Same drill as usual: - No caster bashing.
- Excessive tournament bashing that detracts from game discussion will be met with moderator action. Criticism is welcome, whining is not.
- In general do your best to stay on topic and discuss what we're all here for: the games.
Enjoy the games guys. |
I like using gigantic ones a little better: Linky A lot of the ones on that page are squished and frankly, look terrible,

I can't wait. I have waited a whole season for this...
Really disappointed by Sen's performance at Dreamhack. Hopefully he will have a much better showing at NASL. The bracket is certainly set up favorably for him
|
If it comes down to a Sen/HerO finals, I'm going to divide by 0 and split the universe into two parallel universes. In one, HerO wins, in the other, Sen wins. I will get to experience both, and I will be content.

Sen is over due for winning a Major.

Anyway...
HerO 3 - 1 HwangSin (HwangSin will eventually get a win with his all-ins but HerO is the better player) HuK 3 - 2 HasuObs (Could go either way with HuK and his travelling issues...) DIMAGA 3 -2 BratOK (Both players know eachother's styles very well - But I feel that DIMAGA is the superior player here, which will show in this Bo5) SEn 3 - 0 TT1 (Sorry Payam, but you're going to get rolled by SEn. His ZvP is just too good, even if first map is Crevasse) MorroW 3 - 1 MaNa (MorroW is truly a ZvP gosu and PvZ is imo MaNa's worst matchup. He will take a game and all games will be close, but MorroW will come out on top.) ThorZaIN 3 -2 DeMusliM (This one could really go either way - ThorZaIN has cute TvT but both he and DeMusliM have been off the radar lately. I do think that ThorZaIN's style is too safe to secure him an easy victory, it will not be easy) Strelok 3 - 0 IdrA (IdrA going to disappoint as usual. One should be used to it by now. Inb4 he wins and I end up looking like a tool. Not to mention Strelok is pretty damn good when he plays is A-game.) Sheth 3 - 0 PuMa (a man can dream...)

11 casters for 15 series? Overkill?

Also, GunRun is probably already there doing TwitchTV stuff anyway.
Really excited Orb is casting though!!

Mr. Bitter & RotterdaM casting :D :D Goooooooo HerO, DeMusliM & Sheth!!!
|
The teamlogo's are pretty cool. Should become standard. Excited for this tournament, think I will tune in.
|
Brackets are stacked and seem reasonably even, so I'll keep my predictions simply to this:
a) Either one of Hero or Huk will be 'upset' in the first round, preventing a Hero vs Huk rematch.
b) No foreigner terran will make the Ro4

DeMuslim vs Thorzain... I don't even know how to make that choice, two of my absolute favourite players. Quick question: Why did the NASL not end up using at least one community map? That would have been really cool, but it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity. EDIT: I know who the guy above me is a fan of

I think it all depends on MorroW vs MaNa. If MaNa beats MorroW, no foreign Terran makes Ro4. If MorroW beats MaNa the winner of ThorZain vs DeMusliM makes Ro4.
IdrA vs PuMa (if it happens) is a toss-up.
I want PuMa to beat everyone. HerO vs PuMa finals rematch would make me so happy.

Actually I think both ThorZaiN & DeMusliM I think are way stronger then MaNa & Morrow, If DeMusliM is in shape he will beat ThorZaiN can't really judge how much practise demuslim had the last couple of weeks. Else ThorZaiN will logically be the winner.

Puma will take his 2nd, ez !

You think MaNa will have better chance than a player who plays top level ZvT AND TvZ? o_o PvT isn't -that- imbalanced.
