[PokerStrategy.com] White-Ra vs MǂFeast
PokerStrategy.com once again brings you an incredible showmatch between two big names in the EU scene!
White-Ra is a player known for his creativity and well mannered approach to games, and with the ever-present “Special Tactics” his PvP is guaranteed to be entertaining to the fullest. With tactics developed since White-Ra's days as one of the best foreign Protoss Brood War player, since which time his inventiveness has shined through winning many tournaments, White-Ra truly is a master of the RTS genre. Feast on the other hand placed 4th in the IEM World Championships, Top 8 at various IEM stops and is constantly proving he has what it takes to go up in the ranks. Having been signed to team Millenium, Feast has become a significant force to be reckoned with.
This event will showcase some of the highest level PvP in Europe and will show how what used to be considered a coin-flip matchup has developed into a dynamic, exciting micro focussed battle of minds between some incredible players.
Not only will the event be broadcast from both players points of view on their own streams but PokerStrategy.com has taken it one step further. Should you wish to watch as a spectator with casters too, there will be an English cast provided by Z33k. This allows the most detailed viewpoint of the games possible short of being an in-game spectator yourself.

Predictions:
Robert "PandaTank" Botha: I think this should be a fairly close one. From my own observations both players have pretty strong PvP. I believe the nature of a BO15 will favour Feast in terms of stamina. Although on the other hand WhiteRa's very creative style helps keeps him unpredictable in such a long series. I'm going with 8-5 in Feast's favour.
Samayan "BlinG" Kay: In such a huge series i think white-ra will have the upperhand here. Everyone knows him for his creative and unique playstyle and with so many mind games in PvP as it is, white-ra will have the slight advantage here i feel. On the other hand, feast's micro and overall solid play will be really tough for white-ra to crack so i have no hesitation in saying that the series will be a close one!
Prediction: 8-6 for WhiteRa.
Vesa "Welmu" Hovinen: Both players are really good, but I think that Feast will barely win it 8-5. I've played many games against Feast recently in ladder and his play feels very strong at the moment
Jon "BabyKnight" Anderson: They're both good players, but I think their worst matchups are their pvps. I would give a slight edge to Feast, 8-7 :D

Will you be able to cast this Grubby? Plz say yes xD
|
ow yeah, this is gonna be some good. will be a close one to!
|

Oh, bo15, hopefully it's pvp because in some other match up , if one player start to dominate, 4-0 is hard to deal with so imagine 8-0 :D
|
|
|
Bo15 PvP???
Should show a lot of good builds.
|
Can't really bring myself to respect anyone who want's to associate with Millenium so let's go White-Ra :D 8-0
|
Feast will take this one. I love Whitera, but Feast so gosu. :D
|
WhiteRa will destroy Feast with Special Tactics! Feast can't ever be ready for Special Tactics, no one can!
|
|
|
I hope white-ra wins, I vote white-ra!
|
Feast likes to play blink and white ra likes robo builds for that reason i give a slight advantage on white-ra as far as bo goes but overall feast's control is superior to white-ras so i say feast wins 8-6
|
Pretty Awesome.
WhiteRa: 8-6
|
Feast 8-4
WhiteRa hasn't been making an impact on the scene lately and feast pvp is VERY good.
|
WhiteRa 8-6
Good luck to both our fellow Brotoss
|
Excited for this one. Have my pen and paper ready...
WhiteRa: 8-5
|
|
|
|

|
Belgium Pride Feast taking it home. 8-4
|
I think Feast will win it 8-4, but there's gonna be some great speshul taktiks!
|
WhiteRa wins 8-6 
|
Interesting choice for this show match imo.
Good luck to both, I predict 8-5 for WhiteRa
|
WhiteRa 8-5 of course
|
|
|
Wow a Bo15 *-*
I like Feast, but I loooove White-Ra.
Beast from the East gogogo! Special tactics incoming 8-6 White-Ra

8-2 WhiteRa
We'll also see mass carriers in one of WhiteRa's losses.
|
|
|
8 - 5 WhiteRa
I think the score will be pretty deceptive though. These two fall pretty evenly in my eyes and I expect the games will be pretty even.
|
8-3 WhiteRa.
For no other reason than nobody picked it
|
|
|
|
|
Nice match, i will defenetly tune in to one or both player Streams!
I think that Feat will take it with a 8-5
|
Even though i think Feast is the better PvP player right now, i guess White will win 8-6 cause he has so much experience in long Series Situations. Mind-Games will become a huge factor tonight and noone can keep up with WhiteRas SpEcIaL tAcTiCs !
|
|
|
Im going for 8-5 WhiteRa.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm saying 8-4 to Feast XD
|
Let's say Feast 8 - 6 Whitera
|
I would say Feast has this, 8-5 ^^
|
|
|
|
|
Best of 15 PvP, it's like a dirty little dream became true.

8-6 for White-Ra. Good luck to both!

8-4 for White Ra. It will be interesting to see what kind of builds they bring out in such a long series.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm gonna go with Feast winning 8-6, but White-ra is amazing at them special tactics, so it could go either way!
