+ Show Spoiler + Thorzain/Select - 1 unit Thorzain, 1.621 - I don't see Thorzain (top, top tier foreigner) losing to Select (top tier foreigner) Select/Hero - 1 unit Hero, 1.725 - Hero's really good, he has great all-in builds and his micro style might be a bit too difficult for Select. We'll see, but it's Korean v foreigner. Thorzain/Sleep - 1 unit Thorzain, 1.941 - I don't really know how Sleep plays so this bet might be risky. TLPD shows Sleep losing to Moonan 0-2 though, which is pretty bad and Thorzain's TvZ is waay stronger than Moonan. Select/Sleep - didn't touch, Thorzain's strong enough to kill Sleep but idk about Select. Thorzain/Hero - 4 units Thorzain, 1.893 - Thorzain has a record against Hero. I'm confident that Thorzain will win. Also, I am gambling here, like a fool. Hero/Sleep 1 unit Hero, 1.794 - I dunno I think Hero is a on a higher level than Sleep and his style is pretty good with warp prisms and stuff White-Ra/Idra - 1 unit Idra -1.5, 2.340 - White-Ra's good but Idra's better. Way better. I like these odds. Idra/thestc - 1 unit thestc, 1.847 - do I think thestc has a strong chance against Idra? Yes, thestc will most likely smash through Idra, these odds are pretty good. White-Ra/MMA - 1 unit MMA -1.5, 1.699 - MMA might not have good TvP but that's because Korean P are ridiculously all-in heavy. I think MMA's play completely counters White-Ra's play, but White-Ra is really good at stopping drops though. Might be a little luck based at first but I'm confident both players will ultimately go for long macro games, which is where Koreans > foreigners the most. thestc/MMA - 1 unit MMA, 1.469 - guy is just better White-Ra/thestc - 1 unit thestc -1.5, 1.990 - I love White-Ra, I really do, but he's a little overrated because of his popularity. I think thestc will crush him, but I'm not exactly sure how good of a shape thestc is in these days. Korean vs foreigner man. Idra/MMA - 1 unit MMA -1.5, 1.909 - Idra may have beaten Puma but that's because Puma's TvZ style is very much within Idra's comfort zone. Slayers (and MMA especially) play a particularly drop-heavy, multitasking intensive, aggressive style that Idra seems to crumble under. I think MMA will sweep the floor. I'm not going to be able to make a large chunk of the start, so I'm relying on you LRers! Descriptive LRs please ^^ | ||

Thorzain should beat the crap out of his group quite savagely. Second will probably be select, he beat Alicia in the gsl so I'd imagine he could certainly take hero. Dunno a whole lot about sleep, but he doesn't seem that great. Group D is a bit more difficult. MMA should come out on top on paper. If Idra continues his momentum out of IEM he could surprise. Whitera counters idra due to being protoss. theSTC is kind of a wildcard. You don't see him too often, generally looks decent-good. Gonna go with MMA then idra though. | ||

Especialy in group D, the foreigners cannot stand with these 2 top korean Terrans I think group C is not easy to predict. Is it the most evenly matched group out of all. Pinnacle agrees there. The best odds you can get betting on someone is 2.370 (+137) on Select vs Thorzain. That would be a good bet if Select wins >42%. All other odds are worse. In group D TheSTC is the big Dark Horse. I can see Idra winning against him. MMA should take this though. | ||

I wonder what kind of work allows you to watch a stream, and meanwhile type like a madman about that stream. I got it pretty chill, but watching streams is a big no-no. Very maybe I will do some LRing, when I am home around 18:00 CEST, for the second match and onward. Depends on who is running around on Stream 5. That Lani from IGN is just too funny to miss. Maybe I should LR that. | ||

Even when white ra is playing well he always messes up vs Idra. Idra vs TheSTC is a match im looking forward too, STC is very very good on his day but depends which STC turns up sometimes he doesnt look so good. Idra vs MMA, well thats probably going to be a nice finish to the day! MMA will bring the SlayerS cheese me thinks but could be interesting. SeleCT and Thorzain major favorites for there group i think. I dont know much about Sleep i remember him being on IM rather than SlayerS though xD Hero could throw some weird results in there but both Thorzain and SeleCT are T v P specialists so i cant see Hero having much luck. Should be interesting day though none the less. | ||

Live streams can help to stay awake and be ready for emergency situations | ||
