 Also, this hate for Bo1 is just bandwagon and you are taking some things from the completely different game (start of WoL). HotS is not so random, better player will win in 80% of times. Just look at all the Bo1 qualifiers, better player almost always won (yes, there were surprises, but I think some surprises are a good thing...) | ||

I've seen Fantasy, Flash and Innovation all at different times open with a few tanks and still do their parade pushes, it's just they don't do it every game and they still lose to roach bane. yeah, ur not adding the extra build time of tanks to the push timing, but rather cutting down the hellions u build from the reactor, so instead of like 6 or so, maybe u only make 2 for minimal map presence than starting tanks to be safer. Cause if you're getting roach baned map presence isnt the biggest thing better focus on living lol. I guess you do fall a bit behind if you make tanks after 2 hellions and they dont allin you, but with enough good drops, solid play a bit of luck you should pull back to at least even(especially if you're the better player). Its not a unwinable position if you get like 3 tanks. Should be interesting games, i think its also a good place to copy builds, these are probably going to be pretty ladder safe. | ||

A, C, F, G all look more exciting to me ^^ Ok E has Jangbi and Life, ans Losira hasn't been doing bad lately. But Fantasy isn't really on the same level is he? | ||

I've always liked how OSL had their entire map order decided beforehand. That way the players can practice maps instead of just matchups in general. | ||

Because  JangBi and  FanTaSy are so legendary even though they are not on the same level as  Life and KangHo | ||

Also don't think any group is stacked enough to be called the group of death. Not any group that I looked at and went "wow...". | ||

I think there will be one or two surpises but the game isnt that random. Better players will move on just not with boring macro2-0s. There will be a lot of tense moments hopefully and many creative ideas. Outsmarting will be more important than ever. And since these guys prepare, I don't think there'll be that many all-ins or cheeses. That's just too plausible for the opponent too. Who'd wanna fall out of the OSL with a failed cannon rush? (And if someone does it he's just that much braver for doing so -- which will do good for hype, and excitement, once gagain.) | ||

Well i guess that if i would look at stats the player that wins first game probably wins the bo 3, 70% of the time but still don't like it :/ If's it like BW, round robin stage will be played in severals days | ||

Do all people realise that a group of death is meant to be the hardest to call? | ||
