Given the records of the players and the fact that it's a bo5, a win by either Hongun or Coca would arguably be the biggest upset in GSL history.

And again, this GSL's bracket should make the first very sick final. Even if I can see Nestea roflstomp any terran 4-0 in the finals sadly. What? NesTea is strong but "4-0 any terran?" I would be more surprised if he actually DOES beat top terrans, they are overalls more strongly represented in korea. NesTea is lucky the top ones knocked themselves out. Let's look at the remaining terrans. Hmm, the best one seems to be Bomber. Do you remember the last time NesTea and Bomber played? It was so embarrassing I almost cried.

I just hope for the sake of a great finals it's not Nestea vs Bomber.

Game 1 of their Super Tournament series was closer then people seem to think. The level of play was some of the best I'd ever seen in SC2. Drops and attacks happening everywhere. I think it'd provide decent matches.
In an unrelated topic, how good is Byun's TvT? It was always his weakest matchup... but in this tourney he's beaten MVP, sC, and now Nada. Can he take out Bomber too? Gonna be really interesting.

If that ends up being the case it can't possibly be a bad finals :D
|
Actually byun might be able to beat bomber given he beat mvp and sc in the groups easily :D

It has been well established in Korea that blink stalkers beats everything Zerg has until a sizable number of infestors are out. It is no wonder many protoss tries blink stalkers (and fail because of bad blink micro and/or bad positioning). But in a head-to-head fight, blink stalkers are invincible as long as your micro is there. Example: Puzzle v. Sheth. If you are confident with blink micro you will beat everything Zerg has. The DPS + retention rate is just so good. Hydras with equal upgrades also lose to blink stalkers. (There was a thread @PlayXP discussing this)

Sick GSL top end incoming. MC, Nestea, Bomber, Losira, all are outstanding players best in the world...Byun is almost there too. I can't wait.

Nada, just like MKP, keeps breaking my heart! Was sure one of those 2 would make it to the final this season.

Wow,Bomber,Losira,MC and Nestea ALL play their best matchup in the Ro8,they're all clear favorites. I don't want to see ZvZ finals,but my only hope is MC beating Nestea. Losira's ZvT showed improvements with his win over TOP,while Bomber still suffers in TvZ (losing to Destiny,WTF??)

It's Bomber's season, I can feel it!

I would be more surprised if he actually DOES beat top terrans, they are overalls more strongly represented in korea. NesTea is lucky the top ones knocked themselves out. Bomber is the strongest terran left, and Nestea made him look like a scrub last time they played, which was not a long time ago. Yes, Nestea has a good chance to 4-0 any of the terran left in this GSL.

I wanna see MC bomber. Over long haul I think MC can redeem himself especially coming off that Puma series.

It also goes back to San v. Dimaga match on Shakuras. Artosis was talking how Dimaga was well prepared with roaches + hydras, but San knew that he would win with his blink micro.

Well, Bomber I wouldn't bet everything on Bomber TvT against Byun, since byun got 2nd place against oGsTOP, his best matchup is TvT.

Nvm, its MVP not Bomber
