EPTAnyways, as for the interview videos for Koreans... It was a bit cringe-worthy but raw emotion shown through and it was beautiful. Zenio was pretty good. Liked how he expressed how painful the times were for him. LOL

That's really all you guys need to know. So ZvT, ZvP and TvZ all the way through? Seems reasonable to me. Although from a fanboy point of view, I think mastering the mirror match-up is part of what defines 'the greatness' of a player. Like Nestea wouldn't be Nestea if his ZvZ wasn't so dominant. | ||

You shouldn't let a player just completely throw a matchoff off their practice list just because it is their weakness... I don't see what's unprofessional about allowing race picking. In fact, most other tournaments do allow that, like Dreamhack or MLG (and MSL and OSL in BW iirc). In MLG you can even switch your race after every GAME... Also, you throw one matchup off the list and add another, so you still have to practice 3 matchups. | ||

I can imagine this situation becoming troublesome if it becomes a common thing or a matchup becomes viewed as particularly weak for a certain race or on a certain map. If one person person plays Z but won't play ZvZ and another person plays Protoss unless it's Zerg then he plays ZvZ...there's going to be a conflict and one person will get his way while the other will be screwed. | ||

Wait, there isnt one? Thats crazy.. wtf O_O Win a league that goes for months, get seeded vs one of the top terrans from a qualifier because you won, without a losers bracket? Ahhh... | ||

Hmm, I guess it only makes sense if one of the two players is race picking and the other not. I have no idea how tournaments would handle a case where both players are race picking, both probably would have to play their standard races. But for now this is a non-issue, as almost nobody ever does race pick. MorroW is obviously pretty good as Terran as he played it as his main before he switched to Zerg, but I don't think there's a lot of players besides him, who have a good enough off race to risk this. | ||

Still... my prediction having looked at the brackets is MC winning, but I think Ret has a good chance if he plays as well as he did throughout the season. | ||
