Really strange play from qxc I kinda like the drops just because Yugioh is out on the maps, but then you need to have sieged tanks ready in the main base. Worst case scenario qxc has to lift his third while ravaging his opponents economy with drops.

As expected it all comes down to Scarlett.

Time to see North American players leave yet another tournament.

I think NA could actually be favored in this. Normally CIS would tear them apart, but with Kas/Happy/Dimaga not playing, the line-up looks unusually weak, Titan and Lowely have not been as strong in HotS as they were in WoL, sLivko has´nt shown that much in HotS either, White-Ra can have a good or a bad day, which nobody really knows. I think the main qeustion ist, how fast (or if) NA can eliminate Strelok.

Under no circumstances should CIS lose this. America only has a hope in the sense they're fighting against the 'B' team for Europe but even then you've got some massive names there. Qxc, Minigun and Goswser have done sod all lately. Well you could say Goswser has taken a game off Bomber at MLG but that was only when Bomber nuked himself of 100 supply and even then it was pretty close. Scarlett has done really well lately in GSTL so that's the only thing you can back on really. Pretty easy for CIS to prepare a sniper though. Kane has reached the finals of SC US but against pretty lackluster opponents and almost losing from a 3 - 0 lead against another sub-par player.

Should be a pretty good match!

EDIT: I'm a dumbass

Still, Strelok is pretty strong so gogo~

I´m hoping for CIS to win ofc, but I am just not to sure, that that will happen. It´s just, that every player besides Strelok is not in top shape. A Lowely/Titan in his WCG/WCS-form, sLivko in his usual IEM form or White-Ra on a good day are hugely favored (with all-kill potential) against pretty much anyone at the american roster (- Scarlett maybe), but they aren´t in top shape atm.
