And it shall all end with a terran win, but that terran is not Bogus; for he has been dismantled before our vigilant eyes by the true terran hope... yes, I am speaking of Bomber, the doom of Innovation.

I could see Maru beating Innovation over soulkey considering how good Soulkey's ZvT is relative to Innovation's TvT... good thing he's playing Innovation. It would be insane to see a Maru vs Supernova/Bomber/First dark horse like finals, as Rain is probably the favorite from the other side of the bracket.

P.S. everybody keep predicting bomber to fail so that he can get to the finals!

i concur.
If got Maru to the finals i think i would suffer a minor heart attack. and a finals with Maru vs Bomber/Supernova/First would indeed be insane and epic

That's an innovative way of looking at it!

Nice job Maru it's cool that he has come this far and has been under the radar for a while. Maybe MKP can learn a thing or two from the prince haha. First Game of Soulkey vs Innovation was pretty good. I still can't believe we wont have any zerg in the semi's wow. And can protoss make it into the finals? or better yet maybe a TvT finals.

This just proves that koreans know a thing or two about terran that others simply do not.. glad to see no zerg for a change

Good writeup. The games were amazing to watch. Game 1 was insane for SK vs Innovation and SK looks poised to take it if he kept up the aggression if he didn't make that big blunder towards the end. Game 4 of Maru vs Symbol was also fantastic as well and its nice to see Maru make the semis. Maru vs Innovation is going to be hard to call but I feel like Innovation has the upper hand. He has the multitasking and I'm sure he'll study Maru's strategy well for their RO4 games.

I'm really excited for Maru, but I feel so bad for Symbol sometimes...

Rain and Bomber PLEASE. Would be such a sick match.

Those matches made me so, so happy. I really hope Bogus takes this OSL, not just because of how awesome of a player he is, but it will mean the first Terran Starleague (SC2 GSL or OSL) victory in over a year.

After watching the vods, here's what I've taken from it: DOA is a good caster, BarbiePrime is really hot and Innovation has really good macro.

I've been enjoying DoA & Montecristo more than Tastosis lately. Tastosis has a little more depth but they are too critical of players mistake and somehow Artosis always manage to pick the wrong winner. DoA casting is hilarious.
