Yep. I'm gonna say if spanishiwa hits the infestor broodlords without much damage or relative safely he wins 4-0. if terran can manage to win off 2 base tank marine or other various all-ins, he will win. So i'm gonna predict 4-0 for spanishwa or 4-3 for spanishiwa, the 3 games in that scenario gosi will have won with a timing attack or all-in off 1-2 bases. | ||

I don't really think Spanishiwa getting beaten by Destiny is much of an indicator since Spanishiwa has stated on more than one occasion that ZvZ is his weakest match-up. I'm more curious to see what kind of role the maps will play, whether or not the matches play exactly into what Idra said during State of the Game this week. (Difficulty in scouting for ZvT on larger maps make it so that Z have to play blind, and therefore inherently behind in the match-up) | ||

I'm not really sure whose deserve more my loyalty  MEXICO goo mexico! duhhh..... i dont think people know how good terran really is....like if you watch his decision making for how young he is. its pretty damn impressive. he is only 17 and he knows exactly what to do and his multi task is probably his strongest area. I think spanishiwa is good in terms of macro, but will have a lot of problems dealing with a higher level terran. I mean the guy laddered for 2-3 after coming onto sc2 from bw and he was top ranked in GM already o.O... so yeah... go mexico  | ||

I honestly think they should be great games and I'm not sure Span will be able to handle Major's late game constant aggression. Spanishiwa thrives off of constantly being the attacker, the harasser, the offensive, and with Major's skills and playstyle I don't know if he'll be able to get comfortable. That being said, both players are incredible and they should be really fun to watch. | ||

Just because you can't macro doesn't mean it's imbalanced. Take a look at every major tournament, terrans have a 50%+ win rate vs zerg, more then often 75% of those games being macro. Spanishiwa's style is one of the easily counterable in the game. If you scan and don't see gas, take a 3rd. It's that simple. | ||

For some reason EU/Korean terrans are doing good vs zergs but those 2 + many other NA terrans are struggling. I do think major will win this though, if it gates late game broodlord/infestor and he makes ghosts which is what needs too be used then he'll win even late game, if he does the usual and doesn't make any ghosts I could see spanishiwa winning again with his broodlord/infestor style late game with queens. | ||
