Green - Win Red - Lose ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/MgCNC.jpg) oGsEnsnare - He has proved to be a very solid Terran player with very few mistakes within his play. I see him winning 2-0. Only way I see Kyrix coming on top is if oGsEnsnare throws the game. If oGsEnsnare just play the game like he has been, I don't see this being close at all. CheckPrime - Time for him to get vengeance from GSL Season 1 with the Zerg Buff/Terran Nerf recent patch. CheckPrime seems to still play with his micro-strategic play. Both players are aggressive players that are weak when the game goes longer than what they intended for. CheckPrime has been using the recent patch to his advantage very well as well saw him and his roach with their range abuse the horrible play by the Protoss player from the team ZeNeX which I forgot his name hehe  HopeTorture's drops will determine if he can prove me wrong and take the win. If the drops are ineffective, he will lose. With the Medivac nerf, drops have been less effective so I see it not being as productive as it was in GSL Season 1. 2-1 CheckPrimeoGsNaDa - Though NaDa has been slacking a bit in his game, I think experience will play a huge factor in this matchup. Plus oGs has been pretty prominent in this season of the GSL and some of the credit can be done by their leader Spunky. I'm sure he has strategies planned for NaDa to use to defeat Leenock. For Leenock to win, he needs to be aggressive and make NaDa uncomfortable. NaDa has a tendency to mess up at least once so Leenock needs to exploit that and prevent NaDa to recover and come back. 2-0 oGsNaDa EGIdrA - To me, IdrA is the strongest competitor in this season of the GSL with BabyByeBye close. I like TSL BabyByeBye because his build just seems very strong and reliable with very few weaknesses. He lacks in macro for just a couple seconds but that is expected when you play the micro-intensive race, Protoss. IdrA looks like he has an answer to any opening his opponent throws at him. However, concerns rose when he tweeted searching for a ZvZ partner. Hopefully he is able to grab a partner like FruitDealer or Nestea to help his ZvZ. I'm sure Nestea wouldn't mind sparring with IdrA as he too has to go and face a Zerg player as well, oGsTheWind. oGsZenio however has surprise many people including myself. I initially thought he was a weak zerg progamer when you compare to the other progamers but he has proven me wrong as he played remarkably well against IMmvp, which by the way has to be the best series thus far. I highly recommend watching IMmvp vs. oGsZenio if you want to watch a great series. Zenio spreads his creep well but now it can be beneficial to IdrA as well so I wonder if IdrA and Zenio will still spread their creep efficiently or just enough to go from one base to another. oGs also has some kind of thing against IdrA and is trying to find a way to beat him. But I think IdrA's solid playstyle will come up at top. Should be an awkward close match though. Close meaning that each set will be hard to get the GG. 2-0 IdrA | ||

As far as this thread is concerned there is no such thing as 'overpowered' or 'underpowered', only good play and poor play. Ignore this warning at your own peril. But but zerg really is overpowered in the last matchup. They can't lose! In all seriousness, I really am looking forward to IdrA's game. I want to see how the pros handle ZvZ. | ||

The oGs guys of course are not commies, but IdrA is as BM as Bobby Fischer was then!  Wow, I'm loving that analogy GJ To the guy saying he can practice with TLO and Artosis... Well Artosis is a commentator, doesn't really have enough time and isn't really good enough; and TLO is on team oGs/TL practicing in the same house as Zenio! | ||

20 protoss entered round of 64 (31%) 3 protoss entered round of 16 (19%) (expected: 5; -2) 11 zergs entered round of 64 (17%) 7 zergs entered round of 16 (44%) (expected: 3; +4) 33 terrans entered round of 64 (52%) 6 terrans entered round of 16 (38%) (expected: 8; -2) Is this just because the GSL zergs are THAT good, and GSL 'toss and terrans are THAT bad?

Not enough time for them imo. | ||
