lol "Fauxer". Interesting. How would you pronounce "Fauxer"? Foe-er? So like "Fore" but with a drawl? o.O I guess it's what you say once you hit a golf ball? "Fauxer!"

Totally agree with your predictions

All the games look good.

Boxer vs Nada is a battle of Titans.

Rainbow vs Genius is the 2nd from last GSL against the best protoss.

Zenio vs Nestea is a high level ZvZ which is rare and just crazy.

Foxer vs Kyrix is the two hyper aggressive underdogs battling it out. It will be a great set just because they both have very characteristic styles which are fun to watch and quite different from the more established play (like say FD or Nada).

I can see genius 3-0'ing rainbow. And foxer should win handily against kyrix seeing as how he took out fruitdealer, but kyrix does have a more aggressive style so maybe that build he used wont' work as well.

I think Kyrix's aggresive style is going to be very hard for fake boxer to stop

Tough matches to predict and they look quite close beforehand.
I'm rooting for genius but i'm not sure if he will be able to beat rainbow, genius has a bit of predictability in his play (now he doesn't voidray rush anymore) so I think hopetorture will be able to come up with some strong timing pushes on genius' expo in these games. I hope genius wins it but i think hopetorture will win it 3-1.
Boxer vs Nada I have no clue who will win both impressed me but I think boxer's aggresive style will pay off in TvT.

Foxer specifically prepared for FD's game style because you can see in the VOD's his attackes were timed to hit when FD was at his weakest. Kryix on the other hand is so aggressive and all over the place that his macro seems to suffer....which kinda negates the style Foxer has shown so far. Their games could be very entertaining.

ZvZ makes me sick to my stomach...regardless if it's high or low level so I don't really care how that pans out but I do think Zenio has shown more so far.

Genius is in great shape but ITR is a very solid player I doubt he will get steamrolled like some people suggest. I feel like he outclasses Loner and Loner was able to cause a few problems for the Blizzcon winner.

Hm, but the reason it's "Faux" is because that means "Fake" in French (I think), and that's pronounced "Foe".

That's why people usually call him "Foxer", short for "Fake Boxer", instead. It rhymes with Boxer this way. Fauxer doesn't even look or sound like Boxer.

I can't wait for the bonjwa showdown ^^

Go Go Genius! Last protoss in this tourney, and I think he can take it all the way. I see him 3-1 or 3-2'ing ITR, 3-1'ing FoxeR, then beating the winner of the other half bracket.

Are people forgetting that Rainbow is a TvP monster? He destroyed Tester last GSL. Seems people have lost opinion due to his embarrassing final last GSL. For a start that was TvZ and secondly this isn't FD. Rainbow's TvP is monster.

... saying all that. I bet on Genius. I just feel the momentum from Blizzcon will propel him to win the tourny. I think this will be his toughest opponent is all I'm saying and will not be a walkover like some people in this thread seem to think o.o. Could go either way.
