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). didnt see the games but i heard they were pretty solid wins, and he beat top 3-0 so.. cant be that allinish ^^ I think he was referring to his PvZ. His PvT seems godlike.
His PvT is good, but not godlike. He's got really smart builds but his army control and mechanics are still lacking. He's definitely one of those players tht can cause upsets tho, but his PvP is very average (even i've beaten him PvP...altho he's like a million times better than me)

Odds are MVP is going into IdrA's section. Idra wouldn't have MVP (at least according to liquipedia). http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2011_MLG_Pro_Circuit/ProvidenceAccording 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. No. OWB #1 means the highest seed from the 4 open bracket winners. That is how they have always done MLG. I am 100% sure of this.

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. Nestea won, there is no doubt about that. But the second game was a comeback victory for Nestea when Idra overengaged (He had a 20-30 supply lead and threw it away). The third game IdrA got off some really good baneling hits and the final push by NTea was his only hope.

And Gatored can pull off some weird ass builds. I could see that happening, Leenock did lose to Inca at one point.
But leenock then beat huk twice and has now beaten Oz. I think leenock's zvp has improved way beyond to when he lost to Inca lol.

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. 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. ... the Shakuras game wasn't an all-in? It was mass phoenix into warp prism gateway all-in on 2base lol. And the Dual Sight game was a blink stalker all-in that he transitioned out of eventually (DRG kinda threw that game away IMO) - if you watch newer PvZ's you can see what a toss who wants a macro game can do (not that it always works). I don't remember the Shattered game at all but wasn't that the map he lost anyway?

Ah. If that's the case I'm sure Idra is pulling hard for Sheth to win as he has a higher seed than MVP.

Basically you're just trying to define "outplay" and then disagreeing. It's the most pointless discussion ever .
We all agree, IdrA got ahead in both games with some good multitasking/decision making. He lost because NesTea's decision making was better.

just because he loss 1 match that doesnt mean his zvp is bad rofl, u need to base a players skill off of HUNDREDS of matchs.. not just 1 series

I agree with most of your %s except LosirA's is way too high. Even if he beats sC... he has almost 0% chance against MVP.

TLO, Spanishiwa or Machine? I think TLO has the best possibility due to his unpredictability. 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.
Machine's macro has always been top-tier. His micro was okay, but his decision-making and strategies ranged from okay to disastrous. At the bottom of his slump he would always out-macro his opponents and then lose his entire army in bone-headed engagements, or utterly collapse to early pressure.

The loser's open bracket where there are Puzzle Oz and Tyler is sick ... I don't wanna see one of these players get eliminated now

Nooooooooooo
That sucks... 3 code S players... meanwhile Incontrol's bracket looks pretty easy so far lol, few mediocre non koreans, maybe he'll actually win a few more games.

incontrol should take his loser's bracket.
