So, when July roflstomps HongUn, what's Waxangel gonna say?

I don't mind being called wrong, but that was really snide, especially for predictions, especially when July's ZvP is better than HongUn's PvZ.

July diasected Genius in group stages, one sided nub-bashing. Can you say Houng is better then genius?

I cannt

Well, he has had more consistent results than Genius.. I guess it's up in the air if you ask me. Can't be sold either way.

Plus this is TL and we all love July. Most people would rather give the player they like most their vote when you dont have a very clear favorite. And since HongUn doesnt really have a great fan base, what do you expect?

Did you watch the game... July cheesed Genius and won. There was no skill involved LOL. Seriously, a diamond leaguer could have done that, but yea Genius is much better than Hongun

I will admit to voting for who I want to win most of the time, rather than who I think will win. There are exceptions though, even if I wanted Keen to win I still would have voted for Bomber.

But yeah, I voted for Nada and July, whether or not they have the best chance.

Well of course I vote with my heart. Not like I stand to win anything great, so why not? I mean I just feel like a whore most of the time if I pick against the people I really like, even if they have no chance in hell.

Lol, the MMA vs Polt and Bomber vs Keen margins are hilarious


By the way. Am I the only one who is utterly despaired by the fact that I count... 3 zergs, 4 protoss and 9 terrans? Sure TvT is fun to watch and all but not THAT fun... At least only one of the nonterran matchups is a ZvP soo at least we'll have a chance to see some non terrans in the round of 8... But on the other hand we might also end up seeing 7 terrans and one nonterran... And a top 4 of pure terran. Oh joy.

As much as I hate to admit it, a win by a cheese is still a win. If Genious wasnt good enough to hold a zerg cheese, he didnt deserve the win, July did. And remember, July is the God of War.

Nestea v MVP is my most anticipated match of the year. I really want to see whether Nestea has come up with something to combat the abusive two factory style we've seen from Terran. If anyone can figure it out it's him

I don't know about Nestea vs MVP Every time Nestea has been eliminated from a Korean Tournament it has been by Terran, with 2 of those losses coming from MVP. Head to head he is 1-6 to MVP. I don't see how he is favored in Korean polls.

Thing is. Polt won over MMA using bio! MMA is now a mecher, so bio just wont work nearly as well.

Great article Waxangel, I do think that July will be hongun though even though hongun has a tendency to pull miraculous miracles out of nowhere.

Hongun is probably one of the more inconsistent players in GSL, along with July. I've seen some incredible games from Hongun but also some truly awful ones in addition to the greatness. July's style tends to lend itself to weirder games as he is so super aggressive. I picked July, I highly doubt Hongun can take him down in a BoX but will be pleasantly surprised if he does (Since I'm Toss, I always hope for my Toss brethren :D)

but Nestea vs Mere Mortals is the only matchup right now that deserves that kind of margin.

HongUn has been in good form lately and July has not, I'd be interested to the the toto betting for that one, shame its not up. Although aybe its not that 80% don't watch the GSL though and instead the fact that Artosis doesn't give HongUn any credit and is prone to hyping Zerg players, who have had some success, up.
