I stop reading after group C: too much sarcasm and bad humour imo

Edit: almost disrespectful for the players imo

Anyone else think it's hilarious that the only Terran representation in the opening video is a crumbling burning battlecruiser? (in the animated stuff, obviously not referring to the actual ingame footage

I just don't think you've reached a high enough level of analysis.

In addition i completely missed the sarcasm. You got me lol

Thanks for the writeup. I don't really get the group C summary. Like, it was obviously being ironic or something, but I don't know what it was getting at.
Also, what's the XlorD joke? I feel like I heard it, but I cannot remember.

I would argue that A is harder than D. D has 2 Koreans and 2 nearly-Koreans. Group A has 3 Koreans. The top 3 advance.

I am almost more excited about what level of production Dreamhack has in store for us this time than the actual players and matches.

Almost.....

Group C preview had obvious sarcasm and humor if you knew the players you would understand why what's been said, no reason to be angry, none of it is disrespectful to the players.

Translation Group C in non-sarcastic:

-monchi has the potential to get out, as his recent performances showed that he has a lot of upsetpotential
-Nerchio is the favourite to take the group
-TLO practiced his ass off, so he should be a solid second place contender, if not first place
-Targa can take the group through his aggressive play (I don't know his playstyle, but because practically everything is reversed in this preview, I guess he is super aggressive)
-Dimaga couldn't impress in 2012, but he gets the credit of the doubt for past achievements. Still highly unlikely to make it out of the group though.
