HI ALL. ProAnnn here. Bored in school so decided to do some predictions on SEAPL
Hope that it won't affect the mood of the players. I'm a little bias towards protoss Feel free to upset my predictions !
aLt| VS |xGking|
Week 1 Match 1
Game1:|YoonYJ| VS | xGKingBielsko| on MLG Taldarim Altar
These two players are no strangers to everyone in sc2sea. YoonYJ have won 3? COs(MAY BE WRONG) while Bielsko is an up and coming funky toss (3-2 Azz, 2-3 Revenant, 2-3 Roz in showmatches). Bielsko and YYJ both qualified for WCG Australia 2011.

YoonYJ hasnt been active recently(I MAY BE WRONG but i didnt see him in events quite often) compared to Bielsko so Bielsko may stand a chance to take games off him with his funky builds. But YoonYJ was always aLt's Ace and perform extremely well in Team league(Last SEACL he took 3 or 4 games off inFi and only lost cause he GTG ). Have to give it to YoonYJ for his solid play but i wont be surprised if Bielsko takes a game off YoonYJ.

My predictions:



Game2:|MrFool| VS | xGKingPokerface| on MLG Metalopolis
MrFool is a new recruit of aLt( YEAH SINGAPOREAN!). He does quite well on ladder but his lan results is not very good (Didnt do well in Mystery Box lan nor NYP's lan).
Meanwhile, his opponent was also recently picked up by xGKing, pokerface! Pokerface have done well in recent tournaments finishing high in alot tournaments such as IEM Kiev qualifiers(i believe top 4?) and some AUS lan events(i have poor knowledge of those). But most recently on yesterday, he got 2nd place for Master Cup, beating TigerSPR, TARossi, VTAzz on the way to his finals.

MrFool may be a very good up and coming terran but i believe that pokerface has extremely good ZvT that can beat the very top terrans of SEA
Mr Predictions:
Game3:|aLtnirvAnA | VS | xGKingLight| on MLG Shattered Temple
aLtnirvAnA vs xGKingLight. Both are extremely good protoss players as well as drama stirrers(NO OFFENCE HERE). aLtnirvAna's recent achievements would be winning WCG Singapore(beat me on the way there T_T) and representing Singapore in Korea.

xGKingLight won?(finish top 3 at least) in many Aus Lan tournaments. Including the very old 10k? tournament where he took 2 games of ST_Ace(Which was hell of an achievement back then). However, xGKingLight has recently stated that he sort of "retired" from sc2 and wasnt as active on ladder as before.(He played like 2k ladder games per season during those long seasons!)
With the recent change of trend in PvP, i believe that nirvAnA may have a slight edge over Light in the metagaming part but i trust in Light's mechanics as he was once the top protoss in SEA
My Predictions:
Game4:|SQLTtNinja| VS | xGKingiaguz| on MLG Shakuras Plateau
SQLTtNinja, one of the ladder BEAST in SEA while xGKingiaguz is king of highest winrate in SEA(last checked long time ago). If i dont remember wrongly, their latest meetup in a recent tournament(City hunter or something), Ninja won 2-1 over iaguz.
Ninja always performed decently in lan tournaments(may not be correct) and is known over at sc2sea as a very good player. Iaguz is world-reknowned as Gimli Terran(stating the obvious ). Iaguz have so many top 3 finishes that i cant remember which one he finished top 3. Iaguz is also regarded as one of the top terrans in SEA.
I have not much knowledge of Ninja's ZvT while iaguz always have very strong TvZ although he loses to glade all the time .
My Prediction:
Ace match:|TtPiG| VS |xGKingMafia| on GSL
TtPiG, one of the most respected coach in sc2sea. xGKingMafia is one of the most feared ladder monster in SEA server. It is not surprising to see them representing their own teams/clans as the Aces. Pig won one CO while Mafia won 2? I'm not really sure. Pig has one of the best ZvZ in the entire SEA server. One proof of that was when qualifying for IEM Guangzhou, he beat moonglade to qualify for it. Mafia on the other hand is not as reknowned for his ZvZ but his montrous ZvP and ZvT. Both players has high finishes in LAN tournaments in AUS(then again sorry for my lack of knowledge of the AUS lan scene)
With ZvZ as Pig's Best matchup while ZvZ not being Mafia best matchup, i would have to give this series to ...
My Prediction:


Overall Predictions for aLt vs xGKing:


Herocraft VS TA
Game1:|Cobo| VS |SQLTyang| on MLG Taldarim Altar
Cobo is a Malaysian player, he is actually considered one of the best if not the best player in Malaysia. One of Cobo's achievement would be representing Malaysia for TGX Regional in Singapore. He has many other achievements that i dont know . On the other side representing TA, SQLTyang!!! yang is one of few top protoss is Australia. The one achievement he had recently was winning the IEM Kiev qualifiers, beating players such as Mafia, mOOnGLaDe, PiG, Enderr and Iaguz. Sounds so scary~.
My Predictions:
Game2:|Shuffle| VS |TAEdgE| on MLG Metalopolis
QuanticShuffle: The only australian in the team quantic and is currently residing in the Startale house(i think) right now.
TAEdgE: He is no stranger to anyone in the SEA scene. He is normally the clutch player for TA's A Team with him playing the ace matches for the past SEACL(and winning them).
Shuffle's achievements: Several high placing in AUS tourneys i believe( He's flown below the radar for awhile)
Edge's achievements: 1 CO win and many high placing in AUS tournaments. One 3rd place in the masters cup
My Predictions:

