I can't believe that Stephano vs Curious won't be streamed while it is a crucial match to know if a foreigner is able to advance to the final bracket... IPL needs some flexibility

idra got an invite for being ipl1 champion
same with white-ra for ipl2 and stephano for ipl3

Stephano though also won a qualifier , which is why Tails is there since Tails got second in that event.

IdrA will go 0 – 4 in his group – 1 to 3

Wax: How could we not make an IdrA related bet? Tough, but I actually think IdrA is being underrated here. Of course, there's no chance in hell that IdrA will beat MMA, who is the best TvZ player in the world by some stupid margin – forget whatever you've seen MKP do in recent weeks.

However, an IdrA > Bomber upset seems totally reasonable. IdrA's biggest, most impressive wins over Koreans in tournaments have mostly come against Terran opponents, such as Mvp, SuperNoVa, PuMa, etc. Bomber at his best would definitely be favored to win, but he's always been an incredibly inconsistent player, going from 5 – 0ing teams in the GSTL to dropping out of the GSL in the same week, and going from winning to MLG Raleigh to getting eliminated by IdrA in Orlando...

There's a number of beatable opponents that could float in from the open bracket as well. ZvZ can be pretty volatile, so you never know what might happen against a BBoongBBoongPrime or ST_Curious. All-in-all, 1 to 3 seems a bit harsh for IdrA to lose every single series.

Odds were dead on.

Well, another example why invitations suck

All qualifying or open bracket tournaments ftw!!

And then the tournament ends up full of Terran.

They're full time IPL employees I guess... but yeah I wish we could get a more diverse range of casters.

Practise obviously..

Well, IPL4 is lagging a lot behind schedule. Wouldn't be surprised if Polt won game 1 on Mists, then Squirtle picked Daybreak and won there with them now going into game three.

We'll see. If it was just practice, Squirtle/Polt should be on Stream 2.

+1 They are definitely very nice guys and put a lot of effort into it, but apollo is such an outstanding caster. Also casting should keep him from getting too much crack blackjack and titties - cuz he´s a Brit in Vegas baby! x-D
