Haha that bracket ! If VortiX had gone through the group stage instead of Kas, we'd have had LucifroN-VortiX in RO12.

Btw, I love the Kas/LucifroN/Socke bracket and the bottom one (YoDa/PartinG/Grubby) is really scary.

First the only Korean in the upper bracket.
Here is hope for a foreigner in the final (Socke? Lucifron?).

I feared for that.

Interesting game to not cast, to say the least.

Well, today was not a very great day, so maybe these should be taken with a grain of salt. But still, Parting's so far ahead of anyone else remaining (except... Lucifron?) that it's kinda ridiculous.

16-man single elimination bracket

Most likely winners:
      PartinG: 76.40%
      First: 11.35%
      LucifroN: 4.98%
      Kas: 2.67%
      TLO: 2.18%
      Dream: 1.08%
      YoDa: 0.70%
      Grubby: 0.29%
      Socke: 0.21%
      Daisy: 0.14%
      MaNa: >0.00%
      Nerchio: >0.00%

Life expectancy:
      PartinG: 3.65 rounds (win)
      First: 1.87 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      Dream: 1.74 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      TLO: 1.68 rounds (lose in the semifinals)
      LucifroN: 1.31 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      Kas: 1.19 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      Daisy: 1.19 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      Socke: 1.09 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      YoDa: 0.62 rounds (lose in the quarterfinals)
      Grubby: 0.47 rounds (lose in the round of 16)
      Nerchio: 0.12 rounds (lose in the round of 16)

The infestor was severely nerfed recently, and many Zergs didn't have time to adjust. I remember Golden was talking about it specifically. Plus, the Zergs at this tournament are not the elite top-tier (such as Life, Leenock, DRG, Stephano, etc.) The best Zerg in attendance, Nerchio, still managed to advance, but his play seemed subpar (made 3 infestation pits in 1 game).
