Results + Show Spoiler +Daezang < Special
Ovskey > Zero
Ace > Hanbit
Rage < Guemchi
Boxer > Free - serously go watch this game, boxer locksdown an arb trying to recall and well its just epic, go watch
3-2 ACE Wins!!!
How to watch
- Yaoyuan should work, with some delay to the Daum stream. Works only in IE and requires the TVAnts plugin (dl here)
- If you have a good connection, use the Daum player (guide here); it has both OGN and MBC, but might buffer every few seconds. If you receive an error message, changing the streaming room is said to help.

I think this is one of the most interesting upcoming matchups because it really could go either way.
Here are my predictions:
+ Show Spoiler +Hanbit Stars < Air Force ACE
Special[S.G] < DaezanG - DaezanG's is pretty unpredictable, but when he's on he's on.
ZerO < OversKy - ZerO has been absolutely horrific, but because it is ZvZ he has a shot, but a very limited one. Besides Oversky beat Jaedong not to long ago with great ling micro and ZerO's micro has been highly suspect.
Child/aSam > fOru/Clon - Hanbits 2v2 isn't that bad, like Scaramanga pointed out. I think this one is a coinflip as well, so I'll go out on a limb and say fOru and Clon will find a way to take it.
3-0 ACE wins!
|
Hmm, no REach of Silent_Control yet.
But ACE for 3-0!
|
Surprisingly experimental lineup for Hanbit, they refuse to place either Free or Guemchi in the first two matches is unusual for them. Ace has a very good chance of a 3:0 here, particularly given foru/clon seem more convincing than a Hanbit team without Max.
|
Im gonna go out on a limb and say 3:0 to Ace
|
omg, ace are like serbs with those 3 fingers :D

ACE 3:0.
Hanbit, lube up. It's gonna be a rough one.
|
At what time does the broadcast start?
|
Calender says it's starting now.
|
Wow, ACE will be above two teams if they win this! I didn't even realize that until it showed the stats just now.

Special goes 1 fact expand
Daezang goes 1 gate expand and a robo produced
Daezang also built a zealot, but my stream skipped around too much for me to see what he's doing.
Special starting his 2nd factory, Daezang has built a obs and a support bay.
|
why isnt anyone making a thread for the other proleague match up going on?
|
Special has 2 speed vults, 5 tanks, and a bunch of marines.
Daezang looks for a place to drop, but is well protected by turrets.
Special retreats with his force.
Both players looking to take their min only
|
Daezang drops at main, kills a moderate amount of SCV with reaver and zealot
Special nearly kills the shuttle with the goliath, but daezang notices
Special does a vult harass at Daezang's main, daezang kills it with goons.
Special taking his min only, Daezang has taken his min only.
|
I feel so bad for free. Him and Upmagic need to move a team that can help improve their game better. Maybe merge OGN with eStro and Hanbit.
|
Special adding 2 facts for a total of 4.
Daezang has 4 gates, looking to take 5, Special's min only has finished.
Special adds a second armor, neither players doing much currently, except macroing.
Daezang's 5 has finished, protected with cannons, scouted by Special.
Daezang for some reason sends all his forces back to protect against the single vult scout by special
|
Special unseiges his takes at his min only, moves it to the hill.
Daezang engages, loses his shuttle.
Both sides lose a considerable amount of forces, special left with about 5 tanks.
Special setting up seige above the valley in the middle, has about 8 or 9 facts
Special taking 11.
|
Special drops at Daezangs natural, but doesn't do anything due to a shuttle dropping a goon, and cannon being there.
Special drops at main, kills a couple of probes
Special takes 12, Daezang attacks with DTs.
Daezang then attacks 11 with DTs, kills a couple of SCV
Daezang taking 6
Daezang has arbiters, Special has a Vessel. Special pushing into Daezang's half of the map.
|
i see huge clump of red in the middle of the map. It is 5 base vs 5 base right now i believe...
|
1-2 ups for Special, 1-0-1 ups for Daezang.
Daezang quickly goes and tries to break the push that Special was doing, by moving zeals and goons up the space between specials nat and Daezang's hill
Daezang loses all of his forces, Special loses a lot of his tanks
Special being cute and dropping vults and tanks.
Daezang tries to recall, by ends up with facing a turret forest
|
just a matter of time before daeszang loses... anyways
why does special always have that O_O look on him?
|
Special then seiges into Daezangs area.
Daezang then pushes up it, and he statis's a bunch of tanks
Daezang kills a lot of special's forces, but loses all of his.
Daezang has no ground force, special pushing down to 6.
|
ok wat i see is daezang having like 100 supply while that terran have 200/200 from the looks from it...
gg any moment now?
|
Special kills 6, Daezang tried to do some mine dragging, but too late.
In the mean time, Daezang tries to counter by attacking with a couple of zeals up to 12, but its too little
Special moving with a huge ball into Daezang's min only, GG should be coming soon.

