mind's TvZ is absolute beast even against someone like zero is pretty heavily favored, his biggest problem is TvT but experience in making this far in offline tournaments and good preparation makes me think mind is capable of taking down TvT boss sharp.

I understand the need to compare I struggle with everyone else here but although everyone calls the NSL as KSL2 because of kongdoo its different so don't take "last time" into account.
me too! bisu fighting! let's go! i already missed his tie breaker game and i can't believe i'm going to miss his ro8 too! i wish they're not playing on new yr's eve!
Still a bit tilted about Sharp vs. Zero though. While Sharp had recently shown excellent decision making during mid game play, he had yet to have been tested in mechanically demanding late game TvZ (which I thought Zero would be able to drag him into), and didn't have a strong record vs. Zerg (4-5). Generally I've regarded Zero as a relatively ineffectual (prone to getting overpowered) B or C level Zerg (particularly against Terran), but he has shown better results in the recent era. Of course, mental fortitude has not been one of his strengths (in matches or not), and Sharp's confidence and momentum is extremely high (even after losing to Bisu, which was expected). Still I feel like Zero underperformed - 3-0 is a bit too much. In the game on circuit breaker, he threw away his first large group of Ultras for essentially nothing (had few Zergling support, and terrible engagement angle) - and I think this may have changed the whole dynamic of the game, and the series. Some aggressive tilting to finish things off.. More info. would have been better for this one..
And also thank you to Prech, Chapatiyaq, and everyone else involved. The reason I felt like joining TL in the first place was for the Broodwar FPL contest (I only got to play once though ;_;), so I appreciate cool contests like this. There is apparently going to be more big tournaments coming up, so maybe more people will join, and the contest can be bigger like in other games
