I hadn't realised it, but you're right: ZerO has made the transition to macro zerg. When was the last time we had a macro-oriented zerg? 815?

I'm going to be rooting for ZerO through this, but I'm really afraid of his ZvZ..

Jaedong > Canata
Effort > Calm
Bisu > Iris
Zero > Kwanro

Semi Finals:
Jaedong > Effort
Bisu > Zero

Finals:
Jaedong vs Bisu

I think. (and I hope)

I am looking forward to calm vs effort because it SHOULD be good but i cant shake the feeling that effort will just pwn calm with mutas in a semi boring and not too exciting ZvZ.

these should be very epic games though. this bracket worked out.

if canata gets dual title, it's clearly because he's bonjwa. That and the fact that bisu and jaedong must be slumping

Obviously that is going to happen because of the new MSL format, organized by KeSPA ranks! Even the TLPD lists Canata as the first player! Therefore, he is the number one player according to TeamLiquid.

Canata 3-0 Jaedong.

I think Zero's best mu by far is zvz. When hes 'on', considering zero is the master of streakeness, even more so than Luxury or yarnc. If good zero shows up, Kwanro will lose every single game and it will not be close. If bad zero shows up, kwanro will win every single game, and it will not be close.

good write up

at least having all these zergs is better than having a lot of terrans though not as good as having protoss. at least bisu has a good shot at winning now

Poor Terrans, getting massacred in the Ro16, but still having twice the number of Terrans than Protoss in Ro8.
