Kas and Fraer for Ukraine, Titan, Happy and sLivko for Russia are my preferred seed winners.
A shame that so many good players won't get through.
Funny that it's held in Kiev and the Russians get more seeds, more money and more players.
|
k so white-ra,kas,fraer perhaps strelok has the biggest chance of winning this. Maybe Slivko for russia

My prediction will be Fraer for Ukraine and Slivko, TITAN and Happy for Russia

I'm very happy that we have a good distribution of races for this : ) whilst i've enjoyed the last WCSs, there hasn't been too much Terran presence, so it's nice to see that we'll get some good Terran games and perhaps even a TvT! (SHOCK!)

Yes 2 spots for Ukraine is disappointing :|
|
And how about Dimaga? I didn't see him in any of the qualifiers.

Then that's the reason why he won't be at the event.^^
Jokes aside, I don't know why Dimaga didn't even try to qualify.
Brat_OK at least tried in seven or eight qualifiers and failed each time.

DIMAGA has prior arrangements he couldn't miss which conflicted : )

Awesome, this should be a very interesting event. Rotti casting and both fraer and TiTaN to steal builds from.

Brackets are out, I updated Liquipedia, but it isn't approved yet.
Ukraine on goodgame.ru
Russia on goodgame.ru
Looks good for Ukraine, I'm expecting Kas vs fraer in the finals again.
Russian brackets are ridiculously teamkill-heavy, three VP players in the upper half, five RoX.KIS players in the bottom half of the bracket. Overall, the upper half looks a bit easier, the other one is really, really stacked,
|
Gonna be wierd games. No idea.
|
Why is the tournament for Ukraine so small? 8 players, $5k, and only 2 seeds? All those numbers should be at least doubled. Are there just not a lot of Ukrainian starcraft players and is it just some weird anomoly that the ones that do play happen to be really good? Or what is the reasoning here?
Well, for Ukraine I predict 2 of Fraer, Kas, Strelok, and White-Ra are gonna take it, but really all 4 deserve to be at the European Championships. Real shame.
For Russia, I think Slivko will win, and the other two seeds will go to maybe Titan and Happy.
|
Ukraine
1. Kas
2. Fraer
Russia
1. Titan
2. Slivko
3. Happy
At least those are the players I would love to see most at the European WCS!
|
Thankfully these WCS seedings make sense with Kas/fraer and Happy/TitaN both seperated with slivko/Pomi as their likely semi final opponents. I remember seeing Ret-Grubby meet one another before the winner's final.
Surprised that there is no real schedule up yet though; hope they avoid major clashes with MLG Arena, would make for a sick weekend of starcraft.
