SlayerBoxer vs Nada: Bracket C is kind of stacked hoping this matchup will happen. I don't think Nada will have any problem getting to the Ro16, but Boxer has to face Gas, who was previously on TSL (but no longer is, so perhaps he isn't that good,) and potentially Loner as well, the third foreigner in the tourney. Based on what little we've seen from Boxer, I'm not super confident he'll get to Ro16, but anything's possible.
He's on a horse. I am actually really interested to see if Nada and BoXeR could play as well as they did in their prime. There should be no medical reason for them to not do so, of course I don't think they will show their full potential in the first tourney they visit.

Fruitdealer, Ensnare, TLO, PhoenixWeRRA in Bracket A.
Rainbow, Tankboy, and Clide in Bracket B.
BoxeR, NaDa in bracket C.
Idra, Maka, Nestea and TheWinD in bracket D.
Can't wait.

I would like to know how they make these brackets. Is it seeding or did they draw?
Groups A and B looks way harder for me then the other two ones.
|
Bracket C is clearly the weakest, in my opinion. But I'd love a Boxer vs Nada Final in Bracket C.
TLO in the same quarter as Fruit Dealer...ouch. But: GO TLO. You need to win against everyone anyways to win the whole thing.
Maka is in D? I thought he withdraw. Ok. Nice. Even though I don't like him that much, he is always so......unemotional :/
|
"Garnet" in bracket C. Funny name.
In German, "gar net" means sth like "not at all" in a certain dialect.
|
i got clide winning this whole thing
|
boxer and nada probably overrated. as probably the protoss players. i'm gonna bet protoss players will struggle.
|
gah....inca vs clide already in Ro32, that's pretty fucked up - I could've seen both going to the semi-finals
also NEXGenius on the same "side" of bracket B, really bad brackets from a protoss-point-of-view
|
TLO starting against Sangho... I hope he'll make it
|
How embarassing would it be to lose to a guy named chicken combo, watch out idrA, haha.
|
Bracket A - As everyone and their mother has said, it's disappointing to see TLO face off against Sangho in the first round. Hopefully TLO takes him, but no one knows how well Sangho plays yet, he's a BW pro, but didn't TLO upset a BW pro last season? If he can beat Sangho I can see him doing well in his bracket, though I don't think he has a chance against Hongun, Ensnare, or FruitDealer I think he would get knocked out by FD in the round of 16. I'm predicting FD vs Ensnare for this one, though I could see HongUn upsetting Ensnare.
Bracket B - The toughest one yet. I'm really disappointed to see Clide vs TankBoy, Tankboy gave me one of my favorite matchups last season in the 32. Really, this bracket is made for Hope, I only see him having issue with Clide or Inca, but he'll only have to face one of them. His side he'll wipe the floor, Check is my second favorite Zerg next to FD, but we saw last season how he was manhandled by Hope. I predict HopeTorture vs Inca, though I'd be really happy to see Genius or JookTo pull through that side (unlikely though).
Bracket C - Obvious bracket manipulation here by the guys at GSL and I don't blame them, they want to see Boxer vs Nada, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'm going to say Polt vs Nada. Polt is a really underrated Prime player, and I hate to say, but I don't think Boxer's going to make it past him. I don't know anything about Loner though. Realistically though, I think this one is anyone's game.
If Idra can make it out of his side I honestly see him being mopped by Maka. We'll see what kind of new strategies he's been brewing up, but Idra has a very good structured playstyle, but Maka is way too unpredictable. Idra's got a tough road against Gon and MVP though. I'll say Idra vs Maka here, but I would be really happy to see theWind make it through.
Wow, that was much longer than I expected.

Awesome, can't wait for this season... epic!

He played as seriously as you can with that amount of lag and when playing right in the morning after waiting for TT1 til 2 am the night before.
I think nobody really knows if SangHo is any good, will be very interesting.

i dunno why this loss is considered something shameful.
people just like to disregard NA servers because they were weaker during the beta.
Should i remind you that TT1 also eliminated both oGsGon and Dimaga from Global Gamers?

Holy shit bracket A
Come on TLO will have to beat Sangho, Cool, Phoenix and probably Hongun to get out.

TLO is gonna rip SangHos face off! Sorry to all the fanboys 
Shame to see Nada and Boxer in the same bracket :s
|
Idra's got a lot of no names until hits the later rounds, I don't think he's got a good excuse not to do well.
