He was but only partially. He picked on the spot but forgot to cross of his paper list, resulting in one of his mistakes being due to picking a player that was already picked. (At least so I remember)

Hmmm, PuMa picking Welmu really messed up the rest of our draft. We were very very wary of Welmu; I think PuMa would have no trouble against a foreign zerg, but by picking Welmu, one of Europe's more dangerous protsses, he''s inviting a bit of danger. Doesn't mean PuMa won't win, but Welmu is a much stronger player than the third picking would suggest. Certainly better than Daisy, whom PuMa avoided. Koreans will always avoid picking another Korean I think, even a Korean living in Europe.
Doesn't mean it's the best decision!

I'm watching it now, thats exactly how he did it. He wasn't completely specific with players, he'd pick 2-3 choices that the player would make.

Starts around 15 minutes in.
Despite that, Apollo did insanely well, to the point that JP had to remind the viewers that Apollo wasn't cheating and was making the predictions legitimately.

You'd better fuck shit up.

Uhhh, I thought top 8 from Spring Champ are seeded into arena. Where's DRG? Where's MKP? This list makes no sense.
|
to me TOP and sortof are the most interesting players in this
really interested if they can do something here
|
stephano will never pick goody after his loss against him in berlin (and goody will be pick first by alica) and grubby will never pick roof. I hope that sortof will make a great run, because he is playing really good lately.

Awesome write up... Loving the mock draft style post..... things ended up panning out differently than many of the predictions but well worth the read anyways.
|
I am hoping LosirA will come to play instead of being the tourist and enjoying the trip to the US. His play often is as good as ever his mental state seems shaky ever sinds ... Oh well Hoping for a Grubby showing aswell :D
|
i seriously don't get why TOP got shit on so bad in this. I have a feeling he's going to show better games than expected. And as for doing nothing, qualifying for OSL over a lot of people that should have is a start considering he's teamless and his only avenue to really show performance is to qualify for GSL again, which isn't exactly easy.

This article needs to be cleaned up. You should hire someone (me) to proof read these things.
While a lot of the foreigners left are players who have been building moment recently,
After seeing him crush MC, HerO, and Alicia at NASL, you may have been led to believe that Stephano's best match-up is ZvT. We beg to differ. Scary as it might seem, we believe that Stephano playing ZvT post-queen patch is even more formidable
Good overall read though. Stephano is likely going to face 2 ZvZ's after QXC, so the bottom half of the bracket is hard to predict. I can see Alicia coming out of the top half, he has some nasty all-ins for Ryung if he advances vs Sheth.
I also think Puma was correct in picking Welmu. Tefel is good and TvZ is tough these days.

Man, whoever writes these arcticles for TL definitely doesn't know much about the European scene and is very biased towards Koreans. I really want to enjoy these articles, but it just doesn't work out.
