Great writup.

My predictions are a Optimus/MVP final with MVP taking the whole tournament, though the opposite could happen. July is the master of "jank" and has defeated MVP before. Just because MVP is better doesn't mean July can't steal the series simply because he's July.

TOP has been an outside shot to win a GSL in my books for a very long time, so it really wouldn't surprise me if he at least made it to the final.

The thing I like most about these semifinals is though the winner of July/MVP should take the tournament, every player has a very solid chance, unlike last time where I automatically knew NesTea would win the second I saw MC punch in gg for the last time.

Obviously Korean girls like TOP's cute look and metrosexual glasses while the foreigner girls like Optimus' long neck and scholar glasses.

quick question, isn't Mvp second in GSL ranking, not Optimus?


He based the ranking off of ELO.

Nice write up. I'm baffled at the poll that is lopsided for TOP in GomTV. That is weird.


ahh thanks for clearing it up

O.O Wow the Korean's really don't like Polt lol.

I want MVP to win but I would love to see a TvZ final.
I want the winner of July/MVP to win the tourney anyway!

Yessss, can't wait to see July style all over MVP!

Will there be a way to watch this if the GomTV site isn't up, though...?

GomTV's voting is based off the fans right? If I remember correctly, TOP has a pretty big fanbase of girls because he's supposedly really cute to them.

TOP vs. MVP finals. TOP is always counted out, but he's a really good player.

I don't think GomTV's audience majority are females. I guess it could be a combination of that and various other factors (such as how they may think Optimus' win in the finals was a fluke and he won over the fan favourite MMA).

If people think it was a fluke they're wrong. Didn't help MMA when he gave an entire tournaments worth of his TvT matchup to Polt though.

A lot of people don't buy into the Polt hype though. Me included. He's really good, but he shouldn't be put on the level that he's put on. I can't see him as a Top 5 quality player.

TOP is underrated though. Polt/TOP goes 5 games imo and MVP probably rolls July.

Optimus needs to rep the tag. If he gets to the finals versus MVP I think he could take this

I think foreigners fail to realize just how strong Tops TvT is, especially compared to Polts TvT. I'll admit I haven't seen many of polts tvt's this season, but my money is still on Top to make his first finals only to lose to MVP in the same matchup I heralded him for. In my book Tops tvt is is the second best in the world, unfortunately if he makes the finals he'll have to play the number 1 TvTer MVP.
