Socke > Nerchio it will be close, but Nerchio has problems offline and Socke should not be underestimated
Ret > Kas although I would like Kas to win, he has been fantastic lately (online)
Stephano > Grubby Grubby could make it interesting though
WhiteRa > TLO; I just can't imagine TLO winning this with Zerg

The opening games are super hard to call: Socke vs Nerchio I would say that Nerchio is better, but he is terrible offline in general, and Socke seems to calm at LAN events.
Ret vs Kas While Ret can beat almost anyone when he plays to his fullest, he can also play terrible (for the best example of this, see his ASUS ROG series vs Whitera), while Kas, like Nerchio, is an online monster... So I have no idea which Ret will turn up, and who will win as a result of this.
Stephano vs Grubby Stephano is the clear favourite, but Grubby's PvZ has looked amazing recently, I think this will be the best game of Ro8.
Whitera > TLO. I love TLO, but its been months since I've seen him play that well.

I hope lots of people support this and watch, great to see grass roots tournaments coming together

Nerchio is hardly terrible on LAN. He won WCG Poland (above MaNa and Tarson). Placed second at SEC behind ToD. Won his group at IEM Cologne without dropping a map against HuK, Moonglade and Tarson.
Those are hardly "terrible" results.

*update*
unfortunate White-Ra's visa was refused. So whitera cant participate in the Battle in Berlin, which is sad because all flights were already booked by him 
We work on a replacement.

Got a statement from Nerchio and Stephano regarding the tournament:
http://www.aceresport.com/uk/news/240.htm
I'm wary of all of the players. Stephano and Ret are two of the best Zerg players in the world and ZvZ is already pretty random so those games can go either way. White-Ra and Socke are the two Protoss players who I have the hardest time against since they have a lot of timing pushes at unexpected moments and besides that I have a weak ZvP. TLO always plays oddly so I can't predict what he will do but I think he is the weakest of the player pool. I have played Grubby a lot recently and he has beaten me quite a bit however I think I finally found a way to play against him so it shouldn't be that bad. Kas is one of the best Terran players in Europe however he plays one style so if I play my game against him I should win. The favorite of the tournament is without a doubt Stephano taking into account his recent accomplishments. - NERCHIO
There are a lot of good players. I don't see anyone really scary but they could almost all beat me. The scariest is Nerchio, White-Ra, Grubby and Ret I think. I haven't seen Socke play for quite some time so I don't know if he has good form. I think I can win this tournament - not easily, but it's possible and I hope I will! - STEPHANO

Cast: Unfortunately were not able to get a suitable co-caster for the main english stream, so we are going to do a dual cast with some of the players. 3 players at least already agreed to it. Lets just make the most of it.
Unfortunately!?!? That's just awesome and so much better than just a random co-caster!

No, no, no... No. NO!
I wanted Stephano VS WhiteRa so bad... Can't wait to see who's gonna face TLO instead of him, though... Please make it insteresting! Gonna be late for a B-Day Party to watch these guys and I need a Hell of a Show to wash down the guilt.

I think Cloud would be a nice addition. He showed good results at the ESWC and he'd be one more terran. Or you could ask Goody!

Ret vs Stephano finals if they all play their best
Grubby vs Socke if god is on our side
