Don't really like these groups

Looks like 1 person that will destroy each group... IE: MKP vs a bunch of randoms.

Stephano's and Nerchio's groups are really stacked and pretty close (Grubby and Nightend could both been seeded as 1 for exemple). I guess these are the "death groups" but we can't blame eswc since it's really hard to draw...

Yes, last year we even showed a bank guarantee to assure you the price money. We paid out a few weeks after the event.

I totally agree with ur list out of the groups. Idra is going to have a lot of ZvZ. He can easily make a mistake and loose one of those series.


His ZvZ is fairly good. I think (and this is speculative) that lately he has realized that he can play slightly safer in the early game against most opponents (read: not Koreans) and even if he is behind as a result, make up for it with mechanics. This should allow him to beat most of the Zs in his group. I don't know about Nerchio, haven't really seen him play so I just went with a bit of fanboyism there. I do remember that Idra lost to him in IPL2 (iirc) so we'll see.


I can't disagree more, Nerchio has a beasty ZvZ (just behind Stephano in eu), he can roflstomp idra who isn't as strong in ZvZ as his other MU.

And you have a really good way to know the "strongness" of a top Zerg in ZvZ : look the ratio : )

-cause you must know why Terran have in general a better ratio than the other races, the TvT isn't a "coin flip", the best player wins most of the time. As a result, win can see the strongest Terrans near 80% most of the time

- on the other hand zergs and protossi got a coin-flip mirror MU, so even if a player is far better than his opponent he may loose (fe vs 7pool = loose), this results as a ratio slighty better than 70% for the best.

-you can find a good toss or zerg in mirror when he has a really good ratio, this means he doesn't loose that much in mirro MU. For exemple ToD has a good PvP and one of the best P ratio in europe. Lalush and Nerchio are known for there ZvZ so they are over 75%. But Darkforce who is as good as Lalush in ZvT (if not better) is not that concistent in ZvZ.


All this shit to say that Nerchio got a reall strong ZvZ and can beat Idra (i didn't find idra's ratio but i think it's behind the Nerchio's 79 :S). Moreover i think he alredy 3-0 him in IPL2... so let's see. I'd give 60-40 in Nerchio's favor.

You have the possibility to make the ESWC one of the best events in the world (as it was in the beginning) don't miss it because I fear it might be your last chance.

Will be attending this live.

The schedule is ridiculously not detailed. At what time are the matches happening? If I go sunday at 10AM and it doesn't start until 2PM, I'll be MIGHTY pissed.


The stage schedule can be found on our website but we also have MINI-stages. On these mini stages there is non-stop sc2 activity.


Thanks, makes it all better then

Do you know if a ticket purchased can let you go out and come back in the same day? I'd love to see the semis sunday morning then the finals sunday afternoon, but take a lunch break out inbetween. I know that Japan Expo which happens in the same place doesn't let us go out then back in.
