Liquid 3-1
 Zenio > Shuffle
ZvZ is a pretty anybody-can-win sort of match-up, but not when one of those players is Zenio. He has some of the best ZvZ in the world and I don't see Shuffle standing much of a chance. That being said, since it is ZvZ Bo1 anything could happen, but let's be honest, it probably won't. I think Tal'Darim Altar is so big of a map that it's harder for cheeses to work, and I don't see how Shuffle can stand much of a chance against a S-Class ZvZer like Zenio.
 LiquidHerO > Agh
Once again, even if PvP is a match-up that produces more build order wins than other match-ups, it is also highly reliant on the micro of the player. Agh is going to need to get lucky to beat HerO.
TLO < SaSe
I think that from QxG's standpoint, it would have been best to get SaSe matched up against either Ret or one of the Koreans, because he's the one with the best shot, and then they might be able to win it 3-2 with an ace match. TLO is the weakest player that Liquid is sending out, but he's still pretty good. I don't think that with him switching races and SaSe being such a baller that he has a great chance, but TLO's wacky style might favor the Bo1 setting. Regardless, SaSe is a beast, and should be able to beat TLO.
Ret >  theognis
Ret is one of the best foreigners, but he certainly has his weak points. theognis's best chance will certainly be cheesing or dispatching Ret early game, but after Ret starts rolling I don't see theognis being able to stop him.
If it gets to the ace match (which is always a possibility with the Bo1 format) then I figure Zenio vs SaSe with Zenio winning it. I would assume that Liquid knows that QxG will use SaSe and rather then risking a PvP, Zenio (who just crushed NaNiwa at IEM) can beat SaSe in a ZvP.

I think 3:1 for Liquid
Zenio > Shuffle
HerO > Agh
TLO < Sase
Ret > theognis
|
With Nani not there, Liquid most likely will win this 3:1 (Sase winning for Quantic).
|
its gonna go to ace match imo, so it depends on who they put out for that
|
Will these games be played tonight? Because if so Zenio and HerO will also have a huge advantage over SaSe (in the event of an ace match) due to the fact that they're in Europe. Even if they play on a neutral server, the lag to Korea will definitely hurt SaSe.
|
Yeah, not seeing Quantic winning this.. Unless they can bring it to the ace match.. 3:1 Liquid
|
No Destiny or Naniwa in the starting lineup? Hmm maybe they were busy or something  ... Seems like 3-1 Liquid is the safe bet based off lineups.
|
If this was all-kill format Quantic would win EZ

Probably because destiny would get owned against that lineup

I see what you did there >.>
Interesting matches, guess NaNi was busy with something, Quantic needs to get wins early otherwise it'll end up tied or go in favor of liquid, should be good matches though

Replays, so I think they played before going to Europe.
3-1 for liquid is the easiest call but Agh can surprise and ZvZ could be decided by a good baneling hit so could possibly go to an Ace match. Remember Reign vs FXO yesterday, ya surprises happen.
|
Wow, Quantic really brought out their b-lineup to this match. SaSe might win but otherwise it looks like a convincing victory for Liquid.

Xeris your thread maker guy needs to get on the ball, that's not even the right Quantic Logo. :D
