Great read, so excited for these next few weeks. Personally, I'm in agreement with the majority and hope TaeJa can claim his rightful place as the new king of SC2.

TeamLiquid's ever-hopefuls and cruel sadists combined for 13% of the vote to place Mvp vs. MarineKing in third place. Some are relishing yet another brutal chapter in SC2's longest tale of misery and woe, while others carry the hope that there might finally be a happy ending at the end of this tale.

This paragraph is pure gold, well done.

I love how much TvZ's we are finally having again in code S this far in the tourney

I'm really curious tho why MKP is only 4th on the "wanting-wishlist" (considering so many people love to see him play and really want him to finally take an GSL championship to him)

If MarineKing can pass Life, he will destroy Taeja ! Mark my words.

In before Hero wins it all. If hero beats Rain he has a winning record against everyone else on his side of the bracket.

Well, last season nobody talked about Seed as well and he got the championship.

I'm with you! I also feel that he's underrated. Only real obstacle imo is Life with his godly ZvZ.

GOGO LEENOCKTUPUS!

If I'm not mistaken, Leenock beat Life 2-0 in last season's code A, maybe even ending his huge ZvZ streak. Even if Leenock is not the best at ZvZ, he showed some pretty good series in the past against DRG for example.

He's definitely my second favourite player after Mvp in this RO8, would love to see a final between those two because they never disappointed. MLG Providence, GSL code S November and GSL code S season 2 were all incredibly entertaining series, I hope we can see that happen one more time !

Look forward to seeing how the Liquid guys do, I think HerO's going to do much better than the votes might imply!

the best matchup ever got last place. Life vs Symbol is a guaranteed epic match. Both are avid Nydus and harassment users and they both have exceptional ZvZ. I would take that over some boring PvT anyday.

I am shocked to see so many people without any confidence in hero. He has said that he feels alot better about PvP now and after those games vs squirtle I believe that he can take down rain. If that happens i think he beats the winner of MVP and Symbol. I don't know if will win in the finals but he has at least a decent shot vs anyone on the other side of the bracket as well.

HerO has been the KeSPA slayer before, I think he will stop Rain.

I hope the dream Liquid final will come true.

I kind of expected the top 3 expected winners, but I'm pretty surprised that everyone not in the top 3 only got 5% or less.

It was a really hard poll to vote in though with so many great players, and while I have some players I'd prefer be in the finals, no matter who makes it there it's guaranteed to be awesome!

Why aren't more people for an MVP vs Zerg finals? MVP vs Life or Leenock would be absolutely amazing.

I think no matter what happens from here, we're almost guaranteed the best finals in GSL history. Looking at it on paper, this is easily the most stacked ro8, and going into the ro4 there's no way it won't be the most stacked semis we've ever seen.

Mvp 4:3 Leenock. If I believe hard enough, it will happen.
