.... Tastetosis! Make it happen!
|
ForGG and Polt I hope. Polt is a nice guy and so as Fin :D And I hope Fin Prepared enough.
|
i just realized... this groups stacked as fuck O.o a lot of the groups have been actually, thats why i love the new code S format, it really shows who belongs and who got lucky.
|
Never doubt the Pretender, or else you'll be Fin-ished and begging For that GG.
Good write-up. I'm very excited about this group. All are fine players, and I would cheer for them all if I was not a raging ForGG fanboy.
|
W00t! I feel soooo cool for having the same predictions for in-depth reasons...
|
Why the misogyny? Really ugly.
|
Parting > Polt Fin > Oz Parting > Fin
You almost had me for a second, I was thinking "What is this? They're not predicting Polt to advance after his recent results? Has Fionn been fired???". Then I read the rest..
Polt > Oz Polt > Fin
|
There was a time when Oz's PvT was his best match up. I don't really think he's awful at it now, he's just in a kind of slump. I say that because when I watch his PvTs, I don't see any flaws that tell me that he doesn't understand the matchup, I just see that he makes a lot of little mistakes that get him in bad shape throughout the game.
He has the potential to beat all of these players. I just hope he can.

lol at the picture of an elephant for forgg!
Parting and Polt for me.
