If it comes to PvPvPvP semifinals, TSL should make everybody offrace.
But why?

thanks plexa for that awesome write up. doing new zealand proud.

by the way, i tipped the dreiven-mondi upset, and i got so excited over that, that i tipped all the ro8 matches to be upsets. so according to my liquidbet, the semifinals only has 1 protoss. heres hoping.
Showtime!

(frown)

To those who are nitpicking about their 'predictions': give them a break. It makes things a little more interesting and if they're right then they look really smart.

It's okay to make predictions of your own, but criticizing someone's elses is petty.

Go White-Ra My bet for #1 is on him.

And no, I don't like PvP either. In fact it's the most boring matchup to watch -- I would rather watch TvT. But thanks to the quality of the TSL video broadcast with the nice commentating and all, it's really not that bad

i'm hoping for white-ra to advance. draco might (still) be the slightly better player but it's pretty even and i just like ra.
i'd really like to see gosia winning, finding him a lot more likeable than his opponent admittedly being one reason next to disliking the idea of PPPP semis. sure, he has to give his very best, but if he manages to do so, he definitely might take this series. he's always been that kind of player who's not playing on top level continously but gets hot at exactly the right time -- i'm really tense about this match.
dreiven/brat is too hard to tell, but i'm hoping for dreiven. would be a pity to see the player who kicked out the allegedly best non-korean not making it to the finals.
as for dinot, (unfortunately) i don't see any chances. would be nice though.
anyway go pvz finals.

I disagree PvP is decided by mechanics. Out of ANY matchup mechanics mean the least in PvP. Strategy will play a huge role. To a certain extent you can totally outsmart your opponent PvP and win with crappy mechanics. Also PvP is sometimes decided by sheer randomness as both players pick a strong build order with only one specific counter to it (so not a full proof strategy), one of them just happens to pick the counter to the other without scouting for it. Anyway I really love PvP and the smartness that is involved with it. Looking forward to this.

I like PvP... but I'd rather not see only PvP for the last four matches.

I like PvP and ZvZ as well. It's just that I don't think a potential 20 match straight of PvP is what most people can handle.

Awesome!

My impression of Nony is that he is very good but never wins anything, let's hope that changes this time!


Dreiven is probably my favourite player this tournament, along with the russian terrans.

I think we are gonna see a PvP final between basically anyone of the protoss users, since they all can make it imo.

PvP is better than ZvZ anyways which is just horrible. But I still think TvT is the most interesting mirror matchup. Oh well
