Boxer vs Gas, Nada vs 'Cargo' some more notable match-ups.
|
sweet! cant wait to see the rest
TYPE FASTER PACHI!
xD
|
woo pachi!
Boxer v Gas?! Crazy first match up already.
Edit: Aw man...Clide v Tankboy, I wanted to see a bit more of tankboy's play before he'd get Cliiiiided.
|
Oooh idra vs a terran. Should be fun can't wait for this to start going ^^. Lots of zvt omg must watch them all!
|
Nada and Boxer in the same bracket??
|
TLO has a tough bracket....

TLO vs SangHo(babybyebye)
|
wow... HopeTorture vs FlintZenith first round in bracket B is going to be so brutal.
|
gsl2 is going to be more epic than gsl, also excited to see how nada and boxer do/
idra and tlo fighting !
|
Wouldn't sangho be a tough match for TLO? He's weak TvP, and sangho is a bw progamer... wasn't he a-team on estro?

Yeah if FlintZenith beats HopeTorture, that'd be brutal taking down 2 heroes (including Tester)
|
Why is Boxer in there twice? Once in bracket A as Boxer and once in bracket C as Manofoneway?
|
BoxeR vs BabyWeRRa in Bracket A.
ManofOneway vs Happiness in Bracket C.
Did the fake BoxeR qualify as well, or is that just a mix-up?

uh, i thought he got it easy first round 
Hope he does well.
Idra has a hard group also.

if TLO and Boxer could make it up to Ro16 that would mean they would fight each other. That would be mindblowing.
|
Good to see FlintZenith is going to get crushed.
What? He knocked out my favorite player.
|
Bracket B is stacked...ITR, Inca, NexGenius AND Clide.
Bracket D is also pretty sick...Idra, MVP, Zenio, Maka, Iron (oGsMC).
Oh, and before someone asks...BoxeR in bracket A is NOT THE REAL BOXER. The real BoxeR is Manofoneway in bracket C.
Edit: sigh, four guys already asked while I was typing this post =/

The BoxeR in A is fake. Manofoneway is boxer's id in sc2.

Hopefully SangHo is like Nestea/Zergbong (ie. pretty bad, specially for a ex BW progamer) and TLO will advance... his TvP is definitely his weakest though.

TLO vs. SangHo in the 1st round is such a hard rooting choice.
|
Nice really nice, this is really packed

Who is IdrA playing against?
|
Man IdrA and TLO are going to be even more famous for consistently qualifying for the biggest Korean/Worldwide tournament.

Yeah who's IdrA's opponent? And also where's Cool?

Sad that the possibility of a Boxer/Nada final is out but I hope they make it to the final of their bracket for a good match.

AKA Chickencombo in the R&S thread. IdrA better not lose to someone named Chickencombo.
If he beats chickencombo he'll probably have to play oGsGon. That's gonna be a tough Ro32 for a Zerg, playing against an oGs Terran.

At first glance, group B looks to be the most difficult?

Group C is, try getting out of there without being demolished by ManOfOneWay or Nada.
|
Ouch possible Inca vs Clide in Ro32, TLO with a difficult TvP in the first round, IdrA needs to go through several Terrans, including Gon. This will be a very interesting tournament to watch.

Yeah, I'm not incredibly familiar with a lot of the players, but from the names I recognize, it looks like groups B and D are harder, and A and C are easier. It looks like GOM wants fruitdealer and Boxer/NaDa to make it as far as possible, which is definitely a good business decision. Still, it's not entirely fair for the players in B and D like IdrA.
Of course, maybe I'm wrong and some of the players I don't recognize are actually incredibly beastly and the brackets are the opposite of how I'm seeing it.

Group C is actually by far the most interesting bracket.
We have Boxer, Nada, Loner and Lyn...none of these guys are real tournament favourites, but they are famous in their own right and are kind of unknown elements when it comes to actual skill. It's really difficult to predict how things will pan out but we should get some interesting matches...
|
Man,... Inca vs Clide in ro32.. not happy bout that. , Im hoping tlo and fruit dealer face of in ro16.. looks like a good possibility. Im tired of all these people saying how fruit dealer will just crush him, Not saying tlo is better than fruit dealer, but it's not gonna be a blow out by any means.. unless fruit dealer got a lot better in between seasons.
|
Hoping for a TLO vs Fruitdealer match. Too bad it wouldn't be the final, but id like to see those guys clash!
Wow, the B bracket is looking INSANE! definitely the toughest imo.

