Artosis sat down with Ret again for some predictions for the round of 16 in the playoffs. Ret thinks that Mondragon will take down previous Dreamhack winner, BRAT_OK in a close match.



Ret's predictions

IefNaij vs TerraN
In the first match of the round of 16 ret predicts that it's going to be a close match if IefNaij puts down some hours to practice, but if not it's going to be a 3-0 or a 3-1 victory for TerraN.

White-Ra vs TT1
Ret hopes that KaBaL, also known as TT1, can surprise us by beating White-Ra. According to Artosis, TT1's PvP is strong, so it is going to be interesting.

Tarson vs NonY
Tarson is one of the weaker names in the round of 16, even though he's always been doing good in the WCG nationals of Poland. NonY has however been looking very strong lately, despite his absence from Starcraft, so NonY is the favorite to move on to the quarter finals.

XiaOzI vs IdrA
XiaOzI always meets IdrA in the first rounds of tournaments, and is very unlucky. He has beaten him occasionally, but IdrA just gets better every week, so IdrA is the favorite to move on to the quarterfinals.

Mondragon vs BRAT_OK
People tend to underestimate Mondragon because of his lack of achievements lately. But it's going to be a close match where Mondragon pulls the longest straw.

kolll vs Fenix
kolll is the favorite.
- "it's just another MorroW for kolll". As long as he can stop Fenix's unorthodox tactics, he's going to be the clear winner of this match.

CaStrO vs ret
Ret is sad that he switched to zerg against terran, as it looks like he's meeting alot of zergs in the playoffs of TSL.
- "I shot myself in the foot by switching to zerg and go to korea when it comes to TSL. Just six months ago TvZ was my best matchup".

Sen vs Draco
According to Ret, this is the great match of the round of 16. Sen won the qualifiers by taking down a terran, which is his worst matchup, and now he meets a protoss, and ZvP is his best matchup.
- "Draco you better practice. If Draco puts down some hours, this is going to be a close match".


For the semifinals Ret hopes to see NonY, but thinks that IdrA and White-Ra will be facing eachother in the top half. In the bottom half Ret predicts to see kolll and Sen in the semifinals,
- "I almost lost to FlaF, so I don't think I'm a favorite and am not going to say myself". Ret further explains that if he gets to the finals and meets a terran or a protoss his chances are much bigger, and he will win Teamliquid Starleague 2. Artosis also asked Ret about the Courage tournament next week, and Ret feels confident and think he's going to win it.
