NaDa... 14 MSLs (18 if you count the KPGA tours). 7 straight, this would've been 8 (his best streak is 10 straight from KPGA 1 in 2002 to UZOO in 2005.)

e: In fact, this is only the 4th MSL that will not have NaDa participating (CYON, Pringles-1 and GOM S1 were the other 3).

Thanks for writing this up alffla, I imagine it can't be easy.

Sucks so many favourite players got eliminated =/

Ultralisks in ZvZ??? I must have missed that. Got to see it :S

Any VOD of ultras in ZvZ that doesn't have infoboxes over the entire screen 90% of the match?

BoxeR. You heard it here first.

But seriously, Boxer seems to have trouble with unknown Protoss players. I mean last qualifiers, he lost to (P)

herb. As such, considering Trap`s (incredibly dry and boring) strong standard play, I do not see Boxer getting past him.

Trap destroying Boxer's meager push.

Yep, totally unexpected.

I am glad to see (Z)

DaezanG advance. However, I feel sorry for Daezang. Winning by forfeit is even worse then losing. And naturally, I also feel sorry for (Z)

Devil, beacuse KeSPA wanted him to play with a disadvantage due to semantics.

Nice write-uyp!

Was able to catch a few of the games myself, but readinga neat summary like this is always a blast.

Holy crap. (P)

ASuka-Jr is horrible.

Anyone else notice that (Z)

RorO advanced from the OSL and MSL preliminaries? Not too shabby.

Awesome write up. Seems like every year, everyone is complaining about a races dominance... When boxer was "god of terran" all terrans were dominating... It's just EVO, zerg players have become just better gamers and all maps have 3rd nat/gas. But, that's always been zerg complain, no 3rd gas at 3rd nat
