[OSL] Bacchus OSL 2009 Ro16 Day 4

EffOrt (vs. Zerg 66.67%) 0 - 2 (vs. Zerg 48.10%) YellOw[ArnC]

Effort is on a 2 game losing streak vs. Zerg, but he was on a 6 game winning streak before he met Jaedong and YellOw[ArnC]. YellOw[ArnC] is on a 2 game winning streak against Zerg.

If EffOrt loses, then Jaedong and YellOw[ArnC] advance to the Ro8.

fantasy (vs. Zerg 51.28%) 1 - 0 (vs. Terran 69.23%) type-b

fantasy is on a 9 game winning streak, but in that streak, only 1 win was against a Zerg, OversKy. Before his game against OversKy, he dropped the last two games against Zerg (vs. Calm and Hogil). type-b has not played a A/S class Terran since his previous loss to fantasy 10 games ago.

If type-b wins, it is highly likely that he'll advance to the Ro8 since he can probably roll over BackHo. If fantasy wins, a three way tie is possible if he loses to Stork.

go.go (vs. Zerg 52.63%) 0 - 1 (vs. Terran 49.18%) ZerO

Only go.go is coming into tonight's OSL off of a loss. The last game that he won was against HyuN, which contributed to HyuN's 10 game losing streak. The game before he lost against GoRush, which broke GoRush's 6 game losing streak against Terran. ZerO is coming into this game with the worst overall record of all 8 players. He is on a 3 game winning streak against Terran.

Regardless of whoever wins, ZerO vs. Bisu is going to be a pivotal game.

by.hero (vs. Zerg 54.55%) 0 - 0 (vs. Zerg 60.00%) Kwanro

by.hero is on a 5 game winning streak against 5 different Zerg players. Kwanro is 7-3 in his last 10 ZvZs.

If Kwanro loses, he'll have to beat Leta to stay in the game.

EffOrt < Return of the King > YellOw[ArnC]

EffOrt is 0-2 against YellOw[ArnC], but I think the key difference in this encounter between the two is the map. EffOrt generally does better in ZvZ on larger maps, while YellOw[ArnC] specializes in 2 player maps such as Battle Royal and Destination. EffOrt's beaten Jaedong before, he can beat YellOw[ArnC].

fantasy < Holy World SE > type-b

Bonjwa Note or not, fantasy is going to win this one. Although statistically type-b has a 69% win rate against Terran, he's dropped games to all decent Terrans such as fantasy and Upmagic. fantasy on the other hand has learned a shiny new valkyrie + mnm build and will probably put that to good use on Holy World SE since Holy World is pretty bad for mech.

go.go < Outsider > ZerO

Although go.go recently demolished a certain Protoss player, I don't really think it was particularly great play by go.go, more of fail play by the certain Protoss player. ZerO on the other hand is coming off of wins against sKyHigh and Hwasin. Zergs have also started to figure out what to do on Outsider, so I don't think that go.go stands a chance.

by.hero < Heartbreak Ridge > Kwanro

by.hero has great ZvZ. Definitely not on par with a lot of S class Zergs, but it's definitely better than Kwanro's. Since the map is Heartbreak, the game is probably going to come down to Mutalisk Micro, and by.hero has Kwanro beat in that area.

EffOrt < Return of the King > YellOw[ArnC]
fantasy < Holy World SE > type-b
go.go < Outsider > ZerO
by.hero < Heartbreak Ridge > Kwanro

4/4 Predictions :D

EffOrt vs. YellOw[ArnC]
