at this stage in the game NO match will be a freewin. You can tell when the first match is Mondragon vs the only protoss (aside from JF/Nony) that could give him a run for his money. Dreiven is on top of his game it seems too. I cant WAIT for that series.
|
if i win this im gonna have to send dreiven a chunk of the prize for eliminating all the terrans for me
now lets just hope jf cheeses the shit out of strelok

I hope Dreiven takes mondi 2-1, i'd love to see the uproar when that happens haha
|
Awesome. Looking forward to watching these at 6 in the morning again. Pretty surprised and pleased with the results so far.

If Dreiven had not gone family BBQing he might have come in as group 1st, thus avoiding this match - I think Dreiven vs. Mondragon in the RO16 it too early, would look better in Semis or so.
edit: And btw, no Terrans nowhere so far? That's quite a sad story.
|
No worries, Strelok's comin, Tarson aswell.

I really hope you win, would be sort of boring to like only have P and Z :/ Gogo Strelok aswell

So the next round is single elimination bo3 ? Somehow I thought there would be another group stage like in the OSL.
|
next round should be double elimination bo3 @ maenander!
very nice, looking forward to weatch the games live!

Therefore it sounded like there would be OSL Style groups where two come out alive each, and only THEN single elimination.

Draco vs Strelok! epic games

This will be one awesome event with those brackets.

Video streams yay~!
Idra vs. White-Ra should be good. One of them better bring their A-game to the table and either one of them could walk away with a win.
Oh man, are we going to have a bracket contest?
|
If White-Ra and Dreiven go out in the first round, I will feel a pain in my heart like that of a father who has lost his firstborn son, but I have a feeling this will happen.

Hard for Dreiven... Dinot dinot go

wow ..
Idra vs White-ra
Strelok vs Draco
that sucks that 2nd round probably going to see Idra vs Draco and one won't be able to advance to semis. T_T!

Should be some damn good games coming out of this.
|
8p 3t 3z I dont like pvp :/ Mondragon have to eliminate them
Im sure there will be a lot of good games
|
A lot of protoss in there, I'm sure Mondragon isn't too unhappy with that.
Cant wait to watch the streams this weekend, with this many games it should make for a full day of watching some (hopefully) great games.
Good luck to Ret in reaching the round of 16 as well.
|
I hope Brat/Strelok/Idra's TvP is good, lol. What's up with foreigners and Protoss?
|
I hope we will see alot of Protoss players failing this first round : )

There are some nice 2nd and 3rd place prizes and I'm surprised that players actually agree on this. Did players know this before ro32? I'm pretty sure some dodging could happen that way.
On the other hand, I'm surprised by maps, these new aren't yet tested for balance issues and can affect the results big time.
But from spectator's point of view, really looking forward for matches, gl hf everyone and get us some ggs.

It's not only foreigners this time around, there are 4 Terrans, 5 Zergs, and 7 Protoss players in OSL Ro16

Mondragon probably a really good way to the finals. I don't think a protoss will beat him..

the match im really looking forward to see, is the one between strelok and draco - now THIS is some epic battle!

I was watching that on the stream and only the last game was not a one sided game, so I do not think that it will be a piece of cake for Paranoid to advance over Kr.

Any info on the schedule for this weekend - times and who plays when? Thanks.

ok, somehow......this discussion is getting odd.....
idra will get rolled over by white_ra (just because from my point of view white_ra is a level ahead of idra) and strelok vs draco will just be awsome to watch!!
|
Upmagic will own the shit out of white-ra
|
I have a feeling idra is getting really pumped up about all the people who does not have faith in him : ) wanting to prove everyone wrong im sure he is praccing like hell with his korean mates : )
|
Well he says his TvP is his best matchup in the estro house and isn't white-ra more known for his PvZ and not his PvT.

As I recall, Idra said that his TvP was the best out of his 3 matchups, not that his TvP was the best in Estro (just checking, sorry if I misunderstood you).

Poor strelok had to play Jf now draco some tough p's in this thing. I think idra will smash white ra but my opinion is pretty biased lol. Looking forward to Mondi vs dreiven and Idra vs White ra

Is this single or double elimination? I can't seem to find the rules anymore.

Sounds like they changed it to a single elimination, bo3 format.

Braavos36362 Posts
We originally planned a "Group Stage" that was Bo1 for the Ro16, but we changed it to bracket Bo3, for many reasons including player preference, scheduling, consistency, map and lag issues, etc.
It was always single elimination.

love the smack talking
Anyone that says anyone at this level is going to get "rolled" is fucking stupid though. Anyone up here can beat anyone. Like I said earlier, if Dreiven vs Mondragon is any indicator it's that no match is a free win. And I say that looking at a Zerg that went 44-1 on the ladder ZvP. White-Ra will be tough and could win sure. But to say he will roll IdrA is essentially saying "Hey I am a moron speculating on shit I have no idea about! Look at me!"
so dont, unless you really are a sadist.

