My first impression prediction:
TL > FR
KZ > TL
KZ > AX
DPG > KZ
SR > DPG (thanks to the strength of ZvP and ZvZ from SR)
NV > SR

TL going to win bothmatches on day 1
Between them and AX it s a toss up but either of them is going to be stopped by DPG
DPG vs SR is going to be close, but I go with the boring prediction here, DPG wins just to get destroyed by Maru and his friends in the final

It should be interesting, the order of matches will probably be very important for TL-AF, if AF can manage to slip Keen and Armani in at the right time to bring it to a Trap-Clem duel, AF is probably fine. If they get stuck wasting them against Clem and need Trap to sweep Harstem and Mana/uthermal, I don't like their chances.

I don't really see how TL can step over KZG. Time and Solar > Harstem, Mana/uthermal. Clem has better chance against Solar, but it's unlikely he can make a 2-0 with TVT. Time is really good at TVT

Poor engagement from Trap. No stargate unit production to kill the harrasing raven, and he relied too much on the blink stalker play.

Voted for teamliquid!
Still, Trap is in poor form, thankfully Zest will go to Katowice and maybe make yet another finals appearance. He is the true best protoss atm now that Trap is slumping

Wow, what a game 1 between Solar and Clem. Crazy stuff. I didnt believe Clem could beat Solars late game, but he just barely edged it out in the end.

Solar wasnt great in the lategame this time, seems like he rush into engagement way too early, before he got all the BLord and Infestor out, which cost him like 10BLord right off the bat. And the fact that Clem had no Blueflame Hellbat to guard the ground units mean Solar should have Ling flooded the Ghost to cancel all the Snipe. He didnt do that until the very end and that cost him more units.

Well, he did assume that it was Time vs Clem, in fact I thought Kaizi should have tried to do that, sending Solar first to clean up everyone else on Liquid, and save Time for Clem TvT. But they were drinking the cool-aid of Solar beating Clem in Last Chance.

The format isn t whoever eins x maps, wins the match.
Its whoever gets eliminated 4 Times loses.
It could possible go
A1 1-1 B1
A2 1-1 B2
A3 1-1 B3
A2 2-0 B1

Or

A1 2-0 B1
A1 0-2 B2

A2 0-2 B3
A3 0-2 B3
A1 2-0 B3

I know hindsight is 20/20 but I wonder if kaizi is kicking itself for sending solar against clem instead of time. I don't see solar losing against anyone in the tl squad except for clem, and time could have been sent to snipe clem out

basically, first team to a combined four 1-1 and/or 0-2 results loses the match. If you're looking at the Liquipedia scoreboard, you're not looking for who gets the most "green" results or even the numerical scores; it's about which team suffers four yellow (1-1) or white (0-2) results first.

There's also rare BO1 ace-match possibility if both teams lose their last "life" at the same with a 1-1 draw.

From what I have observed, he was the one who pioneered the fancy tricks on the spellcasters like heavy usage of neural parasite on Bcs (either killed by corrosive bio or corruptors) and neural parasite on the ghost to EMP all other ghosts. Then, Dark popularized the methods in the high-stake tournaments.

That's great and all but I was being sarcastic because Ragnarok killed his own +3 attack while trying to get energy on his Vipers.

Yeah, but mostly happened when he failed or didn't win a map with it. But, Dark made them into perfection and won map with the strategy.

Well, the ZvP was completely chaotic. Mana couldn't believe he got there, Ragnarok couldn't believe he got there, then Mana couldn't believe he didn't win. Then Ragnarok couldn't believe he's still in the game. Then Ragnarok was thinking, that since he's in the lead, he returns the favor and lose the next few skirmishes. Then Mana went into - hey, how about I try to win. And is a near success. But then Rangarok remembers he's the one supposed to win so he actually wins.

It was messy and ubelievable, but quite fun.

Ed> Are these protosses even trying? Classic warps in stalkers wihtout a shield battery to not reveal DTs while Clem still reveals DTs and Classic loses so many probes. Damn, that a weird move.

Can I cherrypick this one day if results to say protoss ain't doing well

Sure, why not xD

Classic gets into a lead to lose two fights because he doesn't know where the Terran army is. This just hurts to watch

Wondering how showtime managed to just 3:1 Clem in the last ept cup, is his PvT rly good ATM or did Clem stay low before this event.

To be fair Zoun played really weird builds and lost to them more than to Clem and Classic lost the first game to a BO loss and taking a risk which did backfire.

