4 more immortal allin in PvZ, besides parting succeeds with different builds
Edit: ok its "besides parting succeeeds with different builds" for Game #1
Game 2: Immortal allin, never failed in the last few games i saw from parting. It was scouted like 5 minutes before it actually started. Questions to the zerg (honest one): how long does it take to get enough infestors or hydras to stop it, cause obviously roaches don't stop it (or maybe get burrow). What is in theory the best and easiest way to deal with it if you scout it early?

Edit 3:
Finally the answer: all you have to do is play less greedy and kill with infestors. Answer was that simple

Why is Symbol so far down in the poll?

He lost a match, but IMO he is the best Korean here (and thus best player).

i think it's a tie between him and MKP. none of these two are immortal to foreigners though.

considering that mkp seems to struggle in tvz lately and the quality of opponents symbol is way more likely to end up in the finals though
endure. in enduring, grow strong.

i think symbol, marineking, stephano, snute would have similar chances of winning. But brackets have put mkp and stephano in the first round, as well as stephano sometimes doesn't have the brightest of ZvZs, percentage-wise I'd say:

Symbol 30%
Snute 28%
MKP 22%
Stephano 20%
For some things, reason is not necessary.

This is like the perfect mixture of koreans and foreigners. I want all events in 2013 to have a similar ratio, then i might start be watching events til the end again.

Grubby vs XlorD final would be cool, for old times sake .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I don't get your statistical site lol. How is it that XlorD has such a high vT rating despite him vanishing from the EU scenes for months? Old games or something?

I think Xlord in finals is a quite realistic scenario.
He has to face probably the weakest player who is also not really good in TvZ and after that he has a guaranteed ZvZ against a player who is not good at it anyway. Xlord himself showed great performance against T and Z this torunament so I really expect him to make the finals.

For the upper part of the bracket everything is quite open but i would not mind a Grubby-Stephano semifinals. Have not seen this match in a while and at least 1 Protoss in semis (or even winning the tournament) would be cool!

if MC and MKP will be casting, it will be a jerk with jerklings and looches, winfestors, imba overlordmaphack and most interestingly no matter if its a TvZ finale, a PvZ or a ZvZ, Terran will win it, although the win will count for the Zerg

Well, here are my numbers, for what they are worth. Symbol is a big favourite, after him there is basically Snute, Stephano and Xlord (!).

Yeah, take them with a grain of salt as usual, but I did get all advancees right yesterday, as well as 7 and 6/8 from days 2 and 1 respectively. So I guess it's not total BS.
