MMA and Puzzle good pick. Also don't you think the GSL needs a supervillain? All the players deserve to win atm so that makes me sad for the losers. I wish there was like an ultra bm super powerful player that everyone would want to take down =p

I'm kind of still counting Gumiho out, regardless of his track record. Fnatic aLive is going to be the real showman in the GSL :B

Nice preview. You should remove the RC in aLive's name though. That is only the sponsor. The team is called fnatic.

The Waxangel has my thoughts 100% right about the fact that every player in this round of 8 will torque the heart of the fans as they lose. They have all earned their spot in this tournament through consistent intelligent play and I feel the best games are still to come.

Sorry to stray away from the topic of the article, but I am giddy to see the rest of the quarter-finals, especially PartinG vs. DRG. PartinG has played amazing through 2 seasons of GSL so far without playing a single Zerg opponent. And having his PvZ GSL debut against DRG should be a "proving grounds" style match. DRG with his mixed history with ZvP success makes it safe to say it's his weakest match-up but at the same time PartinG really can't afford to underestimate what DRG is capable of. Both players will have to bring their “S”-game if they wish to advance and I expect it to be nothing less than a clash of 2 glory hungry gladiators.

The "underdogs" have really done it this time.

aLive's raven auto turret rush blew my mind...

although, i'm not really so sure about gumiho. it seemed more like a failing on puzzle's part than a success for gumiho...

A few weeks ago I came to the realization... FXO is actually the best team in the world, the have the best terran, zerg and protoss in the world. I got flamed and people called gumiho trash but then this...

Im going to predict the ending of GSL. DRG is going to win a 4-2 against aLive in the finals. You'll see.

The Terran that already lost two series this GSL?
The Zerg that's not in the Ro8?
The Protoss not named JANG. Motherfucking Chul?

Nah.

Also, aLive is so good, been a fanboy for a while now. He was the reason i stll respected TSL even during their downfall, when he left TSL, i lost all faith.

Umm... no, lol. They have strong players in each race, but definitely not the strongest of any race

That would belong to (arguably) MVP/MMA, MC/Parting, and DongRaeGu/NesTea

spoilers

Gumiho has the strongest multi tasking in all of sc2 bar none. After seeing his complete dismantling of MVP's mech with bio no one should be surprised that he rofled all over Puzzle. Also I really feel that Puzzle's main strength is on the strategic side of things and not so much on the mechanics side. He can get really sloppy at times though I would still put him top 3 protoss in the world with Parting at number 1.

As for Alive beating MMA, well this guy deserves it. For such a long time he has been a tip top level player but he just hasn't had huge success at GSL so no one has really taken notice. Really, I think in all aspects Alive is just better than MMA. Also, ♥ Alive's rushes man, so good.
