[GOM] Wraiths Ain't Got Jack!
Last week, the GOM classic showed us how a zerg ( by.hero) could lose a massive advantage due primarily to one of  Goojila's Dark Templar. We saw how losing 39 Drones, 9 Overlords, 25 Mutalisks and an assortment of other units to  BaBy's Wraith harass could lead to a win for Modesty. We also observed another long game on God's Garden, where BackHo, for a time, successfully used probes to intimidate July's Ultra/ling army. If GOM's most recent games are any indication, the rest of Round of 32 is going to be pretty fun to watch!
...Oh yeah, and Hwasin destroyed 815. 
Index versus sKyHigh should fall in sKyHigh's favor. Sure, Index beat firebathero in the Round of 64, but FBH has never been very good versus Protoss and he was slumping pretty hard in the four months leading up to those games. sKyHigh, on the other hand, has never shown better results than he is right now. sKyHigh's worst match up, historically, is TvP, but I don't expect Index to be the Protoss to expose that weakness.
I don't mind the occasional TvT-- sometimes they're really fun to watch-- but I'm not looking forward to MVP vs Shine. MVP, of course, earned his spot in the Round of 32 by eliminating Stork, but that accomplishment is fairly misleading. MVP is bad, and he knows he's bad, which is why he proxy raxed in the deciding game 3 versus Stork. He did what he needed to do to win, but I don't expect that sort of play to get him very far in this tournament. Shine should beat him in two quick 45 minute TvTs.
I want Berserker to take his series versus Stats. I really do! The man is part one of a two-part-formula that made up my favorite series ever (ShinHan's 3rd OSL, Semi-Finals). But as much as I want to, I can't call this for Berserker. Stats has shown some recent promise, particularly in PvT, and I can't honestly say Berserker has been anything but inconsistent versus Protoss. Sometimes he shows brilliant play, other times he just can't hold it together. Which Berserker shows up will decide the outcome of this series.
Finally, the game of the night! Flash versus Reach! Sorry Mantoss fans, I'd like to be diplomatic about this, but there's a reason I'm not a politician.... Flash is not slumping as hard as everyone thinks he is and he should manage to take out Reach without too much trouble. If I'm wrong, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I don't see it happening.
See you in the Live Report Thread!

SK Telecom T1 told him he wasn't allowed to win season 3's prize money.

MVP is going to take shine DOWN.

Also, if Index (nee OO[s.g]) manages to beat skyhigh I will be so fucking happy.

From my blog entry on the Index vs FireBatHero games:
So, FBH is out, and with him his glorious victory dances. Meanwhile, Index goes on to face sKyHigh. Well, shit. Index was fun to watch and I hoped he'd put on an entertaining show for several games to come, but I'd be lying if I said I'd rather have more Index games than see sKyHigh in the finals opposite Jaedong. Considering sKyHigh seems to have finally gotten over his fear of cameras, and considering his current streak of dominance, I could think of nothing more epic.
Except Reach. I mean, come on. Reach.
But I'm gonna have to be realistic, here. Flash is probably going to adeptly disassemble Reach, as much as I want Reach to hero his way to victory. Still, I'm still mad excited about the series, and I hope it'll be worth getting up in the middle of the night for.
Good write-up, Tadzio. Thanks for doing this work.

Really?
It was pretty good... but best game ever? The Baby vs Modesty game 2 was more interesting, imo... bigger "wtf" factor.
|
couldnt you just recommend them both ;;
|
Mantoss is ready to crush any opponent thats stands in his way.
Balls of steel.
|
Wow, that was 39 drones!? how do you manage to lose after that!?
|
Reach vs Flash.
It is going to be epic. Go Reach!!
|
Man, I like Flash but Reach is the last of ACE!
I don't know who to root for.

Many of the games were top notch, I was so glad I tuned in to watch all the games.
Looking forward to another sunday morning filled with Tasteless, SDM and some nice SC.

Flash is going to execute flawless, "geek smashing," or whatever Tasteless always says.
btw op: nice article keep them coming plz

24 minutes until the stream starts. Norwegian Constitution Day with its parades, marching bands and social interaction got nothin' on Reach.
|
GoGo baby. Too bad that was some good old wraith'n
|
I think with more experiance Baby will slaughter he wont make any stupid moves due to uneasiness
|
I'm really hoping Reach 2-0 on Flash. Mantoss Fighting!
|
Baby's micro it's awesome o_O, bad thing he didn't win g2 after so many good moves
{Edit] also this is my first post!! hoorray for me!! hahaha
|
Index vs Skyhigh was hilarious and actually makes me feel better watching him throw all those DT's away like that. I rooted for MVP and knew he had better dropship control. Berserker was an animal. I fell asleep after that, I knew Flash would 2-0, but still I can never miss a Flash game. I call Baby, Baby_BoXer

It wasn't the most strategically interesting game but it was definitely one of the most entertaining.

I really liked all of baby's games, I have high hopes for him as well as skyhigh.
