Certainly, Hogil surprised Bisu with fast lurkers, but I doubt he will be able to win against Bisu's comeback mode. Hopefully, Bisu can back my words up - I believe! Also, lol at fortress being ACE map again
Puma snipes a dship for 2 wraiths, don't know if anything was in it but I don't think so. Fantasy has one wraith, and I think he's building Dships now. Puma's SP was not flashing.
Fantasy starting his fifth. Puma floating his fourth. One dship out for puma. Fantasy seiges near the place where he's dropping (the main). 4 vultures. Not much get's done.
Puma needs to deal some damage, he's down a base.
Fantasy with nice vulture harass; drops more vultures at the nat gets 3-4 scvs. Vultures get into the 4th but there's only a tank there. Now here comes the scvs, but none die. Puma brings his own in to clean it up. Puma's drop at the min only does nothing.
Worth noting is that Fantasy's been mining on 5 base longer than Puma has been on 4, puma just started mining there. Dships help fantasy take out alot of tanks from puma (4-5). Now they're flying to the fourth. 4 tanks dropped but it's not goin to do any damage.
Ah these earlier broadcasts always catch me off guard. I'm way to used to watching late at night. Good thing I didn't miss much. Hope to see some more Bisu ownage.
Puma cleans up 4-5 tanks blocking him from expanding at the 6.
Fantasy with 6 dropships dropping the main of puma. Wraiths waiting and gets a few dropships... but tons of tanks in there. He pulls scvs. Fantasy drops more reinforcements.
Factories burning and lifted. Puma still with 5 dships and droping more reinforcements.
Weird he drops behind supply and not on the tanks.

When Hite is 2nd last in PL, it is time for them to try out their new players and give Leta a rest for his upcoming Ro16 OSl run
SungEun delaying Best from taking the rest of his half of the map with annoying vultures sniping Nexus-building probes. 0-0-1 upgrades for Best 0-0-1 upgrades for SungEun as he tries to take the 12 o'clock expo
observer shows that 1/2 of SungEuns army is out of position.
Best loses a large portion of his army trying to stop the 12 expo of SungEun
Now that Sparkyz has to rebuild their lineup and get new players used to playing on stage, it's a good thing they're not making it to the playoffs, I guess. Gives 'em more time to practice, and it looks like they'll need it.
The only contention is between CJ/OZ/KHAN. Oz I think can drop one game and still make it in while Khan has to go undefeated, but I'm not sure. Check the thread in BW.

It's a norush15 game. The game really begins when Protoss is at 5 bases and Terran is at 4 bases; it's not a bad game from there on, but the buildup is completely uneventful.
Well, being a cheesy terran doesn't always pay off. Especially against a team of cheesy terrans with Boxer and Fantasy. It really wasn't that great of a cheese either. I thought it was more risky than it was likely to succeed.

Not likely though.
SKT does play STX still and if they win that one... it's down to 1 game. If STX wins that, SKT basically loses the 2 seed chance.
Kal < Best Clam < Fantasy Shuttle < Bisu/Hyuk/s2 STX 0-3 SKT Something like that is pretty likely to happen.
Even as a fellow SKT fan, the only one I can agree somewhat on is number 3.
While Best is starting to look back in form, he's still not the PvP monster he used to be. Kal still has a shot of taking Best down, I think.
Calm and Fantasy can go either way, as both players tend to have their occasional "uh wut" moments. Since Fantasy has good momentum, I will say it rests on Calm's hands to give Fantasy a run for his money. The two are 6-5 in head to head, in Fantasy's favor, so don't count Calm out so easily.
The other issue is if Bisu has to go up against by.hero, as by.hero has proven quite capable of giving Bisu a tough time.
Though I think, because the progaming scandal DID affect STX Soul, I think their morale isn't as high as it can be, and I think this will give SKT a slight mental advantage going into this.

Most of this is based on the last few games of each player. Kal lost to Jangbi too, who I would say is worse than Best. Clam lost 9 of his last 10 games as well, which is not good. hero lost to Tyson, Stork, and Movie, all of who are worse than Bisu. Although hero vs Best might be a problem.
what are the penalty points listed in http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/2009/10_Shinhan_Proleague_Results#Team_Standings? 4 matches left for Khan, 3 for CJ, CJ has a decisive lead in set differential. basically only chance for CJ to drop is if Khan wins goes 4-0/3-1 and CJ goes 1-2/0-3. also pretty lulz that KT and STX are 1-5 and 1-6 so far this round
