FeelsF1re man.And we're already at 3 upsets with still 2 sets to go 11
Didn't watch, but I watched his stream before and was predicting he can take one game from MbL, not really a surprise for me.Can we count MBL losing 2 vills in dark age as an upset? Of course the skill gap was too big for Sora Kuma, but incredible ballsy play by him.

Honestly, the first time I ever heard of him, hopefully this is the start of a good pro career for him. Lets go Taiwan!Didn't watch, but I watched his stream before and was predicting he can take one game from MbL, not really a surprise for me.
Very promising player and can be the main player in the team ROC in next NC.
He's a teenager if I'm not mistaken so definitely a talent to follow in the coming years.Honestly, the first time I ever heard of him, hopefully this is the start of a good pro career for him. Lets go Taiwan!
- I also go for cloud - actually saw him as the favourite since happyhappy has been inactive for quite some time; yet happyhappy's ladder performance (2.3k+) is pretty impressive. This is kind of a 50:50 for me.View attachment 183896
These are todays brakets,
after yesterday's surprises, what are your predictions? For me it's:
GKt_Cloud (technically upset, but seeds are so close that it could go either way)
TIm (but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Twigg manages to win)
Vinchester (no doubt here)
Rex vs Dracken I have no idea, never seen any of them
Nicov
Liereyy
I predict slam although the pain master could pull it off. It depends on slam's nerves. I say 2-1
Daut should have the upper hand, it's too soon for Hearttm even though I havent' seen daut to his full potential since this summer
I think CL was not that inactive. He played frequently (but mostly TG) on Voobly China, and I would assume that he has more than 1 account on DE too.- I also go for cloud - actually saw him as the favourite since happyhappy has been inactive for quite some time; yet happyhappy's ladder performance (2.3k+) is pretty impressive.

- Tim (although I'm not too convinced of his performance since DE)
- Vinchester
- DraConT, although it may depend on how well he handles his nerves after getting lamed in minute 1. :D
- Nicov
- Liereyy
- slam, I don't see jibatong as a real challenge for him
- DauT, although he's not in his best shape, Hearttt should still be quite a bit away from his peak as well
Really? I don't know sobek a lot but I consider Vinchester is on his top level and I have always considered him an Arabia specialist, since he finished second in Masters of Arabia behind Mr Yo and also consistently taking games from TatoH...Vinchester should also be very wary of Sobek,
11 was this a troll or a mistake?I almost had a heart attack yesterday when I randomly tuned into Hera's stream to see this:

Still in the actual match I'd say just the performance of Sora Kuma could be considered an 'upset'
I don't think if 2-3 years ago we would expect a top 60-70 player to do this well in a tryhard tournament vs a top 10 one
So looking forward to the next round <3
I think CL was not that inactive. He played frequently (but mostly TG) on Voobly China, and I would assume that he has more than 1 account on DE too.
When you look at his recent games, beating F1Re and JorDan, a few wins (but also losses) against BacT, Tim, Yellow and also beating Capoch 2:0, all on Arabia, I would say he is in an excellent shape. If his Ro32 wasn't Lierrey, I would say he could get into the top 16 and play a good role in group C, as only Liereyy and Nicov are clear favourites against him in that bracket part.
He doesn't have TGs played, he just played his way up...his rating is really impressive, but I was wondering if it all came from the TG trick.
