This has been one of the most interesting off-seasons so far, with games on nearly every day. Even though I'm not a fan of the SC-Special Force hybrid Proleague, I have to applaud all of the changes this year. Not only do we get to see a regular amount of SC matches, but we get to watch some progamers we wouldn't usually get to see on TV.


Yesterday we had SKT vs Woongjin Team Evaluation, and there were some alright games. Most aren't recommended, but when they hit youtube, I suggest watching Bisu vs Zero. It was entertaining, even though it was nowhere near the best game either has played. It seemed like, overall, the players really enjoy events like these. It's a very casual atmosphere, after all.

+ Show Spoiler [Epic fail game of the day] +
Mong vs Guemchi

Come on Mong. You open fast mines vs 12?Nex and not only fail to pull off any kind of early contain (or even defense), but get contained yourself by the first few goons that come out and lose your expansion. You're training under some of the best Terrans of all time on SKT!



Tonight(today) there are actually two different events going down:

The UPC will be on, with STX taking on eSTRO. (T)UpMaGiC plays TvZ against (Z)Modesty, and really is the only player I'm comfortable watching play mechanic. Maybe it's just because he was doing it long before it was all the rage, I don't know. In any case, he should take the win. (Z)Calm also plays a ZvZ against (Z)hyvaa, who is actually not a bad ZvZ player himself. I doubt I'll watch this, but it should be an interesting outcome nonetheless. I just don't find Special Force to be all that entertaining, like many people on TL. I'm picking eSTRO to take this, though. 2/3 SF matches and an Upmagic win seem a given.


Another Lineup Match will also be going on, with Oz's Protosses taking on MBC's zergs. So we have the relative no-names of Oz Protossdom facing the washed up MBC Zergs. At least every matchup will be PvZ and mildly entertaining by default.

Oz P: Backho is seemingly absent from this, as is another Oz Protoss who we've seen a few times before - Young (who really wasn't that good). But hey, they have Perfectman, right? Perfectman is of course famous for.. winning a game against Iris. And this disturbing hype thread.

MBC Z: Okay, to be fair to MBC, their Zergs aren't really that washed up. They just weren't really any good in the first place. Saint has always been sub-par. Hyun I always get confused with the similar named Hyuk, because they're both simply mediocre players. I can't really hate on Shark, though. He at least has shown some really fun and clever games in the past (most notably this game), despite the fact that he's never been a very solid technical player.

I'm going with the risky pick of Oz on this one. Just the mere possibility that some of their Protosses might have played a few practice games with Jaedong is enough to sway me.

Oh, my eSports