Hah according to google translate it's "smooth chicken." But it doesn't matter because all talk of him will disappear once he is eliminated in the Ro64

Since Gas is in TSL I'm assuming he's no pushover; there'd probably be better choices if the GSL staff wanted to give Boxer an easy opponent.

Gas left TSL. I bet he got tired of everyone making fun of him for nearly losing to a K-Pop idol.
|
First game tonight(or morning for some), right?
|
Group C is the easiest by far. Either Boxer or Nada should get to R4, assuming they don't screw up.
lol if idra loses to a happy meal
|
I think Maka has the easiest road to ro8, Bracket B is STACKED, especially on the right side, jesus.

Games start Monday i think.

Matchups for the round of 64:
11 PvT
8 TvZ
7 PvZ
5 TvT
1 PvP
0 ZvZ
Glad theres a decent number of PvZ's, definitely my favorite matchup.
|
TLO vs Sangho right off the bat, damn. I wanted both of those two players to go far. And it just isn't right both Boxer and Nada cannot advance to the semi-finals.

I don't really like that. I wanted Boxer to lay down some rape against a no-namer.
TLO got a really tough road ahead...

He left team scv life, not the GSL.

Idra has a pretty decent bracket ^^
So excited to see Sangho vs TLO and love how many bw progamers are around.
|
wow, honestly all the brackets are pretty stacked...this is so exciting!
TLO draws SangHo first round
I heard he went against 3P in qualifiers so I assume his TvP has improved since he lost 0-3 to TTOne a while back
|
Idra should defiantly get out of that group if hes on top of his game.
|
SangHo vs TLO and Boxer vs Gas should be interesting
|
dont want to derail this thread but does anyone think blizz rigged this hard for boxer.. anyways idra fighitng, tester already knocked out he should get to round of 32 ez mode

Im looking forward to Ellen page and Britanny Spears.. i mean babybyebye's game the most.
After that would be nada/boxer's game maybe just for his popularity

TLO vs Sangho! Oh shit! Boxer has a really tough match-up too — expecting Gas to play really well.

Looks like 8 matches a day for the first four days????

This is going to be the best tournament ever. :D

Yikes Bracket B is stacked...
I'm liking IdrA's chances here... oGsGon should be a good warmup for his match with Maka ^^
who the hell is chickencombo anyways wtf lol
|
Nada and Boxer will, in the best possible situation, meet in the quarterfinals. I think that's a good thing. It's not too early so that one will knock the other one out without seeing some games while it's not too late that it will be nigh impossible to see the match.
|
Shame NaDa and Boxer would have to meet as soon as the quarterfinals if they both do well.
|
Wow, maka has an easy way up, except for maybe mvp
|
Does anyone know if its winner of Bracket A vs B and C vs D or is it A vs D and B vs C?
|
bracket b is very stacked. ITR, clide, check, genius... wow
|
Bracket C is hilarious. So setup for Boxer v Nada.
|
Sucks that NaDa and BoxeR won't be able to meet in the finals
|
I just orgasm'd over the thought of a Boxer vs Fruitdealer finale!
|
Idra have good chance of meeting Terran all the way to final
My prediction will be
RO64 vsChicken combo
RO32 vsoGsGon
RO16 vsmvp
RO8 vsMaka
RO4 vsBOXER!!!

+1 Thats exactly what i thought too haha! Looks so rigged but it will be awesome for sc2 if boxer/nada make it to semis.
Bracket C looks the easiest by far, and Bracket B the hardest.
There are some very sick first round matches
TLO vs HongUn, Idra vs NesTea, ITR vs Inca, Genius vs Hyberdub, Loner vs Nada
All these players should be at least top 16 imo but we are gonna see some early exits
|
Bracket B the hardest? Maybe. But Bracket A has the GSL1 champion and a semifinalist, while Bracket B only has the one finalist.
|
1: First post 
2: Is it me or are people overestimating (real) BoxeR's skill? Sure, I have seen replays and he is a great player, but I personally don't think he has much of a chance to get to the finals. I watched 2 series's of his, one against TLO and one against Jinro. He lost to TLO 0-2 (It might have been league games, though), and barely won 2-1 against Jinro (there are a few points in the last game where I think Jinro just made the mistake of not finishing him off)
As much as I want him to make it far, I don't think he has what it takes to make it into the finals (yet).
But who knows? Maybe I'll eat my words

