its an exciting time folks. TSL brackets are up. i sat ret down before he went to the pc bang for some practice to get his opinions on it. who will win each match? who will be top 4? how does ret think he will do? who will eventually win the tournament? all is answered.

included at the end i ask ret a bonus question, and his answer makes me wiggly n jiggly.

ret's TSL Bracket predictions

Enjoy!

Aww Ret, no need to be so modest. We all know you're gonna take down Castro, Draco's gonna romp Sen, and you're gonna ZvP/ZvT your way to the finals where you're gonna take down Idra by doing nothing.

Rooting for ya. Now show us something good. =D

(Z)(nl)Ret needs to stop sounding so depressed, and beat the hell out of every zerg he plays.

All there is to it. He should win if he doesn't beat himself mentally.

kind of sucks for him because for courage hes not allowed to race pick and has to zvz. So he has to practice his zvz. And then has to practice his tvz which he hasnt practiced since he decided on going to korea. So its better for him to practice zvz then since hes already practising it. Also tvz is just one of the mus that you get punished for inactivity.

Ret is popular now, if he finds a way to slug his way through the hellacious matchups hes got ahead, hes gonna be even more beloved. Perhaps realizing and admitting that hes not necessarily a favorite to reach the grandfinals will help because it will encourage him to practice his ass off. Though, i dont think practice is really an issue with Ret... i mean the guy is in korea for gosh sakes... but hey, nothing like feeling like you're an underdog to get you motivated to whoop some ass
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got, you know what im sayin? ... stop lookin at what you ain't got ... start bein thankful for what you do got.

I like the confidence and conviction this time around regarding Courage. It's a surprising change from his previous attitudes. Perhaps, with the combination of his experience in the last while and the fact that a ton of pressure is off since he's leaving Korea, he's feeling a lot better.

Good luck, ret! It'd be great if you won and a team tried to pay you to stay or something.

I was expecting better out of ret than barely scraping by a 3-2 for this past round. I don't think he's going to get very far if he keeps it up.

cool interview
Though ret looks really depressed. Korea sure gave him one hell of a time
I dont see him doing well in that last courage with this motivation, but here's to hoping he proves me wrong.

I find the video really depressing hope that ret finishes his studies, gets some good work and comes back to become sc2 bonjwa

I think switching back to TvZ would be a very bad thing to do and considering that he wants to play another courage soon it would be insane..

I mean he can solely train ZvZ for now and even if he has to play a z or p in tsl if he manages to beat castro he has his two ''strong'' / ''loved'' match ups..

Courage tournaments are only worth a damn if you win them. When he wins it he is still leaving Korea so it's a 1/256 chance to win something that doesn't do much for you. I hope he makes all his future decisions based on his chances to win TSL.

actually you are completely right and it indeed makes no sense to put courage over TSL after u are leaving korea anyways..

Was really a little bit feeble-minded there.

So then it boils down to the question how confident ret feels to get his TvZ back in a better shape in a few days than his ZvZ actually is and will be until the 30.01.2010

Ret used to play ZvP, ZvT, TvZ. Can't bulldog a Z..

Also it was probably the best TvZ outside of Korea at one point.

castro cant muta micro at all... im pretty sure i could beat castro in a bo5 lol........ ret will rape him 3-0 easily, and i also think that draco is gonna beat sen, and even if sen wins, westside beat sen 2-0 in a CW, so i think that ret can take out sen and/or draco no problem :D, he is guaranteed to make final 4, but i really have no clue who he will face in semi's ... fenix / koll / brat are all really gosu and can all give him a run for his money ;D

I think vs Castro playing ZvZ might even be better than TvZ. Not saying that rets TvZ is too weak for a player like Castro nowadays but if anything Castro seemed to be a macro player and Im not sure if his muta micro is that good..

Well maybe we're in for a surprise..

Ret will play TvZ .. His match list says he played TvZ the last games and to be honest it would make zero, absolutely zero sense if he practices TvZ now and plays ZvZ then..

So I guess its safe to assume we will see a TvZ ret vs castro match instead of ZvZ which makes me happy =]

Castro will be hard for ret, not that i think that ret aint good enough to beat him, its just that castro has practice like HELL! i think it will be a good serie that's for sure.

nah artosis, ret should stick to zvz now since hes been practising it for a while.

I take my statement back, I think perhaps Ret should go zvz against Castro. Look at his matchlists, his tvz was not so good but his zvz is fairly good. Perhaps just stick with it and practice a TON against Koreans and other zerg players that he knows.
