[GOM] An Upsetting Week

Note: This post was written by Daigomi and Tadzio00

Another round of the GSL has finished, and we're down to 16 players. Let's see who has dropped the ball last week, and which young players have been granted a chance to make a name for themselves.

Ro16 - Day 1

(P)SoO vs (T)sKyHigh
(P)BeSt vs (Z)EffOrt

The GSL has changed its schedule this season, from broadcasting four matches per day in the Ro16, to only broadcasting two. This perhaps makes the GSL slightly more manageable for both the viewers and the broadcasters, as there is a maximum of 6 games that can be played per day, instead of 12.

This week, the two matches broadcasted will be between SoO and sKyHigh, and BeSt and Effort. SoO has had a fantastic Gom season so far, taking out fOrGG in his previous round, and winning five of his previous six matches, losing only to Jaedong in the proleague.

He is going up against CJ Entus rookie SkyHigh, one of the top free picks in the fantasy PL, who has also won 5 of his last six games. Skyhigh has recently beaten by.Great, Rumble, and Nada, who are three respectable players but none of whom are Protoss. In fact, Skyhigh has only played one televised TvP so far, and that was a game which he lost against BeSt.

With Medusa being added to the map pool, pressure will be on Skyhigh to take two matches, and as an untested player in the match-up, I would make SoO the slight favourite in this match. However, this match is between an untested rookie and a tested, but generally weaker player that seems to have struck form. Nothing can be harder to predict.

The second match-up, BeSt vs Effort, is perhaps on safer ground. Effort is another reasonably new player for CJ, but he has become their Zerg staple in the proleague, sporting recent wins over JangBi, Lomo, Sea, fantasy, and ZerO. He also surprisingly 2-0'd Kal in the Incruit OSL last season, a massive upset considering the matchup for Kal.

BeSt, on the other hand, is playing in his worst match-up with only a 51% winning average in it. He dropped a game against by.hero in his previous match in the GSL, and before that he has losses against lots of weaker Zerg players. However, this is still BeSt we are talking about, so no match is easy.

Effort has a good chance of causing an upset here, but I would still call it for Best. Effort is in form, is good in the match-up, and has been consistent, but he is playing against one of the strongest players in the world, and even though Best is not great in the match-up, he should still be good enough to take the win.

Also, GOMtv is requesting that viewers ask (Z)EffOrt questions in case he defeats (P)BeSt[HyO]. Post your questions on the GOM Classic Community Forums for a chance to have them answered!

I hate it when they have premade questions that are stupid when we can make better ones..

I remember people hating on the questions asked for boxer because Susie was given premade ones...

I like pepe, but this is the end of the road for him. He maybe could manage to take one game, but I don't see him winning two of them.

Looks like we could have another Protoss only Ro4 in the making. I'm skipping a bit ahead here, but I hope Flash beats Bisu so we can (most likely) have Flash in the finals again. TvP is a good matchup.

Well I was wondering this for quite a while, how much money do the younger players make? I mean EffOrt's been a good ace option for CJ and he should be getting paid more than most progamers...

Anyway questions.... Haven't you interview effOrt like twice already >.>.

Ask him what his favourite unit is? haha I'm out of questions that you haven't already asked him...

edit: Or how he balances school work/gaming. And how smart is he relative to the people in his classes.

Do you see yourself doing something else as a career when you grow up?

He looks so god damn younggg

For this week, I think SoO will take this 2-0 and Best will hopefully win 2-1 allthough im not sure about that, will enjoy the games either way I guess
