even if the player made out of the open bracket, i think they will be exhausted from playing so many matches especially players from Prime and Startale with even bigger burden on them


what if prime and startale players play each other and one of them is a sniper for the other?

the gstl makes this open bracket soooooooooo much more interesting when you think about the builds players might try and hide or use to meta the other team.

This open bracket is pretty sick indeed

Go go GhostKing and Maru is what I can say, and Foxer to take it all ^^

Someone who is an awesome wrist surgeon has to run to Vegus and fix Mvp's wrists before the toruny.

Don't really like that the Korean pro's have been spread over the brackets so evenly.


Why not? It will ensure that the higher brackets are packed with the best players. If a foreigner makes it through, he sure as hell deserves it.


Just because IPL becomes just another GSL-like. Full of korean pro's. I like watching the GSL and Korean pro's, just not at every big tournament. Some variety and uniqueness between tournaments could be nice.

My thoughts exactly. I usually stop waching events when the last foreigner is out ^^


meaning you don't watch the best games...

it depends on what you call a good game. For me, a match between two strong foreign player, with their flaws and personality that i know well about, is better than watching imaculate emotionless robotlike korean play.
But that's my opinion, biased by years of broodwar ^^

I can get people want to see foreigners only, but why is it people always call korean emotionless? Most of them show plenty of emotions, if not more than foreign players. Perhaps you should tune in and see it some times instead of saying stuff which is not true....

As for the bracket, hoping Maru or Jjakji comes out of the 4'th bracket!

Heh, will definitely be cheering for Maru & Jjakji too!

Agreed, HerO & MarineKing for instance are a couple of examples of players who show a lot of emotion, if not the players who show the most emotion whenever they win/lose.
Choya sat in his booth for quite a while last sunday when he lost vs GKP at the GSTL.
HuK is the only foreigner who shows emotion when he wins/loses afaik.


What about Dimaga? O.o lol...there are plenty of foreigners who show emotion and plenty that dont. Same as koreans. I really dont get why people keep using that argument....

On the bracket. Stacked would be an understatement! It's going to be a nice weekend no doubt

Damn NonY got a bad Bracket T_T

Every bracket is bad. They're all full of Code A/S Koreans and players who are as good as Code S players but can't actually qualify for Code A.

Its literally impossible to predict who's going to come out.
Like bracket 2, I think, 'well July and Curious should get through,' but you have to win 4 games and HerO, JYP Annyung, Sound, Violet, Sleep or even the better foreigners in the bracket could take them out.

I'm still gonna try though, if I get 1 player right in each bracket I think that would be a success :D

Bracket 1: Virus (actually I think the most likely, he plays quite a safe mech style and I think that favours an open bracket where almost every player is good enough to take a game off another) and maybe Oz.

Bracket 2: July (he's go the advantage that, unless you're a regular in code S or the top of theKorean server you probably haven't played a Zerg like him) and Curious

Bracket 3:Ghostking and Squirtle

Bracket 4: Maru and Taeja.

Also who is JPEG? Its the only Korean I can't recognise, do they have another ID?

It's not two players per bracket, but one from each of these and one more from the LB :D
My picks:
Leenock if GanZi takes out Oz. Oz if he can beat GanZi
HerO if Curious takes the lower half, viOLet if he takes the lower half
Byun or Creator
Maru

Nerd tears ftw <3

Anyways I apologize Kobra, Dimaga isn't really a player I pay attention to, but you're right. There are plenty who show emotion and others who don't. I was just countering Zenob's argument.
It just feels that there are a few more Koreans who show emotion than foreigners, mainly because Koreans are more reliant on success in SC2 than foreigners, but in actuality neither should matter at all.
Just watch the great games they'll be putting up.

I don't get this, there's literally no easy route for non-koreans.

I keep saying like, aw X got a bad bracket because he drew a korean in round 2.

No, X got a damn good bracket because he avoided one in round 1 =p

With SaSe's PvT i think he has a chance to win his bracket. He's probably going to face: Select Mvp Ghostking(Byun) then Heart. He can do it for sure.

And I agree with you. I quoted you just to remind you of Dimaga and his screams and such, the rest of my comment was to the poster you were replying.

I agree with you, I just want to watch the best playing and the games they deliver. Even when faced with the emotion or lack of it from players, I dont get why people call koreans robots since there are examples of koreans who show a lot of emotion (like you stated) and examples of koreans who dont, and the exact same happens with foreigners.
