[GOM] The Young One

Text byDaigomi
November 21st, 2008 09:45 GMT

We're into the second half of the GOM Ro32, and the quality games continue. This week we have some of the hottest Protoss's playing, as well as one of the youngest progamers out there. It should be very exciting!

Rock vs Bogus... the starleagues' most consistently bad player going up against the fifteen year old Terran. We've seen very little from Bogus outside of Gom, but his victories over Zergboy and FBH do say something for him. On the other hand, the fact that we haven't seen him in the PL yet is worrying. Rock, on the other hand, has been seen way too much of. He somehow miraculously makes it to each starleague, and then fails horribly. With that said, PvT is his best match-up, so he could pull it off.

Pepe vs Frozean is, unfortunately, not much better. Pepe must be one of the progamers with the worst records, and yet he took down July earlier in the tournament. Cuteangel is able to win slightly more often, but no consistency. Furthermore, TvT is his worst match-up. In the end I'd vote for Frozean, simply because he has a better record, and more experience with televised games, but it really can't be predicted.

The third match is a bit better. We have Stork taking on keke, in what should be a one-sided match. Keke has had an easy Gom route so far, only taking out Zero. However, he has had an upset victory over Best in the proleague recently, accounting for one of Best's three losses. Added to this, it seems like the GSL was made for upsets, with not a week going past without a surprise result coming in, so perhaps he has a chance. However, it is a very small chance...

The final game of the night, in what seems to be the trend in the GSL, is the big one. We have the Berserker Terran taking on MSL finalist, Jangbi. Iris is having a resurgence of sorts recently, making it to the Ro16 of the MSL, and going 4-2 in the PL. Furthermore, Iris has had tons of practise against top Protoss players, with series against Pusan, Bisu, and Kal, in the last three months. However, Jangbi has been close to unbeatable, losing only one of his last ten games. His PvT has looked failiable though, with fairly recent losses to Light and Mind, and dropping a game (out of three) to Shine. This match has the potential to be very tense.

Ro32 - Day 3

(P)Rock vs. (T)Bogus
(T)FrOzean vs. (T)pepe
(Z)Nal_keke vs. (P)Stork
(T)Iris vs. (P)JangBi

This week in the community section, I'll leave you guys with four very interesting interviews.

Pretty
Effort
Soo
Best

You also have the opportunity to ask questions to two of the semi-finalists from the Daum OSL:

Stork
Iris



With only one week left in the Ro32 after this, the results are getting more and more important. And with the favourites dropping one after another in upsets, chances are that we'll see some unexpected quarter and semi-finalists. So see you all on Sunday!

I definitely agree that this league setup makes it ripe for upsets. I wonder what type of "history" and/or drama will arise from the league format.

Nice writeup Daigomi.

Me too, haha... I can't help but want The Rock to do well. I feel bad for him. =(

Not quite as bad as I feel for Sea, though, because Sea is actually awesome.

How the fuck does a player as good as Sea not ever get anywhere in starleagues? =(

It looks like this round is really going to be deciding if the veterans can pull their own and show these newer pros whats up. The newer generation has been bombarding us with upsets while it seems the veterans have slowly but surely losing ground on them... Looks like from here on out were going to be seeing some very GG's. Great writeup!

@ OP: Iris made it to the Ro16 in the MSL, not the quarterfinals.

Woah so many potential great matches ahead:

Bisu vs Flash // Bisu vs Best // Flash vs Best // Flash vs Jaedong // Stork vs Flash // BISU VS JAEDONG!

Hope GSL makes up for MSL's and OSL's lack of epic matches!

Nice writeup, Iris vs Jangbi will surely be the match of the day.

Rock's consistency is just mind blowing.

I really REALLY want Iris to win (prob my favorite terren after boxer), but he's going to be playing one of the top 3 PvTers on earth on a map pool that fucking sucks balls for TvP. I don't see him taking a single game

I'm so tired of Rock and FrOzean making it to the Ro16 in individual leagues only to get embarrassed time and time again. They need to let someone else take their turn in getting their asses handed to them - go pepe and Bogus!

As far as im concerned, each match is an upset. Think about it, if you lost, you'd be upset too.

God the bisu fandom has gone through the roof in past 2 days >.>,
I would take flash > bisu any day. Very exciting/interesting GSL season thus far, and theoretically, it should just get better .

Come on Jaedong... Get the Bonjwa juice flowing, they're catching up . Or better yet, skip GOM and start training for the OSL/MSL. Or even better yet, win GOM to prepare you for OSL/MSL and to gain your momentum back. Or even better, You win GOM, but lose both MSL and OSL, leaving Savior to win them back to back in a triumphant blaze of glory.
