what do you base this baseless assumption on? Hmm, yeah. 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.

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.

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.

July's ZvT is pretty awful unless he wants to win (i.e vs oov, Gillette 2004).

His ZvT is pretty awful, but hes also mother fucking July. It does seem that when hes motivated hes the best player on earth, TBH he seems pretty burned out these days.

Why did so many people vote Zero...?

Tempest > Zero is an upset? lol
Maybe two months ago, but not against this Zero.

I guess tempest doesnt have much else to prepare for.

To those confused about betting ZerO over Tempest: ZerO impressively manhandled IrOn and Kal to get here, which were his most recent PvZ matches. Before Tempest played JiHyun in GOM he lost to Calm, Juni, and Roro in pl.

whoops! I fall asleep during the last game and look what happens.

Tempest is so bad at PvZ, but he manages to somehow win those series that actually kinda matter, like when he destroyed Jaedong, and now Zero.
But Zero played terrible today. So inconsistent.

Zero has been playing terribly since JWD had added him to the PR. :p
