Simply go here and you'll see that the games are today, 21:00, Korean time / tomorrow, ~8:00AM, Eastern Standard Time. WCG is turtling for me =p Besides that I trust fomos just as much.  Thanks for the info! | ||

I know Elky did lose to Blackman, which shows that the "invincible" aura can be defeated. But until it happens, I don't think you can in good conscience predict that it will fall before it actually happens. That said, if Nony wins it would, imo, be a huge statement and allow him to absolutely hit the ground running when he gets to Korea. | ||

It's one of those matchups that you just don't expect to lose against a foreigner, and often good enough to give the koreans a run for their money. Historically, some other matchups I'd consider around the same level (at their primes obv) would be Testie's PvT, Draco's PvT, Elky's TvZ.

At the same time, I think the cadre of US zergs would agree that PvZ is NonY's best matchup. I'm looking forward to a good series. | ||

Yea the best zvp but what happened in the game vs stork in the last wcg? he survived for like 5 or 6 minutes? | ||

I guess the fact that Mondi isn't playing as much should favor Nony but that has also been claimed in years past, and I don't recall his results suffering much. I think I just try to temper my expectations of players who are active in the TL community in general, because obviously they have more friends here who support them. I think I recall Eriador calling Rekrul's PvT like top 5 in the world or something. I don't think he was trying to mislead us, as he strikes me as a decent guy, but when Rekrul went to Korea he was just getting raped left and right, even in his best matchup. | ||

Only (attention!) 180 (one-hundred-eighty) games in 4 (four) days. I mean - REALLY? It would take me a month to play this amount of games. SICK. one game = approximately 15 minutes 180 games = 45 hours Hence, he was training 11 hours every day. | ||