Special simply Attack moving into Daezang's territory.
Who needs siege?
|
This has been happening to Daezang a lot when he faces terrans. His ability to break pushes is gone.
|
Daezang loses min only
Special taking out his 5.
Daezang stops the min only army by statis, but is still losing his expo at 5.
Daezang resorting to long distance mining of min only
Special takes 6.
Special has a huge turret forest.
Somehow, daezang refuses to GG.
|
|
|
he ggs.... after he is left with his main and nat only. Anyways GJ TO THE TERRAN :D
|
If you guys want to see "finally" GG watch Much vs. Jaedong, loser stayed so long, almost to elimination.
|
Something about protoss these days. Actually, gamers stay on longer nowadays. And I remember seeing a thread on this a few weeks ago.

Yeah, I watched that. This was slightly earlier, but still very late.
I think it was an issue of macro for daezang. Every time he went and tried to break the push, he never seemed to have any units left, at all.
Replay shows that Daezang had to kill a gate way due to poor building placement, which seems to be a reason why some of the drops special did were more effective then they should have been.
|
Daezang should really play more to his strengths instead of letting terrans take a free ride into a macro game.
He can do a lot of damage early game with his outstanding goon micro. I dislike this pattern of protosses relying so heavily on effective reaver harass - It's quickly becoming predictable that most tosses will go 1-gate expand with reavers.

Oversky vs Zero on Andromeda
Oversky Brown@11
Zero Blue@5
|
Oversky sends his ovie the right direction, Zero does not.
Zero going 9 pool
Oversky all of sudden changes the direction of his ovie and moves it towards the middle for some reason.
Oversky goes 12 pool.
Oversky makes another hatchery
Oversky now tells his ovie to go towards zero's base.
THIS FOOLS ZERO ENOUGH THAT ZERO GOES TO THE WRONG BASE
|
Zero realizes that he's been had, and oversky now sends 6 lings to zero's base, and the 6 lings that zero has sent to oversky's base does nothing because oversky places a sunken, but oversky's lings don't do much due to the building placement.
Zero starts his second hatchery, built his spire earlier.
|
Zero's spire is up
Oversky's spire is still building.
3 mutas out for zero, kills a scouting ling.
mutas kill an ovie.
4 scourage, 3 mutas out for oversky.

AHAHAHA, just saw the face of Zero when his lings get to wrong spot! GOLD! (I'm a bite behind on yaoyuan so I can't really live report... )
|
edit:whoa, how'd this post repost like 3 post of mine later?
weird.
|
The screen has gone black one yaoyuan :S
|
Stream comes back, shows a large muta/scourage fight, seems like oversky was on the losing end of it, as he poorly micros his mutas, and loses a few, but they only showed him, so the same might could be said of zero.
Both zergs are playing awfully defensive on Andromeda, but I don't know how ZvZ's go on this map in the first place
lol@ scouting scourage in zero's base, zero mistargets it and shoots his vespene gas.
Large muta clouds there now.
|
oh whoops, missed oversky expoing to 11, and zero starting an expo at 5.
Both players scout it.
Oversky sends a line of lings to attack the new expo.
HUGE MUTA FIGHT RIGHT NOW, MUTAS DYING ALL OVER THE PLACE, OVERSKY SEEMS to be on lsoing end.
Oversky goes for reinforcements, now has more mutas
Zero loses 5.
Oversky is definitely ahead!

Zero losing 5 was crucial in his ability to match muta production. Not securing that third gas cost him dearly.
|
awww, positions are bad for ACE in the 2v2
11 and 3 vs 7 and 10.
|
|
|
oh wow, ACE wins it.
Surprised that Hanbit took that long to GG though.
2:1 ACE.
|
Things are looking up for ace! Hopefully, I will lose at this liquibet.
Those proxy gateways really didn't pay off for Hanbit.
|
Colosseum
Rage Green @7
Guemchi Red@11
|
|
|
Both scout each other.
Rage goes 2 gate
Guemchi goes 1 gate
Rage goes with 3 zeals, finds 3 zeals at guemchi's base, goes in with 5 zeals, against 3 zeals one goon.
rage loses most of his offending zeals, I don't think he did enough damage for it to be worth it, Guemchi now has 3 goons, while Rage is behind in tech.
whoops, I'm sorry.
|
Guemchi goes a single gate before gas, Rage 2gates.
|
Three zealots out for Rage, heading towards guemchi's base.
|
Guemchi attacks with 4 goons, finds 5 goons there. Kills a goon, Loses a goon, he retreats
Guemchi expanding to his natural.
Rage moves his goons to outside Guemchi's nat, but has yet to expand.
|
Rage and Guemchi trade zealots, Rage gets a probe kill or two, loses more zealots than Guemchi.
|
Rage looks like he's been cutting probes pretty heavily.
|
This is over, Rage sucks. How do you have less bases and less units?
|
Many goons die on both sides, but Guemchi is most definitely ahead after that, as Rage has no force, is behind on tech and goons, and has not expanded yet.
Observers out for Guemchi.
Rage now is containing guemchi outside of his base, with cannons but Guemchi then probe drills Rage's goons before his cannons warp in, and attacks with goons, Rage GGs.
|
Let's see some BOXER for ace!
|
Free for ace
Man, ACE is screwed.
|
Looks like Boxer vs. GuemChi
EDIT: Yeah I get my protosses confused sometimes.

