It's going to be very interesting watching the top Korean players taking on the top NA and EU players. I wonder if the Koreans are really that much better. dunno if you can how tester stacks up, but he beat ITR in kotbh, and idra beat tester (split series?) i think ensnare could be the best on their team tho. Tester actually won on overall matches. 2-0 and then losing 2-3, which would be 4-3. I'm quite certain if they played a Bo11 Tester would beat Idra. well the chances of this tourney or any other event in the history of sports using a best of 11 are pretty fuckin slim, so im going to give the best of 5 in a finals of a major tourney edge to IdrA still until he proves us wrong.
He's lost to tester in two series before and lost in overall games at the KotB tournament. He did win 3-2 in the finals, but I wouldn't give him the edge, I'd still say he's the underdog. In all the games they have played, Tester has a 2:1 W/L ratio against Idra.

wow OGS is gonna hurt !
i won't be surprise to see a 100% korean finale.
EU fighting !!!
|
Wow, oGs confirmed... This is going to be even more awesome!
|
Madfrog hasn't confirmed? Damn it all.
|
If you lose one more person, please consider inviting Devembre. His stream is the most popular zerg player here, he plays tons of games in EU, and i think can compete really well.
|
Wow, what a huge tournament. I hope HD and Husky can run this without falling apart, can't imagine how hard it must be to organize this many players from so many places + time zones to play against each other. My advice would be to only start revealing and casting the games when the tourneys either done or over halfway finished. Otherwise theres probably gonna be pretty big delays in between rounds
|
yeaaahhhhh OGS is finally in da house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG cool is gonna play! Smexxxi. Has he really confirmed that he will play zerg?
|
hasn't Cool been playing as Random recently? Would be really nice to have more Random players (btw does Tasteless play as Random or Terran this time?)
speaking of Random players, would be awesome to have dayvie aka David Kim, Blizzard's balance tester, Diamond ranked Random player in this as well. CowGoMoo might've said Blizzard employees cannot participate in tournaments, but maybe if dayvie donated the money he might win...
also hadn't ITR from oGs confirmed playing in this? or is he one of the Terran players that had already confirmed from oGs and no one realised he was under that alias?
and there still aren't 60 players yet. would be nice to see Silver despite the fact that there are already enough Terran players and a lack of Protoss players

And yet again, where is the proof that he really is David Kim. Haven't seen any. (except that he played with that name in beta or some shit, but hey, there's tens of IdrA's and TLO's aswell.

I don't think someone that is faking that name would make it to #1 in the latter, http://sc2ranks.com/

well he was ranked #1 for a while, in case he's the real one he should know how the ladder exactly works so he could've abused it to get to #1, and if not, well getting to #1 probably means that player is still very good anyway (or just cheeses most games with whatever race he randoms).
someone claimed somewhere dayvie had been asked if he's the real one and he said no, but he could've just lied; there's no way to find out unless David Kim himself actually admits it's him
but regardless of the fact whether he's the Diamond ranked dayvie or not, the real one could still be invited with the condition of donating any money he might win if Blizzard allows that

Any idea why into the rainbow isn't playing?

It'd be nice to have a side showmatch with David Kim.
|
oGs in the house! The stage has been set for some awesome games.
|
dayvie =/= David Kim. He said so himself.
|
Would like to see Sliver he won the iCCup TV Challenge like a week ago and won over Idra, QXC, and Huk.
