Code S Round of 8 Recap and Prediction Analysis

In paranthesis, my predictions
MC 3-0 HongUn (3-1)HongUn was never supposed to win this game by anybody I guess, but the way MC dominated this game gives a good taste of what lies ahead of us.A very one-sided series that I as many others believe has shown he will be champion this season.
San 3-1 
sC (2-3)If you haven't watched the series, go watch it. Highly entertaining, both players displaying great skills aswell as mistakes that make the games long and epic.
Overall,
San showing how strong macro mode protoss can be.As a bonus, Artosis on painkillers because of his tooth maybe giving the funniest cast this season so far.
July 3-2 NaDa (3-2)My expectation of this match pretty much came true. Despite his style being very predictable at the moment, the pure strength of
Julys gameplay is really convincing.NaDa made a few mistakes and wrong decisions, but gave a good fight with a well deserved win for July at the end.Lyn 1-3 anypro (1-3)This series was a bit dissapointing.
Lyn, a player for sure capable of beating anypro, played very onedimensional, playing the same opening over and over. One time it worked, 3 times it didn't, I would wish him to play a bit more diverse in the future. anypro figured him out and won.Code S Semi-Finals Predictions

Predictions not taking maps into account yet
MC vs. SanIf this would have been a week before, I would have guessed a 3-1 victory for
MC, but the way he destroyed HongUn with ease and the fact that san has not played a single PvP yet and therefor this might be his weak spot, I think this will end in a very one sided fashion after 3 maps. MC is just above the remaining players.July vs. anyproThis game needs a bit further investigation.
July lost to MC in group stage, and that was his only ZvP. Apart from that, he got only terrans, which seems to be his stellar matchup.On the other hand,
anypro not only beat Kyrix (who himself knocked InCa out of group stage), but even more he took 2 maps from FruitDealer in Group Stage.Taking these facts into account, I fear this is the end of
July as this seems to be anypros strong matchup, but it will end after 5 tense maps.Summary
