Good luck to Stephano. I have wanted him to play Parting in this tournament, since they were the first two participants announced. Parting will be a big challenge for Stephano. Let's see how he does.

Single elimination is hurting eSports

Personally I like it more this way, match are more tense if there's no safety net.

... also why do people keep underestimating Violet?
In ZvZ he's stronger than Stephano and he's perfectly confident in every other matchup as well, I wouldn't be surprised to see it taking another title.

Stephano beat Violet yesterday. Yes Violet won at MLG, but Stephano was hungover and said he didn't care to win after he got top 3 and qualified for pool play.

For any z or p, Squirtle isn't just scary he's downright terrifying.


In 40+ games between IPL4 + GSL + yesterday's groups he played just against NesTea's vP (which is, for the record, awful) and ended up 4-4.

He also beat Leenock 2-0 (again, not Leenock's best MU in the slightest)

And then he struggled vs Ret 2-1

In a 45 days time-lapse that's just not enough players of not enough calibre in that matchup to earn the title "terrifying".

Such title can be easily addressed to his vP and vT instead.


WTF???????????????????? -- Squirtle has an approximately 71% win rate in KOREA and, in his last 24 games against Zerg, is 21 and 3 in KOREA against KOREAN players like DRG, Symbol, Seal, Leenock, etc. (Since you're obviously unaware of the Korean TLPD database and games played in tournaments like the GSL I wanted to emphasize KOREA.) The only other relevant zerg for determining a player's skill who is not in KOREA is Stephano and Stephano was 0 for 6 against Squirtle on the ladder. Squirtle is basically the fucking man at that MU. The only way Nestea beat Squirtle in IPL was an epic and epically uncharacteristic blink mis-micro and early all ins. He did well to win, but takeaway the all ins and Nestea has almost no shot (<20% IMO) of beating Squirtle and is completely outclassed. Squirtle is the best player in the world in terms of Elo and he has the best vZ on the planet right now, even better than the reasonably scary Terran trio of MKP, MMA and MVP.

It is utterly baffling to me given his tremendous run at the GSL and through the open bracket of the IPL that more people aren't all over Squirtle's nuts. It's very obvious to me at least watching Squirtle play that he's preposterously talented and a cut above pretty much every other P at the moment in vz and vp. I do admit that I was surprised by his loss against Ret. I'm guessing he seriously underestimated him.

So stephano has to win against Parting MC and Squirtle to take this... I dont think there is any z capable of doing that.

If there is a Zerg capable of doing it it's Stephano, I wish him many broodlords, he will need them!

It's just not going to happen...
At the end of the game, the king and the pawn go in the same box.

Bomber looked sick nasty. I think he could take this entire tournament with some good fortune on his side :o

So to prove a point you go to the TLPD and post the record of games played in October/November 2011?

That's your point?

In the last 45 days he is 8-5 vs Zerg with a terrible vP.

That's a fact.

Thing is, this is how Bomber rolls. He stomps everyone on one day, then everyone gets their hopes up, and he just crumbles the next second.

I would love to see Bomber do well, but it's no secret that he has consistency issues.

I hope Stephano doesn't win. I'd much rather if someone who actually cares about the game took the tournament, as opposed to the guy who gets wasted the night before a major tournament final. Used to think the same about Idra, who clearly hates SC2, but at least Idra cares. Stephano might as well be winning at poker or chess, I don't think it makes much of a difference to him, as long as it earns him money.

Don't mind anyone else winning, but would like SaSe to get top3 at least. The guy is due for some good tournament placings.