Few more Zerg in the Ro64 in GSL2 Happy happy happy

Whlie you're right to be skeptical, I'm sure he gets hit on the ladder a lot, and sometimes loses. I'm sure there are also many replays of him winning 2-0 as well, but that isn't very good to put on a liquid weekly.

Bracket B is OBVIOUSLY the hardest, ITR, Inca, clide, tankboy, hyperdub, sanzenith, checkprime, jooktojung, all qualifiers for the last tourney... not to mention theres flint, who sopposedly beat tester..
Boxer and Nada got it ez for them, no real big names

MvP fighting! I think he will make top 4!
|
The brackets for Nada and Boxer are obviously stacked to give them a relatively easy time, but honestly I'm fine with that. I think it would ultimately be bad for SC2 if a beloved BW hero was crushed in the ro64 (which tbh I'm still afraid might happen.)
All in all pretty good brackets, the potential for TLO vs Fruitdealer match is exciting as well.
|
I think if Boxer just beats Gas it's a fairly simple road, though Polt and Lynn may be able to give some back. Nada by far has the easiest bracket half.

Idra better watch out, I hear ChickenCombo is a plucky young player who likes to peck away at his opponents. He has a solid original recipe play but isn't afraid to get spicy either. This is definitely going to be a tasty, tasty matchup.

I hear he has a secret BO of 11 different units and strategies.

Imagine if Artosis is in bracket D instead of Idra and he has to beat all those terrans to advance. That would be funny and awesome.

Would anyone like to do a bracket contest, like the NCAA tournament?
If you are unfamiliar, we basically all fill out the 64 person bracket, and predict all 63 games. The person that is the closest wins.
Maybe not for money, but for fame. Any takers?

lolol IdrA gonna have a finger licking good match!
KEKEKEKEKE
IdrA FIGHTINGUUUUUUUUU!!!

I think people are putting way too much stock in Boxer.
I think he probably won't make it out of RO32, RO16 at best.

i'd enter... it would be a bitch for the organizer to keep track of though.
|
Idra said that he's been refining his ZvT and has changed his style up a bit, can't wait to see what it's like. He mentioned Cool as being one of the more influential players so maybe he picked up some tactics from him. Either way he's certainly gonna get a chance to show it with 5 terrans on his side of the bracket

In semifinals, who plays who?
Winner of A vs Winner of B
or
Winner of A vs Winner of C?

I found an online bracket website that has a prediction option for "local and family tournaments" but it requires every user wishing to predict on that bracket to register- which sounds really shady to me... But it would however be the easiest way to track it across a large amount of people...
Did a site audit on the webpage, and all the contact info is completely bogus. Shady confirmed

Why would they completely prevent Boxer and Nada from playing against each other in the semis/finals? My first priority would be to separate those two.

Putting them in the same bracket is pretty much the only way to have a match between the two. They aren't on top of the game just yet.

If Bracket A vs. Bracket B, then we will probably see a Fruitdealer vs Hopetorture rematch in the semis. I am interested to see if hopetorture can play better this time around

Any chance of us getting to liquibet this?

There seems to have been a little bit of bracket rigging going on. GSL seems to have done it for balance.
7 terrans in each of the brackets except bracket c with 8
4 zerg in each bracket except bracket c with 3
5 protoss in each bracket
so for sure this bracket wasn't created through 100% randomization. Really doubt that such racial balance could have been achieved through pure randomization

We already have the liquibet system installed on this site, why can't we just use that?
It can't be too difficult to set up, all of the OSL/MSL matches were available for voting on liquibet. It's easy to use and automatically keeps track of your score and ranking among participating users.

agree.
although in that case wouldn't they want to put nada vs boxer? That would surely rack in alot more viewers.
or maybe they wanted to space the two out assuming all boxer fans are nada fans and all nada fans are boxer fans.
Surely nada and boxer will not meet in this tournament. The likeliness of that is.... next to none (IMO)

I am gonna have to find out who some of these new faces are though.. and how good they are, Lots of people that we didn't get a chance to see in S1

Bracket D is really stacked. From what I have heard Gon is one of the best players in ogs and was just upset first gsl in the prelims similar to tester and top this season. Then mvp, zenio, idra, maka, iron are all monsters.

