Format
Contender Division Group A is made up of four teams: Acer, aTn Type, compLexity, and FXO. Group B contains NSHoSeo, Empire, Karont3, and Dignitas. Both groups will play round robin against each other team in their group. When group stages are over, the top two teams from each Group will play against the bottom two from each Premier Group for a chance to enter that division! The bottom 2 teams from each Contender Group automatically fall to the Amateur Division and their spots are taken by our top performing Amateur teams.

This match doesn't matter for K3, they're through regardless of what happens today they are fighting for the life of dignitas who can get through if they win as for hoseo it's all the line for them if they win they're through if they lose they're out.

To be honest, it looks like NSHS doesn't have anyone that can take down VortiX, and only jjakji and tassadar to take down lucifron. Given that the other players of Karont3 have shown to be able to take at least 2 games between them, and given that the other NSHS members are so weak, I have to give Karont3 the 5-2 or 5-1 victory. The number of losses that Karont3 will take depends on if Karont3 sends out LoLvsxD (not so good), Verdi (good), or either of the other two (somewhere in between).

Nshoseo has gotten pretty weak, but those Koreans certainly can take down VortiX and Lucifron (not saying they are favored). Jjakji is still an absolute boss and probably favored against both.
Anyone other than Vortix/Lucifron getting a win against a player on a Korean pro team would still be a decent upset.
I rate Vortix and Lucifron pretty highly, but Nshoseo is still favored here IMO.
|
I'd like to see Jumanji vs Lucifron, but since GSL finals are tomorrow, I'm rather going to bed.
|
I have a dream. I dream of the day that foreigners cease to under-rate koreans simply because they are lesser known.
Seriously, NSH gonna crush through today I think.
|
if jjakji loses so does nsh. vortix and lucifron are strong and either of them have the skills to take out jjakji. tassadar might be nsh's saving grace and seal+sculp havn't been showing their 'possible code S' skills lately.
5-2 karont3
|
This is basically can jjakiji can take down the Spanish brothers. If jjakiji has a really good day he can do it, but the odds are against him.
|
Go Go Vortix! Team kill time
|
Why does everyone underrate Verdi so much? O_o
|
Why is Seal still listed on the roster?

Yay brown he's one of the best shots at bringing down hyun.

Vortix as starter, the spanish armada is not kidding around.

Well, I was on that opinion before frikin Jrecco killed everyone in NSH beside Jjakji.

And vortix goes down to brave quickly brutally without taking any maps not a good start.
Ryo deciding to choya it lmao.
|
ooooh, two cool teams. nshs used to be so awesome with seal and freaky. still got tassadar though, ever the antagonist.
|
Never underestimate koreans just because they are not in GSL or foreign tournaments. They still practice a shit ton on the best ladder and have some of the best work ethic.
|
i wish catspyjamas would grow his hair real long, and make a ponytail.
i think he'd look severely badass.
edit: with the beard ofc. ponytail and no beard is not allowed.

Yeah the choya tactic did not work for ryo.

Foreign team will get the vote every time, and Korean team will win every time, as always.

Brave just bopped all 3 duran brothers looks like an all kill is on the horizon.
|
These guys just missed the game.
|
Brave is looking so strong right now.
Edit: Looks like an all kill
|
Yeah Brave!
Aaand all the Vortix and Lucifron hype falls down. The community needs to stop overhyping people off a few foreign tournament results.

GL against startale, IM, EG, MVP and FXO/TSL K3 brothers gonna need to work their balls off.
So should we count this as an all kill for liquipedia purposes?
|
Anyone think K3 threw the match to get the bye?
Oh nvm looks like they didnt know about it.

So it's fair for people to say that Vortix and Lucifron will get many kills, even beating jjaki? How is that not idiotic? People need to stop hyping up foreign heroes. What about the idiotic mentality that people will 5-2, 5-1 because they have been good in the foreign scene? I don't understand that mentality. I'm not a fan of NSHS (look at my tag, my favorite team is foreign), but the absolute hype is ridiculous.
|
Surprising TL votes for the poll considering NSH is a pretty strong team still.
|
So did they just forfeit because they knew they were going to lose or did they have no more players available?

Idk it just seems weird to say that the hype will fall down after they lose a bo1 cross server, makes no sense. The hype will fall down if they repeatedly dissappoint at live events, as it should if that were to happen.

Well, I look pretty stupid. But, as other people pointed out, this match doesn't matter to Karont3 in the least; it's possible that, otherwise, they would have at least sent out more than 3 players. So I'm going to hide in that hole now.
Korean B-teamers. Sheesh.

Karont3 seems to be promoted directly after slayers disband. Congrats!
|
Ridiculous is people forcing their views on others.. fuck that!
The spanish armada is for real and it won't be a cross server bo1 that will prove otherwise..
They lost this one.. get over it!
|
Well it's obvious that Karont3 didn't take this seriously at all. They sent out their manager to play, and didn't bother getting AlastOr, Verdi or Mikoel to play (who are not on team Karont3, they're merely on loan); they knew they were still going to get through, so they didn't bother. I don't want to take away anything from NSH and Brave coz he played well, but there's not much to read in this match at all. They don't usually send their heavy hitters out first either. It's a pity Karont3 didn't take this as seriously as they could have.
