Hm, most of the games weren't all that great. The best two would be Calm vs MVP and Free vs Modesty. Calm vs MVP didn't feature particularly solid play from either player, but it was a really entertaining, back and forth mech TvZ with great use of mutas and very nice vulture harass. Free vs Modesty was a sligthly above average ZvP with good play from both players. ZvPs are almost always awesome to watch, especially the ones that hit lategame on fairly even footing (like this one). Of the 2 games though, I'd pick Calm vs MVP.
Finally a thread for GSM that is actually early :D!
Hoping to see Kal today, hopefully. But will probably see Bogus and Trap warming up for the Shanghai event.

It's Bo7 All-Kill format. Each team fight to climb the ladder where the first ranked team in the last PL season is already seeded into the finals. The second best team is seeded into semi-finals, etc. Woonjing was ranked fairly low and has beaten several teams (already seeded) already.
I should probably look for a picture of the tournament format.

Two teams play against each other in a Winner's League format (Winner of game 1 plays in game 2, and so on). The winning team advances to face the next team. Woongjin won yesterday against MBC so they advance. I have no idea what particular order you have to face the teams, but I'm gonna assume it has to do with your proleague ranking.

You know who else is going to the event? July and TossGirl :D. Hoping to see them too.

Same format as WL, team BO7, winner stays, losing team sends next player up. Any player for the team can play in the ace match regardless if he already played that day or not.
Winning team moves on to play the next team. Woongjin just keeps winning, thats why they come back.

almost, but SKT got seeded in the finals of this tournament as the reigning champions, KT and STX got knocked one spot down. Meaning the winner of this game will play KT, the winner of that one will play SKT in the finals
Considering the way the Stars are playing right now, and considering the way STX is playing right now, I feel that this is fairly easy to predict. Zero is on his way to S class
