With the Ro64 coming to a close, the Gom broadcasts have been restricted to only on Sundays. To make up for that, the quality of the games have increased dramatically, with not a single week going by without at least two big name players playing. This week is no different, with some of the biggest names in SC, both old and new, making an appearance.
It will always be difficult to follow the Maestro's games with other crowd-pullers, but somehow Gom has pulled it off, with two of the strongest progamers, and one of the biggest progamers, all showing what they're made of. This week we start off with the bridesmaid Stork taking on CJ zerg wannabe Orion. Stork's PvZ has never really been his strongest match-up, but against a player that got double-gate proxied in front of his ramp twice in his first MSL, it should be enough.
The second match-up has our favourite flamboyant Terran, FireBatHero, matching up against one of the youngest progamers out there, Bogus. Bogus hasn't really proven himself yet, having only played Zergboy (whom he beat 2:1) in KeSPA acredited matches so far. This should be the ideal warm-up for FBH if he wants to continue his successful season.
The third game has recent Golden Mouse winner, July, taking on old-school Terran from WeMade, pepe. July's games are always interesting, and it will be interesting to see if pepe has what it takes to survive the onslaught. With July's recent pressure into macro style, it's hard to see him losing, and pepe's 1-13 total record does not bode well. Hopefully we'll see some innovative play here.
The final game, and in a strange way the most interesting one, will be TheRock facing up against MuMyung. Both these players have seen better days, however, this might just motivate them to try harder in their matches. Neither player could really ask for a better match-up, so it would be interesting to see who has what it takes to continue to the Ro32.
Some good new interviews are available this week, thanks to ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/images/usericons/tlnet_staff.gif) lilsusie as usual. Keep an eye out for the ever improving CJ_Effort!
Interview with Pretty
Interview with sAviOr
Interview with Effort
Interview with ForGG
The Q&A series continues, and this week we get to ask some questions for two very different progamers:
Questions for Stork
Questions for FireBatHero
As usual, a big thanks goes out to Susie and Gom for providing the foreign scene with such great content every week!
Some of you might have noticed that the results no longer have links in them. I apologize for that, my exams are starting and adding links is by far the most time consuming task in doing these write-ups. You can go grab the vods yourself from the GomTV website.
Hope you guys have enjoyed this update, and see you on Gom on Sunday!

Effort!!
woooo

Gogogogogogogo FBH
I'd go terran for him.
|
FBH and July will slaughter their opponents.
Stork *should* slaughter Orion, but it's his weakest matchup and you just never know...
Rock vs MuMyung will be pathetic. Let's just hope that Rock doesn't try to play without vespene gas again (although that might actually work against MuMyung).
|
stork, fbh and july should dominate
|
yeahhhh savior

You can watch Effort's game in the GG vs. TL showmatch, and then judge for yourself.

No he's not. People keep on asking, and after a while they just started saying he is for laughs, but it's not the same person.
|
I asked him before and hes said yes so I wasn't really sure if he really is fake or not. Now I know, thanks for clarifying Daigomi.
That SOB, I really thought that he was the real Effort. I was even asking him questions regarding his progaming career. XD
|
Unless his written English is 10x his spoken English, the gg EffOrt is a fake!
Looking forward to the FBH interview a LOT.
|
Lol I don't even like FBH but I'll bet the interview with him will be pretty funny/interesting.
Assuming they pick the good questions of course.
|
I wonder how much practice against zerg Stork has done lately. I think he practiced PvP like 90% of the time, and PvT the rest, so he may not have that good builds prepared, and it is his weakest MU. Still, I think it is OK for him to prioritize the other leagues, as he is pretty far in those.
|
I can't wait to watch these. I've been waiting for it the entire week.
|
They should do a weekly wrap-up imo, on wednesday nights to tide us over until the next weekend, they could talk about the maps, results from last week, this weeks matches/MU's and what strats are likely to be used.
|
There's a real lack of decent questions to FBH and Stork on the GOM forums....
This is a chance we don't get very often! Especially someone as hilarious as FBH.
If we flood it with good questions, or just repeat the ones you think are good then we won't get the usual pathetic "do you think you can win" - "Yes I will win it for my fans" LAME Q & As!
|
not that inactive interviews? why's that eXigent?
|
Rock vs Mumyung woah, the smiter of justice shall win this match then win an OSL woot!
|
Firebathero vs Bogus.
+ Show Spoiler +Firebathero tries to humiliate a newcomer and gets offed in the process. Firebathero vs Effort all over again.
