We are so lucky that the French WCS is at the same time so that Stephano can't be there. It would have been such a shame if he would have ruined the couch with his vomit after he lost.

Group A: Nerchio, Socke, ToD, Naama
Nerchio, Socke are the obv choices for sure.

Group B: ClouD, IdrA, Bly, Bling
i think Cloud wont make it vs 2 zergs, which leaves 1 zerg getting trough, Bling is not in top form right now so i go with the two zergs to make it out of groups. Bly, IdrA.
Since neither really took something down lately its prolly the easiest group, either of them would have no chance in the other ones.

Group C: Ret, Happy, ReaL, IncontroL
Ret, Real will make it.
Incontrol is not really in a good shape (if he ever was). Happy might upset us if he can beat both protoss.

Group D: SaSe, GoOdy, Dimaga, DarK.FoRcE
SaSe, Dimaga will make it.
maybe DF can upset
Goody will have no chance vs 2 good zergs who can exploid him and SaSe is a monster vs terrans

Group E: MC, HasuObs, Tarson, TLO
MC, Hasu will go trough.
maybe TLO can upset if his PvZ is great. He recently lost to Hasu 1:2 in uber close matches at the german WCS. since he will come from korea and maybe be a bit tired i dont think he can make it tho.
poor Tarson will not have any chances but he obv has to be at every HSC

Group F: MaNa, Sleep, Kas, Destiny
will be close between MaNa, Kas and Sleep. Destiny will have alot of time to play poker.
i go with Sleep and Kas to make it.

Group G: Sheth, YongHwa, Slivko, DBS
i have not seen alot of sheth lately, Slivko and DBS can upset everyone. DBS will prepare like crazy for this event so i think he will have decent chances.
i'll go with YongHwa and DBS.

Group F: MVP, Golden, NightenD, Monchi
MVP and Golden are my picks. maybe Monchi or Nightend can upset.


According to my analysis...

A: Nerchio (67%), Socke (50%), ToD (43%), Naama (40%)
B: Bly (57%), Bling (57%), Cloud (43%), Idra (43%)
C: Happy (60%), Ret (57%), Real (50%), Incontrol (33%)
D: Sase (63%), Dimaga (53%), Darkforce (43%), Goody (40%)
E: MC (70%), Hasuobs (53%), TLO (40%), Tarson (37%)
F: Sleep (60%), Kas (57%), Mana (50%), Destiny (33%)
G: Slivko (57%), Sheth (50%), Yonghwa (47%), DBS (47%)
H: Mvp (57%), Nightend (50%), Monchi (50%), Golden (43%)

So that will be my prediction.

Did you write a script or are those random %?


I essentially used TLPD's vX ELOs to compute the probability for each player to advance.
However, I tweaked the formula because you can't assume that a TvZ ELO 2200 player will beat a ZvT ELO 2150 player all the time, so I looked at what effect ELO difference makes, and drawing from very little data (that's where my formula is weakest; could easily improve it but that's where my laziness set in) I estimated 1 SD to affect each player's Pwin by 10% (so players within 114 ELO pts are 50%, 114-227 difference will make it 60/40 and so on). Then simply compute everything for all groups and voilá.

Edit: Of course the data is biased now, but this predicts DH stage 3 group winners with 70% accuracy.
Taking the raw ELO for the same formula predicts DHs3 winners with 81% accuracy, but for HSC the two only differ in their predictions of group E and H (with a 3-way-tie between Mana, Kas and Sleep in group F). Overall ELO sees MC and TLO go through for group E and Mvp and monchi win group H. Since I disagree with these, I chose vX ELO instead.

LOL I can't believe so many people think MVP is gonna win. This is not GSL where you can prepare cheese for opponent. I think MVP doesn't even know half of these players, and when he faces something like Bly's wacky playstyle he will have NO IDEA WTF is going on!

This tournament is either won by MC or a European.


You some what have a point but Mvp does not prepare to make cheeses (i believe you are angry for him winning gsl) he played 6 macro games against squirtle every one of them were were really well prepared for squirtles gamestyle and map design. But yeah Mvp might not know every player there but he is king of preparing and might want to look at his opponents gamestyle from replays etc.

I think Mvp still has really good chances to advance if he have time to relax before tournament. MC will definitely do well and prepare for this. I think SaSe and YongHwa will also do great. SaSe has been on fire in latest tournaments and YongHwas way to victory in KR qualifiers was really hard you guys should pay more attention on him

I hope Naama will do well because i'm also from Finland but mostly i'm looking forward to see Naama casting some korean casting MC + Mvp :D

Predicting Destiny 4-3 Incontrol in the finals.


Sarcasm or no, nothing would make me happier.

I think both are going to go down fighting tooth and nail at the least.

This will be a break out event for a lot of players, I just have that feeling.


I agree, I'd love to see both those guys really smash some nerds here. (But I'm predicting Incontrol 4 - 3 Destiny. I wager five internets).

I think it would be hilarious as well because MVP is the best sc2 pro of all-time so far yet he recieves like half the attention of some bigger name foreigner players and gets a lot of shit from people who say he cant win outside the gsl(ye right, man lol). People like naniwa who say that mvp "isnt that good, he just prepares well." Are you kidding me? Mvp makes splitsecond ingame decisions every single match that puts him in a position to win. Ive never seen a guy with so many fluid builds that he can just adapt based on scouting. Thats why he is so dangerous, not because he 'prepares' well. I expect him to crush this tourny.

I don't even care who wins, I'm just looking forward to the tons of fun HSC provides. I want an MC+Idra cast. Please, make it happen. :D

Only 1 name doesn't fit there IMO... Destiny. I mean - what did he do in the last HSC? He barely had any screen time, outside of the poker table. While Inc... he should be at every HSC :D "What are they doing? Are we being... trolled? Where's the camera? ...Well that was a dumb question, there are cameras everywhere."
I hope for some hilariously bad games with him casting, lol, this is at least a tournament, where player-to-player(when casting) bashing is OK.
