No player/caster bashing, or balance whining. Bans will be handed out like candy. (page 217)

No sexist jokes or anything of that nature either. Be mature people.

Machine has the biggest chance out of the 3. But that's still like a 3% chance.

Gatored making big plays second MLG in a row, knocking Ganzi down is no small feat.

I can see gatored beating leenock. Not a good chance, but it is still possible. He comes up with strange builds in PvZ that can catch his opponents off guard (like he did to DRG). But yea, most likely leenock will take it.


gatored is an odd player, hes really good but for some reason he can go into a tournament and beat a player like drg but then lose to someone like strifecro(no offense to strife but drg is really good: D)

That's what happens when you flip coins. No offense to Gatored but his games against DRG were definitely well-executed all-ins (and that's not a reliable way to play).


I watched those games and they weren't all ins. WTF are you talking about? He went up to like 4 base on shattered.

So my predictions are:
1st section: Leenock (56th Seed)
2nd section: NesTea (53rd Seed)
3rd section: MVP (3rd Seed)
4th section: HerO (7th Seed)

Possible upsets:
Gatored (40th seed) > Leenock
Sheth (2nd Seed) > HerO
sC (54th seed) > MVP

Odds are MVP is going into IdrA's section.

Some nice round 6 matches:
Hero vs KeeN (PvT)
sC vs LosirA (TvZ Code S style...SICK!!)
MajOr vs Sheth (Good TvZ)
Leenock vs Gatored (ZvP, can gatored make it 2 code s koreans in a row??)

Then we have..
nestea vs poor soul
MVP vs even poorer soul
TLO vs Spanishwa should be an ok match and I expect spanishwa to take it

and then..
State vs HeavOnEarth which I'm looking at eliminations on players like GanZi, Oz, Puzzle, MKP and going "Wat?"

So I'm looking through the open bracket... and man, GATORED.

2-0's Ganzi, like a BOSS. The dude really surprised me when he beat TOP at IEM, and now he takes down Ganzi? The dude's got some crazy potential. If he can beat Leenock tomorrow I will be totally blown away.
For Aiur???

Really good. IdrA appeared to actually outplay Nestea (Really good harrassment), but he overcommitted a few times and Nestea did some strong timings to defeat him.


"outplaying" is a pretty bad term. The player who played better wins, that's why they win. If you make fewer minor mistakes but make a fatal mistake, you played worse, not better.


Hell yea baby! Nestea = Tebow

I think he was referring to his PvZ. His PvT seems godlike.

Machine. He has the mechanics to keep up with Nestea in macro.

I don't think machine's mechanics are anywhere near as good as nestea's.

agreed, I would say Idra was dictating the pace of the games and using that to gain an advantage, but both times he made small mistakes and opened up a window for nestea which he took to win.

I said "possible" not "probable"

But seriously, Leenock has never been spectacular in ZvP. And Gatored can pull off some weird ass builds.

You don't think that because they aren't. No offense to machine but saying his mechanics are near NesTea's is laughable

Idra wouldn't have MVP (at least according to liquipedia).

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Pro_Circuit/Providence

According to that Idra's bracket gets the winner of Open Bracket 1 (most likely Leenock). Naniwa would get the winner of Open bracket 3 (most likely MVP). That would set up an interesting rematch after Naniwa beat MVP earlier. Ofc Boxer/Select/SLush are no pushovers especially if MVP gets tired.

I could see that happening, Leenock did lose to Inca at one point.

Some ppl don't realize that Protoss can't take 3 bases at 8 mins mark or mass expanding. Their definition of all-in is just totally different I guess.
