EPTI'm proud of my predictions so far. I've managed to predict all the first week and have gotten the set scores of three. But honestly I think that everybody was expecting that outcome, I just put some words after it haha ^^

HerO > Agh TLO < Sase Ret > theognis If Quantic had used Nani or Destiny in the Ret match Id have no doubt that the game would go to an ace match though unfortionatly they arent so that ace match is less likely to happen which would probably be a SaSe vs. Zenio but oh well. It maybe still happen since Ret hasn't been play exceptionally well lately but we'll see. | ||

He's much improved since his visit to Korea an is doing alot better now then ever before. So I think your inferring that Destiny is trash is false and you should go back and rethink it seeing as how you're if thats the case.  | ||

Might have been worth getting Destiny v TLO and using Sase against someone else. With TLO switching races his mirror matchup could be quite weak and we all know how crazy ZvZ can be. | ||

This is exactly what they should have done, but I'm assuming that the NASL didn't just let Quantic choose who their players would play against. There's no point having four games with clear winners.  | ||

TLO has beaten Nerchio in ZvZ (bo3), who is near the level of Stephano, who is 7-0 against Korean zergs. I don´t think TLO is as strong as those two guys, but the fact, that he is able to beat them, shows, that he should be considered quite strong. | ||

The only thing destiny could have done was maybe beat TLO while SaSe beats someone else. But Destiny still isn't a top foreigner, and Hero/Zenio/Ret are much better than he is. | ||

He has some of the best ZvZ in the world and I don't see Shuffle standing much of a chance. That being said, since it is ZvZ Bo1 anything could happen, but let's be honest, it probably won't. I think Tal'Darim Altar is so big of a map that it's harder for cheeses to work, and I don't see how Shuffle can stand much of a chance against a S-Class ZvZer like Zenio.  LiquidHerO > AghOnce again, even if PvP is a match-up that produces more build order wins than other match-ups, it is also highly reliant on the micro of the player. Agh is going to need to get lucky to beat HerO. TLO < SaSeI think that from QxG's standpoint, it would have been best to get SaSe matched up against either Ret or one of the Koreans, because he's the one with the best shot, and then they might be able to win it 3-2 with an ace match. TLO is the weakest player that Liquid is sending out, but he's still pretty good. I don't think that with him switching races and SaSe being such a baller that he has a great chance, but TLO's wacky style might favor the Bo1 setting. Regardless, SaSe is a beast, and should be able to beat TLO. Ret >  theognisRet is one of the best foreigners, but he certainly has his weak points. theognis's best chance will certainly be cheesing or dispatching Ret early game, but after Ret starts rolling I don't see theognis being able to stop him. If it gets to the ace match (which is always a possibility with the Bo1 format) then I figure Zenio vs SaSe with Zenio winning it. I would assume that Liquid knows that QxG will use SaSe and rather then risking a PvP, Zenio (who just crushed NaNiwa at IEM) can beat SaSe in a ZvP. You were literally right about everything o.O How have you not won a liquibet season yet? | ||