Showtime PvT has been very good lately, beating lots of good Terrans in convincing fashion as well. His micro has been very on point and barely get caught in the middle of the map.

Imagine this being another split set and then after two ridiculously stacked runs in the same series, we end up closing it out with Zoun against Harstem.

AlphaX doesnt have an ACE and that pretty much shows here.
Btw, the next match might start around mid-night in KR as well.

I think it's more of a stylistic thing, Clem is super agressive and that just play into Ragnarok style who like to fight constently on low tech and break the terran momentum.

This result is better for the next series to be honest, TL got like 1% chance of beating DPG, they was just gonna send Cure out first to smash everyone on TL and force Clem to a 1-1. Then DPG can throw anyone at Clem to take another map off him.
AX got a better shot because of how the Protoss players, assuming they not doing weird shit again, is better against the DPG players.

Well, they halve ALL air-to-ground attack, so the Ultra wont just die to Carrier & Voidray. You need Immortal to shoot them down, and Zoun was reaching 200 supply so he couldnt add in more Immortal. That fight on Rogue base, the Protoss ground army would have smashed through Zerg so hard, but Zoun sticked with his air unit too long and Rogue found the perfect composition agaisnt it.

Maru usually plays better in longer series like Bo5/7 than short series Bo2/3 because he can throw in certain mind game and risky build. But yeah, this map pool is Zerg favored through and through, just because Maru won the last couple tournaments doesnt mean Terran is doing well on it.

What kind of Kato would it be without another zerg title while saying Terran and Protoss are fine?

DPG will send another player, right? Maybe Zest is a right choice after all and Dark may not survive against Maru either. Since Zest is going to military soon, by beating Maru in single map, it will be a great accomplishment for him.

It's Pride of Altaris, it's gonna be a Zerg, don't kid yourself.

Yeah, on Pride, I'm not expecting Maru to win.

They really should get rid of Pride from the map pool. It's just another Beckett. Completely unfair for the other races when so many other maps are favoured for the Zerg already.

Pride of Altaris, what a great map, like we need more zerg friendly maps. I wonder what the next map pool will be
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Dark was significantly more than double Maru's army supply there.

Lots of it was in Swamhost, so they are kinda useless though, but Maru did not have enough unit to defend nevertheless.

Ona has to feel sorry for the author though. The constant vetoes and shitting on their map has to be infuriating.

Pride of Altaris 43.1% TvZ, Hardwire 41.6%, all the other new maps sitting at 46-48%, this map pool is just absurd. Zergs screamed bloody murder about Beckett which is at 55.4%, and now there are two maps that are worse in the current pool.

Honestly, the most annoying thing about that is that everybody is pretending the maps are equal, they are balanced and the game is fine, all the races are fine. When the game loads on a map and the casters would say - well, this map has a very bad TvZ record, it will be an uphill battle for Terran - it would be better than "yoyoyo, we have here Maru and he's gonna win because he's Maru".

Well if you place a gold base you know the map is starting off wrong. Blackburn is okayish because you can split map

Just to much dept from DPG, you got Zest to snipe Ragnarok in his worst matchup, you got Cure to nullify Scarlett and Lambo zvz and zvp upset potential then you have Rogue and Dark to handle Maru.

GG to them

The map maker of pride deserves all the flack the map gets. Everyone and their mother knows that a map with a billion bases, including a gold, would be zerg favored (this is not even accounting for the other zerg-favored features, like a long distance from main to main and the different paths of attack). I'm of the opinion that map makers don't get called out more often for making maps that are so overwhelmingly skewed in favor of one race

Well, who selected the map to the map pool? We should aim our anger at the selecting committee and not the author.

If maps are bad it should be allowed to alter it mid season to do things like remove a gold base/slow zones/rocks etc

We have to summon the ghost of David Kim and alter the reality to update the map at the end of season, imagine changing in the middle.

Or before the World Championship starting, let the players/caster/fan to vote on the 7-maps pool to be played there, using all the maps during the current EPT season (Feb-Jan). That way we dont get Pride AND Glittering AND Hardwire on the same map pool.

It's amazing how when something is busted in favor of Zerg, we have to wait for ages to get it fixed (*cough* 50/50 super nydus, *cough* broodlord infestor), whereas when Terran or Protoss have something abusable (mass Raven, sentry-immortal) that shit's gone pronto.

Now the game's in maintenance mode, and somehow when the maps get rotated, we still manage to get *this*?
