Just a quick fact that I know 100% of people here dont know, but it is still worth mentioning.

Levin is actually REALLY good, and get this: he`s almost 31 years old and he`s a full time doctor and barely plays SC2. He beat Tunico in WCS South America, who`s only 19 years old and despite him going to college, at that time he used to play almost full time SC2.

Levin has been playing online games for ages, and he was quite successful at Warcraft III, he managed to beat players like Madfrog and suho (top night elf player from China).

Im almost sure he will not go through his group, but he`s a legend around here. Of all WCS players qualified, he`s the only one who does not play SC2 profissionaly.

Folha de Sao Paulo a famous newspaper here in Brazil interviewed him and the title says "Dr. Gamer" ( http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/fsp/tec/77509-doutor-gamer.shtml ).

Anyway, I`m just saying these things because it`s really worth mentioning it. A nice curiosity

ps: On the link it says Levin has been engaged to his girlfriend for 15 years hahaha... I dont know how the hell you can delay the marriage so much hahaha


i actually remember levin from wc3, didnt know he was 31 and a full time doctor haha, thx for the info, nice to know these fun facts

I don't know these days, but I remember being very impressed by Scarlett's debut. I was not getting the feeling of pure boring "pseudo-foreigner-over-defensive-i can only macro brainlessly and try to disguise it as conservative absorbtion-brood war style" over it at first glance.


That's because that style hadn't truly proliferated to the extent it has 6 months later.

Now that's all ANY foreign zerg ever does most of the time, but back then it didn't carry the same kind of stigma.

Plus I feel like a lot of people get free passes on HOW they win when they are unknown rising stars, but when they become known players with fan followings they get added pressure on them to produce games with particular style and flair.


Well..personally I feel I have seen this style since day 1 of Sc2, but I agree it has become even more like this with broodlord/infestor. This style has had a stigma ever since BW..a style for people who can't control the direction of games with agressive skill and game sense, trying to abuse impatience and somehow thinking it takes skill..then again, the style was also used by skilled players, but in a more counter-aggro-fun to watch manner. SC2 hasn't evolved enough where players can destroy this easily yet, but I look forward to the day you have to micro the crap out of your units even defensively to even have a chance against top tier players. It just bores the hell out of me to watch this style when it is not coupled with skill-based stuff..when even intel is not needed. The best players never use it because you almost always give away control to the other player by doing this straight forward..it's really a survival game for lesser players done on it's own.

I agree on the "HOW" they win thing..it is easy to get impressed by newcommers and make it more than it is.

2nd place RSL (4-3 to Leenock), AK Dignitas, IPL's world vs korea qualifier. She also beat both Bomber and HerO in the last MLG to tie with Suppy as the fourth highest placed non-korean. And all of that is just in the last month.


She was the only player in RSL to play on her own server, the only players on Dignitas worth beating are JR and Bischu now, whoop-de-do she beat Catz and Suppy so far.

She went 2-2 at MLG. She lost to Daisy, who is essentially a European Protoss. Hero can't beat Zergs lately. The Bomber games were impressive though.


So how does that line up against your statement that she hasn't done anything but beat NA players? She is significantly better than most if not all of the other NA players.

Predicitons seemed nice unitl i read. Nerchio < Scarlett. When Nerchio has a strong MU it´s ZvZ .He will go through Scarlett like a knife trough butter 100%.

I dont see how Scarlett can beat best foreign ZvZ player sry, last group should be Nerchio/Creator.


Scarlett has probably practiced with Nerchio alot way before this tournament.. They're teammates it will come down to who can meta game the other better and who can out play each other. You obviously haven't seen Scarlett's ZvZ in team leagues or even just 1v1 tournaments... Her ZvZ is actually pretty good especially if she can take out Code A koreans in that MU...

lol clearly this guy didnt even read the preview, where the writer puts justification for this pick ( a recent win over Nerchio and Vortix, the two best European zergs outside of stephano). Scarletts ZvZ is top notch, anyone who cant see that is crazy.


I cant wait to watch Groups E and H, but they really need rank the groups instead of random draw. We have 2 champions in 1 group from 2 of the 3 major areas.

Sadly this tournament has to go a very specific way to hold my interest because of grouping. An all korean round of 8 would be a snoozer.

If Scarlett > Nerchio then why would Acer choose Nerchio over Scarlett as ace player in team matches? Seems like NA bias :/

Other than that great read.

There are only 7 Koreans in this whole thing. RorO, Curious, both herO and HerO, Creator, Rain and PartinG.

Scarlett and Nerchio are pretty damn close in skill, I think it's reasonable for the article to read the way it does. You could easily make the case either way. They both have 1 major tournament win, both have taken out some pretty great players over the past few months, but both lose to some players they probably shouldn't.

Yeah, 2 foreigners are guaranteed in the RO8, B and G are all foreigner groups and their 1st and 2nd places play each other in RO16. If all goes well, we'll have two Spanish players in the Round of 8.

I have the faith in HerO! not the kespa hero, but the liquid hero, even though the other hero will advance too... gah it is all just so confusing. Anyway I'm going with HerO/Stephano, Curious/CJhero, Insur/Lucifron, and Creator/Scarlett. Probably my only real upset pick is for Insur to advance over lowely.