Boxer plz go in the finals vs TLO that would be so damn awesome

To be quite honest, bracket C seems to be the easiest out of all the brackets. The path for Boxer and Nada to meet up at the finals of their brackets seems to be almost assured. I think that the Boxer v Nada "WINNER ADVANCES!" type of match is good advertisement for GSL. The fact that they can almost assure that such a big match happens and that the match has relevance is a good thing. If they were in separate brackets, then its improbable that they'd both meet up in the tourney.
Edit: damnit it too slow ^^^^

I'm psyched for the matches but disappointed to see Tankboy or Clide eliminated so early. Okay, let's be honest, it's gonna be Tankboy.

The brackets are clearly not random.
I like that there are no ZvZ and quite a few TvTs, with some luck and good Zerg play we may see better race balance in the Ro32. I think people have to stop over-hyping Boxer and Nada until they prove themselves on SC2. As it is I wouldn't put too big a bet on them meeting as one of them could get knocked out earlier ... This is especially true if, as I remember, the TvT matchup is pretty fragile and prone to upsets.
There will be a few big name casualties as early as round 1 (even discounting surprise ones) like TLO or SangHo. Hoping to see Idra and Fruitdealer blast through some opponents.

Woah, I didn't know SangHo was even playing in GSL2. Looks like TLO has some tough competition.
How does the group stage work? Is it like GSL1 where its straight up Bo3 single elimination, or are there are like 2 or 4 people advancing from each group based on wins?

Well hypothetically if the brackets were rigged (I don't believe they were, personally) then it makes a lot of sense actually; GOM knows they're not good enough to both get to the finals so they throw them both on opposite sides of the easiest bracket, therefore giving them both the best chance to play each other and give one of them a really good chance to get to the semis.

Cool might have to go through TLO and Ensnare to win the group - tough job!

TLO eliminates in ro64... TvP is so hard for him..
|
Damn, so much for Boxer vs NaDa finals, they're in the same bracket.
Oh well, this is going to be soooo much better than GSL, in play and quality! I can't wait!

I'm sure the brackets are random from the perspective of individual matchups. GSL probably did some filtering though which I don't mind to evenly distribute the races among the brackets. In the end as long as they didn't favor keeping X player away from Y player specifically, it really doesn't affect anything.

WOW TLO's first game against Sangho? THAT WILL BE TOUGH!! I think also since fruitdealer is in his group TLO will have a really hard time advancing (assuming his TvP doesn't hold against a pro gamer).
Group B is STACK yeah, I agree --> HopeTorture, NexGenius, Clide, Inca, CheckPrime, oGsHyperdub daaaaaaaamn
Group C: Nada + Boxer ^^<3 gogogo
Group D: Looks like idra may have the easiest pool, we'll see how he fairs this event!

Zerg seems to have an easy time in Ro64, although Ro32 is probably a different story.
This is gonna be very entertaining, unlike last time I can see top matches left and right starting in Ro64.
SangHo vs TLO, don't know who to root for .
My special tournament prediction: If FlintZenith manages to upset Rainbow he will take the whole tournament.

Wow, I am so sad that Manofoneway and Nada are in the same bracket.....Bo5/Bo7 epic match dream has crumbled....
|
As much as I hate to root against TLO...that interview with Sangho already decided it for me. My head tells me I should root for TLO, but my heart makes me go with Sangho.

Am I the only one who gets a really strong feeling that boxer/idra/tlo are going to lose? =/

Hey guys I'm trying to sign in using my SNS account Facebook (it's what I used last season as well) but when I click on the Facebook button, it doesn't do anything at all while in Google Chrome. If I try it on Safari, however, it opens just fine! Any idea why it wouldn't work with Google Chrome on a Mac? (p.s. The Twitter button works just fine, it's only Facebook that doesn't work).

