Personnal predictions : Bleach (aka ZeNEXByun) should roll over FOXLyn 2-0. TvT can be a bit random sometimes, but Bleach is by far the better sc2 player in my opinion.He will not be out of place in code S. oGsTOP vs sCfOu is more close, but TOP has more experience both in the booth and in difficult matches, he wins 2-1.

Bleach, defeater of the God of War Zerg, vs Lyn, the WC3 legend?
oGsTOP vs sC?

Here's hoping for some Code S level play from these Code A players.

Bleach and Top are easily code S material. Sc too perhaps. Lyn seems to be the "weakest", I look forward to the up and down matches, THAT will be exciting.

I just pray these will be code A matches that don't make me facepalm the entire night.

Well, seems that Terran players are on fire (or imba *duck*)!

Code A Round 4 -> 4 T
Code S Round 4 -> 3 T, 1 Z

They should have done 1 Code A match followed by 1 Code S match on each day of the ro8, rather than put the 2 matches people want to see on 1 day and then 2 no one gives a fuck about on another.

Why some of the bad attitudes? Top and Byun both looked really decent in their quarterfinal matches, and TvT can be pretty entertaining (like anyone watching last night should know :-p). Anyways, hoping for some good and varied play tonight.

I think bleach vs lyn will be very onesided, but TOP vs sC could be good, and closer in skill.

Stream is up btw.

2 TvTs after the awesome games we saw yesterday, could be boring. I might just watch MSL, or I'll watch both.
