I don't think anyone legitimately pretends that Protoss is mechanically demanding, but watching top level protoss (mainly MC comes to mind) use clutch Sentry forcefields and Phoenix harass is pretty impressive (NASL Grand Final vs Puma = wow). If the Protoss player screws up their forcefields it will easily lose them the game on the spot or put them behind in the engagement. But conversely, good forcefields will make engagements that look like the Protoss player should lose come out even, or even on top.

Overall the deathball style just doesn't require as much micro. Zealots in front, 1 a+click, forcefields to split the army as much as possible, move the injured colossus back from vikings/press T and storm the trapped army (depending on if you're using colo. deathball or templar).

I always find this part interesting.

Pool A:

- Worst case, DRG goes 8:3 overall, meaning he is guaranteed 2nd seed at this point. If he wins his next set he will be 1st seed.
- HuK can get 1st seed if he wins his next set 2:0 and DRG loses his next set 0:2. If HuK loses one game, he is stuck in 2nd seed, no matter what.
- Tyler needs to win all his games 2:0 to get 3rd seed, tying him with NaNiwa. He needs to win at least 4 games to guarantee 4th seed.

Pool B:

- The Emperor sits fancily in 1st seed no problem.
- Sjow and Idra fighting for 2nd seed against Cruncher now. Cruncher needs to win all of his sets to get 2nd seed. Only needs to win 5 games to guarantee 3rd seed. Only needs to win 3 to get 4th seed (over Sheth).
- If Idra beats Cruncher, he is guaranteed 2nd seed.
- If Sjow beats Cruncher, he is guaranteed 3rd seed. Idra's results against Cruncher are what decide his placement after that.

Pool C:

- Slush is getting 4th if any of the other top players in this pool win any of their upcoming sets.
- Ret and MMA is interesting, whoever wins their game probably gets 1st seed.
- Rain has 3 sets to go with no losses, so he has a good chance at 2nd seed as well.
(This is the most interesting pool right now since 1st, 2nd and 3rd seed are still very much up for grabs between Ret, MMA, and Rain. I predict Ret takes 1st seed, MMA 2nd and Rain 3rd)

Pool D:

- MVP is guaranteed 2nd seed, minimum. He still has one more set against Ganzi, making his potential win:loss ratio 11:1, 11:2, 9:3, or 10:3.
- Ganzi is at 4:1 currently with 3 sets left, making him eligible for an additional 6:0. Ganzi has to win all of his sets from this point on to gain 1st seed.
- KiwiKaki only needs to win one more game (not set) to guarantee 3rd seed, minimum.
- Moonan will only get 3rd seed if he wins his next set [i]and[i] if KiwiKaki loses 0:2 in his next set.

Pretty sure I did this right but any corrections are accepted and appreciated.
