Sorry for the double post, but Oz just carried FXO to defeat Liquid in the IPLTAC2. First game was a fantastic timing push against Ret, second game had Oz defending against a Roach/Ling drop with incredible scouting and forcefields, and the last game showed us Oz's brilliant decision making, where he made the decisive move to go for DTs after reading HerO's tech.

Oz so clutch. I wonder if FXO considers him their ace, seeing that they've used him as their last line of defense in GSTL and now IPL as well.

IMO it's because Oz is an extremely stable player. GuMiho is off and on, so he's not exactly dependable to bring them back from behind if necessary. Leenock is heavily dependent on baneling bombs and other various shenanigans. Plus, he's zerg, which is probably the least "stable" race. Lucky is in a similar boat. Also, Oz has no real weak match-up. His PvT and PvP are fantastic, and PvZ is definitely not bad. Gumiho has shown to be (historically) weak at TvT, Lucky's ZvZ could use work, and Leenock's ZvP is his achilles' heel. All the factors make it so that Oz is the best closer, though not necessarily the "ace".

Great showing by Oz, didn't catch his game vs. Ryung but beat both Puzzle and CoCa!

Yikes! Oz getting placed in a very tough group for Code S.

I can imagine him taking down Parting and Fin relatively easily, but Polt is a very good TvP player, and Oz will have to prepare a lot for him.

I know he can do it, though. Good luck, Oz!

Okay,, Oz's code S group is

Polt

Fin

Parting

my two favourite players Oz and Polt in the same group! :'(

as much as that seems like a group of death, Code S is so stacked these days that every other group doesn't seem much better! haha

I've been out of the scene for a but, but I think Oz should be able to take down Parting relatively easily, Fin will be interesting, but I think Oz can take him. The hard one is Polt, who is a beast at PvT, though he has been slumping a bit lately..

Hoping that Oz and Polt take 1 and 2, and I think its probably a good bet that they will, Oz v Polt would be and important (and amazing) game for the group... and Polt v Fin will probably be pretty defining on who makes it out of the group.

Gogo Oz for Code S!

I'm a pretty big Oz and PartinG fan after this last GSL, and have always held Polt as one of my favorite terrans, and think Fin puts on great games.

So sad they have to take each other out, but I'm pulling for Oz the most right now. Kid is bossmode.
