Is it just me or is this MSL moving really fast? We're down to the last day, and 4 more people will be turned away from the battle field. Currently our Elite Eight consists of FBH, Savior, and July (Oversky will be replaced by a Wild Card). The good news is that's only 1 terran. The bad news is that we got 2 terrans guaranteed a spot, and 3 more that could possibly get in. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

XellOs (T) vs. 910[Ete] (T)

@ Monty Hall / Loki

Ouch. XellOs isn't looking too good. Many were hoping his 2-0 win in the Group Stages was a signal for his comeback, but last weeks game was nothing short of rape. It was like watching a progamer play with a C5 newb. I don't know WHAT went on in that man's head, but he's gotta do less DDR, and more BW. Unless XellOs starts shaping up, I gotta give this one to 910[Ete]... a real shame, since this guy DOES NOT deserve to make it this far.

GoRush (Z) vs. Sea (T)

@ Monty Hall / Python

Mad props to GoRush's play last week. It made Sea look like any other 15 year old. It was perfectly played, and really gives us all hope that he's back to what he once was. But Sea is well, Sea. A 9-3 Proleague stats is nothing to laugh at... and the fact that his TvZ is 4-0 only adds up. Then there's last Wednesday's games to consider. GoRush losing to NaDa in the Ace Match would really put a dent in his confidence.

I predict Sea taking Monty Hall. Because the map is highly Terran favored, and also demands many multi-tasking abilities, which Sea has plenty of and GoRush slightly lacks. However in Python, the game could go anywhere. For the hope of the swarm I shall root for GoRush to take that one (after all, it is a map that favors Z).

Hwasin (T) vs. Ever)T(Sheis (T)

@ Python / Monty Hall

Hwasin, I am disgusted. You are doing so well despite everyone's claims of you being the weaker link, and you've been throwing all sorts of shit in their faces to prove otherwise... then you enter last week with a freaking bbs build and completely fail it. What a joke. My prediction is that Hwasin will try to play striaght-up, and still lose. Sheis I believe has the better TvT, and that's what convinced Hwasin to use such an all-out build in the first place. Maybe, Hwasin will take a game. But 2? I wouldn't count on it.

Bisu (P) vs. Light (T)

@ Monty Hall / Python

A match that should be a bit more interesting. Last week match turned out to be a horrendous, Light pausing the game and whining about the map being different. Honestly... how do you practice on an old version for weeks, play a match on it in Group Stages, and STILL NOT NOTICE IT?! This goes to the MBC coaching staff and his teammates. Today's matches should be much more entertaining. I will give the edge to Bisu, because i just can't imagine Bisu losing 2 PvTs in a row. But I do expect this to be a very good game, and hopefully it will go into a gripping 3rd game.

Notice: Because OverSky will be entering the army within a month, he will not be participating in the GomTV2 MSL anymore. To replace him, MBC will hold a Wild Card round like they did for BoxeR of the 8 people who lost in the Sweet 16. This means our heros Ever)P(TT, Oov, Stork, and Ra still have 1 chance to get in.
