EPTBut I just realized that every match being played today has particular history. Yellow vs Anytime is a rematch from SO1 where Anytime went 3 gate DT rush. If the map was R-Point instead of Outsider it would be a perfect rematch. Ra vs Kingdom is a tie-breaker match from their long history. They are 12-12 against each other. Also, at one point, Kingdom was known for his good record against Ra (winning every BO3+ head-to-head). Finally, Tossgirl and Reach has the incident Reach apologized for the other day. Not as deep a history as the other matches IMO, but still something.

But not all. Tossgirl against anyone except Yellow or Reach feels like just another game. Savior against anyone other than NaDa, Oov or Ra feels likewise to me (don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE Savior fan, but those are the games that really feel special). Anytime against any of the other tosses doesn't seem particularly special to me (though Anytime vs Yellow, Boxer, Oov, or NaDa does). Reach, Ra, Kingdom, NaDa, Boxer and Oov all have some history against pretty much anyone who was ever on any Who's Who list of Starcraft gamers (except maybe "Who's Who Among Foreigners," but since foreigners have been utter suck compared to Korean progamers since like 2002, that list doesn't really matter). However, even among them, there are some games that feel more special. Ra vs Oov doesn't have the same kick as Reach vs Oov. Kingdom's main history with Boxer and Oov was as teammates and I can't say I'd enjoy those possible matches as much as Kingdom vs NaDa, Ra, or Reach. Yellow against Oov doesn't really matter when compared with Yellow against Boxer or NaDa. Yellow vs Kingdom is also pretty much irrelevant compared with other Yellow vs the other tosses. Anyway, I'm rambling and should probably go to bed. But the point is that today's line-up is particularly interesting even without the real match of the night being played. | ||

If reach looses to Tossgirl, The entire site should be locked down for 24 hours for a moment of silence. | ||
