What is this "TL meet-up" thing? Are there any other Liquid players besides TLO involve in this?

Also, hope TLO will win. Beard power FTW xD

TL meet up doesn't mean TL players specifically, it's more about the TL community

Really hope that (T)

KrasS can make a good run. I still think the qualifying players will be (P)

HasuObs,

DarKFoRcE, (P)

Socke and

GoOdy, but the possibility for upsets is pretty high. Maybe (T)

DBS can get a spot

Top 4 will be Socke, Hasu, Darkforce and Goody I guess!

Rine could also go far if he trains enough for this event, as I think he should have a pretty good seed due to his EPS performance.

it wouldn't be an upset if DBS won imo...

he is most likely the player that practises most (out of the players that are attending) except maybe TLO (not sure exactly how much he has practice before he went to korea)

ah and of course if roof chooses to participate in the last qualifier PLS roof PLS i think he has a very good shot at making top 4 because he is VERY good eventhough he is still very young and not that well known.

(he qualified for MLG spring arena 2 btw... so sad that he couldn't attend

)

Yes, Roof and Olajuwon would be cool for the last to spots. Did Roof even try to qualify yet?

Edit: Xlord is missing too, but he seems to be in pretty bad shape lately.

It will be hard to overcome GoOdy though, he seems in awesome shape lately. Will be very interesting to see if any player is going to show a breakthrough and maybe an underdog like DBS or KrasS can win

I am 100% sure that TLO will qualify :D

+ Show Spoiler +

For those who don't know why I am so certain - I believe it was bumblebee who mentioned that TLO shaved his beard before korea because his 10th point came from the german wcs tournament
