[SPL] Playoffs - STX SouL vs Samsung KHAN Day2 - Page 3

Calm < Outsider > Juni

To Juni: You lose. No sense in writing anything here. It is ZvZ, but with such a skill gap, there's no way that Juni can win this one barring some major screw up by Calm.

Hwasin (2-3) 1-3 (4-1) firebathero

Hwasin's TvT recently has been... lackluster. Not to say it hasn't always been lackluster, but it's been a bit worse than usual. After getting stomped by Iris 0-2 in the GOM Classic, there's nowhere for Hwasin to go but down. His performance against top level TvT players like FBH isn't encouraging at all, and his wins against such players are far and few. Now FBH is a whole other story. His TvT has been top notch this year, with very close games against Leta and most notable Flash. Unless FBH is faced with cheese, his TvT sense lately is good enough such that he can take out Hwasin in lategame TvT.

Kal (3-2) 2 - 1 (1-0) yoOn

Despite his two recent losses in PvP, Kal is still in really good shape. His loss to JangBi was in part caused by the positional imbalance of Medusa, and then he committed one mistake that cost him the game. This time the map is Destination, so there will be no positional imbalances here. yoOn is pretty much untested against Protoss. All of his past PvP games were about a year ago, and he's defintely a different player now, so there's no telling how his game looks now against a top player like Kal. An interesting point is that Kal knocked him out of last year's Spring OSL prelims, but he did manage to take one game off of him.

Modesty (2-1) 0 - 0 (2-3) Stork

Modesty's only notable ZvP achievement was knocking out Anytime from the GOM Classic this year, but other than that, he hasn't really done much. Stork is probably pissed from the 2 Factory that Last pulled on him yesterday, and is out looking for revenge. His PvZ lately hasn't been too shabby, though I have to note that one of those wins was against Jaedong's stupid ling all in so it should just be taken out. I'm not exactly sure where his PvZ stands now, but it should be at least good enough to take out Modesty.

by.hero (2-3) 0 - 0 (3-2) JangBi

Now this is probably going to be the non Ace match game of today. hero is pretty much JulyZerg's apprentice, with a comparable APM. July is known for his ZvP. hero knocked Bisu out of the OSL early this year. He then proceeded to flake out against Kal in the GOM Classic 1-2. His record isn't exactly consistent. But surely he has had enough time and training to provide an entertaining game. JangBi is on a downhill slide PvZ. His two recent losses were to freaking Yarnc and GoRush. The last time he faced a good Zerg was in the MSL Finals where he died 1-3. JangBi needs to get it together or he will find himself in big trouble here. Neo Medusa isn't exactly the best map for PvZ.

Shuttle (4-1) 0 - 1 (4-1) great

Don't be fooled by the stats. The games that Shuttle won were against HoeJJa, Roro, and Zergbong, not exactly the best Zergs in the world. Now look at who great has taken down recently. Anytime, Violet, SangHo, Bisu, free. No other comments are necessary I hope.