Yes, it just magically happened that the two players with the most fans and potential to draw viewership for the GSL2 are in the easiest bracket. The people at GOM knew what they were doing. They know Boxer and NaDa will draw far more viewers than anyone besides maybe fruitdealer, and so they put them together in the easiest bracket. It's business. They're trying to grow their brand and their tournament.

Ouch, TLO draws Sangho first round. Hope he puts his game face on because word on the street is that they man who loves Brittany Spears and TL is the best toss in the tournament, maybe the world.
IdrA also has a hard-ass group. I can't imagine a guy named chilencombo would be that good, but i'm expecting zenio, mvp, and gon to all make it to the round of 32. No reason why IdrA can't beat any of those guys, but it won't be easy.
|
Niiiiiice brackets... some thoughts.
TVL vs SangHO - without a doubt the most interesting R64 match for me.
Group B looks like a nightmare to get out of, sooo many great players.
Group C looks the opposite, I think seeded to help Boxer and Nada along.
I have already started sketching on how I think Top-8 will look, doubt TLO will get there but Idra has a decent chance in that group, MVP will be a big hurdle tho.

TLO will draw the largest viewership from the foreign community (the people who actually have to pay to watch) as well as a very larger audience in Korea, and he has one of the toughest players in the tournament first round.
Not saying he draws a larger audience than Fruitdealer, Nada, or Boxer, but I have a hard time believing that they are fixing brakets when the two foreigners both have difficult groups. Furthermore, most of those players are unknown, which means that there is just as much chance that they are very good as very bad, we simply don't know until the tournament starts.

Really hope Sangho isn't good enough to touch TLO!
|
People keep saying bracket B is stacked which it is, but 4 of the best players are facing each other first round while HongUn, Ensnare, and Cool are all separate in bracket A, they're probably gonna clear that group easily then rematch of HongUn vs Ensnare then Cool vs one of them. That's the scary bracket. I mean Ensnare only lost to Rainbow in the semis and HongUn lost to Ensnare in quarters in S1. Also if anyone saw oGs vs Prime, Ensnare is fucken scary - I think he can stop Cool from getting out of that bracket.
With that said bracket B will probably have a lot of sick games. Check will have to get through Rainbow or Flint probably after having to face sanzenith or a hyperdub with more experience than first season while Clide vs Tankboy then winner of that will most likely face Inca - should be some amazing games.
Can't wait to see real boxer and nada though, so nostalgic seeing them in tournaments together.

This just makes no sense...we foreigners pay a one time fee to watch the games. Any rational person that is planning on paying for this tournament will do so at the start so that we get to watch the most games in hq, etc. Once we have paid the results afterward do not matter one bit to how much money gom tv makes on us. They wouldn't care about where they put TLO or other popular foreigners, as once they have our money...they have it.
Boxer and nada, on the other hand, the longer they are in this tournament the more coverage it will get across Korea so it is in their best interest to keep those two in the tournament for as long as possible.

I think GOM views foreigners as basically just a periphery bonus market. They care about the Korean market above anything else. That's why they've made the brackets to favor the popular ex-BW pros, because the Korean market is by far the most important. No matter what, their most lucrative and important market is the Korean market, which will tune in to watch their favorites like Boxer and NaDa. I don't think IdrA and TLO's brackets being difficult is a good argument that they're not adjusting the brackets. Think about the Olympics. Who do most people root for in the Olympics? The players from their own country. That's why the Korean ex-BW pros like Boxer and NaDa have had their brackets made incredibly easy, because they will attract Korean fans and viewership. Take a look at bracket C and tell me it wasn't designed to make sure at least one of Boxer and NaDa advances far in the tournament.

Just because Sangho is an ex-BW programmer , people are getting way too hyped up.
Remember , july zerg couldn"t even qualify for the tourney ,what"s to say Sangho is as good with SC2 as he is with BW.
Just wait and watch the tourney please.

And yet people fail to realize that the GSL1 finalists were also ex-BW progamers. Yet Boxer/Nada were even more successfull (what an understatement) than them. So ofcourse it makes the fans think they could reach the finals. Especially if you're nicknamed the Genius Terran and the Emperor >.>

Hmm, lots of people here seem to hold Sangho in high regard. I understand he's an accomplished BW player, but do we actually have anything notable of him playing SC2 aside from qualifying? Or is this just another case of expecting SC1 ability to transfer over to SC2? If that's the case I don't think TLO should worry, he's already proven he could beat both BoxeR and Nada rather convincingly.

