The first two Ro16 groups of IEM Sao Paulo played out in the way many expected, as the Korean trio of  mYi.jjakji, Bomber, and  MC advanced to the quarterfinal round without much hassle.  Liquid`TLO, the most accomplished of the non-Korean players competing on the day, also advanced to the quarter-final round.
 shakti, the sixteen year old Brazilian player from the open bracket, provided the surprise of the day as he took out the American Hellokitty in the losers match of Group B. With the local players seemingly outgunned by the visiting pros, shakti's victory gave the local fans something very much worth cheering for.
IEM Sao Paulo continues on Friday, January 31st with players like Polt, herO, and MajOr competing in the Groups C & D.

Expected, but still nice ! Oh and 3 koreans and TLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !
Yeah, well, that sounds really good but when you look at those who drop, it's not that awesome in fact

The amount of TLO puns from Kaelaris... "The Lovable One, The Laughing One..."
|
Well, it may not be much, but Shakti can be proud of not being last
|
Upset city over at Sao Paulo!

I'll be so happy the day TLO will win a tournament... I think I'll open a bottle of champagne (though the fact that I don't have one could prove to be a problem.)

I really think MC will take this one...he has been training hard and his recent outstanding performance at the Warer thing has boosted his belief from 'lets earn some money bitches' to 'im snatching at least 3 tournement wins this year.'

oh god hellokitty is so freaking horrible, my eyes bleed when i see him play
|
If TLO wins i will return from exile and purchase HOTS.
|
If TLO wins this i will run (and swim) directly to Sao Paolo and eat my shorts
in front of this huge audience ( 10 people?).
To be honest: TLO will face a number one finisher of this group stage so he could play
against the likes of Bomber, MC or Polt (or maybe Major/Bboong). Sorry, but even if i would
love to see him winning - i can`t really see it happening.