I dunno. Without personal interaction it's hard to give people the benefit of the doubt. Having frequented gg.net/wgt/tl.net for years I can tell you people over generalize or post extreme opinions all the time. I dont think it is an established mentality that these players are on relatively equal playing fields for the general poster. Hence my argument. Be a fan sure but be a respectful / level headed human being when you know these guys are going to read these comments.
Take it for what it is though. Like I said in my original post: if you are ok with being a flamboyant ignoramous than by all means continue (the "you" was preverbial not literal).

Oh my gud. Cant understand it, eiter mondragon or dreiven is out after the first round here. TT. I have to say i am hoping for an upset win by dreiven. He has the most awesome P ever Specially his P-Z i love, but Mondragon is awesome. Will be amazing games i thing. =)

yeah.....basically you are right, but first of all, i dislike idra and like white_ra, so yeah, i simply don't want to analyse this match without being biased! and from my point of view you are a little bit exaggerating, i don't think that even one of the players mentioned even gives a damn shi* about any comment some random guys make here (like me) - and if they do, they really shouldn't :D !

If it's single elimination, I think it should at least be bo5. Bo3 is kind of a very quick exit for all the time they had to put to get there.
|
Aren't all the other rounds Bo5? Why do so many feel they have to critique every detail? Is there one part of TSL that someone hasn't complained about yet? It's just going to be awesome. Sit back and soak it up.

lots of posts on this forum is just showing a general tendency in human nature e.g. we give causes and analyze bo1 or bo3 wins in osl/msl to death, giving many after-the-fact explanations for why it happened, while we probably dont have a clue. somebody got to win a match, but good chance it does not have anything to do with 'bonjwa story' 'osl curse' or other explanations that we like to give : ) humans will be humans, and fans will be fans : ) we like to think we know what we are talking about

Well essentially this is the language of the lower life form known as "retard" they speak a mystic tongue only understandable by those who were born "retarded" or who have studied it.

The quality of the matchup is so good. A lot of the matches can be the TSL's grand final.
ToT)Mondragon( vs MYM.Dreiven Excello.IefNaij vs ToT)ClouD( Draco vs MYM.Strelok White-Ra vs Idra[Media]
Would be nice if both USA players weren't on the same side of the brackets. If Idra plays like how he played in the R1 then it could be a Mondragon vs Idra grand finals. Mondragon could lose to RoX.BRAT_OK since ZvT is the best chance to beat Mondragon. Then we can have a TvT finals against Idra where another Russian wins Teamliquid tourney. Idra's TvP is like a rock, its so solid. Another possible final is Mondragon vs Draco. Draco must be extremely good in pvp given the amount of protoss on TSL ladder & he is ranked #2. There are a few other names I don't follow so it is hard for me to judge the rest.
At this level, almost can anyone can beat anyone. The biggest favorite is Mondragon, the returning warrior is Draco, and the hidden card is Idra.

Mondragon ?? IefNaij NonY ?? Strelok
at that point it'd be too hard to predict, but damn all of these games are ridiculous and i wouldnt be surprised if all of my predictions were wrong

my predictions:
Mons0r!! > Dreiven (pretty sure) Bratok < Haypro (don't have a clue) Iefnaij > Cloud (pretty sure) Dinot > Rondo (pretty sure) Kr < Gosia (really depends on paras form that day) ret < Nony (pretty sure) Draco > Strelok (after watching streloks games vs Iefnaij, i don't believe anymore that he can beat Draco) White_ra > Idra (just out of sympathi.....else i would say "=")
and i predict a Mons0r vs Nony or Draco final!
|
Is it just me or does the right side of the brackets look slightly tougher then the left side? Hoping for Idra vs Mondragon in the finals

Mondragon > Brat_OK IefNaij > Dinot Ret > Gosi Draco > Idra
Mondragon > IefNaij Ret > Draco
Ret > Mondragon
Well, someone has to predict a Mondragon loss.
|
there is only a small chance for dissy to overcome dreiven and thats because of his race but i think the skillgap is far to big so 2-0 for dreiven
|
would have been nice with a bo1 loser bracket
|
Mondragon < Dreiven (Want dreiven to win he have played so awesome) Brat_OK > Haypro (Want haypro to win but think brat will take this) IefNaij > Cloud Dinot > Rondo (The most intresting in my mind after dreiven vs mondi. Both are pretty unknown and can go far in this tour) Gosia > KR Ret < Nony Draco > Strelok (Could go both ways) Idra < White-Ra (Could go both ways)
|
The way all the ToT guys are all so modest/underrating of themselves and their teammates in interviews is just so different. Does anyone else ever get a mental image of Mondragon beating them all with sticks in back rooms until they conform to his interview standards, or is that just a product of my diseased and fermented imagination?
As for predictions, I'm going with IdrA > Mondragon finals. Although I'd rather see NonY win. NonY fighting!

