Rooting for Losira, but I could see Coca taking it as well. This should be awesome.
|
I second that motion, go LosirA :D
|
Lets go LgNZeNEXLife!!! He completely deserves a spot imo, been tearing up (not FXOTearing but still tearing  ) "smaller" tournaments, and I can easily see him taking this. LgNZeNEXLife Hwaitinguuuu ~~

LOSIRA SMASH!

We will be seeing such brackets more often unless HotS cames out, or Blizzard buffs Terran. Unfortunately terminal deletion of Terran is more possible looking at last patches
|
Well there are still a bunch of strong terrans in Code A/S.
Anyway, GOGO Coca!
|
lol I mean considering how Code S AND Code A are 50% Terran and the other 50% is split between Zerg and Protoss, I'm more than a little glad to see a garanteed Zerg or Toss making it into Code A here. They don't call it GomTvT for no reason

Code S is no more 50% terran.
Maybe 2-3 seasons ago

I really think that SlayerSCoCa will do well. He was such a promising star before the Byun incident. I loved all of his play and the way that he looked at the game.
|
|
|
I really hope either losira or coca make it (Coca preferably).
|
The winner of Coca v Losira has this ezpz
|
LIFE LIFE LIFE
Will there be pictures from the offline event?
|
Hope either Coca or Inori can make it.

Life is pretty lucky. He could win the entire thing off his strongest matchup.

Lucky's ZvZ is amusing and I don't know about HyuN's. But Coca is Coca.

I think he can do it. Would be awkward though.

Hoping for LosirA gogo son !

Played May 20th, started at 1pm KST.
Though I won't say too much, EWM is also moving away from replay usage, more official deets to follow ^^

Last I heard Katu was considering making a proper effort to go pro. He's a pretty good Zerg y'know :O
Maybe he can tag in/out with Attero or something on casting/playing duty.
|
why did Losire receive a bye?

Coca got a bye because Losira was at MLG and unable to play as a result.

I was not aiming at his playing skills, just his ability of casting at playing at the same time.
And the post was like 1min before the checkin deadline, I didn't saw Attero jumping in at the very last second. ^^"