Free Brown@5

0.o
Boxer seems like he's talking to himself.
|
Boxer walls, ops for a 1 fact expand
free goes reaver
Free blocks ramp, boxer cannot see what free is doing
Ebay is up for boxer, turrets are going up.
|
S class tank micro for BoxeR there 
|
Free drops his 2 zeals and reaver, and KILLS NOTHING.
Boxer defends perfectly with his two tanks, and shuttle gets taken out by turrets with reaver in it
Free looks distraught after wards.
Boxer adding 3 facts(4 facts total), Free adding another gate for 2, has another shuttle out.
|
Free tries to outmicro boxer
Free fails miserably
|
free ready to drop again, but boxer has a turret ring up.
Boxer may have spot the shuttle flying past his vults that were going to harass, hard to tell.
Turret fires at shuttle a little bit, Boxer, and free are both going for the third.
Shuttle is chilling by a SCV building a turret, then he drops on top of a couple of vults
Boxer goes and harrasses with vults, but not very sucessful.
|
That tank micro was amazing. It looked like his turret was under the ebay, but my stream was freezing. Is it there? When is it not legal?
|
Free expoing to 6.
BOXER GOING FOR NUKE, maybe?
Boxer builds CC looking to float over to his min only.
Boxer drops in free's main, seems to do decent damage.

Ebay hides the turret by floating over it. Its perfectly fine.

Boxer getting ghosts?????
|
Boxer drops in free's main, takes out ton of probes.
|
Boxer drops 6 , it does pretty good damage.
Free pushes his way up to Boxer's min only, but it takes a lot of effort.
Free expos to 11, Boxer knows about this.
Boxer making ghosts.
Arbs out for free.
|
Boxer preparing to cliff Free's fourth
|
Boxer has a big ball of tanks/vults
Free looking to push up to the min only.
Boxer push's down the middle, and free then attacks, statis the tanks there, but boxer doesn't care.
Boxer is attacking Free's third, and now his nat.
Free continues his push, there is no way either player can defend what the other is doing.
|

Boxer is losing his third, has a nice ball out side of free's nat, needs to pull units back to defend.
Boxer actually pulling units to attack 11.
Nice mine placement takes out 3 wandering goons.
Boxer should have this.

k, so free only has his main.
Free is probably looking to break out by recall.
FREE's arbiter gets LOCKDOWN'd , CROWD GOES NUTS.
Free then is trying to push out by amoving.
|
Free looks completely hopeless, yet still refuses to GG.
|
omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

|
Free scratches his head for a good 3 seconds, then GGs.
He looks really sad.

|
nope that was his 2nd finger haha
|
I was hoping to see a nuke. Maybe as punishment for taking so long to GG... why did free take so long, btw?
|
haha, the crowd went absolutely insane with the lockdown! ACE FTW!

No idea, it seems like a new trend to take forever to GG.
Anyways, the commentators just showed boxer micro of defending shuttles on slow mo, and then the lockdown on slow motion!
|
|
|
SlayerS`BoxeR` showing true genius with ghost in anticipation of lockdown! Showing that true dominance comes from ancient and proven genius from years at the top. No one is worthy of his greatness!
|
|
|
|
|
I had a feeling Ace would take this, but this was pretty insane.
|
This is the kind of stuff that still can only come from the mind of Boxer.
Sexy ghost usage like that makes me drool.
|
Wow, the predictions were pretty spot on in the OP, except for Daezang and the 2v2, the Ace match was predicted perfectly.

I don't think so. Most BoxeR games were mineral-sliding vultures, ninja buildings (THEYRE NOT PROXIES!), bunker rushes and crazy dropship tactics

nono u misunderstood 90% of the games with ghosts are from boxer, not 90% of boxer's games are ghost

It is always wonderful to see Boxer bust out the class, even if it had to be at Free's sake : (.

looks like he really needed this win to boost his ego again :D

The Emperor is back, biatches! It's awesome how he can still pull out that little move/detail that becomes great fan service, and still make it useful and not just for show. I can't wait for him to go back to SKT and train in better conditions.

Btw, you can watch the matches streaming from yaoyuan without TV ants, they are posted on youku.com (the link is listed along with all the other media) which seems to be a chinese version of youtube.
