you should never be willing to bet anything on a starcraft 2 game, hell I thought there was no way maru was going to beat rain after rain went up 2-0 and now I'm stuck with this stupid signature for a few more weeks.

I didn't even lose a bet.

After that crazy Soulkey comeback you thought it was impossible for Maru to come back after he lost just 2 games?

can we now safely say that Rain crumbles under pressure? All I remember from proleague were his ace-match losses, but I'm not sure what his actual ace match record was...

For the first 4 rounds his ace match record was really good, but he started losing them a lot near the end.

As much as I like Naniwa, I really think he's the underdog in the group. I actually think he'd have a better chance vs Innovation than vs Taeja since he's usually good at preparing specialized (sometimes cheezy) builds for his opponents, and if Innovation has a weakness, that seems to be it.

Nice write-up either way. Really bold predictions, but unless I remember incorrectly, Zealously was right about Maru vs Rain too... So yeah.

Innovation doesn't lose to Zerg or Protoss in macro games if he is in good condition.

I don't think he can possibly lose to DD even if DD all-ins.

Naniwa really has to perform better against Duckdeok this time. I for one think he will get his revenge.

This is beyond crazy. The fact you're betting against the best player in the world whose skill honestly can't be determined by losing two matches is beyond silly. I think you are focusing on the negatives on Innovation, and focusing on the positives of Naniwa and Duck, because what you're doing is seeing past the domination Innovation had in Proleague (whose skill-ceiling is above the roof) and his domination before dropping out of WCS. That you think the player with all these accomplishments will lose out is completely beyond me. But, if you are right then I'll be the first one to admit you were right all along, but as it stands now based on that there's no way that Naniwa or Duck could make it past ro16 in WCS Korea I'd say your chances of getting this right is more than slim, hell it's minute.

Taeja and Innovation will come out of this group unless Artosis agrees and jinxes everything. They're simply the better players.
