Yes Ret. And Mvp's reign would be over long ago if he wasn't immune to the Artosis Curse. Number one requirement before considering to becoming a programer, check you are immune to curses!

is anyone here expecting there to be a realistic shot at a foreigner in the semis?

If Mvp plays like he did yesterday, Mana/Nerchio's chances are slim.

Stephano has to go through PartinG AND Yoda so I think it will be tough.

Ironically, I think Ret has a decent shot vs Yonghwa (He did 2-0 First) but I think getting by Sting might be tough.

But overall, I would be surprised if we see a foreigner in the semis.

Mana < Nerchio < MVP
Parting < Stephano > YoDa
Ret < Sting > YongHwa
Dream < First > viOLet

MVP > Stephano
viOLet > YongHwa

viOLet > MVP

Bold predictions, let's make them come true! Whatever the case though, I think YongHwa and viOLet have the best chance.

Wow, it turned out that there can´t be a mirror match till the semis. That´s cool. Also Mvp´s path to the finals looks manageable. Mvp vs Violet 4:3 please, plus code S seed. Thanks.

Seems to me like everybody should have a 100% chance of being in the top 12, and Mvp+Yonghwa+Violet+Yoda should have a 100% chance of being in the top 8.

is it a mistake that on the TL calender it says it starts at 9 rather than 9:30 today? (e.g. in like 40 minutes)

Maybe the stream starts at 09:00 (40min) and the matches starts 09:30.

Pretty sure that post is referring to finishing position, such that "Top 12" means "9th-12th", not 1st-12th.
