Surprised how many people are counting out Strelok after his complete dismantling of KiwiKaki in IPL2. Strelok always comes into matches vs. well-known players extremely prepared, usually creating special builds to use only once on a certain map vs. a certain player. I could easily see him taking it vs. Nani.

With some early pressure, his TvZ isn't bad, but if it goes to mid-late game ret will take it. I like Tarson, but Rets macro is ungodly, sometimes to a fault lol

There is a major problem tho, you never know with Tarson.

His play was bad during some games at homestory but he managed to win anyway. That makes it kind of hard to get a feel for his form.



Edit: I hope for Ret to win, but wouldn't bet on it.
I am not young enough to know everything.

He's an underrated player by many. In my uneducated opinion () Probably the most solid allround terran in Europe, along with Thorzain. He doesn't have a really weak matchup like quite a few of them. I'd probably give a slight edge to NaNi, but it could go either way.

I really feel bad for all the top 8 ladder players who were not invited. Blizzards kicks itself really in the ass becuz the blizz ladder doesn't really mather even for their own tournaments. it's a shame imo.

They could have anounced this earlier that the top 8 would be invited and lots of players would have fought their asses off to compete in this tour and some of them really don't deserve it in terms of their ladder afford (thorzain, ret). Just not fair.

i don't wanna blame this tour becuz i'm looking forward to good games but the randomness of invites sux as hell.

The invites for this tournament are sick. This tournament is so incredibly stacked. It's impossible to predict who has the best chance of taking first place. I'm rooting Naniwa puts up a good showing.

And about Naninwa vs Strelok.

Strelok can play amazingly well sometimes. It will not be easy for Naninwa.

Ret played AMAZING at the last MLG.
He could go toe-to-toe with the Korean Terrans, even though they just presented their new
TvZ style.
