A win from Hero here would be amazing not only because it would mark Liquid, and a foreign team's first trip to a GSL final, but also because he would end one of the best runs in Starcraft II history in the process. Squirtle's run is reminiscent of Nestea or Mvp in the mid 2011's, and defeating him would be akin to denying destiny.

it has been a good week for teamliquid denying destiny. ;-)

May I have a suggestion for these previews? Could you, please, include the exact day and time when it will be played?

I do not follow GSL so closely, but I usually enjoy reading these previews and when the coming matches seem interesting, I say "I'd watch that" - only to have to look elsewhere to find out the time ...

Probably the most underwhelming RO4 to date for me, will check the results for MVP I guess.

I'm rooting for Hero but I have to agree with the prediction, Squirtle is so confident right now and rightly so, his record is insane.
Mvp can cheese his way into the final, he's been there many times already and the way he played against Naniwa is telling about how calm he is.
I think he will win this.
And I have Squirtle for the final win, it's almost a given.

The overall winrate vs Protoss for HerO and Squirtle is fairly similar and the fact is HerO has not played a ton of pvps so his below 50% winrate vs Protoss is 2 wins / 3 losses , while Squirtle is 9 and 0 this gsl. HerO should definitley do better than 1 win, that and he better win D<

The two players I hope will win are Hero & MVP. But I voted for Parting and Squirtle.. Either way I will be happy I guess?

I can see Hero or Squirtle walking the Royal Road in this one.

For Liquid, Hero fighting!
Hoping he can walk the royal road for my favorite team.

For Terran, MVP fighting!
Hoping he can show us Terrans how to defeat Protoss, against the best PvT'er.

No matter how much fun people make out of BitByBit, I can see reason behind the leitmotif of his play.
Didn't Bruce Lee say: "I don't fear the man who practised 10000 builds once, but the man who practised 1 build 10000 times."

I think that BitByBit was trying to do exactly that. And in order to reach the number 10000, he took the quickest build out there!
