Predictions?

[Eddie]

ZhuGeLiang has had to withdraw from group D, luckily a replacement of the same race has been found - DIMAGA will take the spot.

[FaDeHealZ]

Predictions

Group A: 1st Petraeus, 2nd HuK, 3rd Kelazhur, 4th Tefel
Group B: 1st TargA, 2nd PtitDrogo, 3rd DemiLove, 4th TeebuL

Group A is a pretty tough group :P Good luck to those guys, but I feel Petraeus is just one level up on them, HuK will be wanting to get back into WCS Premier, so he'll probably have practiced lots.

Group B, TargA is a bit of a mystery, but he's got more top-level exposure than the rest, so he should get out comfortably, PtitDrogo vs Demi will be close, Ptit is favorite but I feel Demi could put up an upset.

[Philosopher]

I think Kelazhur and Petraeus have got this. Both have been playing outstandingly the last couple of months. I think Pet is able to get through first.

Group B is a bit harder to predict. I don't know much about TeebuL. TargA and PtitDrogo have both scary play styles, and Demi I think is always a contender. If I was gonna make a prediction I think PtitDrogo and TargA make it through (Sorry Demi)

[ROOTDemi]

alot can happen in 1 week : ) im feeling confident vs targa and drogo and im higher ranked than teebul on EU so we'll see

[PSiArc]

Group A Petraeus Kelazhur
This group is a pretty tough group and hard to predict. so I just choose whom I want to advance lol

Group B PtitDrogo DemiLove
Unfortunately both PtitDrogo and TargA seems good at vs Z, but DemiLove can do it especially with the help of ZvZ luck factor. SEA players are good at ZvZs!

Group C PiG Xenocider
PiG will show his strength as an SEA repsentative! Xenocider these days looks pretty strong and I think he's a step ahead of the other guys except PiG

I agree 100% with HealZ.

And Group C should see PiG, and Xeno advancing over Pilipili and gametime respectively. However, with PiG travelling so much he might be off his form, and if that is the case, Pilipili and Xeno advance.

Good luck friends, should be fun!

additional Predictions

Group D Bunny Lilbow
ZhuGeliang and Mistake aren't bad but Bunny and Lilbow. They are really top-tier in the foreign scene.
They are just too good to lose 2 BO3s.

Group E MaSa MaNa
it's not pun. considering their recent great performance(Mana sweeping Axiom-Acer and MaSa beating MaNa) I find them a little bit more likely to advance.
every player in this group, however, has a decent chance at advancing as they are all great players and relatively close.

Quick Comments

ZGL is very talented, but the group is really hard. Group E is balanced, I think the zergs prevail. :)

SSfp_Saulo:

PSISTORM fighting.

[SLCN.Wally]

why did ZhuGeLiang replace arium? I was next in line from that qualifier that arium qualified through

Quick Comments

ShayneRarma:

Because we don't like you. Clearly.

[SLCN.Wally]

Honestly though, dimaga didn't even play in the qualifiers. I know I let gametime have the spot but that wasn't because I didn't want to play, it was because I thought he deserved it more. Seems pretty weird to just pull random people into the tournament when you had 2 qualifiers and multiple people that should be next in line.

Quick Comments

ThatGuyDoMo:

oof

[Eddie]

The spot went to ZhuGeLiang as you'd already turned down a chance, and the last chance qualifier (which you also played in) took preference as it was the official qualifier, rather than merged with another tournament, with invited players mixed in**.

Additionally to replace ZhuGeLiang on late notice, i tried to match with a zerg to be fair on the players, and an eu one they would be familiar with.

**If we moved onto the next in line from one or two qualifiers, we start to get into tied situations again, which are quite hard to play out (certainly quickly) to see who would get the spot. This was a large part of the issue. It was hard enough just to try and lockdown a time for you and Gametime.

I also had to find a replacement late night ~1am AU, not great for contacting Aussies.

TLDR: Wally had already declined before, we needed a zerg in a short space of time.

Quick Comments

SSfp_Saulo:

RIP zergs... :-/

[Eddie]

R16 Finals starts in a little over 1 hour!

Unfortunately Kane has had to withdraw.
He was a seed from Global All Stars #1. The next highest player from that event was Zanster, so he is revived and will take the position.

Predictions?

[SSfp_Saulo]

My internet failed half an hour before the event started and it just functioned again.
Snute will play Bunny in loser's bracket to define the second finalist?

[Eddie]

Due to Snute playing in KFC, we'll move the finals to 1pm CEST tomorrow (Monday) (9pm AEST)

Lilbow will be waiting in the finals to play either Snute or Bunny.
