SKT will play their second match of the round against STX, also playing their second game, and this will definitely be one of the most entertaining series of the week, and with good games, all BW fans win. The Winners' League is the haven of one-man teams like KT, and more so of Oz, unlike regular Proleague. The two rounds of WL are a welcome change to teams suffering from the Bo7 format of 2010-2011. Their teams are already doing far worse than before since ace matches come rarely now and, on the other hand, teams with a number of good players prosper, to the benefit of the team of Bisu. When ace matches come 27% of the time rather than 40% of the time, it is pretty clear why it is difficult for teams that are heavily reliant on a single ace to win all the time, since the fact is that the chances of two weaker players winning to get to ace is hard when up against players like Sea, Best, or Leta, who usually perform in PL. Anti-fans of such teams, mocking their plight, often say 'lol ezpz. U suk' when the team falls to their own.

STX vs SKT will not feature a fight between one-man teams, we all know quite well that neither team is dependent entirely on their ace for winning when each team has a lineup better than the, frankly, garbage lineup of Perfectman/BackHo/Princess/Killer/Hiya/Sky or Hoejja/Violet/Stats/Suny/Barracks and an ace, which will always have trouble outside of WL. And when the ace has a bad game, teams will often fall, but these two are the best at still pulling out the win after the ace loses. We will surely get some nice games from each of the players today, and I'm sure no one would like SKT/STX to be 4-0'd and make us lose some possibly great games, which is what I want to see more than anything.
By the way, what would be the best thing that could happen in this series? Would you like to see Hyuk draw his sword, showing us hilarity or brilliance? Maybe you're a fan of Fantasy vs Calm, Clam or fail bio control giving us something great? Maybe you just like star power, so Fantasy vs Kal and Bisu vs Calm/Kal would be nice. Any of these could happen today.

And now, predictions.
(P)By.Sun <Circuit Breaker> (P)Shuttle
(P)By.Sun <Bloody Ridge> (Z)Calm
(T)Fantasy <Empire of the Sun> (Z)Calm
(P)BeSt <Fortress> (Z)Calm
(P)Bisu <La Mancha> (Z)Calm
(P)Bisu <Icarus> (P)Kal

On a final note, beware of the dangers of reading too quickly lest the meaning is lost in a mass of irrelevant text. Perhaps when read with caution, the truth will be revealed to you.

+ Show Spoiler [the road of STX SouL] +
Yet another day of Proleague is upon us, and we have STX and SKT facing off with each other tonight. I must admit, tonight's games excite me, not only because of the naturally good games we have come to expect from watching STX destroy SKT, but also because of the potential for an OSL preview in Calm vs. fantasy.

Coming into this game, STX is obviously the superior team. With Calm and Modesty (eliminating teammate Kal in the what was probably the best Ro8 series) both gunning for an OSL gold, and Calm and Kal alive and well in MSL, fantasy and Bisu's pathetic single league positions pale in comparison. The precious Bisu, lord and savior of SKT, is one game away from being destroyed by a far superior Protoss, Stork, and fantasy will never win an OSL, just like Bisu. We can probably see a preview of how Calm will dismantle fantasy in tonight's game.

Indeed, with Kal looking strong, Calm on a resurgence, and Modesty the rising talent, complemented by STX's obscenely solid backup team of Shuttle, hero (Bisu slayer extradonnaire), and Bogus, STX is in great position to dominate the competition. The loss to Khan was unfortunate, but irrelevant in the long run. SKT failed to KTFlash, with Best and Bisu both getting manhandled. Both teams are at 1 loss right now, but unfortunately for SKT, that will soon become 2 losses.

Honestly, anyone on STX will probably all-kill SKT, but in the event that we fall asleep at the computer and lose a few games, here's how it's going to go down:

Calm vs. fantasy will, hopefully, open the night on Circuit Breaker (ssak is a possibility). If Calm wins (and he will), one of the SKT Protosses will come out on Bloody Ridge. Assuming it's not Sun (whom Calm will dismantle), Best or Bisu stand a chance at taking out Calm who's practicing mainly ZvT. Best has atrocious PvZ, so we might see some SKT fanboy orgasms as Bisu is sent out on BR. Assuming he wins with some dumb proxy gate stupidity, he can probably expect a second PvP on Empire of the Sun, which Best will come out on if Bisu loses. Regardless, Shuttle should dismantle any SKT Protoss on Empire of the Sun, and whichever SKT Terran didn't play in set 1, fantasy or ssak, will come out on Fortress, in the hopes of wining and then riding the La Mancha Terran imba. I can see a SKT Zerg coming out on Icarus, and he will probably be dispatched by Modesty if he manages to score a win. And in the end, we still have Kal, our ace in the hole, left to clean up anyone SKT has.

STX fighting!

Pretty damn unorthodox ZvZ, with nice defences, spore colonies, unorthodox builds and subsequent demolishing. I think you might want to watch it once.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 2] +
Really great game with a bit questionable decisions, but overall very enjoyable. Definite yes.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 3] +
One bad mistake decided the entire game. Nothing really recommendation worthy, IMO, regardless of what the poll says.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 4] +
Pretty good game from one player at least. A mistake is all you need to die in a mirror match and the loser did one. Your mileage may vary, I'd say maybe if you have time, but not surely recommended.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 5] +
Total domination. I'd lean towards no, but only because I thought no player showed anything spectacular.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 6] +
Game of the month worthy, watch it!.

