Ha, Still working on the formatting, the MLG site didn't support copy paste well. No, TheSTC is only in group 6

Scarlett is taking a break, does she forfeit her slot?
|
I think group 3 will be toughest..but polt only has to practice vs z for it so he should get out.

Ah I thought she was already on it, well I think group 1 is the best.
|
So basically not any notable na player, maybe aside from scarlet, has a good shot at winning his/her group...
Edit: maybe it can happen in groups 5/8

I'm hoping Illusion can do it. I haven't seen him play in a while, so I don't know how well he has been playing as of late - but I'm probably most excited to see how he does. Really rooting for him and I bet he has a good chance to get out of his group.

He's got a decent chance. He's shown pretty solid TvZ so the matchup with Moonglade is about even (don't know too much about Moonglade's current skill), and he could definitely beat Maker (I have no idea how Alguiac has Maker higher than Illusion lol). Alicia will be tough, but he'll be tough for all of them

Poll: Which group are you looking forward to most?
Where is the "None" option? :p
I guess it's group two, viOlet and Oz are fun.
Killer TLPD links to Sangho/Swagger
I think we'll have 3-4 foreigners in the Ro16 and 0-1 NA players.

Because it's most convenient for the people playing.
The number of the groups is irrelevant, they should be cast in the order that works the best for the players.

1 and 2 are stacked
If MajOr was in groups 3-8 he would have such a better chance. Well, luck of the draw.

Gogogog killer! I know you gan do it man!

anyone know the details on attending the event?

Agreed. GSL does this all the time. I believe the Ro16 of GSL is being broadcast in the order CBAD

Hi guys I'm LG-IMFenix
I'm training strong with my Team Incredible Miracle, I feel very prepared for my big return on the scena of gaming.
gl all my friends

It's pretty easy to predict who will come out of their groups...maybe besides group 2
|
Except group 2 and 3 i think theres nothing worth watching. Its gonna be better next season when we have more koreans.
btw theres no thread for wcs na challenger league open qualifier? because sting and comm didnt make it to the actual qualifier.

what happens to scarlett?

Could someone make a counter or something when this begins since they aren't scheduled in TL calendar.

....at idras low predicted percentage..... blame a type 2 error when he wins, you all fail to see hes gonna destroy that group

Group one with 2½ koreans.

Can't see how. Everyone in that group has proven to be a lot better than him in the past few months.
Gowser I think is probably the best US player.
Polt. nuff said.
Revival. Very inconsistent Korean, but decent enough to make it out.
But hey, we all thought he was fucked at WCS with Stephano, RorO, and HerO. Maybe he's got a small glimmer of a chance. That was probably the best I've seen of Idra in months though...and it was WoL
|
So we are guaranteed 3 foreigners in R016 but still a chance no Americans will be there.
Who wants to give odds on no Americans and more than 3 foreigners in Ro16?

Gogo Fenix! I hope you tear through your group! :D

Will these games be live or from replays?
|
mOOnGLaDe is going to fucking eat his group alive. Maybe Alicia can take a game off him.
|
If HerO and alive plays, will they play on KR server or NA server?

Wonder if Demu will get a seed since Scarlett is taking that extended break...?
edit: nvm, saw she is taking break after this season ends for her
Also, what happens to EG-TL since pretty much all the EG-TL players elected to play for NA? Won't they have to come play LAN at some point and then no one would be Korea?
|
I hope MajOr makes it through. I think he's going to be one of the best foreigners in the world soon, with all that Kespa training and all. GL Princess

I´ll be the happiest camper if Fenix has a good showing.
Also Huk gotta represent.
|
So, I guess MLG is ensuring that as few as possible US players enter the ro16 by not randoming the groups?

If they want to play in WCS NA, it makes sense that they use the server where all the obs/broadcasters will be located. Their choice, their fault.

You rather have random groups over properly seeded groups? The group stage is supposed to filter out the weaker players, if those happen to be the NA players then so be it.

does anyone know if you can attend this event in person?

You are right, he might be destroying his group, but he'll probably still not win it.
