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. O lawd. I respect the fanboyism but I've got my cash all over Moonglade losing and I think this is a bit of a skewed view. (1) Just yesterday TTPiG got DEMOLISHED by the international competition and PiG is somebody who has been beating Moonglade pretty regularly... Lol if you think Moonglade can take a game off Bomber... (2) Slivko is an absolute monster... We're talking wins against HYUN, Stephano, Dimaga, Sheth. Yes, not only the top of EU, but amazing Koreans, and the King himself, Stephano. You really think Moonglade can bring it to Slivko? Not only do I believe he'll 'stand a chance', 2-0 to Slivko in my books. (3) As for Moonglade's P v Z, he got pretty comprehensively beaten by xGKingLight in the recent WCS... And Light is somebody who... wait for it... I have beaten on ladder. Yes, me a scrub nub shitty-never-played-a-lan in my life zerg. Lettuce get some perspective... Grubby and Elfi aren't gods... But they're sitting atop EU (well Grubby is up there at least), with moutains of experience at Lans like this... They are the favourites against Glade. (4) Minigun is rubbish so you can have that victory ^_^ Slivko 2-0 Moonglade Elfi 2-1 Moonglade Minigun 1-2 Moonglade Bomber 2-0 Moonglade Grubby 2-0 Moonglade | ||

None of us mOOnGLaDe fans are doubting the skill level of the rest of the group, he obviously he has a massive task in front of himself. Like i said earlier, GLaDe and PiG are coming off the back of a 3 day tournament that consisted of 12-14 hour days. They then jumped straight on a 28 hour flight to Germany. This isn't an excuse, but the people who know these guys will understand if they don't perform to their best - unfortunately everyone else would instantly label them bad. ![[image loading]](http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4949/iem1.png) That was IEM VI - he made it out of groups and into the Quarterfinals where he lost to MaNa. In IEM V World Championships he took 4th spot after narrowly losing 2-3 to Squirtle in the 3rd place play-off. He has the skill the get out of groups - it's just a matter of if he has recovered well enough from the past week. | ||

Huk and tarson are, in my opinion, not very good... Huk is a so all-inny, it was bound to be figured out sooner or later. Tarson's not great either. His IEM V results were impressive, but that was like 1.5 years ago or something... Even if you view these results at their hightest, it's two LANs and it's not even that good. The guy is no slouch but I still don't think he'll do well.. | ||

I'm cheering for Glade and all, but let's get some perspective. Um, it IS a fact that IdrA is slumping. He used to be able to beat top Koreans and now he loses to random NA players. I never said sLivko can't win, just that mOOnGLaDe is heavily favored. | ||

In his Real Talk interview, Tasteless talked about this. It's about branding. He and Artosis have been consciously working hard on branding themselves as the casting archon, making Tastosis a thing. They're business partners as well as friends. Previously, they didn't want this to get muddled up with The Plott Brothers. Likewise, Day9 has established his own brand with Day9tv. Now that they're already so well established and known, Tasteless is open to casting with Day9, but when Artosis is there I really don't see a reason. They're great together! | ||

PiG didn't beat mOOnGLaDe regularly, they trade series fairly evenly. And PiG's ZvZ may be even with mOOnGLaDes, but mOOnGLaDe's other match-ups are far superior. And I already backed up why I think mOOnGLaDe can beat Bomber. Bly could beat him, so can GLaDe, even if Bomber is going to be playing better today. Even if he loses to Bomber and Grubby he's still 3-2. sLivko beating those players is impressive. Good thing GLaDe has done the same thing. Not in tournaments, but he has beaten people who have beaten NesTea, Stephano and more, etc, in addition to mOOnGLaDe having GM MMR on Korea meaning he faces very, very good Zergs. I actually love playing this game. The whole "THIS GUY IS GOING TO WIN AND HERE'S WHY" and the subsequent humilation/FUCKYEAAAAHness of the outcome. Don't take any of this too seriously, it's 9Gag style: Just for fun. | ||
