Predictions! Based on nothing but my gut, of course:

(P)Pure > (Z)ZerO
--There's something about Zero's play that I just don't trust...
(Z)EffOrt > (T)UpMaGiC
--This could get ugly.
(T)Canata > (T)PianO
--Canata finally breaks through!... Maybe.
(T)fantasy > (P)Bisu
--Fantasy cruises; Bisu smiles in disbelief.
(Z)Jaedong > (P)Kal
--Kal won't roll over, but he will get rolled regardless.
(Z)Kwanro > (T)Flash
--A bandwagon upset pick? No, I just like Kwanro
(T)Iris > (T)Hwasin
--Good to see Iris back in form.
(Z)Calm > (T)fOrGG
--Guardians will be used.

Flash/Kwanro should be the best series.

Nice article.

One peeve:

How does everyone view Fantasy as an underdog even now? He's the best terran without a doubt. If you seriously think Flash or Leta is better than Fantasy you're drinking the koolaid too much. Fantasy is going to beat Bisu and it isn't going to be close.


Best T TvP wise for sure. Flash still comes close to that but plays too safe unlike fantasy. But Flash claims the best TvT, and I would say in a series Leta is almost unstoppable with all his builds in his arsenal and his insane execution. 1 mu does not make you the best Terran there is. If anything Flash is the most well rounded Terran between the 3.

Thanks for the kind words, but honestly I'm not very satisfied with these writeups, because you can't do in depth analysis or make funny or creative comments about them because there's just too many games. Nobody is going to read recaps and analysis of 40 games in the Ro32, its just too much. That's why I'm trying to summarize as quickly as possible and keep everyone up to speed until the Ro16 onward, when it becomes much more fun to be a newswriter.


Your right L

but your write ups for the next games will be epic for sure

I predict ForGG vs Flash in the semifinals and ForGG vs Jaedong rematch in the finals, despite ForGG's lackluster play. Basically Arena MSL part 2. I base this prediction on absolutely nothing.


Good because there's no way in a million years ForGG reaches the finals

Well you have to admit that Fantasy's TvZ > Flash's TvZ nowadays. TvZ was never Flash's strong matchup anyway. But I think Fantasy's TvP = Flash's TvP. And Flash's TvT > Fantasy's TvT.

TvT: Flash > Fantasy
TvZ: Fantasy > Flash (TvZ is always the bane of Flash in individual leagues, whereas Fantasy thrives on it.)
TvP: Fantasy > Flash (Top protosses can and do take advantage of Flash's predictability. He needs to reinvent his TvP asap.)

At this moment in time I think Fantasy is more dangerous than Flash. He's quite capable of playing against Bisu on even footing. This deserves to be a semifinals match, it's too bad it will only be Ro16.

May the BeSt man win.

Calm vs Forgg...guardians will be used? Lol if by guardians you mean 2 hatch lurkers or 2/3 hatch speedling then ya. I personally forgg will show calm who the pretender is in this series, though based on current level of play Calm should be favored, but its TvZ if it gets to late game forgg is definitely the favorite. I think at the end of the series we see forgg walking away with the V and his theme song, most likely to be eliminated in the next round.
