FAntastic! superb job Lichter!

Regarding predictions... Classic and herO sure look good, but I can't see sOs not advancing in a group with 2 other Protosses! (he hasn't lost to a Protoss other than Zest since April)

Great article, however, if Maru's wrists heal a bit before the matches, he goes through ... and the Bag of Tricks with him :-)

Enjoyable read.

My predictions:
herO < Maru
Classic > sOs
Maru < Classic
herO < sOs
sOs < Maru

Classic and Maru advance

Hahaha, this preview is phenomenal, especially as a french, great job Lichter. And I also think herO and Classic will go through.

I grew up on Asterix & Obelix, awesome writing! This made me giggle so much the people at work were thinking the medication for my sore throat had gone to my head :D

Btw, I don't know how but $O$ will make it out of this group somehow.

Maru will prevail though, you'll see!

Superb, I'm canadian but totally got to grow up with Asterix. The album that inspired this: «Asterix and the Roman Agent» was definitly one of the best albums ever written (oh the days when Goscinny did the storylines ... sigh).

This might be the best fan fiction I've possibly read. These names are so good lol.

I think Asterix and Tintin are the most universally read comics in the world - grew up reading them in both South Africa and New Zealand.

I am favouring Multitasticus and Bagoftrix to advance.
Chintastix and Allergictocheesestix will not go through due to Evilchoymix + Show Spoiler +

Choya

and Darkincus + Show Spoiler +

InCa

giving divine blessing to Bagoftrix.
