Stephano has a shot at the finals - which in this Top 8 is crazy - but the brackets have to align for him. Nestea is the master of ZvZ and facing him is bad for Stephano, though his ZvZ has improved. The critical thing though is to avoid the three TvZ snipers - MMA, Jjakji, and MKP. Polt and Alive are best to avoid as well - they know how to counter him.


so if i sum up stephano has to avoid Squirtle, Nestea, MMA Jjakji, MKP, Polt and Alive ? it will be pretty hard imo ^^

No, he has to avoid Nestea, MMA, and MKP, with Polt and Alive being good-to-avoid opponents but not critical.

His path right now goes through Bomber and one of Squirtle and Nestea - that path aligning means he faces Bomber and then Squirtle, winning both gets him into the WB finals. Then he hopes that one of Polt and Alive is who he faces there.

Hopefully IPL step up their game. From what I've seen so far it's all disappointing.

Don't really know who to cheer for besides Stephano and it saddens me. Normally I'd go with MKP, but after all the controversy last night, I just can't. I know it's not his fault, but I just can't :/

Exactly. Glad to see someone not overhyping Stephano. MKP got very lucky in having a Terran-free group.

Stephano is probably not going to make it out of his group. JYP (blablabla 4-0 in meaningless practice games) and Curious are both better than him.


based on what?

JYP sick korean PvZer. Curious won code A without dropping a map and is one of the startale aces.

No point in arguing with Dragonborn, that's his usual trolling strategy. He did that for ages in the LR yesterday. Just ignore...

Wut? Okay, in that case, it's easier for Stephano - he just has to avoid MMA and MKP in the finals, which is doable given that both of them lose to Polt in TvT.

Predictions:

WP R1:
Squirtle < Nestea (1-2): Squirtle must have focused gstl practice on some of creator, ghostking, mkp, so no serious pvz training. Nestea has been looking beastly this tourny.
Bomber < Stephano (1-2): Bomber has been preparing tvt for gstl, stephano has recently focused on zvt. Should be very close, but I think stephano can just squeeze out a victory.

MKP > MMA (2-0): MMA has not looked great tvt, MKP has.
Polt < Alive (1-2): Alive is pretty good tvt, and I don't really like polt's tvt that much. Should be close though.

WP R2:
Nestea > Stephano (2-0): I just consider Nestea better in this matchup and zvz is not really stephano's specialty.
MKP > Alive (2-0): MKP seems very strong, alive not so much.

WP Final:
Nestea < MKP (2-3): This should be very close. Both very good. But nestea has only shown good form this tournament while mkp has proven over the last couple of months that he is amazing.

LB R1:
Squirtle < Bomber (1-2): Squirtle likely prepared pvt for ghostking and/or mkp. Bomber likely not focused on tvp. Despite this bomber is great tvp, squirtle is not great pvt. Should be close, but I think bomber's fundamental strengths in this matchup should give him the win.
Polt > MMA (2-1): Polt seemed slightly better at tvt than mma this tournament.

LB R2:
Bomber > Alive (2-1): Bomber's tvt has been looking very good.
Polt < Stephano (1-2): Stephano seems to have shown recently that he has overcome his hurdle vs polt. Close match, but I think this is in stephano's favor.

LB R3:
Bomber < Stephano (2-3)

LB final:
Nestea > Stephano (3-1)

Grand final:
MKP > Nestea (4-2)

I love Nestea -- he's one of my favorite players -- but I can't see him surviving this. He did really well in his brackets against the caliber of opponent he can usually beat, and even then it was a bit shaky. I think any of the remaining players could potentially give him some serious headaches.

Having said that -- gogo prof tea

Good though Nestea is, I think he has to pull out a new meta-game to beat the TvZers in this tournament - I got the feeling yesterday watching MKP play vs. Curious that Terrans have figured out a winning strategy vs. ling infestor baneling and that we're in the throes of a meta-game change that favors Terran, and I reckon MMA knows it too.

Stephano's best shot is if Squirtle somehow upsets Nestea and MKP/MMA don't make it through their end of the bracket to face him

Is there any extended series rule or the like? Or is the only advantage to hitting the finals from the winners bracket that you are a bit less fatigued?
