Kiwikaki is what nationality now?
|
i see FXO taking this 3-0 or 3-1 tbh.
|
This is not even fair. FXO is vastly favored. Maybe if Inori was matched up against Oz, he might be able to snipe him.
|
Those Koreans are way too good. 3-0 FXO.

Copy-paste fail. Should be fixed now (Also, fixed Kiwi being swedish xD)

Huh... Kiwikaki isn't Sweden, he's canadian 
|
reign just outmatched... suprised if they can take this to ace.
|
slush has a good chance against oz. it's been too long since I have seen kiwikaki play but i think he can beat just about any one when he's playing his best. artist should be able to beat lucky. inori vs leenock is the only one i'd be absolutely shocked if reign won all the others i believe reign atleast has a chance.
|
The FXO Four? Jesus, this sounds like a slaughter. @.@
|
I think Artist can take Lucky and Kiwikaki maybe Gumiho, but we will have to see. I just hope it isn't a 4-0 for FXO.
|
Doesn't look good for Reign. They should be happy if they can take a match down. But cheese might happen and stuff so never count them out completely.

Eh Reign could win this but it would very much be an upset in each match.......

damn, would've liked to see choya or some other less-well known FXO players to pay. they should steamroll this no problem, unless sleepiness/lag is a problem ahah
|
Inori vs his former team, cool :D
I think Artist beats Lucky but that's it for Reign I'm afraid.
|
I don't think i like seeing their whole lineups right away :[

Artist and Inori are going to really have to carry this team against FXO, as I think they're the only players who might even stand a chance. If they could have gotten Artist against GuMiho and Inori against a non-Leenock player they would have been a lot better off, but as it stands I think they wound up with possibly the worst drawing possible. Lucky's ZvT against Mvp in the recent GSL has made me a firm believer in his talents, and Leenock is Leenock.
I don't know that anybody in the NASTL has a solid chance at beating Leenock because he's that good and there aren't a whole lot of players in the world who I would honestly say are favored at beating him; but that being said, his stats in Korea would make me think that ZvP is his worst match-up. But at MLG his play against NaNiwa, HuK, and Oz all was really amazing (I'm not sure who else he played) and I don't think that Inori is as good as those three. Then again Inori (to the best of my knowledge and from what I've seen of him) has a very macro-oriented style, which most Protosses--especially Koreans--don't have). He may just be able to beat Leenock, but that's only if ReIGN can survive the first three matches.
FXOz is good at everything he does, and SLush is French Canadian. The only real shot that SLush has is pulling out one of his wacky-strats that Oz has probably never seen before because it's that wacky that it will probably never get played on the Korean server. SLush is good, but he's not FXOz good.
GuMiho has some of the sickest TvP's in the world, and while there is no chance of him losing a Bo3 or more against KiWi, KiWi (and SLush as well, I suppose) have the advantage that it's a Bo1. Once again KiWi might have some ridiculous timing up his sleeve that GuMiho has never seen before; that being said, I really doubt that KiWi will be able to take down a vP powerhouse like GuMiho.
Lucky's ZvT is ridiculously good, and while Artist is good, he's not as good as Lucky. I know that I personally was one of the people who bashed Lucky for a while (it probably has to do with the fact that he kept knocking out foreigners from Code A ^^; ), but after his matches against Mvp I'm convinced that he is not only a good player, but he's a Code S caliber player. Artist on the other hand is still a good player, but he's not at the level that Lucky is at. That being said, anybody who take a gander at his recent TvZ (or his TvZ in general) would see that he's a monster at that match-up. He's won his last 10 games against a pretty solid line-up (including DIMAGA and sLivko), but I actually think that I'm more impressed by the way Lucky played against Mvp in his recent Code S games. Yes, he lost, but that second Bo3 he played against Mvp (not the first one, that was actually brutal how badly he got thrashed) was absolutely amazing. This is ReIGN's best shot at winning a match, but it would have been better if they could have gotten Artist matched up against GuMiho or even FXOz.
Or, if Artist manages to beat Lucky/a French Canadian catches their opponent by surprise:
EDIT: Also, why on earth would ReIGN send out SLush on Tal'Darim Altar? It can probably be suspected that a Protoss is going to be going out there on that map, and ZvP on Tal'Darim Altar is a nightmare. No good third (depending on the spawn, if the Zerg spawns clockwise to the Protoss they'll have a decent third, but it still isn't favorable). I feel like sending out a Protoss on Tal'Darim Altar is just the best choice, and it would have been especially nice to see Inori go out there. His PvP is absolutely amazing, and if you're going to try to get him matched against a Protoss that's the best shot.
