On second thought, I'm probably going too far with the job review assumption, but I thought I very clearly saw a period of friction and jockeying for position that has been smoothed over somewhat. | ||

He's friends with Tasteless, but he hates some things that Tasteless does (Panda Bear Guy) and sometimes wants to tell the guy to shut up. Nevertheless, Daniel's tough-guy act (backed up by the apparent fact that he's jacked, so Tasteless knows Daniel could kick his ass) is cover for an ultimately kind and caring dude. Daniel's probably involved to some extent with Tasteless' job reviews at GOM (i.e. "Hey Korean dudes at GOM, here's how your experiment with hiring honkeys to cast Starcraft is going, since you sure don't understand English enough to know whether he's doing a good job or just dicking around!"), so it's kind of a delicate situation. Tasteless is playing it safe and accepting Daniel's social dominance after a period a little while back where the hierarchy was in question (around the time of "monkey milk"), which is probably a good choice all things considered. Let's see how things unfold! edit: Regarding the game, OH NO ZERO  First of all, you over think things. Secondly, SDM's second language is english, so social undertones you think are telling signs of personality could just be considered, 'the thought process and attitude' of someone who is not speaking their primary language. Thirdly, you seem to be under the impression that SDM has more pull in GOM than tasteless, which we don't know to be true. Tasteless is a career caster that got hired by GOM not an experiment. Tasteless has the job, this is the 3rd season of the GOM classic with english commentary plus several other tournaments where tasteless has been on the pay roll. The majority have not involved SDM in any way... Fourthly, Blizzard are now a large part of what GOM does, and blizzard has been using tasteless long before GOM picked him up. I think you are constructing this delicate situation in your head, there is just as much evidence that you are completely wrong. Edit: In conclusion, GOM should be using artosis and tasteless as their primary english casters. | ||

Edit:forgot Jaedong and Much didnt play yet  .Edit2: keep correcting my mistakes T_T I'm actually pretty excited about those matches. Flash vs Shuttle - I really like both players, but Shuttle has to be my favorite player, and as the players recently met, I'm sure that if Shuttle were to come out on top, it would me a lot to him. sKyHigh vs July is actually the match I'm least excited about, though sKyHigh is probably my favorite CJ player. I think that he has a ton of talent, he's just been really[ sloppy lately, in the games that I've seen. That said, I'll still be cheering for sKyHigh.Jaedong vs Much - Of course I think Jaedong will take it, but who doesn't love Grandpa Toss?Violet vs EffOrt - Two players who have been excellent lately. I think this will be a beastly set, hopefully with EffOrt coming out on top.Jaedong vs EffOrt (hopefully) - They met not too long ago, and they're meeting again soon. One or two games doesn't necessarily determine the better players, so a boX (is ro8 5, or still 3?) is exciting. Hoping EffOrt, but sadly I think Jaedong is still the better player at the moment.Iris vs Tempest - I really like Iris, and Tempest has been the underdog almost this entire tourney. If they had met in the Ro16, I would have given it to Iris without a doubt, but I think Tempest could definitely put up a fight. | ||

How can you root against July zerg, I'm pretty sure that is punishable by death in a few countries. | ||
