With Drone defeating Fisheye in the tie breaker for Group C we have these 8 finalists:
Group 1: Nazgul Beast Rekrul Ovvi
Group 2: Elky Kiwi Drone Willet
The way this liquibet works is you choose whom you think will advance from each group. Each correct guess will earn you 2 points. Then, once we have the 2 finalists, you will have atleast 1 day to choose the winner. A correct choice there will earn you 3 points. Lets meet the candidates
Group 1:
Nazgul - The Dashing Dutchman / Protoss / Took home 1st place in the first TL.net Tournament, made top 8 at WCG twice, and made it into the OGN Challenge League. If you don't choose him you're fucking crazy.
Beast - The Brazen Bulgarian / Terran / Showed his might by going 4-1 in the first round and also made it to WCG 2002 in which he beat Elky.
Rekrul - The Adamant American / Protoss / Failed at WCG USA (4th place), placed 1st in the USA's Nation Team qualifiers (14-1), and is America's last hope in this tournament.
Ovvi - The Finnish Phantasm / Zerg / Relatively unknown until recently when he dominated and won the last WGT Season and walked all over his group 3-0 in the first round of this tournament.
Group 2:
Elky - The Facile Frenchman / Terran / Probably the most accomplished white SC player ever besides Giyom. Most likely the 3rd best Terran in the world currently. Once again...if you don't choose this guy, you're fucking crazy.
Kiwi - The Cogent Canadian / Zerg / Placed 2nd at the first Trybal tournament and is the best Zerg player in North America. He bulldozed through the first round of this tournament with an impressive 5-0 (the only person to do that in the entire tournament).
Drone - The Narcotic Norwegian / Random / While some only think of him as an observant connoisseur of the game these days, he showed that he still has latent skill and could be one of the best again if he tried. The God of island maps. Has a queen fetish.
Willet - The Swedish Sage / Protoss / While relatively new to the BW scene, he plays like a seasoned veteran. He has shown in WGT (2nd place) and various other events that he is now one of the top players in the 2nd best BW country. All the people who said he deserved a spot in this tournament were right.
I don’t know if this will help you much in your choosing but this is the order in which the matches will be played. Also listed is the map for the first game of each series.
