Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable.

And as always:
- No player bashing.
- No caster bashing.
- No balance whining.

Enjoy the games.

If it was a ""best of" series then MVP is guaranteed 1st in his group with DRG or MC 2nd.

But since it is a Bo1 (i think), its anyone for the taking.
Placing my hopes on Hero to edge out the others.

My predictions.



Any reason for that?
btw, it is hard to give prediction when it is Bo1 with 5 great players.

Alrighty, here's my line of thinking.


DongRaeGu doesn't have particularly amazing ZvZ or ZvP, contrasted against HerO and Stephano who are really good at that MU. MC should be just good enough to take out DRG. DRG has been slumping ZvT wise, losing games to SuperNoVa, and...IIRC, it was to GuMiho in the group stages last season. Mvp on the other hand, went absolutely toe-to-toe with Leenock and showed absolutely amazing play in that TvZ series.

Stephano can take that game off DongRaeGu, and POTENTIALLY (but I say no) off MC, but I think HerO and Mvp will beat him quite soundly.

HerO could take out Mvp, but MC should beat him PvP, and I still sway towards Mvp in this MU because Mvp has 3-0ed HuK, and taken out many other great Protoss players, who are better at PvT than HerO.

MC has actually looked really good against Terran lately. He took out Bomber, who, although slumping, has some really good TvP, and MC took a bo3 off Mvp at MLG Providence, even though he lost the rematch. Really hard to call, but I reckon MC has got it.

While MVP has had a lot of recent success, people are forgetting he barely made it past group stages for AOL and WCG. Won't be surprised if he doesn't advance at all. Though if that happens this thread will be 60% excuses and 40% whine.

except AOL?

I mean there is always a free stream for all GSL events, with the exception of the the first AOL tournament that happened some time ago.

Thanks. I might miss some of these games, so if like before, it should have VODs right

I would theorize it's a very important factor for foreigners in the GSL. When they play in the GSL they're not playing only for themselves, but basically for the whole non Korean world, and I'm sure it's a LOT of pressure and that's very hard to handle.
They know all eyes are on them, and that's a very hard position to play comfortably into.


Well isnt this one of Stephano strongside. When he is in a tournament he really dont care who he is facing he just focusing about winning

Koreans play in foreigner stages just fine. I don't see why it's a problem. Stephano will likely win his group.

I feel like Hero's fate will be determined by the first map (vs Stephano), in the sense that if he wins, he will have the momentum going into the next games which I feel is very important to him as his performance tends to be a bit streaky. On the other hand, I don't underestimate the chances of him dropping that game as well, in which case the rest of the games won't be pretty.

The group will probably be topped by MVP, but other than that it's really about which player has a good day more than anything else.

Yeah, but he's really inconsistent. HerO has taken DRG out before too. JYP has taken out DRG. What I love about this tournament is how hard it is to predict because they're all amazing players.

Wow, Browsing the GOMTV site I found MC Ready Action on their youtube channel :o
I guess every knows about it as it's one month old, but I didn't and as I ready most of TL I guess perhaps I'm not the only one.
oGsMC Special!
Watch this amazing 105min special of oGsMC. The Kratoss is talking about strategies, showing off his micro and is even dancing and singing! The video is divided in 2 parts and hosted on our YouTube channel.
