Starcraft will be on Sunday and Monday.

The live streamed games (Korean commentary) will be on Playple (OGN's Internet Channel).
The two events streamed will be
Sunday: 16:30-18:00 StarCraft Round of 4 and
Monday: 16:00-18:00 StarCraft Grand Final.

The link to watch Playple (I think) is mms://liveongame.gscdn.com/L2 (not sure if it still works though).

Any other details, please post in here.

na, its a joke. i actually really hope idra wins.

but to be honest. i dont see tossgirl putting up much of a fight, and i think idra can take super fairly easily. id say it will come down to idra and white ra

Super has Really decent TvT. he is scary back in the 2003-05 i remember he took a game from (T)BoxeR back in the day when he wasn't in the airforce.

hopefully Super take a international title!

I'm hoping it's Round Robin, and by everything I've heard thus far, it is.

If so, I predict:
(T)IdrA < [image loading] Super
[image loading] Super > (T)ToSsGirL
(T)ToSsGirL < (P)(ua)White-Ra
(P)(ua)White-Ra < (T)IdrA
(T)IdrA > (T)ToSsGirL
(P)(ua)White-Ra > [image loading] Super

Haha, I love how Savior is just way too bad ass for this.



I'm rooting for Tossgirl, she needs to defend her Korean honor.

White-Ra is pretty much THE best foreigner protoss ever sooo yea! Not counting the old-timers like Grrr... and Leg who were pro-gamers. Super is definitely one of the top 3 Chinese Terrans if not #1 right? And ToSsGirL... well yea she's probably a newbie lol. Although shes' probably around IdrA's level, maybe a little worse but I Really have no clue.

It's hard to predict because it'll be almost all TvT and I don't know much about the specific strength of each player in that match-up.

My guesses are:
White-Ra>Super
White-Ra>IdrA
White-Ra>ToSsGirL
IdrA>ToSsGirL
Super>IdrA

I think thats a fair prediction given everyones opinions of tossgirl. Supers TvP has looked good lately but Whitera would be the favorite, and Idras current level of TvP should make him the favorite vs Ra. But you never know tossgirl might suprise everyone.

People are idiot's.
Any of you remember Tossgirl vs ToT)ClouD(?
Tossgirl is NOT a pushover, she's still ahead of the vast majority of foreigners.
And is probably just as strong as Super/IdrA/White-Ra, if not stronger overall.
I expect Tossgirl and White-Ra to do well.
Although I do love IdrA, his play fails vs White-Ra's style.

And Super is just boring. lol

Was that some kind of strange poem? And Tossgirl used some tricky dropship build vs Cloud where she let him scout 1 scv on gas or something, not that it takes away from her win, but that isnt really an indicator of much especially vs a group where its 2 terrans, and its a series so something like that would likely only work once. She is better than most give credit for, but thats not saying very much.I dunno how you really make an argument for her being strong overall, I mean she plays well sometimes, like taking a game off effort but playing terribly vs like keke and upmagic, I dont recall seeing her play any real TvTs, Basically make any real assumption about her play other than that which is based on what we have seen is tough. Tough being a female progamer, I guess.. Anyways like I said this should be interesting.

IdrA > Super
ToSsGirL > Super
ToSsGirL > White-Ra
White-Ra > IdrA
IdrA < ToSsGirL
White-Ra > Super

TvT is supposed to be Idra's weakest matchup, so I doubt he can take Tossgirl (consistently, obviously any of these players have the potential to take games off the others here and there). White-Ra knows how to beat IdrA, Super might not. If Tossgirl drops a game I'd expect it to be to White-Ra, but still give her a small edge over him probably. She'll be defending Korea's honor here and doesn't have a whole lot else to prepare for, so I'd expect her to be in pretty good shape for this.

Edit: As for Tossgirl being weak: against A-teamers, sure. She's against 1 B-team player and 2 top foreigners. Against that level of player, she's still extremely strong.

For the record, Super is a TvT beast, so I only see him maybe losing to White-Ra tbh. IdrA's TvP is good and I think he's better than ToSsGirL. White-Ra's good enough to beat out both ToSsGirL and Super, but I don't see ToSsGirL doing better than 1-2.

BTW, has anyone confirmed if this is actually round robin?

Ya I am geting spoiled off all these English dubs of VODs lately. A few years ago I could watch VODs in korean no problem. Now I just wish I could hear english commentating on every VOD.
