exactly the top4 I wanted 
will be deserving players for the WC no matter what
the best are probably Nerchio+Lucifron, though vortix is also very strong these days, dont mind Duran Duran

The spanish armada got this.

Nerchio > Vortix
Lucifron > Grubby
Vortix > Grubby
As much as I like grubby, I want LucifroN to win just so the world team has a Terran we can root for.
|
This is being played in 2 hours right?
|
In terms of current shape probably the Spanish brothers would be my pick for the team.
However the experience and charisma of Grubby might be really valuable.
From the world bracket I really hope Sen's gonna make it.
It's a tough choice, good luck to everyone!
|
Nerchio 2-3 VortiX
Grubby 1-3 LucifroN
Nerchio 3-0 Grubby
I expect both Spanish brothers to progress and I think this is possible with the MUs. Nerchio dropped hard on ZvZ in WCS Finals, and LucifroN/VortiX had strong performances, so I think they can take it.

He didn't drop hard, he beat moonglade and lost to Scarlett in close games, VortiX also dropped a series against Vibe. Also, we don't even know when the games were played, since the players probably needed quite a bit of time to plan accordingly in case they qualified, the games might be pretty old.

so 2 and 1 player make it into the gsl thing, how many make it into ipl?
|
grubby already announced as caster for IPL5 so he definitely didn't win a spot
|
three from EU and two from the rest of the world make it into IPL
|
All of these guys deserve to go to Las Vegas. I'm not sure Nerchio will go, he is usually the guy who ends up cancelling due to personal life.
VortiX, LucifroN, Nerchio in that order.

ParanOid said yesterday that Nerchio's flight was already booked, he only needs to get his visa after returning from Shanghai.

You could certainly do both (play+cast). Especially at a big event like that over so many days with so many casters.

I think we are going to see Nerchio and Lucifron out of Europe and Scarlett out of World Bracket. Nerchio only seems to lose ZvZ when he faces Scarlett. I just think Scarlett's biggest challengers are all zerg and she is a monster at ZvZ.

Sen went 3-0 against Curious this weekend, I'm sure he has a good shot against her.

Mind says nerchio, heart says Lucifron, cock says Grubby

True. Sen did look strong versus Curious but I jsut can't get it out of my mind that Scarlett has defested Nerchio (twice), Vortix, Moonglade and taken Leenock to a 4-3 in a best of sven lately. It might just be my bias because of seeing this ZvZ dominanace lately. It should be a good game though.

Scarlett definitely better at ZvZ than ZvP... should be a good match

Yes, but Lucifron won't lose. He's in way better shape than Grubby.

Ouch, Luci forgetting those upgrades may hurt him, Grubby's currently hit 2-2 vs 1-0

Not sure if Grubby scouted the 3 CC build from Lucifron, I'd imagine he did. His response of a quick third and double forge seemed a bit risky, but did give him a platform to likely take this game
|
Nah. Grubby was dead once the templar were dead. After they died the engagement was never ever going to be different.
Lesson is to have redundant detection at your defensive positions in lategame PvT.
|
He was talking about game 2.
|
|
|
Yay, a team that makes me actually excited for the showmatches. Everything worked out nicely in spite of community voting, even though I'd have liked Titan or fraer to get a shot as well.
|
Grubby playing very scared
it seems like he's always afraid of phantom army that's not there and missing his chance to attack.
|
Good old roach all-inn, way too greedy play from Grubby with no scout.

Where does the world qualifiers fit into this if the foreign team already has 5 and the Korean team only has 5 people? ... Im confused ...

The foreign team only has 4 currently:
Stephano, Naniwa, Nerchio, Lucifron.
the fifth is the NA winner
Vortix vs Grubby was played for an IPL5 spot AFAIK and, neither are in GSLWC.

the last match was for 'who gets a free trip to IPL5' not 'Who is the 5 member of the team'. The 5th member is the winner of the NA bracket.
That was played out as a consolation match because of the confusion over the number of players. so players 6 & 7 won't be on the team, but they do get to go to IPL5 anyway.
|
Oh ok, thanks for clearing that up :D
They should fix the liquipedia page though, coz Vortix is listed as one of the five.

gratz to everyone! sad grubby can't play, but his casting is amazing
|
IPL you people are freaking idiots and you disrespected Not only Scarlett, but Sen also. Sen doesn't need Walk-Over win, he 3-0 Curious Zerg, he could have easily Earns his spot. Scarlett has every reason to be angry.
People should run Anti-ad campaign to protest against EVERY Promotion, EVERY Merchandise IPL is trying to sell at Las Vegas and Online.
