He can get in line, the number of euro protosses that have been steadily getting better is pretty big. Every single one of them fails when it goes to ro8/4, with the sole exceptions being Nani and Mana

Well on the heels of Dreamhack Life 4-0's his group in RSL. Beating qxc and liquid's hero.

Going to go out on the most obvious limb and say Life wins Dreamhack in pretty convincing fashion. The only people I could see even giving him a sweat would be violet and hyun simply because ZvZ is still a bit wonky and coin flippy.

Keep in mind they are bo1 and then ro16 is round robin bo1, like the old OSL, so upsets will be aplenty. Rumor is that because GSL came up with their format, OSL won't do bo3. I watched one of the Hero vs Life games and I was kinda unimpressed, hope Hero has better builds for DH.

Nani and Thorzain both out in the second group stage. Sucks for Sweden.

Suppy the lone American hope.

Except that they play for Esport (eSportSM) championship in 90 minutes which has bigger prize for 1st place than Dreamhack

Shame that there's apparently no English stream

really sucks you can't beat Swarm Hosts without Colossus. It makes no sense and it will cost him the game.

Speaking of which, this game one is the dumbest game I have ever seen. Map mined out tempests vs pdd and they're just shooting ineffectually at each other in the middle of the map. Currently at 72 minutes.

So, looking at the dreamhack brackets, it honestly seems like Squirtle or Taeja should be able to easily take the top half. I could see TLO pulling off the upset and taking out Squirtle but I don't really think he could take Taeja out in the Ro8. Jaedong could go all the way to the Ro4 though. His ZvZ, imo is better then Stephanos, then he'll take on a Terran of either Lucifron or Dayshi (Prolly Lucifron).

As for the bottom half of the bracket, it's infested with Korean Zergs. Life, Hyun, Violet. One of those 3 will make it to the finals. I'm rooting for Life, but Life's worst matchup is ZvZ, so taking out some other korean zergs in his path could be tough. Although, maybe Gumiho will take out both Hyun, then Violet which would be great for Life.

I'd like to see a Taeja vs Life finals though. At that point I'd probably have to root for Life to win it all. I'd like to see Taeja take another big tournament victory, but honestly, I don't think he could beat life in a Bo7 (or is the grand finals bo9?)

ps. 1337 reply! fk ya.

I just hope for non-ZvZ finals, but I can't see anyone but Hyun or Life making it from the bottom.
