(Z)Symbol and (Z)KangHo advance to Code S RO8!


Symbol and Losira advance in final Ro16 group, Ro8 brackets finalized

The GSL finalist curse appeared to end with WoL, as last season's runner-up (Z)Azubu.Symbol joined defending champion RorO in the round of eight. It was the first time such an event had occurred since November of 2011, when MMA and Mvp managed to reach the Ro8 after gracing the finals stage in the previous season.

Symbol's first match saw him thoroughly school lone KeSPA player (Z)SKT_soO, thwarting his early pool rush to win game one, and then using an early pool rush himself to take game two. The second series against (T)FXO.GuMiho would be slightly more difficult, but not by much. Symbol easily took the first game with a well executed roach-baneling all-in, and then dropped the second game after his mass-speedroach strategy failed in game two. Symbol decided to fall back on his trusty nydus worm tactics in the final set, going for a clever speedling misdirection into nydus attack that caught Gumiho totally off guard. Symbol improved to 12 - 3 when using nydus worms in the GSL and advanced to the Ro8.

Losira avenges loss against Gumiho to take second place spot

After suffering a painful Ro16 defeat to (T)FXO.GuMiho last season, (Z)LG-IM_LosirA was able to exact revenge by eliminating his enemy from the tournament in the very next season. While he suffered an initial defeat to Gumiho in his first series of the night, Losira swept soO aside in the losers match to earn a rematch against the FXO Terran in the final match.

While the series didn't live up to the epic reputation of the one they had back in February, it did have the similar characteristics where Gumiho battered LosirA with blows from all angles, while LosirA put on the best defensive performance he possibly could. This time around, Gumiho had to admit he was bested. After Losira held off all sorts of relentless harassment and frontal attacks, Gumiho twice decided that his only choice left was to go all-in with SCVs pulled. Losira held off those desperation attacks as well, and advanced to the Ro8 with well-earned GG's.

Ro8 Picture

With the Ro16 complete, the quarter-final brackets were also determined.

[image loading]

While all the match-ups should definitely be high quality, the most anticipated match is definitely (Z)RorO vs. (T)INnoVation, featuring KeSPA's best Zerg against KeSPA's best Terran. While the early elimination of Life and Flash has precluded a number of story lines, the possibility of Startale captain Bomber going up against his taunting ex-teammate PartinG presents itself as one of the most exciting finals cards.

Regarding final stories:

- Oh no, we don't get Roro vs Symbol repeat finals. Maybe a repeat semis?
- Bomber vs Parting would be good haha.
- Soulkey vs Roro for best kespa zerg?
- sOs or Parting for first Protoss champion since Seed. And only third Protoss GSL champion ever.
- Innovation or Bomber to place themselves as the new terran king in the post-GSLMVP-era.
- Also quite funny that we got 4 zergs for this Ro8. How long until it becomes so standard that people just talk about Korea as the home of great zergs like they used to about terrans in 2011?

I think I'm hoping for Parting vs Bomber, Soulkey vs Roro or sOs vs Innovation finals. Yeah that's right, I'd be ok with a ZvZ finals. It's not the race, it's the players and their stories.

There's a better chance of No Z in the Ro4. That being said, I just hope we avoid ZvZ's all together.

The irony is, LR threads by the end of WOL was full of absolute hatred for zerg and how "everything will change in hots and patch zergs will die." Then we have Symbol and Roro, the last WOL finalist return to the Ro8 despite being the last players to switch into HOTS. Both able to perform well in ZvT when supposedly the matchup is OP for terran again.

I'm not a zerg fan. In fact it's my least favorite race. But I'm glad the top zergs are doing well just to shut up the people who mindlessly parrot race OP without looking at the players.

My dream finals would be innovation vs sOs, though a bomber vs parting finals would certainly be intriguing.

To be fair, objectively the zerg players that were kicking ass at the end were the zerg players that are good regardless. Symbol, Roro, Leenock, Soulkey and Life.

Hyun, DRG, Curious and Sniper appear to have dropped off a little, but otherwise the top of KR zerg play remained unchanged.

And powerful. KR zergs are honestly so scary nowdays. KR terrans don't hold the same strength as 2011.

PartinG fighting! Altho his match against Soulkey will be hard. PartinG does these unique, stylistic things, which makes him very counterable in these longer bo5 matches with tons of preparation. I fear Soulkey will take the victory.

sOs, on the other hand, should be pretty heavily favoured against KangHo.

INnoVation vs. RorO is a hard one to call. But it seems the only Zerg that can beat INnoVation is Soulkey. Not sure if RorO has the Soulkey magic tho..

Bomber vs. Symbol: Bomber always disappoints. Nuff said.

i believe Soulkey begs to differ

Losira winning it all would be great, championships belong to LG-IM ( and since he isn't the huge favorite it would look even more epic ) ! Then Nestea will win AM and MVP will win EU:D