It's going to be boring as hell when the TSL ends.
I hope we get an unexpected winner, that would be amazing

mondragon vs idra in final

United States20661 Posts
I like the ToT guys, they let their actions speak for themselves.
Plus Mondragon is a sexy beast.
I'd like something along these lines -
Mondragon > Dreiven Brat_OK > Haypro IefNaij < Cloud Dinot < Rondo Gosia > KR Ret < Nony Draco > Strelok Idra < White-Ra
Mondragon > Brat_OK Cloud > Rondo Gosia > Nony Draco > White-Ra
Mondragon > Cloud Draco > Gosia
Draco < Mondragon
|
I say jf and moundragon are the two containders for this
|
My bracket:
Mondi will probably win this, but I just Can't get enough of Nony's play. And he sounded awesomely awesome on TL-Attack.
|
With Mondi winning in the end. I would really like a Ret vs Mondi final but i don't see ret getting past nony.
|
Cant wait! Just joined up TL and as a fan of Starcraft, Ill be watching! Cannot wait. I am a fan of the Intel Classic w/ English so cant wait for this!

semifinals
Mondragon > IefNaij NonY < IdraIdra
finals
Mondragon > Idra
TvZ is the best chance to beat Mondragon, but Mondragon is just too good to lose without a fight. In his replay pack, he beat a good maphacker Terran several times. Mondragon can take this with nonconvential builds and may throw off Idra's timing.

But what do I know...
|
mondragons going to take the whole thing he knows it we know it =p but i actually want draco to win it ^_^
|
Go Idra, for the pride of war!
|
really hard to predict anything´, i try nevertheless: mondi > dreiven (2/0) brat > haypro (2/0) lefnaij > cloud (2/1) but i dont count cloud out he could suprise dino > rondo 2/0 kr < gosia 1/2 ret < nony (0/2) draco < strelok (1/2) Ra < Idra (0/2) if idra does not fuck up somehow
mondi > brat jf > dino nony > gosia strelok > idra (yes pls xD)
mondi > jf (cant tell who will win but hope for mondi, two best players atm imo..) nony > strelok
finals nony vs mondi which mondi should win.
|
gogo Draco, I miss the time when you were trampling over any foreign terran
|
mondi > dreiven 2-1 brat > haypro 2-0 Iefnij > cloud 2-0 dinot > rondo 2-1 kr < gosia 1-2 ret < nony 1-2 draco > strelok 2-1 whitera > idra 2-1

As for predictions, I'm going with IdrA > Mondragon finals. Although I'd rather see NonY win. NonY fighting! As far as I've seen in the last months since I joined ToT we just don't like arrogant people. And we aren't "faking" humilty as many say, most of the times we just recognize that our opponent are very good and so if we are not sure to win we don't say so. It's not like Mondragon wants us to behave in some particular way (or well let's just say he doesn't pretend ANYTHING from his players, he's one of the most awesome clan leaders I've had), he just doesn't want us to insult people randomly or troll in the forums making useless flames towards other players.
|
My fortuneteller mind told me that mondragon will lose to dreiven.
I hope it was the bad side of my brain.
|
Lol i'm leading TSL-liquibet and I don't know shit about these players... This is going to mess it up since I just betted on the highest ranked players until now when it's all down to the very best (I can't believe no one else did).

hann00b, in a past life, i believe you were a roman centurion who stood guard over jesus in his final hours on the cross. but being the perverted, ugly and insociable creature you were, you had an unsatisfied sexual impulse that evolved into a most vile thing. you removed the spike from jesus's palm, inserted your penis, and handjob-raped him until climax. the bible got it wrong. jesus did not heave a final sigh before he died. in fact that was you reaching climax and jesus died at the same time, as he could take life no more. the bible got it wrong even further, as it was not a miracle that jesus rose from his tomb 3 days later, but rather the miracle was your miraculous strength to move the stone enclosure, so that you could fuck his corpse.
hann00b, you are a jesus fucker. mother fuckers, assholes and cunts bow to your sick existence.

lawl i really hope nony is going to make it to the finals vs mondragon, already looking forward to the comments afterwards. gimme more of that "uh i had a bad day would have pwned that nazi noob otherwise, besides i'm on my period, broke up with my boyfriend while playing and my right hand hurts because i jerked off 20 times while rolling 100 cigarettes and stayign on 450 apm of course. oh yeah and i did say 'gg' 2 weeks ago that should suffice for this month so stop telling i'm bm, noobs".
by the way ukraine is indeed a part of europe but i've heard from a certain miss west carolina there's a huge lack of maps in the usa so i guess i can't blame anyone.

what itll probably look like (barring an upsets) is

basically, brat, dinot, or gosia needs to win to keep this from being a pure PvP-fest
