White-Ra (somehow) seems to always take out TLO, and he can pull something weird out for a BO3 win against stephano. Socke is the kind of player that can dissapoint for a while and then suddenly come in and take out everyone, I think this tournament will be like that, especially because this format reminds me of the SHOUTcraft invitational which Socke has won twice in a row now.
Mmh. White-Ra vs Stephano, if it happens, will be BO5 so I really don't see White-Ra taking it. I think Stephano should win the whole thing

I hope TLO commentates

People underestimate Kas when he is actually a beast. If you watched EG Masters cup you know what im talking about. So if Stephano beats Grubby ( who got exponentally better lately ) i predict a Stephano vs Kas finals .
Not long ago Stephano 3 - 0 Nerchio in MSI pro cup finals and Ret has a pretty bad ZvZ so i think only Kas has a real shot at Stephano.
|
Everybody seems to forget Kas on pronostic? He is just number 1 on the EU ladder....
Semi finals : Kas - Nerchio Stephano - TLO
Final : Kas - Stephano
Winner : Kas the lonely terran, he will handle stress this time I hope
|
TLO fighting!
Also, nice "Battlefield 3-esque" teaser :D

Every tournament has it's upsets, I expect this tournament to have one aswell.
I think Stephano will have one of his toughest matches this year, against Grubby. I believe you can consider Stephano, Dimaga and Nerchio the three best Europeans zerg, if not the best foreign Zergs at the moment(along with Idra). Grubby has been winning matches against Nerchio and recently won from Dimaga by 3-0. Therefore expecting a 2-1 win for Grubby.
Prediction:
Nerchio > Socke Ret > Kas Grubby > Stephano White-Ra > TLO
Grubby > White-Ra Nerchio > Ret
Grubby > Nerchio (probably 4-3..since their matches are generally so close)

ALL games will be casted. The first one will be done all by myself (I doubt a player wants to cast before he even has played).
I said it's unfortunate because commentators should also be good hosts in terms of presentation etc. and having 2 instead of one is also a good thing to go for.
We replaced the picture with grubby (old EG one) with a new suitable one. When the picture was made yesterday, I wasnt paying too much attention because I'm very sick atm (my thyroid gland is shutting down but I can't start taking new medication, because of unknown side effects and I need to be at least able to be there on site - I mean, we have worked so hard for months to get to this point and we simply can't allow this whole thing to fail)
Our Money, Our Reputation - Our Everything is on the line here.
I wish you good luck with your health, take care of it, since its pretty important! Still good job for changing the pic, really looking forward for this event, ill be a spectator for sure@!

Lol Grubby beat Nerchio 3 times in official tournaments recently..... And I do think Ret is also a better Zerg aswell.

ret overrated :O? This guy has the best macro in the game proven by that sq thread which conducted tests to find out who macro's the best.

I think the winner of White-Ra vs Stephano in round 2 will win it all.
I think it will be Stephano, but White-Ra does have a very long history of surprise tournament results.
Ret in the finals of the other side. Ret could take it vs White-Ra, but not vs Stephano IMO.
Odds to win: Stephano: 3/2 WhiteRa: 4/1 Ret: 4/1 Socke 6/1 Grubby 8/1 TLO, Kas, Nerchio - 10/1
Bo5 and Bo7 for semi and finals make upsets less likely.
The bracket does seem a bit unbalanced, the side with Stephano, White-Ra, TLO and Grubby is far stronger IMO. Especially with Grubby having been in Korea now for quite some time.
I haven't seen Kas play much lately, but his 80% win-rate on EU ladder makes me tentative on my 10/1 for him.... but I've haven't seen him do well in tourney's while travelling and until a pro show's differently ladder results don't necessarily translate to tourney success. Stage play is another beast to be conquered, and until you slay that dragon, you'll always have to deal with it.
Amazing field of players though, can't wait to watch!

well ur odds are rly wierd man O_o but hey maybe its only me : P i think TLO`s 10/1 are rly optimistic since he plays Z and hes T is not so gosu either : o

Stephano will most likely smash through this tournament.
2-0 vs Grubby 3-1 vs White-Ra 3-0 vs TLO 4-1 vs Nerchio/Socke 4-2 vs Kas/Ret

well.. there are only 8 players in the field, but ya it could be lower for sure maybe closer to 15 to 1. I love TLO though, and the event is in Germany... and he is German... so home field advantage helps :D