Not even close to random brackets. They have obviously handpicked them. The most interesting players for Koreans and foreigners are evenly spread out.

Bracket B is stacked to the max...holy crap
IntoTheRainboW, InCa, NEXGenius, Clide, and CheckPrime

Bracket A
FruitDealer > oGsEnsnare (I'm rooting for HongUnPrime to pull an upset though)
Bracket B
IntoTheRainboW < InCa (InCa is all I have left with sSKS gone lmao...Clide will probably be his hardest opponent and if he can beat him, he can beat ITR in my opinion...I see Clide as a better Terran player than ITR)
Bracket C
BoxeR > NaDa (I wouldn't be surprised if Lyn takes it; honestly NaDa hasn't really impressed me from what I've seen from him and BoxeR is getting better everyday but still has a lot to improve on)
Bracket D
EGIdrA > MakaPrime (If Maka plays stupid like he did in the first GSL, Iron will take his spot but he too will lose to IdrA. IdrA is the 2nd best SC2 gamer in my opinion; though he plays very consistently in his playstyle, he forces it upon his opponents to play it too. I see very weak spots in his game like FruitDealer)

What a douchebag to call himself boxer when the real boxer is already in the tournament.

I think all in all, a pretty brilliantly seeded bracket.
Fruitdealer with a good road to the quarters.
Idra with a steady diet of T for an excellent chance to make it to the ro8 also to face JangMinChul.
Both foreigners are separated.
The best chance we will see of Boxer vs. Nada will be in the ro8, any higher and one or both would have been eliminated.
ITR with a relatively easier bracket to place high again.
|
Cant wait for Manofoneway vs Boxer.. XD
|
My predictions:
FruitDealer will win it all again. Other 3 semfinalists will be Terran.
In quarterfinals, there will be 7 terran, with only FruitDealer as non terran.
Bracket A - FruitDealer will beat TLO in round of 16. His match against oGsEnsnare in round of 8 will be very difficult.
Bracket B - Suspect that Clide will take right bracket, and lose to HopeTorture.
Bracket C - Don't think that Boxer or Nada will win, even though the bracket was designed for them.
This bracket is weak, seems like a crapshoot.
Bracket D - idra has it tough. I don't see him getting past r32 vs oGsGon or r16 vs mvp.
Thinking it'll end up as mvp vs Maka.
|
BoxeR smurfing and uisng two accounts
|
TLO vs Sangho: Honestly I don't know why people are worried for TLO at all. We haven't seen Sangho play, but unless he is leaps and bounds above other Korean Protoss he really doesn't stand a chance against TLO, given the win % stats in the previous GSL for TvP. I actually hope Sangho wins, but more likely than not it will be a 2-0 blowout in favor of TLO.
TLO vs Fruitdealer: A lot of disagreement over this one it seems. Fruitdealer has a very strong ZvT, but TLO's harassment style seems highly effective against Fruitdealer's rather lackluster early game. Could go either way but this is in TLO's favor for sure.
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.
|
oGsGon is very good and would be a tough opponent for IdrA.

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.

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?

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

The brackets look pretty rigged heh. I'm not sure if I like that, regardless of how good it is for the tournament. Seems like it lowers the legitimacy of a tournament for me when this happens.
..Didn't follow much BW cept for a few specific players though, so this might be more normal than i think.

Both nada and boxer in mirror matches first round against good opponents:[ Hope we can get to see them play anything else then lame mirrors in GSL.
Nada can train with TLO etc for his mirror. Hope boxer gets some good training done aswell:p

tlo will train with inca (+ other tosses) since both need to prepare for the same match up

left side of the bracket lol. There are 4 brackets, each with left and right, one person will advance out of each to the ro4. So it dont all the good players are on the left side, they still might not meet each other. Read first, post later.

