Even if it goes to ace Thorzain vs Puma, I'm not quite sure that Puma will have it. Polt is usually much better than Puma and Thorzain beat him 3-1 last time.
Yeah. Thorzain is on fire right now.
EG always manages to fail in clanleagues and I wouldnt be suprised to see 0-4.
Thorzain and Mana are strong favourites. Idra vs Bigs is a cointoss, I guess. Morrow and Puma seem to be evenly matched at the moment and in this matchup.

Bigs is a better player than Idra overall? LOL ...I'm guessing you don't have proof that Idra is better and are hoping your hearty laughs obscure the fact. The burden of proof here kinda is on the other side >_< (I've never actually heard of this guy and after checking TLPD there's a reason for it...) Funny that you are mentioning TLPD as a reason for never hearing of bigs, when he has about 40 points more than Idra. And like someone above me said, biggs won Gamers Assembly and got second at EPS in 2012. What exactly has Idra done this year? The points are kind of void after you compare their opponents and tournaments against each other. I don't have a single clue about those two tournaments. Those wins aren't on the same level as any of Idra's tournaments, so in my opinion you can't compare them to his showings at all. As I said, he's a fairly unheard of a player which usually means he shouldn't be the favored one. Your argument is "Idra has lost a lot to top-tier koreans and foreigners lately, therefore he should be ranked ahead of someone who has beaten a lot of mid/top-tier foreigners lately." It doesn't take a genius to see that this line of reasoning is illogical. If you're going to favor someone in a match you should have a general idea of their skill levels; popularity will not tell you how good a player is. My problem is the number of people that rate Europeans to be some huge top-dogs because they win some European-only tournaments, and then they proceed to get knocked out in the first couple of rounds at an MLG or IPL. Or they'll be in pool-play for an NASL or Dreamhack, and get completely dominated by everyone in their group. It's happened far too often for me to accept European-only tournaments as any kind of reasonable benchmark. Can you name a specific case for that? Because I don´t really remember one. I think "hyped" euros mostly deserve the hype, they got, whereas new potential korean superstars often end up doing nothing, when they fall once (Sage for example). Players like BeastyQT, Nerchio and Sjow come to mind. Although, I can't say Sjow gets overhyped, just that he's garnered a lot of prize money from European tournaments, and fallen flat in international ones. Honestly, there's a huge slew of European players that have a ton of 1st place finishes in tournaments that are EU only, but end up in the bottom half at major LANs. Hmm, I can´t really agree with that list. Nerchio has narrowly lost a ZvZ against a korean at dreamhack after defeating Naniwa and Hyun. The only IPL he ever attendet, he got second place, he was never in any NASL or MLG. Beasty did not attend any big tournament for ages as well, I think the last one was IEM Cologne, where he lost against Kas and MC, which is nothing to be ashamed of. And Sjow has strong results internationally, he beats most foreigners and loses against the most koreans.
I'm not arguing about why they don't have results. I'm saying that hyping players purely off of EU tournament results is not a good way to judge relative skill levels.

biGs < IdrA
MaNa > Machine
MorroW = PuMa This is the Match to watch imo, either mouz brings it home or EG takes this to an ace match.
ThorZaIN > JYP

That was just, ehm, idiotic. IdrA though about that as a ling allin, but bigs defended it by building lings too=IdrA is not behind (in fact he was ahead/even).

Idra doing his thing I guess

IdrA should really take a break from this game imo. He obviously doesnt like to play it anymore.
|
:-\ He clearly loses if Biggs decides to attack given Idra doesn't have a banenest...but alteast wait to make sure he is going to attack after holding off the aggression.
