+ Show Spoiler [Match 2] + EssBee 4-1 Mass From what I've seen of both players, EssBee is the better player. Well-rounded, good macro, good timings. Mass relies on early ling aggression in his games - a pattern that EssBee is sure to be aware of. When Mass's ling aggression gets denied, he sort of crumbles due to the fact that he spent early larva on ineffectual lings and his mid/late game play is weaker overall. Thus I predict that a cheese from Mass will take one game from EssBee but EssBee won't let it happen again and will win a sound victory. + Show Spoiler [Match 3] + Nikon 4-2 Aeghrur Although I would say that Aeghrur is the better player overall, perhaps the best in this series of showmatches, he truly is bad at ZvZ. He always says so, and unfortunately it is true. In my opinion this is because he is a management player with a super-solid late game; his skills do not translate to ZvZ too well. I feel bad for him that he will have to play his worst MU in this series because I would have loved to see him in season 2 against a P or T. I don't have much information on Nikon's ZvZ but he is a strong player, so I expect his ZvZ to be better than Aeghrur's despite the fact that Aeghrur is probably better in the other 2 matchups. I think if Aeghrur invests a lot of effort in refining his ZvZ he might have a chance, but as is I give it to Nikon. | ||

Nikon will 4-0 or 4-1 Aeghrur, no offense to aeghrur's skill... but Nikon's ZvZ is far superior. | ||

Whaaa?? I turned my stream online and then associated it with the event. It should have had the stream just underneath the event. I'll have to figure this out next time. Weird. | ||

It was great initiative putting it on calendar in the first place, once you figure this out it will be even more on point. | ||