MVP = Only current BW pro who was a starter for his team (Woongjin) to switch thus far.
Zenio made Round of 32 last season. Not sure on the hype for Gon (didn't see his qualifier group though)

I totally fell in love with that song, and their other one "The War is Over". Go buy the album - Treat: Coup De Grace. It's brilliant! =)
(Does it look to anyone else like TLO and IdrA have been seeded to make the top 16 to keep the foreign influence watching?)
|
A
Dario has crazy good tvz, would be epic to the max if he could knock out cool, but I feel like his nerves might get the best of him if they clash in the ro16, anyways one of those two should definitely win the left side.
Right side is a little tougher to predict, Ensnare is the favorite but Choya is supposedly very good, might be a dark horse to take this side, or even Hongun if Choya manages to beat Ensnare
B
Rainbow always plays the same builds, someone like hyperdub can beat him if he can adjust to ITR's builds and counter them effectively. ITR is still the favorite on the left side though.
Right side is the toughest of all to win, Clide is sick, but so is NexGenius, I think one of them is going to advance to ro8
C
I think Loner has a real shot here, if he can keep his cool. The "boxer" factor might be enough to cause some people to play worse just because they face HIM, so I predict Boxer or Loner, don't know anything about Gas, but if he was in TSL, he's probably good so he might win as well.
Right side I only know Nada and LegalMind, predict Nada to win because he's so used to this situation.
D
Idra might only face terrans, so he has a shot, however I think MVP will beat him and win this side
Right side should be quite an easy road for Maka
|
It seems they minimized mirror matches. The logic here being: start with the least represented race (Z), assign half of them ZvT and half ZvP. After rounding, it comes out to 8 ZvT and 7 ZvP. Then get remaining toss players into TvPs (12 of those), but they left 1 toss mirror in for some reason. Of course they can still randomize the placing of the players into the matchups and the position of the matches in the bracket, so it isn't bad rigging at all.
|
|
|
These brackets make me SO EXCITED. It's ridiculous. If I had been into BW when it was big I imagine my head would be exploding right now. I want MC/IrOn to get farther this time, go on my son!
|
wow, seems like GOMTV is really getting their act together - after the VERY short opening day of GSL 1 with ceremonies lasting approximately double the time of all of the matches they start of with basicly 50% of the very top
cool (best zerg), inca/genius (two best protoss), maka/boxer (among the best terran) - don't get confused though, this rain is not ITR, just a presumbaly cannon-fodder zerg for nexgenius who really shouldn't lose a PvZ unless it's cool or check
|
I think HongunPrime is gonna do well. Watched him rape a zerg today without losing a fuckin stalker in the team invitational!

Damn...FruitDealer and Boxer matches on the first day. Ridiculous. Gonna buy me a massive bucket of popcorn and work from home that day

i'm really excited to see tlo play. he doesn't have an easy bracket though.
as a matter of fact all the brackets are rough. tons of big names everywhere.

obviously the brackets are not random lol - would be stupid anyways, could end up in something like idra vs cool in ro32.....what good would that do
I think the ppl have done an awsome job, really only exception being inca and nexgenius on the same side in bracket B - this is just stupid; but that aside, nearly none of the favourites playing against each other before ro16 if I'm not mistaken

Heh, did not even realise it was a RickRoll if you clicked directly, i always use the option to open in new tab.
Anyways, I would assume GOM did some kind of seeding here and not left it totally up to chance, avoiding things like R64 Fruitdealer vs HopeTorture.
But if they did do some kind of random drawing I would soooo want to watch it live (or VOD for that matter), I love to watch things like soccer world cup drawings. The suspence and reactions to the draw is so fun to watch.

I am guessing the PvP is because of other constraints such as not having the past Ro4 or the big SC1 names facing off in Ro 64 (and if at all possible not until Ro16 or Ro8).
Hopefully everyone brushed up on their vT and we get good race balance in the Ro32.

I just noticed they changed the time schedule for season 2.
GSL 1 aired at 9am GMT everyday, but first day of GSL2 will start at 10am, and then for the following days of the RO64 gomtv schedule says matchs will start at 4am GMT...
That's up until the RO32, when it goes back to 10am.
Doesn't make much sense but i guess it's true since it comes from the GomTV website.

What has you worried that these sponsors will leave? They've been sponsors for numerous GOMTV events in the past, and I don't think its going to change with this new massive surge in viewers

I have a feeling many of these times are just place holders until they actually fill the schedule with information. While the first day is an hour later, I dont think the other ones will be as early as it says.

