[GOM] The End of Sixty-Four

Text byDaigomi
November 1st, 2008 23:48 GMT

The last day of the Ro64 starts in a few hours, and it's ending with a bang. This weekend we have some big players, some old players, and some rookies looking to make it big, all fighting it out for a place in the final 32. But first, let's take a look at what happened last week:

The GSL has been a tournament of upsets. The greatest have fallen to complete unknowns, the young have taken out the experienced, and the old have destroyed their successors. And with the line-ups we have this week, that's a great thing.

The first match-up is a really difficult one to call: XellOs vs Tempest . Tempest has been the staple Protoss for KTF this season, and while he has not always impressed, he did manage to reach the Ro16 in the MSL. XellOs, on the other hand, needs no introduction. He's been a staple Terran for CJ since 2005, and has never really lost it. I'm calling this for XellOs, as Tempest's form has been far from stellar recently.

Our second match is Canata vs ToSky. The neo-Boxer that never really happened, against the player that never really happened. It's a bit of a downer, but Canata is known for interesting games, and ToSky did do well in the previous GSL, so they hopefully they'll deliver some amazing games. I'll abstain from voting on this one.

The third match should be a bit closer as the hardworking CJ Terran, Darkelf, goes up against one of the top Protoss players out there, Kal. The two are 1-1 historically, with Kal taking the more recent encouter. It would be optimistic to vote against Kal, but Darkelf is known for producing upsets, and with the GSL as it is, anything can happen!

The final match, and without a doubt the match of the night, is between defending champion Jaedong, and WeMade up-and-comer HerO. I think no-one is predicing a HerO win here, but it might be a good test of skill for the young Protoss. HerO has had good results against Zerg in the past, but has never really been tested, and it will be interesting to see how he steps up to the challenge.

Ro64 - Day 6

(T)XellOs vs (P)Tempest
(T)Canata vs (Z)ToSky
(P)Goojila vs (T)DarkElf
(Z)Jaedong vs (P)HerO

As always, we have new interviews thanks to the hard work of [image loading] lilsusie. My two favourite interviews from last week were with the 15 year old Bogus, and the recently crowned OSL champion. There's also a very interesting interview with the bewildered looking observer, Yoon.

Interview with Bogus
Interview with Stork
Interview with Yoon

And another installment in the Q&A series this week, with you asking questions for Jaedong, and the golden boy XellOs. If you have something to ask, go ask now because there's not much time left!

Questions for Jaedong
Questions for XellOs

It might be interesting to find out what Jaedong thinks of both sAviOr and Bisu's claims that they will dethrone him!



As with last week, I apologize for not adding the VOD links to the results, my exams are still in full flow and it's just too time consuming. I also apologize for the late news report, with so many things happening, it was difficult to find a slot to pop this in. With the new frontpage, that's not a problem fortunately! Anyway, enjoy your Sunday, and support GomTV by participating in all their community events. They're doing it for you guys!

The GSL winner this season could very well be a dark horse, considering how many unexpected people have made it past the ro64.

Actually Pepe played really good, and July historically sucks at ZvT. Pepe's micro does not reflect his stats.

It should be interesting to see how this develops, given the number of upsets.

Totally agree. Pepe won those games, July didn't lose them.

You linked to an interview with Pepe. Change the number to 378.

july most certainly lost them he underestimated his opponent and borderline attempted toying with him and shot himself in the foot, not to say pepe didnt play the games of his life but still july lost them pepe is not a good player.

Kind of a boring day. As Jaedong got kicked out of both MSL and OSL fairly early, I don't forsee him having any problems with Hero. None of the other players are going far anyway, IMO.

Thanks, fixed that. And yeah, some of the upsets so far have been utterly shocking. Not that I mind, that's what I enjoy about the GSL, you get young players making it from the Ro256 all the way to the Ro16, and you get to see some new blood. It makes it a bit more unpredictable than the other Starleagues are.
