Wow, what could that mean?
Foreigner Bias, EU ZvZ > KR ZvZ, Deep Runs from the German trio, #TerranMaps, Serral still wins it. This is defnatly not a serious atempt to win anything and pretty unrealistic, but one can dream :D
okay now I realized this kind of bracket is indeed a bit stupid. You win your first match and lose your second match and start again in the first round of LB? Your win counts for absolut nothing

Nice prediction Parting 3 - 31 soO and Parting still winning
Maybe foreigners are doing a bit too good in my bracket, but they looked really good in the online cups and i like the matchups in my bracket. Hope i didnt make any mistakes in the losers bracket.

People make mistakes :-)
Typos obviously happen and as I expect the results will be machine checked to some degree, it may be important, that Harris fixes that. So just tried to be helpfull in a fun way, wasn r meant mean in any way
And looking at the other predictions so far, it seems like my work is pretty conservative with the expected succes of the foreigners.
So far it seems like Inno and Serral are the clear favorits this far Almost no one dared to place either of them below Top 4 up to now And where are our beloved GSL- Elitist, to predict a Korean only top 6?

Without Dakr, Maru and Rogue? (although the last one seems sleeping from IEM)

Inno, TY, Trap, soO, Zest, Cure and Solar are still there Go ahead and build your breaket with that. The entries so far are way to optimistic in regards to foreigner performance, give us a Kr heavy one to spice it up allready

oh, really? Solar ended last in his RO16 group. soO looked like he didn't even try while ending last, looked horrible. So we're left with Inno, TY, Zest and CUre. Trap didn't looked any impressive either in his group.
Go ahead, make your predictions these players will make RO6, I wouldn't do it based on what I saw. I can see 4 players capable of getting high, so having 6 players at the top would mean soO at least tries and Solar or Trap get better.
Edit> also it's not offline, is it? so connectivity fuck ups.

Just take a look on some of the predictions in this forum and tell me those are more accurate in YOUR opinion then. Common, I just try to tease you into taking part in this, it only takes a couple of minutes Can t those Titans of Code S realy don t swipe the floor with some pesky foreigners? And if they do so, don t you want to be the one, who can say, 'I told you so?' Jump on it, make some predictions and don t take me to serious here, I m having way to much fun with this conversation thus far Also look at my predictions earlier in this thread, if you want. I think I ve got quite a good mix between Foreigner Hopes and GSL realism.

i'mnot gonna join and i call nonsense on having 6 koreans at the top while they miss the best players there. Maybe Zest & Inno can pass as the best, dependng on their form.
Edit> so it's trolling. Anyway, i'm not korean elitist no matter what some stupid people say. I just called the 6 Koreans 0 foreigner at the top with this lineup online.

Well not trolling per se, as I realy would like to see some very different predictions here. Also I m kind of competitive even (or especially in these not-realy-competitions) and realy enjoy for example Liquibets as well. This one is obviously very different and I was honestly suprised that this far from all entries posted I was one of the least optimistic about the foreigners here. So I thought I try to get some more people in here. For 1 having bigger "competition" and more people to compare yourselve to afterwards, and 2 more variety in the made predictions.
okay now I realized this kind of bracket is indeed a bit stupid. You win your first match and lose your second match and start again in the first round of LB? Your win counts for absolut nothing
Nice prediction Parting 3 - 31 soO and Parting still winning
Ye Parting wins the Bo5 but then they extend it to a Bo61 and soO wins every game
I'm actually impressed if that was my only mistake ^^

Why not do a quick Bo69 ala Harstem - Elazer instead?

EU ZvZ clearly > KR ZvZ except Dark, Dark probably on par with Serral I'd say.
If Innovation somehow gets smashed in GSL tonight it feels like there will be a lot of second-thoughts or last minute updates, which adds an interesting dynamic to this.
looking at it now I have way too much of a Terran bias lol, I'm sure I will be completely wrong
Every match result is plausible yet it coming together like that seems impossible.
yeah that's exactly how I felt when I looked at the whole thing, it will be funny to see how wrong I am haha realistically Serral is probably most favored to win but what's the point in predicting that when everyone else is going to do it
Wondering what would be the result if one would 100% follow Aligulacs predictions ... If anyone would be Willingen to put the time in, I m realy curious, how good Aligulac would fare against all us biased Fans..
Clem messed up my bracket. He will win vs DRG and then he will leave the tourney, so DRG can move on and move on to the losers bracket, to later then enter the loser bracket twice ... Liquipedia is hard.
I love a good bracket contest but I wish it was posted sooner as I wasn't able to find the time to do it since it seems like it takes a bit to figure out.
Two of the players I predicted to face each other in round 4 are already in the losers bracket. One of them I predicted would make it to the winners bracket finals. Whoops.

yes )) but i predicted a 3-2 for thermy^^ i generally was a little reluctant to predict 3:0's, so scorewise Trap 3-2 TY might remain my only correct prediction for a while :D

sounds like a lot of bracket prediction contests in a lot of sports