I can't see a big esports event like this being on Korean TV at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. It would kill both Korean and international viewer numbers.

According to the brackets on liquidpedia, theres no PvP or ZvZ? Concidence? And they didnt seed players from previous gsl because in that case ensnare wouldnt have gotten in the same bracket as fruitdealer..

It appears that its only for the round of 64 (except opening night).

Damnit why doesn't this start for 3 days I am so psyched to see it!!! The opening match is FruitDealer ZvT *drool*
...I am seriously considering buying a pass to this
|
Damnit I'll miss almost all the matches i want to see. So many of the interesting matchups will be on a 2pm here.......
|
Wow, I eat my words. the games will start at 1300KST on the 2nd day forward, with 9 matches a day! that is a metric ton of starcraft. That is going to be a long, long day.
Check it out

Makes me wonder how Tastosis will look like after casting the entire Ro64 within 4 days.
I aint a big fan of such a packed schedule, It will take ages to catch up to the games only to accidently read spoilers somewhere.

Just do it. Plenty of content for a relative low cost, and quite nice price for your second subscription. I hope they will continue to reward their returning customers .

They also recently upgraded the HQ stream to 720p. Rewatching some of the vods in 720p made me nerdgasm. I was reluctant to renew for HQ until they did this.

Am i the only one wondering about the lack of sponsors mentioned on the gomtv.net season 2 tournament page? For season 1 they had TG / INTEL plastered everywhere from the name, the logo to the information text. season 2.... nothing.
Have the sponsors dropped out or what is this? Have we actually gotten any word on what the prize-pool is going to be for season 2?

Pretty good maps for FruitDealer (with Blistering Sands arguably neutral and Scrap Station and Shakuras good for Zerg).

Seems this one is dubbed "Sony Ericson GSL season 2"

I'd really like to see phoenix win at least one round, I've spent much time enjoying his stream.
Does look like it should be top viewing overall after the slow start to gsl1. Would be nice to see at least one ZvZ for a change this time ^^

Broadcast of daytime and evening matches of Ro64.
As you can see in our schedule there will be 9 Ro64 matches per day except for the opening day, which has five matches and starts at 7pm KST on Oct. 18th.
Every day for Ro64, 4 of the 9 matches will start at 1pm KST(GMT+9) and the other 5 matches will start at 7pm. After the 4 games in the daytime finishes the Live Stream will be cut off momentarily until the evening games at 7pm KST. The actual time and length of the Live Stream being cut off will depend on when the daytime game ends.
Please note that you will not be able to continue viewing the Live Stream throughout the whole 9 games. When the daytime(1pm KST) matches end the Live Stream will be cut off and the next Live Stream will start at 7pm KST. We hope that nobody has any inconvenience watching the Live Stream of Ro64.
Thank you.

Wow, 9 matches per day.

Is the opening match this weekend? Or does everything begin this coming monday without a big opening match?
|
LOL I just realized IdrAs opponent, Joo, Hyun-Soo, is now officially dubbed "ChickenCombo" on gomtv.net - how can this NOT be awsome
|
I've been getting alerts from AntiVir regarding GomTVStreamerLive.exe : contains Adware.Gen.
Anyone else got this?

Probably because it requests permission to install the "ask" toolbar
ie. just deny it

Makes sense, they'll power through the RO64 in 4 days rather than 8, in season one it went on far too long considering the quality of the matches. Love that they're trying to get to the better matches ASAP.

Someone double check my info?
The opening of Ro64 starts:
07:00:00 p.m. Monday October 18, 2010 in Asia/Seoul converts to
06:00:00 a.m. Monday October 18, 2010 in US/Eastern
1: This is correct?
2: There will be FREE live broadcast on gomtv.net for this right?
3: And VODS are ONLY available for season ticket holders?

4: What the heck does that mean? Games are ran simultaneously for Ro64? Then some of them won't be commented by Korean casters & Tastosis?
Just want to make sure waking up for this is worth it.

I'm confused about "fake" Boxer's ladder account.
I thought he's the 2200points Boxer from the korean ladder, but on OP I see him as EllenPage which is a 1050 points terran on the ladder.
So which one is him?
