Don't really like these groups

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

Predicting Thorzain vs Spoon to be the longest match in SC2 history.

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.
