Quarterfinals are going to be VERY lopsided IMO, I would be surprised if any of the matches get to a third game.

Nestea will crush Coca, not much to say here, Nestea is best ZvZ in the world, and Coca's already shown his ZvZ isn't top tier, losing to Losira.

MC will crush HongUn, he's unbeaten in PvP bar the loss to Alicia and is playing as good as ever, HongUn is decent but not top tier, HongUn might sneak a map win but I can't see him winning 2 games.

Losira will crush Trickster. Trickster barely beat Clide who is awful, Losira is really, really good. Not much to say here. Trickster already got owned by Nestea pretty comfortably, and Losira has shown solid ZvP against MC at MLG.

Bomber will crush Byun. Byun is good, but Bomber is godlike in TvT, in the last couple of months he hasn't dropped a single TvT series, taking out the likes of Polt, MMA, Ryung and MVP. Bomber only loses to Zergs.


So it will be MC/Nestea, Bomber/Losira in the semis, I think Nestea/MC is 50/50, both have such solid ZvP and PvZ respectively, maybe I'd give the edge to Nestea, barely.

The other semi I think we will see Losira win 3-1 or 3-0, Zerg is really strong against T right now, and bomber hasn't showed the best TvZ.

First ZvZ finals? I think there's a good chance. NesTea will win it if he can get past MC, whoever he ends up playing in the finals.

You will be surprised if one of the games go to a third game while it's a Bo5? Interesting. :p

I'm also not so sure about the Bomber thing. He is very sloppy in the way he plays (yes vs Polt, too) and Byun was really really solid, patient and save in his TvT lately. So if Byun doesn't mess up it will be a tough series (going through the fact that Bomber has better Macro and Micro than Byun but fails at decision making and execution sometimes).
Also Bomber's TvZ is fairly week and Losira's is also. The series could go either way (if Bomber wins over Byun), they both are extremly sloppy in this MU (or they are extremly sloppy in general, but in ZvT you get way harder hurt for it) so it will come down to who is slightly less sloppy.

Beside that, pretty solid analysis.

Nestea and MC both won their last GSL's with lopsided ZvP's and PvZ's, respectively.

Now they're on the same side of the bracket and we're spared the epic showdown for the GSL equivalent of Golden Mouse. *le sigh*

If Losira wins his semi's, the winner of MC/Nestea will probably take it.

Bomber would beat MC though.