Game3:|Risen| VS |TAVoices| on MLG Shattered Temple
Risen: Sorry but i have totally never heard of Risen before.
TAVoices: Once the top 4 players of TA(who never heard of voice,edge,pinder,deth) but was inactive for awhile due to drama or something. Recently(a few months) got back to sc2 and i met him quite a few times on ladder(i'm like 1-10 against him or something)
Risen's Achievements: NO IDEA
TAVoices Achievements: I believed he won something in 2009
My Predictions:
Game4:|tgun| VS |SQLTSenSei| on MLG Shakuras Plateau
Gosu.tgun: One of the top zerg players on the SEA server. Once in FXO, played quite a few times in GSTL. Got 2ported banshee.
SQLTtSenSei: One of the few good protoss players in AUS. Picked up by SQLT recently, hasn't had his breakout tournament unlike yang.
Gosu.tgun's Achievements: Represented FXO in GSTL, 2nd place in WCG Australia, at least one City Hunter Tournament, a bunch of top finishes in Australia tournament.
SQLTtSensei's Achievements: I really have no idea, sorry sensei.
My Predictions:
Ace match:|mOOnGLaDe| VS |TARossi| on GSL Daybreak
mOOnGLaDe: If you dont know him, either kill yourself, or quit sc2
TARossi: I heard he was once bronze but now i consider him the top 3 TvZ players in SEA. That's how good his TvZ is.
mOOnGLaDe Achievements: SO MANY that i'm not gonna write. I'll just say. EVERY SINGLE SEA TOURNAMENT HE JOINS. (when he's serious)
TARossi's Achievements: As usual, i have no idea but i remember a few high placingins in City Hunter's tournaments
My Predictions:

Overall Predictions for HeroCraft vs TA


ToT VS EvE
Won't be doing achievements for most of them cause i dont know most of them.
Game1:|jerry| VS |techtron|on MLG Taldarim Altar
Jerry: GM rank 18 259-186 One of the ladder monster i know. He placed really really high on the ladder but that's all i know
techtron: Master rank 50 8-21(but its terran?)An amazing zerg in my opinion. One of the few underrated players in this tournament. This could be his breakout match.
My Predictions: [spoiler]
Both players are actually very strong and even in my opinion. Since ZvZ is such a volatile matchup and i hae no idea who is stronger. I'll give my vote to jerry for his high amount of ladder games but i strongly believe that these will be close games
jerry 2-1 techtron
Game2:|ForJJToT| VS |Yekke|on MLG Metalopolis
ForJJToT:(Cant Find him on sc2ranks) No infomation about him at all
Yekke: (No 1v1 games played this season) One of the Singaporean zergs(You know singaporean zergs are strong!) i know. He recently upset yang in one of the recent tournaments, cant really remember which one, master cup? He also got 2nd place in Master Cup 2 or 3
My Predictions:
Game3:|porkToT| VS |Westley|on MLG Shattered Temple
porkToT: Ranked 32 GM with 48-39
Westley: Ranked 87 Masters with 0-1
My Predictions:
Game4:|hotlipsToT| VS |tDpMaltiso|on MLG Shakuras Plateau
hotlipsToT: Rank 46 Diamond 46 wins and Rank 48 Masters 3-7 (2 Accounts)

Strafe: Ranked 4 GM with 76-28 Swedish Terran living in Thailand. Beat enderr in one of the lan tournaments there by lost to revenant. One of the famous ladder grinder too.
My Predictions:
Overall Predictions for ToT vs EvE


Mski VS MiTH
Game1:|MskiWaning| VS |NEOindy|on MLG Taldarim Altar
MskiWaning: Ranked 111 GM 59-44
Waning is one of the many protosses in Mski. I believe he is pretty good
NEOindy: Ranked 87 Master 1-0
indy was from inFi but quit inFi to play for MiTH. I think he would be strong since he was under Roz
My Predictions:
Game2:|MskiJaBiTo| VS |MiTHjump|on MLG Metalopolis
MskiJaBiTo: Ranked 92 GM 19-27
Most handsome man on SEA according to nirvana. He was once zerg before he switched to terran(wise choice brothar) so i think he is not very good in TvP
MiTHjump: Ranked 38 GM 60-46
jump is the manager/player of Mith and i am extremely surprised that he has such a high ranking on ladder
My Predictions:
Game3:|Pobbes| VS |GviewHaDeZ|on MLG Shattered Temple
Pobbes: Ranked 86 GM 65-56
GviewHaDeZ: Ranked 66 GM 112-96
