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. | ||

What I love about this tournament is how hard it is to predict because they're all amazing players. Yeah and Bo1's as well. Basically I have no idea who will advance from this group  I'm slightly worried for Mvp, so soon after his WCG tourney, with a bunch of Bo1's vs Protoss and zergs. | ||

I think that Dual Sight might be the worst Zerg map on that list, and frankly, not to bash on Stephano too harshly, I doubt he'll be able to beat Mvp. Stephano's peak was when nobody really understood his style, but I think that since then, as his style has seen the light more often, players are starting to figure him out more. I haven't been horribly impressed with him recently, and I doubt he'll do that well in this group. My predictions for this group are:
Stephano might have won some tournaments, but I don't think that he's prepared to go up against the S class Korean players in this group. Only foreigner who might stand a chance in this group would be NaNiwa (maybe HuK but his PvP is too fickle, sometimes really good, sometimes god awful). Mvp is Mvp, so who would be surprised if he won the group? HerO has been on fire recently, but perhaps I have him that high because I like him as a player so much haha. MC is good, but a bit overconfident sometimes. Who knows though, he hits dirty timings and could possibly win it. DRG has bad ZvP (though it has been improving since the first time I saw it). He has a better shot at beating Mvp, but against two of the best PvZers I'm not sure how he'll do.

Don't really feel comfortable predicting results. MVP, MC, and DRG are probably the favourites to advance, but I can see Stephano and HerO pulling out a couple of wins and making it awkward.

However MC and Stephano is obviously not gonna show there A game on ladder when they facing eachother on blizzard cup some days l8r The thing is Stephano has played the same way he does in ladder as in tournaments. His recent success is mostly due to people unable to adapt to his style. As far as MC goes, he still has the best PvT. He beat DRG in KSL few days ago, and could definitely take HerO out. HerO and MC should be well accustomed to Stephano's style by now after practicing with them. DRG may have picked up a thing or two from Leenock. I just have a feeling MVP won't advance lol. I could be wrong though. | ||

You speak with alot of korean top players since you know this? starting to figured him out o.0 Or are you just sayign what Idra sayd in some interview? But you sayd it you havent followed stephano much. Did you knew that many many Korean pro´s want to practise with Stephano since he arived in Korea? Did you know that all of play XP is talking about Stephano? | ||

It looks like the consensus is MVP/DRG making it out and HerO/MC/Stephano fighting for the last two spots. | ||

MVP <Bel'Shir Beach Winter> MC Record-wise, the map is slightly terran favored but MC is probably gonna bust out some strong 2 base timing and kill MVP. hero <Daybreak> Stephano Stephano won't be able to handle HerO's PvZ style especially on this map. MVP <Tal'Darim Altar LE> DongRaeGu The map's pretty large and very open, I have a feeling that DRG will do some sick flanks on MVP everytime he pushes but MVP somehow has is able to crush DRG. MC <Calm Before the Storm> hero MC's got this, sorry HerO. Stephano <Crossfire SE 1.1> DongRaeGu I'll give DRG the edge in this. hero <Antiga Shipyard 1.1> MVP MVP is going to completely stomp HerO especially on this map if he plays straight up. Stephano <Dual Sight 1.1> MC MC is going to do some 2 base timing that Stephano won't be able to stop. hero <Shakuras Plateau 2.0> DongRaeGu I know this map is pretty much in favor of Toss over Zerg but I have a feeling DRG will take this. Stephano <Shakuras Plateau 2.0> MVP MVP's TvZ is terrifying, he definitely got this. MC <Crossfire SE 1.1> DongRaeGu This game could go either way, the way the map is structured, 2 base timings from MC can be very strong but it's also easy for DRG to counter attack. MC : 3-1 MVP: 3-1 DRG: 3-1 HerO: 1-3 Stephano: 0-4 This will end up in a 3 way tie since MVP > DRG > MC > MVP. And from then on, I assume MVP's gonna make it for sure. | ||
