Just some quick fact checking:

You might want to look up the meaning of words you attempt to use.

You're right, of course there are no facts about the world, since sense perception isn't unmediated. Thanks for getting technical.

Of course the are facts:

A fact is, by a dictionary (Oxford) , since you do not seem able to use one your own:

A thing that is known or proved to be true.

Examples (out of my courtesy):
Water is wet.
Triangle has 3 sides.
Ej_ is a teamliquid.net registered user.

But of course, if you think that me challenging your god-knows-how-obtained notion of
"I have to clarify that zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history. Zerg players making light of late game TvZ is just another example of it."
being a "fact" is the same as invoking the concept of all world experienced being subjective to each person in an attempt to challenge a notion of anything being a fact, then, in my humble opinion, you are not simply ignorant in your ways, but also a genuine fucking idiot and there's no discussion to be had with you anyway.
Good night.

Technically the dictionary has zero authority on the meaning or words or metaphysics, and if you read Kant you'll understand how it is the case that 1) world experience is not purely personal (i.e. different for each person) and 2) sense perception isn't unmediated.

Good midday.
Banned for saying "zerg players are by far the biggest whiners in sc2 history" despite the fact that this forum is full of such posts about Terrans. Foreigner Elitists in control!

looks like a dictionary and kant have a thing in common:
you're not able to use it properly

and if that was not clear enough, look who used the word fact first


B2T:
i like this multiple predictions, apart from beeing pretty entertaining due to some ridiculus ones, a single prediction is always cursed to make you look silly after the tournament, so thumbs up overall

Incredibly biased predictions incoming!

Bracket A: (P)sOs, (P)Dear and (T)Cure to advance!
Bracket B: (P)herO, (P)Trap and (P)ShoWTimE to advance!
Bracket C: (Z)Reynor, (Z)soO and (T)GuMiho to advance!
Bracket D: (P)Stats, (Z)Solar and (Z)Lambo to advance!

Mine gas, build tanks.

Good gravy the sodium content in these comments is high.
Anyways, I enjoyed the write-up and can't wait for the event. Go Scarlett!
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

where Creator was another prodigy who we were certain would grow to dominate along with Life


Uhhh just hearing about Life makes me so sad. Such a great player - ruined by his greed. Shame.

A few of these scenarios are impossible as all 3 players are in thee same half of the upper bracket. Overall though, a pretty good preview. I just hate you for jinxing TIME


havnt read the article yet. just had a quick look at the prediction and that was the first thing come to my mind. i.e. sOs, cure fantasy... for one of those have someone from lower bracket (Dear?) to advance.

Excellent article! Having a separate preview for the Ro76 alone is really top tier.

IEM Katowice confirmed greatest weekender of the year.

But it's a double bracket right?

It's double elimination but only 2 of them can qualify because the 3rd spot is guaranteed to a player on the other side of the winner bracket.

I'm not crazy if I think Creator has a pretty decent shot of making it out of his group, am I? TRUE, Parting, and Reynor are all players he has a passable shot of beating in a best of 3. The loser of soO and GuMiho in the loser's bracket is tougher, but he has the power of Protoss build order victories to give him a chance there.

I mean maybe its possible but Creator has not been a good player in years, I would especially favor soO GuMiho and Reynor every time over him

I cant believe True and Parting are playing in the first round, what fucking luck for the two of them AND they have to probably face Reynor in the next round. Also Mana vs Fantasy should be great, Snute vs Ragnarok should be a good test for Snute and TLO vs aLive can be good if one of them brings the weird which I can see happening.

God this tournament is gonna be epic. These first rounds alone are already super stacked and we're nowhere close to the money rounds.

I wish more tournaments were like this. This is what SC2 tournaments should be like IMO.
