reading comprehension not your strong suit ? At least 10 people have said already that the players could pick one map that CANT be played twice, brat didnt pick wuthering.

JianFei CAN beat Draco. People seem to think Draco lives on another plane where he can't lose. PvP is a volatile, random matchup. Draco looked very solid against Nony, but shaky against White-Ra.

After seeing Draco's games against Nony and White-Ra, I can't see how you'd think draco will beat JF 3-0...
Nony surely was playing a lot worse than I've seen him play PvP and still pretty much had 2 of the 3 games in the bag, but lost due to stupid mistakes.
And White-Ra, although I really am a fan, is nowhere near JF's level in that particular matchup.

Seriously, if you haven't, watch the Ascension games. JF is a monster, especially in PvP.

all suits are strong for me. no matter what card you play, i trump it.
i didn't read the 32 pages of comments.

ok, so now i wonder why brat didn't veto wuthering. i guess there was some plan behind it...

also, why not play 5 different maps? eg: game 1 on a well established, balanced map like python or something?
i guess i should be glad no games were on troy - that map sucks!

You can`t make any error if you want to win Draco. His game is very solid. Nony played very well but make a few mistakes in every game.

Now Draco had enough PvP practice vs ra and nony...

... so GO JF !

GG Brat, I hope you get the bronze

Draco so much?

Maybe because of this:
# 3rd place, GGL AmeriCup
# 1st place, TANL-3
# 1st place, Rymarov Spring 2007
# 2nd place, ToT invite.
# 2nd place, Eurocup.
# 1st place, WCG Poland 2006
# 1st Place, DreamHack 2006
# 1st place, ESPGL
# 2nd place WCG Poland 2004
# 2nd Place TANL-2
# 1st Place Rymarov Spring 2005
# 1st Place Rymarov Summer 2005
# 1st Place Warsaw Game Show 2005
# 3rd place PGR21
And much more.

I don't think IefNaij is so much better than White-Ra or Nony.

Why do people overrate Draco so much?

Might be because:
1) He ranked #2 on the ladder and the #1 player is off.

2) He just made it to the finals of TSL. That would mean he is top 2 in the star league. He would be rated #1 or #2 overall depending on the outcome.

3) He looked extremely tight against Strelok and Nony and we know both those guys are great players.

4) He has very good credentials throughout his Broodwar career.

I don't know if anyone is saying JF is bad or anything, but Draco has to be considered one of the top players outside of South Korea based off of the results he has posted in TSL. No matter what happens he is one of the top 2, and I would expect about 60% of the fanbase to pick him to win.

He is a very good player.

With all that out of the way:

GOOD LUCK JF!!! GIVE HIM HELL! :D

JF vs Draco will be a good match, but I can't understand why people think Draco will 3-0 him. I guess its possible, but I don't see it as likely. Draco had a close, 3-2 series against White Ra, and JF dominated White Ra when they played in Ascension.
