Hm.
hmmm........
Yeaaaaaah.
Lucifron.
|
Should be an easy win for Lucifron. Has Spades had any results in 2012?
|
I think you guys discredit Spades too much. Guy's got skill, and it's definitely not going to be easy for Lucifron. Wouldn't be surprised to see Spades take it.
|
Gl to Spades, I hope WW picks up some more players and does more exposure in the VTfuture.
|
Spades has a good chance of winning, glgl

I'll put it this way. If both of these players are at the level they were when I last saw them play, then this will not be a contest. But I haven't seen Spades play in forever and he did beat me once by only rallying marines, so I guess he deserves some slack on my end.

no we dont discredit Spades, its just that Lucifron just 4-0 Thorzain... you know the guy who beat Polt, you know the guy who beat MMA, the guy who beat Mvp :D
its just that they are not on the same level of skill...

I'm not calling it either way, but if Spades wins this I'm going to have a field day with some of the quotes here. You can say a lot of things about Luci, but even in beta, he was and still is never consistent. I have masses of respect for the guy, but I would never bet on the shape of the day he's in.

Seems a strange idea for a show match. Lucifron is miles ahead of him, he should win easily. The only thing that gives me any doubt is the luck involved in mirrors. Maybe if Spades wins a couple of coin flips he'll have a chance.

Still... Spades has never been a very successful player. 32 % winrate in 2012 against players including losses to players like Glon, Roll and Pyre (no offense to these players, but none of them are close to Lucifron's level). Meanwhile, Lucifron has been owning the EU scene for the past few months including a recent 4-0 of Thorzain, who most people consider a top 5 foreigner.
Lucifron seems to be the kind of player that can beat basically anyone by sheer talent. Judging by the level he is playing at right now, I would put few foreigners as a favorite against him.
Lucifron 4-0 imo

Im calling it Lucifron 4-1 with spades taking a lucky game due to build order win or some form of allin. Gogo Lucifron!!

Be that as it may looking at Spades record I feel that the only way for Spades to win it is if he would happen to have a very good day and Lucifron have a bad one.
Looking at Lucifron's record it also appears that his kind of inconsistency is more based around whether he's being active (when he tears through people) and when he's not (when he's being torn apart). Looking at his record from the last 6 weeks he's been doing very well with wins in The Gathering and the Scan Invite #5.
During this time his overall record is only at 65% but his TvT is at 91%. I do realize that 11 games (for the TvT) is a very small sample size but going 10-1 against meRz, BRAT_OK and ThorZaIN does count for something.
Spades' record over 2012 is at 42% overall with a 25% record on TvT. A sample size of 8 games for TvT is even smaller but the caliber of players is different: 2-6 against DieStar, Satiini and Pyre. Having said this though his most recent TvT on record was in late March so he could have improved a lot.
Having said all of this I still stand by my original opinion that Lucifron is quite likely to take this. Not going to commit myself to an exact score but I think 4-1 is the most likely one followed by a 4-0.

Well... this does sound like an easy win for Lucifron in theory...
Gogo Lucifron! 
|
Would like to see Spades win! I haven't seen him much in the scene. =]
