Nemu will beat everyone in his group.

Nemu versus Horror (60% - 40%)
Nemu in his current shape can take out Horror without any doubt. It's just people got no idea how good Nemu really is and got no idea of his level of play.

Nemu versus KenZy (70% - 30%)
Nemu will beat him easily. KenZy is a player who relys a lot on surprises and when he fails in his first attack hes dead.

Nemu versus NonY (70% - 30%)
NonY was in Korea for some months? He have played with professional players and have learnt a thing or two. Yeah but who cares? He is currently a washed up player who isnt taking this game seriously anymore and is only coming back for TSL. Who is Nemu? A guy who can trash every foreigner protoss out there. He have beaten recently people like White-Ra fairly easy so facts speak enough.

Nemu versus IdrA (25% - 75%)
IdrA is the favourite but as every favourite he is beatable. I dont like using words as impossible but Nemus chances of taking out IdrA in a bo5 are very low. Still he can win at least one game and not lose with a zero score.

*thoughts*
NonY got no chance in beating IdrA at the moment. It's pretty obvious to me that NonY will have to play a bo5 with the player who passes first two rounds. If Nemu passes Horror (who is the biggest threat in my eyes) he is gonna win the group.

Technics versus Incontrol ( 60% - 40%)

Lets say i know how good can Technics perform and how good Incontrol actualy is. Incontrol have never been a top player just a good player who can win most people (not everyone) Technics shows some level of activity last few months so hes the favourite in my eyes.

Technics versus Shaman ( 60% - 40%)

Shaman is overrated. Its really nessasery to state that first. Im not saying Technics is something special but hes one level above Shaman.

Technics versus Mondragon (30% - 70%)
It's Mondragon. Still its a ZvZ and Technics can win only by having a better bo so he have some chances.

*thoughts*
Technics will lose to Mondragon in round 3.



LorDo versus IdrA (99% - 1%)
IdrA is a korean progamer, so he is bound to be pretty good. However I have played many games with LorDo, he is good. He actually held on to D last season. Therefore I think IdrA has no shot. He might win one game with cheese, no more. It's not an impossible scenario for IdrA but LorDo is so underrated.

My girlfriend versus IdrA (50% - 50%)
My girlfriend has seen me play many times, I have even explained about the three races. But as stated before IdrA is no scrub. He definitely has a chance. His macro is good. My GF is bound to have at least 30 apm when trying hard, plus she's a good cook (very useful talent toi have) So she should have a fair chance!

I'll be surprised if the final contains any players not listed below:

(P)(ca)IefNaij
(P)(pl)Draco
(T)(ru)BRAT_OK
(T)(us)IdrA

(P)(us)NonY (Z)(bg)NeMu
(T)(se)MorroW (Z)(de)Kolll
(P)(pl)MaNa (Z)(pe)CaStrO
(T)(ua)Strelok
(P)(ua)White-Ra
(Z)(nl)Ret (P)(it)ClouD
(T)(pe)Fenix (P)(pl)Dreiven
(Z)(hu)Sziky (T)(pl)Tarson
(Z)(ca)XiaOzI (P)(lt)Arew
(Z)(de)Mondragon
(Z)(tw)SEn
(T)(mx)GosI[Terran] (Z)(se)HayprO

Players I wish had easier groups:
(Z)(no)Liquid`Drone
(P)(us)G5
(Z)(se)Naugrim
(P)(ca)TT1
(T)(us)Nyoken
(P)(de)iNfeRnaL

I'm probably not putting enough zergs in the final 16 based on recent performances, but then again foreign tournaments never follow trends.

Also, i think you should grant Ret a Bo7 in his game, it would be soooo horrible if he got a ZvZ and lost due to BO-disadvantage

that is the price you pay for defilers

I feel bad for morrow, he put in so much effort to get 1st and then ends up with some of the toughest opponents. On the other hand, octzerg has a pretty clear Achilles heel.

In the case that hardcore korean dodging and playing people 2 ranks below your own rank equals putting in a lot of effort, I believe that you are absolutely correct. It's amazing how the definition of effort seems to vary quite a bit.

isn't there some saying that Time = Effort? Not to mention how much you are shortchanging Mamon.

Sending streams of lings 800 games in a row requires little to no physical or mental energy.

Well he cheesed like every game in the early stages and afterwards played a Korean just about every 50th game in the later levels, and in his A-rank he mostly played against B+ players and some A- foreigners. As I said, if that's your definition of effort, be my guest. I have a different definition.

EDIT: In the case you're wondering, White-Ra is an example of what I mean by having put "so much effort", as you put it.

white ra definitely put a lot of effort! He reached the top and continued to play koreans and even dropped considerably but fought back and got back up there.

1. We wanted to have time to advertise, and for the players to have time to practice
2. We didn't want to organize/work and have the players play during Christmas and New Years
