OMG are we gonna see Rock in a Final Four?? LOL that would be so awesomely funny.
Go Rock~ You deserve one final four... just cuz... He's the best "consistant" non former champion toss ever.

nada must also go through the winner of rock and GF and anytime must go through IRIS, then they would play in the finals.

I must admit that I am shaken by Gorush's loss, especially given all the energy I spent arguing that Gorush is a ZvP star and that ZvP is his strongest matchup. A part of me whishes I had stayed up all the way to see the game and try and figure out what was going through Gorush's head, but by the sounds of it not enough was. I still think Anytime is over-hyped. If he were not a champion, nobody would give two shits about him, or at least that is what I feel. His record is that of a very average player, not only overall but in every matchup (about 50% wins in every matchup) and he very often doesn't make it look pretty when he plays. His great talent is his ability to devise preset strategies revolving around unique build orders. It's a good talent, but he's no Ra by any stretch of the imagination. I guess people just like him because they think he is a great toss hope since he happened to come on during an era when toss was at a low, yet far more impressive I think was Reach's desperate hang on as the lone toss player doing anything at all back two years ago, or Ra standing up and giving a speech in support of Protoss players after a major league win during a time where few toss players were having any success at all.

NaDa against Zergman was a sound victory. NaDa won with pure SK Terran over lurk/hydra macro. I DID see that live and it was impressive.

GF...you knock out Bisu for this kind of a performance? How dare you.

Actually I used to like Gorush's ZvP style a lot more. Back when he'd won his last 20ish ZvP, he used to play a bit like July plays now, being really aggressive overall, going mutalisks pretty often, etc. Nowadays he almost always plays a kind of extremely safe "mass-expand-while-passive" style which doesn't work nearly as well for him (even though his record is still decent, but he hasn't faced many big names lately, until yesterday). I guess he was influenced a lot by Rumble/Mumyung since that's precisely how they play the matchup.

Anytime is overhyped imho.. look all his wins this season (especially the pvz's) none of those games really impressed me and every game seemed like the zerg had done something incredibly stupid -.- that being said gorush hasnt really been impressive of late so i did vote anytime and get my point, but still... his game against casy is one of the finest examples of really substandard play for a "S-Class" gamer.
I agree that his strength seems to be exploiting a good build (innovation too) but after So1 we really didnt see much change from him really, all his games thus far have been reletively standard... although imo he has top class execution which certainly helps.
I still think that StorK has been the "best" out of the 3 neo-toss kings (although pusans 4th/3rd is not bad), and has produced some EPIC pvz games that simply leave anytimes games for dead (i.e Stork vs Gorush PL Final, Stork vs Savior PL Semifinal (savior game is less widely known but is epic nonetheless)). And to top it all off, stork's pvz is considered his WEAK mu... (his pvt/pvp is frightening... pvp especially).
i just REALLY hope for a nada anytime final and have nada rape the living shit out of him for what he did to boxer.... and then nada will get a golden mouse!
or anytime will win and he will be known as the greatest kill joy of all time
