Free 10k for Stephano unless he meets some korean zerg.
Other than that,don't see Stephano losing based on his current form.

qxc vs Stephano in the first round? My two favorite players? I don't want either one to lose! :[
But it is a game I will love to watch for sure

Round 2 RevivaL, also maybe round 3 viOLet.
I don't think it's free 10k for Stephano.

Finally a really strong terran representation.
Hopefully that means the finals will not become a PvZ fest.

I hope aLive wins it. Maybe I can watch this MLG to the end, if a Terran comes through.

If Revival(looking strong recently) can beat Illusion then maybe.
Violet will be Stephano biggest hurdle in this whole tournament i feel.

If he get past Violet, it is a free breeze to the finals with the only tough challenge which is Hero.

Sortof,Daisy and Dream are my pick for Darkhorse.
Also predicting Losira to go really far.

Pretty sure Revival's a better ZvZ than viOlet is, right now. That's an awful draw for Stephano in the second round; I think Revival, Taeja, and Losira, with viOlet close behind, are probably the biggest threats to Stephano.

Cool concept you have there, MLG.


Nerchio, sase and stephano mid tier :o. Who is top tier if they are mid, Naniwa?

Nerchio isn't attending though. If a non-Korean takes this I will be one happy camper (and very very surprised :D).


The Koreans here are definitely not S Class.

It's a bit of a weird player pool in general. A lot worse than the first arena.

Plenty of good Terran's too and Stephano is more than capable of losing to Terran's.

Did you even look at the bracket??

All the good Terrans are at the other side of the brackets with the exception of Ryung.

Puma,Dream,Taeja,Ganzi,Alive,Top are all on the other side of the bracket.
They will be busy killing each other before any of them meet Stephano.

Terrans are now the least of Stephano worries since he got ZvZ to worry more about since that it is his weakest match-up.

And did you even look at Stephanos recent record against terran?
Since May 2012 he is 14-2 in series against terran, against top competition.
He only lost to Bomber and MKP, while winning against Kas, Ryung, Heart, Illusion, Ganzi x2, Polt, Puma, Morrow, Keen and Beastyqt.

The way MLG does these events is dumb, the qualy system was ridiculous, and like Idra pointed out on Inside the Game, the double double bracket system, while nice because it give a balanced finals, can actually be unfair, if one person goes through his bracket without dropping into loosers, and the other scrapes through on loosers, yet gets no disadvantage. Not terrible, but a cheap way to enhance the finals.

It actually makes a lot of sense.

AFAIK in the Bracket 1 and Bracket 2 finals the person coming from the loser's bracket does face a disadvantage. The reason the Grand Finals is on even footing is because it doesn't matter what games you won/lost in your bracket, you won the bracket plain and simple.

Yup, but that still means that one person could have been in loosers, won bracket 1 from loosers, and the other could have won bracket 2 from winners, and yet get no advantage from it.
Its not a true double elim, and while it makes the finals better compared to normal double elim, Single Elim would have better hype leading up to the finals.
They had 32 players, why not just 2 group stages, down to 8 players, and then just play out a single elim...
And they still have extended series.
It just feels like MLG refuse to have normal tournament formats, just to be different.

You lose the game.
You set the dog loose.

Come on, man, you're British. Shouldn't have to tell you this.
Foreigners fighting! Ovethrow our Korean overlords!

Heh, pretty fun brackets actually. Kinda neat that there's sort of a foriegner bracket... with several AMAZING players nobody wants to run into (Stephano, Violet, maybe Illusion, Alicia) and the Korean bracket which has less stars but a higher average of skill level, should produce a great tournament really!
Edit: Yup, I'm in love with this bracket and this system. You have like 4 allstar players in the first bracket with some underdogs, and a bracket full of top competitors in the second bracket. This system is FANTASTIC!

Edit2: Also vote for your matches to watch guys! Apparently a ton of people on Reddit want to watch Stephano obliterate QXC... best of luck to him. My two cents? Illusion vs Revival has potential to be a FANTASTIC match and it's foriegner vs Korean, TvZ, what's not to love!?

Sase vs Goody Dream vs Taeja and Sheth vs Ryung are all cool too.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
