Oops.

Ignore everything I said above about standings

So I actually watched all the VODs of what happened today, they just played the first two matches and the winner's bracket match. 2nd place in groups A and B haven't been decided yet, and will be decided Sunday.

So as of now, officially,

Spoiler:
Maru and Serral are through in 1st, and everyone else is still alive in the loser's bracket and the decider match for 2nd place.

Serral goes MAXIMUM **** YOU, you think those are pulled drones? I'M PULLING EVERY DRONE

After watching the games today,

Maru just makes really good players look helplessly outclassed, it's really pretty amazing

I mean, if you have the stones to pick the last Korean qualifier sOs to ship, you've got to be okay with the results when a cannon rush goes wrong

The stones to predict the same thing that happened last year?

I think the nature of this tournament being what it is, all the top 8 Koreans are so good, the best few might be more likely than the bottom few but any of them could win and it wouldn't be shocking. Hell, sOs did win a blizzcon before, didn't he?

Dark-Showtime game 1

Spoiler:
wtf is incontrol talking about? "This looks good for Showtime that he killed Dark's natural, but is it? He has no map presence!"

Who cares? Dark has two (unconnected) hatches, a bunch of speedlings, and a low worker count against a 2 base Protoss with a solid wall and shield batteries. What the hell is Dark going to do to him?

Spoiler:
i agree with you. i was a little surprised that dark just continued to all in instead of actually trying to use his map control to drone up, but when i was watching that, i was thinking "no...dark is way behind"

healthy use of spoilers. tried to find a clip of the league "RESPECT THE PAUSE"

i was also confused with how they were running the groups.

this isnt really a spoiler but happened on day one

Spoiler:
i think it was kaelaris during the ty/neeb ghost rush game, that said a snipe can one shot a probe, a zealot, and a stalker. my friend said you can definitely snipe a stalker, i adamantly said no you cant. and past that, you cant even snipe a probe. otoh, next time we play 1v1 i am most definitely ghost rushing after a proxy marauder game


i also think my bracket portion is fairly in trouble having my picks out of order (or worse)

I had to look it up, but you're right - can't snipe a stalker because stalkers aren't biological units. Same with probes.

In b4 Special vs Serral in Ro8

Edit: But for real, I actually don't give a **** what the bracket is as long as Maru and Serral are on opposite sides.

Yeah, god damn it, I had Maru v Stats in the finals (someone else did too), and despite correctly picking them both advancing 1st in the group stage, they're in the same half of the final bracket
