(A) Banbanssu vs GanZi (C) Yoda vs TheBest (D) Luvsic vs Jjakji (B) sC vs Extreme (B) Tails vs Taeja (B) DongRaeGu vs InCa (B) anypro vs JYP August 9th (C) Tassadar vs Fenix (D) MarineKing vs Hack (C) BoxeR vs Leenock (C) Dream vs Maka (D) Jinro vs Lucky (D)YuGiOh vs ThorZaIN (A)SaSe vs Sniper (A)Check vs NaNiwa Most of the foreigners have compatible opponents so they should be able to win it. -DRG will absolutely roll inca into code B. -Cant wait for Boxer to dominate leenock but its a tricky one. My confidence vote is with boxer but leenock is a boss and can kick the emperor out -jinro is an oddball. I wont be surprized if he loses but i hope he doesnt cos that wud almost certainly demotivate him and send him back to sweden -MKP gonna have a run for his money with hack. sucks to see 2 good players face of in R1. | ||

Also Nani, hoping him to do well, and honestly i hope so much he stays in korea like Huk/Jinro. Gsl needs a fresh Protoss, Nani is that person he's got skill dedication and the drive now i hope he get's the opertunity aswell. | ||

From now on I don't think any team is going to take them lightly (except maybe StarTale because their Coach seems to be arrogant as hell and thinks Bomber can pull his ass out of the fire whenever he needs him). The thing is, it's not like they've gone on this run with tight wins or some luck, their players have consistently played extremely solid games with little to no mistakes. I think you might be right say they're a little overrated, but that doesn't erase what they've done or how they've gone about achieving their wins. If StarTale's coach is arrogant, I can't help but wonder what you think of IM's coach after that fiasco that was IM vs. FXO.  | ||

I loved it when Rain dropped out from Code S and people immediately said that DRG should automatically get his spot. Anyway, I don't know why people hate cheese so much. It's a high risk, high reward tactic and the player who committing to the cheese knows that. It's as much the "fault" of the player who doesn't pick up on the cheese and defend it properly. | ||

He's going to get rolled, the only reason there should be any doubt in your mind is that Naniwa is going to be jet lagged. Naniwa is nowhere near a best Protoss in the world. Where have you ever got any indication that Nani can compete with Koreans atm (aside from PvP which is an entirely different animal). He got easily 2-0d by Moon at Dreamhack, and Check is much better than Moon. Guess there's nothing much to do but wait for the match but my money is 100% on Check, sry. Give him a couple seasons and Nani will start to be competitive but he's not good enough right now to make a deep run. | ||

That wasn't good for IM, I'll agree with you on that. But then again, IM only had that one instance, I've seen 2-3 TL games where the StarTale coach basically said he doesn't think the opposition is going to challenge his team and he can always use Bomber at the end to win if he really needs him. Plus, he lets July get away with terrible creep spread which I can't imagine many other coaches would allow to continually occur. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + FruitDealer vs Maru (although I still like FruitDealer for his GSL1 run, I just don't think he's good enough to stay in GSL much longer) Banbanssu vs GanZi Yoda vs TheBest Luvsic vs Jjakji sC vs Extreme Tails vs Taeja DongRaeGu vs InCa anypro vs JYP (anypro is overrated in my opinion) Tassadar vs Fenix (haven't seen a whole lot from Fenix lately, but I don't think he can take on Tassadar) MarineKing vs Hack (not sure on this one, but I could see Hack winning this) BoxeR vs Leenock (this will be sad, no matter who wins )Dream vs Maka Jinro vs Lucky YuGiOh vs ThorZaIN SaSe vs Sniper Check vs NaNiwa I'm obviously biased towards foreigners. But I think everyone expect for Fenix at least has a chance to win. | ||

I want to believe that the round of 4 will be Naniwa vs DRG and Thorzain vs Boxer. | ||

While I agree that Naniwa is not the best Protoss in the world, he's not as bad as you think. Naniwa is a level above most foreigners. He consistently places high in foreign tournaments. Of course, this doesn't mean that he'll just win Code A straight away, but he has the potential for some upsets in Code A. | ||

Naniwa mentioned at the HomeStory Cup that he thinks he'll learn a lot in Korea since he doesn't get much of a challenge in Europe anymore. He's got the higher up side by far compared to Check who's sat at a pretty constant level for most of SC2. | ||

Well, to be fair, Bomber is their ace, and he's on a team that is deep but not that deep. After Bomber, you have July (who is easy to snipe), and then you have ... Ace and Squirtle, I guess, but they're not that great, as much as I do like them. I mean, what are you going to say? "Well, if the opponent's doing well, we'll just send out Bomber and hope we don't roll over and die" doesn't sound very confident to me, and I'd be worried if a coach said that before a teamleague match. Not to mention, Choya pretty much thinks the same way. "If we're in any trouble, I'll just send out sC to all-kill the other team." And MVP, the one man team, functions exactly in that manner (and I'm sure the MVP coach thinks like that simply because it works, lol). July's creep spread does make me a sad panda though. | ||

I think Naniwa is the best foreigner right now. He could beat anyone he want tbh, he 2-1 IdrA easily in MLG, place highest as non-korean in that MLG too. | ||

New guys of IM got xp in the booth nothing wrong with it, why is that arrogant it's not like QXC was a code S champion. QXC played like he never did before and i doubt he ever will do so again. It's true IM did not expect that (but who did ?) but i am sure they would not be mad if they lost anyway, they took that opertunity to use the new guys the greens so they develop mentaly. And they did, there is no doubt they will move on to the next round, IM is the best team in the world. | ||
