Ah finally the preview. Been waiting a while to read it, can't wait for the games themselves.

Boxer vs Sen will be an interesting match. Really hope Boxer took the time to prepare the match well enough to win; or at least give us a nice series to watch. That said if Sen wins I won't be unhappy, that guy is cool and he's Z. I'm happy either way. I'm leaning towards a win for Sen.

Hasu will probably take down Morrow. Morrow is a pretty good Zerg BUT Hasu is also really good and he's Protoss. ZvP ftw.. enough said? The series will probably have some gg's either way.

Naniwa will probably cream Goody. Naniwa's on fire atm. :p

Cruncher vs Mondragon... lol. I hope Cruncher loses. He probably would if ZvP wasn't imba. The question is whether or not Mondragon is going to outplay Cruncher hard enough for Cruncher to lose. Kinda sad. I really hope he does. And I think he will. What I actually think is that Mondi is going to come up with some crazy shit that no one has ever seen before (with roaches) and Cruncher will be utterly and totally surprised and won't know what the hell hit him and he'll just die because his usual shitty P shenanigans will have failed against Mondi's genius. Check? Idra? They're zerg. lol kinda sucks

This is gonna be so awesome. My predictions:

Sen > Boxer. Sen is looking very strong and Boxer seems to be doing less well as of late. What could win this for Boxer could be some early all-ins like marine/tank stuff. If it goes to the late game I think Sen will crush him. 3-1 to Sen.

Hasu > Morrow. This one is hard to call. I see Morrow as the stronger player over all, but it seems like he's having trouble against protoss, though he did take a game off of MC. I don't see PvZ as being imbalanced, but the top zergs do seem to have trouble in this matchup lately. I'm cheering for Morrow, but I think Hasu will take this in a close series. 3-2 to Hasu.

Naniwa > Goody. The way Naniwa is playing I don't see him losing to Goody. Goody is a very good player, I just put Naniwa at a level above him right now. Hopefully we will see some awesome mech play from Goody. I think Naniwa will take this series 3-1.

Mondragon > Cruncher. I think this will be a very close series. If Mondragon can survive 1base/2base all-ins and have an answer for colossus/VR he will be fine. Tbh I havn't seen many of either players games, but all I've seen from Cruncher is colossus/VR and that 5 gate against Idra. 3-2 to Mondragon, as I see him as a highly intelligent player and I'm confident he will have an answer for Cruncher's predictable style.

People still doubt his skill, and with good reason – unlike Naniwa, he has not yet shown consistency

August: 1 Gold
September: 1 Gold, 2 Silver
October: 4 Gold, 3 Silver, 2 Bronze
November: 4 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Bronze
December: 4 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze
January: 2 Gold, 2 Silver
February: 4 Gold, 4 Silver
March: 6 Gold, 1 Silver, 1 Bronze

Goody - consistency inpersonated.

Sen > Boxer. This one's easy to call. Sen is in form and has great ZvT, while Boxer is out of form and is pretty bad at TvZ. Also I feel Sen is the better player overall.

Morrow <Hasu. I think Morrow is better, but Hasu is still good and it's ZvP so I don't see Morrow taking this. Probably 3-1 or 3-2.

Mondragon > Cruncher. Just cause.

Naniwa > Goody. With Nani's recent form I don't see Goody taking this. He has a unique style but he's also 1 dimensional and employs that style almost always. Nani should have had enough tmie to prep, and he's a better player.
