Kwanro vs Light anyone? , i think there is the least skill gap. both are also good in this MU.

I really hope Calm plans something special for Flash instead of the whole "I'm just going to go 3-hatch and die" that every other Zerg has done lately vs him.

I really liked Zero's build against Flash in the "09 NATE MSL Round of 16 Day 4" - Games 2 and 3: overlord on 9, then when spawned 3 drones and immediately extractor+pool, then 2nd hatch and VERY fast Mutas. against Flash's fairly often used fast-cc the mutas pressure enough to heavily macro and get a load of hatchery's up and overrun the opponent with T3-units off of 4-5 bases.

I don't really get why zero gg'ed the last game so early though; I thought he still had a chance to win.


Btw. I think Light has been heavily underestimated for years now. ^^'
He is a beast. Kwanro is of course very good as well, but not in his best shape I guess... I voted for Flash VS Calm. Flash VS BeSt could be nice, but BeSt is not in a very good shape right now but Calm kinda is. Only Problem for Calm; Flash is a ownage-machine in TvZ.

Is it true Best has a 100% win rate vs Flash?

In the third set, zero had 3 base hive with only greater spire tech and no units after the last battle. Flash had like 3 wraiths and more coming, as well as 1-2 control groups of mnm; even in the best case scenario, zero's third goes down and flash expands like twice => gg.

(T)Flash vs. (Z)Calm is best on paper, but Flash has been playing so well against Zergs lately (whereas Calm has been erratic against Terrans) that I don't think it will even be a contest. (T)Flash vs. Best also looks good because of Flash being Flash, and Best having that undefeated record against him, but I just find most games with Best in them boring.

Voted for (P)Movie vs. (Z)Shine--both are up-and-coming players ((P)Movie for a while now, and Shine just based off the players he's defeated in this OSL so far) with a lot of skill but also a penchant for all-in/cheesy play at times. And PvZ is a pretty fun matchup. I think this will be the best series to watch.

Shine vs Movie is going to go five games. The rest of the series are not. 'Nuff said.

Flash vs Best look interesting

But Movie vs Shine is also pretty appealing (just not enough against Flash vs Best)

Flash v.s. Best is definitely the most interesting.

Flash v.s. Calm will probably end up like any other Flash v.s. Zerg game. The only thing that works against Flash seems to be fast Muta harass if Flash skips out on Turret placements. I am sure it is fixable.

Movie v.s. Shine would be pretty interest for Bisu and Stork fanboys such as myself...

Flash vs. Best

I am either not hyped enough about the other matches or I feel the result seems rather obvious.

Movie vs Shine - two newer players, either of them in the final is cool.

Flash/BeSt. But Kal/Hwasin, Light/Kwanro and Movie/Shine could all possibly be great matches.
Flash/Calm and JD/Stats will probably be onesided.

God I didn't think that Flash/Best would win but it definitely got my vote and it appears that others share my view. Weird.

Flash is going to crush Calm... look at Calm's games vs Fantasy :/. I really think it will go 3-0 or 3-1 to Flash. Even Calms last game vs Flash was kind of lucky and Flash didn't even play that well.

I would also vote Stats v Jaedong because I feel like there's a small chance Stats will make it good series.. but logic says it'll be a 3-0 also.

So Flash v Best for sure..


I think that Calm played pretty uninspired vs fantasy because he's been preparing new builds vs flash and didnt want to reveal them, and so just went standard-as-hell 3 hatch muta which he clearly didnt practice too much for.
