Go China! I think they will do much better vs reynor this time around, since they've seen reynor's deep run at WESG and want revenge from last time. I expect China's protoss squad bring the book of BS and take notes for him. Hope I'm not jinxing though.

Starting at 7PM? I expect this to end at 2 am at least with how much downtime there is 
|
Reynor and Snute will advance.
|
Will they play this whole group out today or just the initial matches?

I'm not sure, wondering the same but for the 28th there is already the next group scheduled according to Twitter. 5 Matches would mean the show would drag on quite late for them in Paris though.

There is quite some foreigners that play on GSL qualifiers so this decision makes sense. Really wanted to see some nationwars action today though. 
|
Dang it. Oh well, I'm sure the players are relieved.
|
hmm, it's an hour past start time and rerun is broadcasting?
|
Ah nvm, just saw tweet above. So today's lineup is actually happening Mar 29?

You shut your damn mouth Shellshock! Always hating on us Canadians, first cheesing me out of the 2013 Team Liquid Live Report Starleague, and NOW THIS!? How DARE YOU, eh?
+ Show Spoiler +For reals though, it'll be a challenge for sure. I'm hoping we can take down China and Italy

Lol didn’t we cheese each other? I think it was proxy marauder vs cannons or something. Good times

I would like to see China take down Italy since TIME is a promising young terran but if our team didn't manage to take a single game off of Reynor I doubt China will be able to take two...
Norway should go through easily vs Canada but it might be hard vs Italy.
I'd go for the long shot and predict :
Norway 1st and China 2nd coming from the loser bracket with the rematch curse against Italy :D

It's not oversize, it's the correct size. Ex-British places have 1:2 ratio flags whereas most countries use the more sensible 2:3 (and Norway for some reason has an 8:11 flag).

Snute is a beast, but I don't count out NoRegret against any player in the world in 1 map. He won't take a series off of a Snute, but 1 map he certainly can. Now they need to beat Snute twice, so it might be difficult, but they could do it. Then if Italy makes it through that could be an interesting finals. Reynor is a beast, but Italy has no depth. I take Jig and Bioice over MiaNonna and RuinBlaster anyday. So again noRegret can take any 1 map. But can they defeat Reynor twice?
Honestly I'd rank this group as:
Top Player: 1) Norway, 2) Italy, 3) China, 4) Canada
Depth: 1) China, 2) Canada, 3) Norway, 4) Italy
My Expected Order:
1) Norway, 2) China, 3) Canada, 4) Italy
But this format means best player is super important. I would not be surprised if any team comes out of this group or any team gets eliminated, This group is up for grabs. Only maybe Group C has more parity.
Now does anyone know what the Ro16 schedule looks like? This group will start on Thursday but will they play the whole group on Thursday? Or just first two matches? If they are only doing 2 matches per day it will take quite a while to complete the Ro 16 no?
|
Going from aligulac, Jig and Bioice are on the same level as Scythe and Poseidon. I would give Norway a slightly higher depth rating than Canada.
It really all depends on whether the seconds or thirds can take out the first.
