-- GG Lucifer(8) > Wanabe(2) -- Prediction: Correct --
Thoughts:
- Very one sided, so not a great way to see if I am 'calling the score', but I did call it correctly at least. Lucifer impressed the hell out of me: his micro was fantastic and he totally dominated Wanabe.
- I am probably going to have to assign points for tech, right now I am only concentrating on micro and expoing.
- Hopefully future games will be closer to challenge this method of analysis more.

-- Lucifer(7) > Wannabe(3) -- Prediction: Correct --
Thoughts:
- Exciting game with the very unusual timing MnM push. It was an all in strategy and I think had a great chance to win if not for Lucifer's incredible Reaver micro.
- I am officially a Lucifer fan. This guy's micro play is fantastic and he seems to align his strategies toward that strength, with plenty of aggressive play.
- Another game that "predicted it's self" once points were awarded for the battle victories.

-- YellOW(3) > asam(2) -- Prediction: Correct (kinda) --
Thoughts:
- Extremely fast all in crushes asam. Great use of zerglings to keep asam from scouting it out with probes (should have awarded a point for this, probably)
- Short game like this is hard to evaluate, because the only deciding points are the result of the final attack doing its damage. Good game tho.

-- YellOW(7) < asam(12) -- Prediction: Correct --
Thoughts:
- Must mention I saw there was a 3rd game ahead of time, so I entered this knowing asam pulls it out. I still evaluated it play-by-play however.
- Almost feel dirty about so many points being awarded for harass, but each point was for a separate harass which was effective. Asam just decimated YellOW's economy for a few minutes straight with drop after drop.
- Probably the biggest reason asam won this was YellOW investing so much in the timing push and having a weakened economy that could not cope with what came after the push was deflected. It is a bit hard to show that in this 'event point based system', however.
- I am in love with these less-known Protoss micro masters. I am guessing they are not top players yet due to weaknesses in their macro game, but I just LOVE watching low supply micro-heavy games.

-- YellOW(11) > asam(3) -- Prediction: Correct --
Thoughts:
- Excellent game. Yellow's secret drop was so risky, but it paid off in spades.
- Games like these make the event-prediction system too easy.
- Poor asam! I was really hoping he would take this one. I hope to see more from him in the future; his play impressed me a lot.

-- Effort (6) > ToSsGirL(2) -- Prediction: Correct --
Thoughts:
- Disappointing game with unexciting play. The one nice move was the very successful HoldLurker trap that decimated ToSsGirL's advance force.. But what was she even trying to do with that attack group anyway? Effort had firm control of the game after that but was too afraid to launch the final blow until he had overwhelming forces.

Thoughts:
- I wonder why vod 106 was skipped?
- "Tasteless vs pronouns" earned a LOL from me.
- Poor ToSsGirL looked so sad at the end.

-- Baby (5) > Robbie(5) -- Prediction: Off --
Thoughts:
- It was a tied prediction, but I should have been awarding baby points for some of his unit control. Many battles he came out on top and those were what really secured his victory.
- Sunk...enColony.. Haha, Tasteless must read the boards.

-- Baby (6) > Robbie(6) -- Prediction: Off --
Thoughts:
- Again, I was off because of not awarding Baby enough points for successful attacks. When an attack happens, give a point. If an attack succeeds, give a point. If an attack kills an expo, give a point. I need to follow that more closely if I want to improve my accuracy.
