Seems like a mid-skill tournament, guess those can be interesting as well. A good way for new players to show what they're made of. (I'm looking at you, SortOf.)


How is it a mid-skill tournament when you have to qualify for it?

Rooting for MMA, though he does have the hardest group, IMO.

I SMELL A COMEBACK!

I wonder who will be casting this. I think Kaelaris is a given (he casted the prelims), probably Apollo as well, Bitterdam are working for NASL now... any thoughts? Maybe Grubby? *wink* *wink*
Busy night, but there's always room for another... unless the servers are down.

Wow, group A is stacked.If I understand it correctly, only two players per group advance, my guess would be 1)Nerchio 2)Inori, but Sortof could easily take either of them out. Demuslim is very unlucky, in every other group he had a chance to go through, if he plays well and maybe upsets one person, but here the odds seem to be against him in every match.

Group B should be viOLet/Kas; Feast is good, but Kas did go 3-1, 4-1 and 3-0 against Fraer recently, so his TvP seems to be on fire and I can´t really count out viOLet as well. PiG is clearly the outsider here, based on former results (IEM, ONOG) but I have not seen him for a long time, so I can´t really judge him.

Group C is tuff to call. Elfi is always unpredictable and I have not seen much of moonglade and minigun for a long time, so I don´t know, how good they are currently. I think, this group is the one, you want to be seedet into as someone from the open bracket, so maybe someone like Socke or GoOdy could have chances as well, to win it. I don´t know, I predict winner of the ZvZ and someone from open bracket.

Group D: MMA.Nothing to explain. After him proably Vortix and hopefully Hasu.

Go on KilleR, I think he can beat vortix and hasuobs and with a bit of decent luck he can take down the people from the open bracket. His confidence must be at an all time high, he recently won an online msi tournament which including wins over tails and a little terran called taeja and while it may not be impressive to many the title of "best player in all of South America" still must be a massive boost to morale he can do this.

Damn, I had higher hopes for the quality of players. There are some good players here for sure, but overall I don't feel the skill level is where it should be for such a premiere tournament. Heres to hoping some sick players comes through the open brackets.



It is this way because scrub zergs knock out high quality players of other races atm, no matter how good you are you cant be a consistant winner against decent zergs.

I guess MMA is back on the A team right? Otherwise they wouldn't have sent him here I'd guess

a few months ago this would have been free money for MMA but I think he hasn´t rounded up to top shape yet. I imagine very few Koreans (if any) are going to try the open bracket, but I expect the european challengers to be good...

MMA vs Nerchio finals plez.
