None of these were particularly likely to happen IMO.

Pretty sure ryung losing TvP is always likely to happen though.

Well, considering an extended series is impossible in the winner brackets ... ^^

Why doesn't Heart always play like this? Looked quite solid.

Heart won after doing a bunch of nice harass with two banshees and several timing pushes against Stephano's third and fourth. He abused the weakness of roaches in ZvT very well, I thought.

That was pretty damn well played by Heart. Still most important part was ofcourse how out of position stephano was when he lost the 3rd first time. After that, Heart just followed it up very well

Don't worry, since he's playing against Stephano, we'll most likely see an incredibly biased cast again, to make sure you don't come to like him.

See ? That was false :p They actually praised Heart a lot here ! for a good reason :p

A lucky snipe on the 3rd and abusing the fact there's virtually no flat areas on the map to win. This map is just too good for Terran. Wp Heart.

great game from heart, but he also got a bit lucky catching stephano off guard with his pressure in the middle game.
game 3 will be awesome!

I mean the only extend series i think is ok is in the finals, one player from losers and one from winners.

Inori used several warp prisms to drop the main and the natural at the same time and distract Grubby's army repeatedly, denying mining and tech, until he forced an unfavorable battle to win.

Several warp prisms? I thought you could only build one at a time, like the mothership or the HoTS thor.

Yeah never seen Stephano make a good performance vs Terran on this map. Still props to Heart for playing it well. But now last map is Stephano's...

Game changing 3rd base snipe, Stephano caught completely out of position, from there on it was all downhill for Heart, props to him for playing straight up
