I can only see four top contenders though. Those being Jaedong, Fantasy, ZerO and Leta. Do we know what the brackets'll be? I really hope Jaedong is going for the golden mouse  | ||

The ro8 bracket is really weird, JD vs Zero while all the other games are inter-team games. It's the first time there's no protoss in the ro8 since... Shinhan 1. Nice writeup JWD, loved it. | ||

TvZ I think is one of the best match ups, kind of a 'man vs beast' feeling.. or Starship troopers, however you want to think about it. There are so many builds you can go in TvZ on both ends that it keeps it very exciting, especially with lurkers being able to do redic damage to marines and bio drops able to destroy tech so quickly, the list goes on. TvT is a boring snoozefest at times. Dont get me wrong, some of the large scale epic macro games are just that, epic. But in general they can turn into slow paced games that arent really all that exciting. Though I know there are people like Artosis who completely disagree and love TvT. ZvZ to me is so tacky that it is the easiest matchup for a far less skilled player to beat a more skilled player. This is always a risk in Starcraft but I think ZvZ outlines this best. One tiny mistake is more unforgiving in this matchup than any other by far and its ALWAYS the same 2 units. The lack of protoss takes out two of the more interesting matchups IMO so its a shame that none made it. I think its a slight testament to the newer maps though. Bring up the 5ish newest maps and look at the Protoss ratios, on average they arent very good (I wouldnt say they're getting slaughtered though). Just my .02 You might wanna read what mastermind put in spoilers next time | ||

Was it just me or did it seem like Zero read the queens thread posted just a little while ago. It's literally a textbook example of it. :O So weird. | ||
