While he did win Oceania, none of those players are ever in international competitions so we have no way to gauge how well he will do. So what if it was last year? He hasn't gotten any worse. Look at his opponents. mOOnGLaDe lives and breathes ZvZ so sLivko won't stand much of a chance. Minigun 3-0ed IdrA, true, but mOOnGLaDe is better than IdrA right now since IdrA is just slumping like fuck right now. Grubby will beat mOOnGLaDe, I reckon. ZvP is GLaDe's weakest and Grubby's PvZ is quite nice. If Bly could almost beat Bomber, mOOnGLaDe can beat Bomber. I expect Bomber to be playing better today, but GLaDe still has a legitimate shot. elfi's PvZ just plain isn't good. mOOnGLaDe has beaten him before, anyway. Now, I'll get the inevitable responses calling me a fanboy, and yeah, mOOnGLaDe is my 2nd favourite player. But my fanboyism doesn't reflect my predictions in any way. My predictions are based off facts. | ||

Meh, sLivko is one of the best Zergs in Europe, at least top five if not top three, I don't think he's worse than moonglade. We'll see. On August 17 2012 06:10 KalWarkov wrote: 1. Bomber 2. sLivko 3. Grubby ------ 1. MC 2. Vortix 3. SuperNova That looks exactly like my predictions, but I'm sure it won't happen that way because I've been awful at predictions lately. I'm pretty sure Vortix will do well, he's been on a roll and neither of the groups are too strong in terms of Koreans so it'll be a pretty even playing field with a lot of different results that could happen. I'm at least expecting close results in the groups, similar to what happened in A and B. | ||

My predictions are based off facts. I'm not saying he got worse, I'm saying there is no way you can say he's as good as these international players we see play against eachother all the time when he is playing inferior (with the exception of probably Minigun) competition in Australia. But, if you say he's a superstar still, all the power to you. Also, sLivko is a ZvZ beast and one of the best Zerg period in Europe. | ||

There is no doubt in my mind GLaDe has the skill to advance, it just depends on how he has recovered. You'll probably see a lot of us aussies cheering him on in stream chat | ||

My predictions are based off facts. Facts, really? Glade is better than Idra because idra is slumping is a FACT? Glade "lives and breaths ZvZ" therefore Slivko can't win is a FACT? I'm cheering for Glade and all, but let's get some perspective. | ||
