Do people really think stephano or scarlett is going to win over rain, parting or creator -.-

to be fair, stephano at his peak could take a few games off those protosses, but he hasn't looked so hot lately

scarlett is pretty good, but it's hard to say where she really is in terms of skill. i'd say mid Code A-ish, based on her performance at MLG?

they're both foreigners, so that's a huge draw for fans too. it would be good if they went semi-deep for foreigner hope! haha so long as they don't knock out creator :p

Your vote: Biggest potential upset against a Korean on Day 1?

(Vote): PartinG vs. Socke
(Vote): Stephano vs. HerO
(Vote): MaFia vs. Rain
(Vote): IdrA vs. RorO
(Vote): Curious vs. TitaN
(Vote): Major vs. herO[jOin]
(Vote): Nerchio vs. Creator


Voted Socke vs PartinG here. Stephano winning over HerO would not be an upset. IdrA vs RorO would be one hell of an upset, but I don't consider that particularly potential. Nerchio vs Creator, its certainly possible for Nerchio to win here, but Creator has been playing so unbelivably good lately so I wouldn't bet on it.

However, Socke (being the underdog of course) could have a chance to take out PartinG. PartinG's been playing kinda bad lately (IPL Fightclub and last night's GSL weren't exactly spectacular) + it's a PvP so you never really know what's gonna happen.

I wouldn't call Hero beating Stephano an upset either, but Hero has the advantage going in. Good results lately versus strong zerg opponents and he must have been preparing for the tournament since MLG a week and a half ago. Though Stephano made Crank look silly, his results in the match-up lately have been, at best, shaky. On top of that, Hero should be less strained by travel, though Stephano seems pretty impervious to fatigue. Finally, the map-pool for WCS is good for protoss. There is a reason why Korean protoss so dominated the Asian part of the qualifier.

A match between Stephano and Roro is tough to call, but simply based on the quality of practice you have to give the advantage to Roro. And if Stephano continues his tendency to build a relatively low amount of infestors, that could very well kill him if the match drags on.

Finally, Idra winning any match would be an upset, but not a big one. ZvZ is a much more stable match-up these days, but it is still hard being much better than your opponent. ZvP, well, that may depend more on Hero's form than on Idra's.

Chance of advancing:

65% Hero
60% Roro
55% Stephano
20% Idra

Not at all. We'll miss the early games, but we'll see the later ones and still have time to go to a party and fuck hot bitches afterwards.

Not whining, just preparing.
I know your GSL watching times are terrible and Dreamhack starts stupidly early but IEM isn't really european, the next one is in Singapore.
GSL is also not the best for us because most of us have work/school in the morning.

Who the hell made these groups? They're atrocious. That Group E exists when Group B, C, G exist are laughable.

Hmm, how do you spread out 7 Koreans and Stephano through 8 groups? Like this apparently.

It's possible to make the semi's without beating anyone stronger than Scarlett.

It's also possible for Stephano and Rain to face off in the round of 16.

Just wow.

This is why you should have at least a loser's bracket.

The perils of random selection. For something like this, there's really no better way to seed groups.
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

Chance of advancing:

A: Parting 90%, Socke 50%, Illusion 40%, Fenix 20%
B: Vortix 65%, Vibe 50%, Suppy 45%, Comm 40%
C: Sen 75%, Grubby 50%, Huk 45%, Killer 30%
D: Rain 95%, Babyknight 70%, State 20%, MaFia 15%
E: Stephano 70%, RorO 65%, HerO 55%, IdrA 10%
F: Curious 75%, herO 55%, TitaN 40%, Major 30%
G: Lucifron 95%, Lowely 75%, Insur 25%, Levin 5%
H: Creator 75%, Nerchio 55%, Scarlett 50%, moonglade 20%

I also took into account the initial matchups. Nerchio would have a higher % if he wouldnt have to go against Creator first.
Lowely had an incredible drawing luck. Would be at 10-30% in most other groups.
