From the European bracket, two players will earn their way into the GSL World All Star Team and from the World bracket, one player will earn their way into the World All Star Team. Each player will also be given a paid trip to IPL5 to compete in the main bracket!

I don't recall snute being that good at ZvT my information on snute is brutally outdated though but if he's as bad at ZvT as I remember lucifron should brutally bop him.

I'm not up to date on Snute. What has he done to make ppl like/dislike him?'
Surprised so many people put Mana so low. He's really good and while his vZ is low he did beat 10(?) time FC champion Hyun in the last GSL up/downs.

I think you're talking about targa, he said at Valencia "Cheer for me and boo for hero" then he beat said hero so he's an enemy of ESPORTS.

Lol, that's pretty funny. Sometimes I can appreciate a good enemy of eSports.

I think Lucifron 2-0 Snute, Slivko 2-1 Thorzain, Vortix 2-0 Mana
But I hope thorzain goes through because he's my favorite foreign terran. I'm just a pessimist
|
Lucifron, Vortix and Master Jane.

8:2 vs MorroW, 4:6 vs Kas and 6:4 vs Lucifron, he's quite decent with his aggressive openings, but I'd still favour Luci here, just my gut feeling.

I think it probably depends on the mindgames between these two. Luci has seen most of Snute agressive builds during PSL. It also helps when Luci's micro is "on".

Chances are these games were played way before they met in PSL, I assume they played around the time the NonY/Major drama came up since they probably scheduled EU and NA to play at about the same dates, so it's likely that the games are 3/4 weeks old.

Lucifron, Thorzain and Mana!
|
Looking forward to see Thorzain, but I think his series against Slivko will be alot closer than the poll suggests.
|
how long ago are these games?
|
Lucifron,Vortix and Thorzain will advance
|
When will Nerchio's game be broadcasted?
|

As I said above, presumably about 3-4 weeks.

Snute beat Lucifron 6-4 at the pokerstrategy.com leage one (or two???) week(s) ago. GO SNUTE!!!

Turns out mutalisks don't do that well against marines.
|
Beautiful game by Lucifron
|
|
|
Looking at the brackets and if Lucifron wins the series there is actually a big chance we will see a foreign Terran in the GSL world championship. Only Grubby stand in the way

There has been quite a bit of 11/11 this tournament.

Luci really likes to 2 Rax.

Strangely so, yeah, from current skill level the two representatives should probably be VortiX and Nerchio, but since the brackets are laid out that way, we'll probably have a terran.
Either way, I'd be fine with Luci or Kas at IPL since they haven't been attending any US tournaments in SC2. Grubby or Demu would be a bit boring for me personally, just because we see them everywhere anyway, but Grubby obviously pulls a large amount of viewers.

Gj luci. Kas vs Lucifron is going to be sick
|
GG Lucifron, Terran Hope advancing! Looking forward to a great TvT next round.

Why is Slivko listed as VP? I thought he was on RoxKis?

Thorzain just hardcountered Slivko cuz he knew he goes for broodlords/festors each game.. I wonder how this game would have developed had slivko gone for ultras..

Well not hard to figure that out but its easier to whine about zergs then come up with a solution to the Zerg deathball and Thorzain did just that

They were always good against Infestors, its that Slivko had no Overseers.

well lets not rush with conclusions, in that game "suprise" factor played a big role.. zerg just didn't expect that stuff to come at him..

Oh sick, the Curious Roach/Queen Nydus build.

T-Zain channeling his inner MMA.

Top 3 from EU and top 2 from NA/World get a spot in and a paid trip to IPL 5 afaik.

You look like you know your stuff. Does this still not qualify the players for the IPL5 main event or did they change opinion on this ?

When wil the rest of the games be casted?