+ Show Spoiler [Game 7] +
Worst game of the players career. And the other player played badly as well. Only in SC players can go from so good to so bad in a matter of a game.

I really don't know what to do. Conceding the post seems like the honorable and lawful thing to do, but I'm really sad about breaking my 2 round long streak of STX LR threads, and I put a lot of effort into this one.

Aww, I think it's completely (T)Bogus that you're so (Z)Modesty like that, (Z)Calm down this was just a (T)Classic case of the awesome fanboy hype at work. It's great that people are showing that much interest in starting up high quality LR threads, you're a (Z)hero to everyone who supports STX.

(T)Lastly, grats on 2000th post, gogo STX gimmeh my Modesty points

EDIT: Looks really weird having Bogus representing STX vs Bisu, that laughing Kal one in the other banner would be sweet on the kaspra banner. Then again, hoping for Bogus to kill some anti-teams so go him too!

No problems dude, being bored ftw.

JD won for me yesterday for my 250th post so I hope STX does for you too, snipe some of them SKT Zergs Modesty. And as I mentioned in my edit, I have a healthy respect for Bogus, he's grown so much since GOM Classic season 2, respect enough to not put him in my anti.

I had planned on doing MSL Ro16 Day 3 and OSL Ro4 Day 1 threads. Going to write some content on the Fantasy/Calm match up, but I have a feeling that doing a write-up on Calm would be easier for you than for me.

Let me know if you feel like collaborating. (b'.')b And thanks for the banner include.

You can have it if a mod wants to axe mine. I wasn't going to pass up a SKT thread, but I see it's something of a special occasion. I've no choice but to concede!

I feel bad about this. Honestly, I do. There is no happy solution to it. Sorry I stole your thread, I'm just so used that I'm always the one who does STX threads.


It's cool man. If I'm going to start sniping SKT threads it's only fair I leave STX to an STX fan. Not much I can do about mine other than direct traffic here and request a close though.

You are such an awesome guy. I'll repost your banner as an extra as a small form of repentance and maybe I can help you hype up a different thread at some point in time.


I had planned on doing MSL Ro16 Day 3 and OSL Ro4 Day 1 threads. Going to write some content on the Fantasy/Calm match up, but I have a feeling that doing a write-up on Calm would be easier for you than for me.

Let me know if you feel like collaborating. (b'.')b And thanks for the banner include.

I would be very happy to do the Calm writeup for you. I'll make it good to make up for today.

I hope they'll send Bisu first. He needs to revenge from Bogus, and except Kal nobody can stop him in STX.

BISU FOR AK !

My predictions:

(P)By.Sun < (Z)Calm
Coach Park continues his tradition of sending strange picks for the first game by giving Sun the task of being SKT's vanguard. Unfortunately, his opponent is Calm, and mollusks, despite being relatively harmless in nature (just assuming since I have no idea how they behave), this one happily devours its prey. Sun-esque fail in this game is optional.

(P)Bisu > (Z)Calm
Calm faces another opponent from SKT whose name begins with B. However, this opponent has an "i" instead of "y" and no "n" in his name, unlike the last one. So Calm, having already expended all of his mollusk-rage, rolls over and dies. Unless Calm can hold off Bisu's first wave of speedlots I don't see how he's going to fare well here.

(P)Bisu < (T)Bogus
With the map Empire of the Sun and Sun, ironically unavailable for summon, Coach Park starts to have bad premonitions for this match. True, as Bisu's atrocious PvT rears its ugly head, Bogus turtles on 3 bases and proceeds to steamroll the bee. Also, references to their MSL encounter and Testudinidae-hate rage are optional, but if they happen I won't be surprised.

(P)BeSt > (T)Bogus
Fortress is a macro map. Best is good at macro. Bogus's is not as good as Best's.

(P)BeSt < (Z)Modesty
Modesty, still on fire from the teamkill, decides he won't be modest in this match and indecently exposes Best to the definition of Zerg ghey-ness, even though Best is already mediocre at PvZ and does not deserve such treatment.

(T)Fantasy > (Z)Modesty
It's Icarus again but Fantasy is very prepared this time. Modesty's find his mutalisks less-than-useful and inevitably loses his crucial keys to stay in the game. Fantasy buzzkills Modesty and stands before door to victory for SKT.

(T)Fantasy > (P)Kal
Kal attempts a reaver harass but loses at least 1 reaver, and then forgets how to protect his expansions properly from the Terrorists. Fantasy, on the other hand, safely takes 3 bases and achieves the critical amount of material needed to form a Terran wrecking ball of death. Kal, despite having advanced Protoss technology, fails to prevent the inevitable triumph of the simpler, but much more rugged human technology. It's Benzene after all, and to be honest, this map is a Protoss graveyard simply because they weren't the ones who discovered the molecular formula for it.

Final score: SKT 4-3 STX. Though STX is a strong team that has been proven during the first 2 rounds I think their prowess in the WL format hovers above ACE just a little bit.

Optional prediction: Bisu vs by.hero which hero wins. Hilarity ensues.
