Pushing lesser players towards are final because they are swedish is not a win for esports. I dont believe this much of a coincidence. | ||

(To avoid certain players etc.) It prevents that what Stephano and Bratok did back in Assembly Summer 2011. | ||

Stephano has shown really bad ZvZ results while Nerchio has become quite the specialist in the matchup.. | ||

Nontheless, this is what i THINK will happen Stephano > Keen Nerchio > BratOK HerO > TaeJa MaNa > Catoplasm NaNiWa > sLivko Dimaga > Protosser SaSe > Ret Fraer > Harstem Stephano < Nerchio HerO > MaNa NaNiWa > Dimaga SaSe > Fraer Nerchio < HerO NaNiWa > SaSe HerO > NaNiWa ---------- What i hope will happen Stephano > Keen Nerchio > BratOK HerO > TaeJa MaNa > Cytoplasm NaNiwa < sLivko DIMAGA > protosser SaSe < Ret Fraer > Harstem Stephano > Nerchio HerO < MaNa sLivko < Dimaga Ret > Fraer Stephano > MaNa Dimaga < Ret Stephano > Dimaga | ||

If they were going to rig it they'd do so in a way that would have given Stephano and Naniwa a far easier path through to the finals, because that would give them the most viewers. | ||

Those that finished first in their groups should win their next round being the better players, though there might be a couple of upsets. Stephano Nerchio Hero Mana Naniwa Dimaga Sase Fraer Next: Stephano - Hero, Naniwa - Fraer. Stephano - Fraer Stephano Edit: I must admit, I do look here like a fanboy, but whatever. >:D | ||

TBH stephano isn't really looking that strong in this field almost no matter the bracket. Hero, slivko, nerchio are likely all favored vs stephano, and maybe also keen and taeja. Dimaga and ret would also have a good chance against him. No matter how you stack it he is likely to run into though opponents. | ||

You guys are ridiculus sometimes, if Keen/Taeja getting stomped by Nani/Sase, they are getting a hard bracket. It is not that hard to understand, isn´t it? | ||
