Pre-TSL it was Drone who told me Sziky is one of the best players around and certainly one of the most underrated. Might have been faith that brought them together.

edit: I just realized how epic OctZerg vs Idra would be haha.

Maybe, Naz.

And those are some sick matchups indeed. Hoping we get to see Dreiven vs. Mondi in the actual TSL again, that was an epic matchup last year.

+ Show Spoiler [Group Projections as of 4:30 EST] +

Note that I put these together myself in free time. TSL isn't endorsing them, and haven't released the actual selection process for groups. However, I would assume ladder ranks were used, and made a guess that the IdrA/NonY group would look like: #25 v #48, W v #24, W v #1. Again, not official, and if TSL wants me to remove it, let me know. I just thought it might be fun to see what potential matchups we could have.

Group 1 - Round 1: HoRRoR vs. Gosudark, R2: OctZerg, R3: IdrA/NonY
Group 2 - Round 1: CaStrO vs. datoby, R2: Kr, R3: mOrrow
Group 3 - Round 1: kolll vs. CloseR,R2: TT1, R3: MaNa
Group 4 - Round 1: Avi-Love vs. JuanJo, R2: FlaF, R3: Strelok
Group 5 - Round 1: iNcontroL vs. G5, R2: KenZy, R3: White-Ra
Group 6 - Round 1: iNfeRnaL vs. Gamtja, R2: fraer, R3: Ret
Group 7 - Round 1: Drone vs. MikOeL, R2: Shaman, R3: Sziky
Group 8 - Round 1: ClouD vs. TechnicS, R2: KiLLeR, R3: kogeT
Group 9 - Round 1: Nyoken vs. GhosTa, R2: Yan, R3: Mondragon
Group 10 - Round 1: KawaiiRice vs. Dreiven, R2: Casper, R3: SEn
Group 11 - Round 1: Arew vs. Sawyer, R2: Tarson, R3: Terran
Group 12 - Round 1: Marwin vs. XiaOzI, R2: Hayder, R3: Fenix

Thanks for that!

If this is the way it turns out, I'm very excited for some of these match-ups! Especially...

Group 11
[image loading]

Arew v.

Sawyer
Winner #1 v. [image loading]

iG.Tarson
Winner #2 v. [image loading]

Terran
+ Show Spoiler +

I'd say only Sawyer is the only one who couldn't win this group. The other three are very strong.

and

Group 12

Marwin v.

Hayder

Fenix

I know nothing about Marwin, but the two zergs and Fenix are all really amazing.

Look like the groups of death...

And then we have some potential Round #3 MU's...
Group #1:

Octzerg v. [image loading]

IdrA[ma]
Group #3: [image loading]

kolll v.

MaNa
Group #5: [image loading]

G5 v.

White-Ra
Group #7: [image loading]

Liquid.Drone v.

Sziky
Group #8: [image loading]

ClouD v.

But that's just on paper. The games should be something else..

o noo, with that qualifier its possible that all 6 germans get kicked out before ro16

koll : closer->1 german out, and then mana, arg, makes me afraid.
nyoken : ghosta ->if nyoken advances ghosta is out and nyo could very well kick mondi too

infernal : ret. meeeh, infernal is a pvz beast, but ret, phew :/
horror would have to face idra, little hope there.
ugly situation from a german point of view.

I might be wrong but something is not working properly when i look at the standings ?
Kolll played his last game until the time limit so did hayder but kolll appears to have 10k points on iccup but only 9k on tl.net standings.. whilst hayders standings are the same on both..

I dont get this.. someone can explain me ?

Or did I just overlook something..

The standings in this thread are not updated anymore (and actually stopped being updated slightly before the ladder deadline), don't look at the numbers for anything other than vague orientation.

We are still working on the official final standings (searching for more potential abusers, deducting points from games started after the deadline, deducting points from series that went further than to a three game advantage, etc).

Those are playoff worthy matchups. It's a shame some of them would be knocked out so early.

Will point deductions be publicized? Or will they just be done and final standings released?

We'll publicize them with a post but it isn't exactly interesting. It's just some standard stuff. But it's good that people can know exactly what happened to the points if they want to.

Sweet. I just like following all the changes and having ideas of who will be where. It's an odd hobby, I'll admit.

Horror would play idra only if idra loses to nony right? I mean, I love nony, he was one of my favorite players before he went inactive, but chances are he's not going to win that matchup (prove statistics wrong please nony!), meaning horror would face nony.
