When tester and intotherainbow play... since ITR has been using testers account for the entire tournament, what account is he gonna use against tester himself? O.o lol. just a thought.

Also. what are the chances of TLO beating one of them? So far it seems that ITR and tester have been taking advantage of the thought processes of the players in this tournament and using out-of-the-box strategies to beat them, for example Tester walling off idras ramp with the pylons because he knows that idra loves to do the same macro build with the expand almost every game he plays.

It seems to me that TLO is the only player who consistently is inconsistent, meaning that he doesnt always do the same thing and is the most adaptable and fluid of the non-koreans, therefore being the only one who actually possibly beat them? even so. it seems to me that Tester has not yet actually been in a situation where he has had to reveal all his skills yet. never really in that tight of a spot so far... and a lot of people say hes the best toss in the world. so i think he would still beat TLO. I dont know much about intotherainbow though. whos better?
who macro's? real men 6 pool.

I think if Tester and ITR end up playing in the finals, they would just play on the Asian server.

I think TLO is the only foreigner with a chance in this tournament, maybe idra.

Tester > TLO 2-0
Tester is simply too good. I will definitely be rooting for TLO, but I just don't think he will be strong enough to take a game from the most talented SC2 player in the beta.

Qxc > Dimaga 2-1
Qxc doesn't get enough credit. He is not so bad and I do recall dimaga getting beat by painuser in this exact matchup and I feel that qxc is stronger than painuser. Diamga seems to love to put on early pressure lately so it will be up to Qxc to make the correct responses. I think that Day[9] is releasing the matches in the order he is because it will create more suspense on the final day. If Qxc beats Dimaga then qxc vs rainbow becomes a highly important game.

Same goes with TLO vs Idra. I think TLO loses (to Tester) and then the Idra vs TLO game will decide who advances from the group...thus producing the highest possible drama / excitement.

Tester has shown some really creative plays but I hope TLO cooks up some crazy strat to beat him. I hope QXC wins his game vs Dimaga too!

If TLO beats Tester 2-0 tonight it will be:
Idra 1-1 (2-3)
Tester 2-1 (4-2 OR 4-3)
TheLittleOne 2-0 (4-1)

Then if Idra > TLO 2-0 it would be:
Idra 2-1 (4-3)
Tester 2-1 (4-2 OR 4-3)
TheLittleOne 2-1 (4-3)

In which case Tester's ranking would matter. If he is 4-2 then he gets the 1 seed with TLO/Idra having a tiebreak. If Tester is 4-3 then it would be a 3-way tie.

The main reason [that I see] for QXC's being included in this top 8 player pool is because of the American/Terran status coupled with Day's strong affinity for him as a player. I mean, after all, iNcontroL was his gosu coaching coach. He's a solid player, but arguably not as good as the rest.

It's also hard, remember, to bring your A-game if you're
a) going up against the acclaimed best players in the world
b) not familiar with high-stake situations

I was under the impression the winner of a series almost always sends in the replays for the entire series. It would be absolutely asinine to ask one player to send in two replays and the other to send in three in a best of five that went 3-2. Trying to get correspondence from the person continuing in the tournament is about a million times more likely to succeed than getting it from the person who just walked away empty handed.


Edit 2: Made it more polite because I was being a prick. Yes I know it's quoted right below me... sorry .

Err... I found another one, mods! Go get'im! Geti'm! Yee haw.

I've been staring at a blank text box for a while now, trying to figure out where to start in telling you how wrong what you just said is. I'm having trouble finding the words.

Edit: In my blind fury, I may have misunderstood your post. I took it as you implying huk shouldve been responsible for the replay of his win even though he lost the series.

yes thats what im implying. ive been leaguing in wc3 for 4 years and this is a rule of thumb for EVERY SINGLE league. from ESL $5000 leagues to amateur leagues. the WINNER saves the maps if there is no neutral party present (host, admin). it is the players responsibility to save the games he won. Wana know why ?

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IM GONNA WIN THE SERIES WHEN ITS TIED 1-1? oh im vsing tester and its 1-1, whos gonna save that 2nd game ?? both(ya that woulda worked out well we would have the 2nd game huk won if he saved it when he won the map..)? no one knows whos gonna win the third. although now we have the last 10 reps being auto saved

but nonetheless it is the winners responsibility to save the maps he won. if ur opp. wishes to save it for u that is his decision. but not saving ur wins is just irresponsible.

IntoTheRainbow's play impressed a bit more people than Tester's, while Tester's group B is definitely considered the stronger one. For both matches today, at least 3 of 5 people expect an ace game. Most voters share the same opinion about the final outcome from Group A, but when it comes to Group B the opinions are quite split.

TLO will be the only one to get close to beating Tester I think. He'll probably still get 2-0'd though,
