Overall Analysis
Match E:
Jaedong (purple) and Luxury (white) are undeniably the best two ZvZ players currently. In what could have been a close game based on looking at recent history, it was instead one dominated by Jaedong. I was hoping that Luxury could have put up a bit more of a fight as he is probably the only Zerg player I would give a decent chance at defeating The Legend Killer. Now a legend in his own right, Jaedong's game sense and timing continue to impress me. Once Jaedong gets his momentum going it will be difficult imagining a player who could stop him before he reaches the finals. Perhaps we will see some closer games than the swift beating of game one for games two and three this Saturday.Match F: There have been whispers that this is
Hwasin's (yellow) MSL. There is no Bisu and no Savior here to stop him this time. Flash (red) stands in his way now, a new obstacle for Hwasin to overcome. Flash is KTF's new, young ace. After he burst onto the scene with a fourth place finish in his first OSL I have been looking for him to top that performance. Flash's play on Blue Storm was impressive. He kept Hwasin's offense to a crawl with spider mines, giving him time to develop a superior economy. By the time Hwasin figured out what was going on, it was too late to catch up. Regardless of which of these two advance, the quarterfinal match will be an even more difficult test for either to prove his worth.Match G: It is clear that
Anytime is no longer confined by the Fall season. He has been a PvT monster in Proleague and with only Terran players in his way until at least the Semifinals he should be disappointed with anything less. As for NaDa, I was not at all impressed by his play, map imbalance didn't even need to come into play. He should not have allowed Anytime to run away with such an easy victory. Nada was downright careless early in the game. Things didn't improve and it was an overall poor performance by Nada, a point which Anytime had little trouble capitalizing upon. Hopefully Nada can at least put up a decent fight next game to keep from being completely humiliated.Match H: As the defending champion,
Mind (purple) is fighting his way toward a repeat title. Aside from a small micro error toward the beginning of the game, Mind dominated Shine. Shine (green) opened up with a proxy double factory which led into pretty much nothing, not even an attack or some harassment. Shine's approach to the game was bad and sloppy. He allowed Mind to do just about whatever he wanted and Mind rightfully punished him for it. Shine will have to change up his game if he plans on taking any games from the champ.Upcoming Matches
