Format
The Evil Geniuses Master’s Cup Series League will feature 12 teams in a round robin format with each team matchup containing at least four best of three games between two teams. The top four teams at the end of the season will advance to the playoffs on a two day live broadcast weekend. Results Evil Geniuses vs. Fnatic
Wow this is probably the most stacked EG line up we've seen. Still it should go to the ace, with Thorzain beating Oz ofc. EG needs to win this to hope a hope of making the playofffs.
ThorZain 1-2 Oz (could go the other way, ThorZain has good TvP and Oz struggles lately)
JYP 2-1 Rain (would have prefered Moon or NightEnD here, Rain is doing extremely bad right now)
PuMa 0-2 aLive (PuMa hates playing aLive, its his worst opponent in fnatic and he has a terrible record vs aLive)
HuK 2-1 ByuL (well ByuL has certainly very strong ZvT, but he didnt got one of the Terrans. Iam not that confident he can already take down a Protoss veteran like Huk)
Ace match
Mindgames incoming. EG probably smart enough to not throw out PuMa or ThorZain against aLive. Iam going with HuK for EG here. While fnatic probably makes the mistake in reading too much here, and doesnt send aLive, who would have a decent chance against HuK as well as the Terrans, but puts Oz as their Ace instead, who will continue the fateful road of PvP-Its-all-about-Skill (un)lucky streak.
HuK 2-1 Oz
EG takes the 3-2 win and Fnatic fails to have a chance for 2nd place.
Wow, that looks kind of desperated for a fnatic fanboy huh? Yes Iam still that sad about the recent players results.
JYPvT is a freewin for Rain, allthough he isn't getting the results lately. Tzain-Oz, could go either way, should be nice match to watch~! puma alive, I think will goes puma's way, but anything can happen huk-byul I think 2-1 for byul, little bit of an upset
2-2 with undecided ace... Huk should beat byul... Tzain/Oz probs go to Oz, and Puma/Alive might go to Alive, 40% maybe to Puma, Rain v JYP just actually might go to JYP
T-Zain > Oz JYP = Rain (I can't predict, JYP is miles better, but sucks vT, however much people say he has improved in the matchup) Puma < Alive HuK > Byul
If JYP looses and it comes down to the Ace, I'm not sure who EG sends as their Ace. Thorzain maybe? I don't know who they have that can beat Alive if he's in form.
The match ups could of gone better for EG. Reshuffle the 4 and I could see a 3-1 win for EG but as they are it would have to be 3-1 for Fnatic. My win for EG would be Puma and as an EG fan I will put my hopes onto tzain to push the clan war into the ace match

Thorzain could easily 2-0 Oz, especially with his recent TvP (and Oz's PvT).
JYP's PvT has got better and better, only we only see him vs really really good TvP players, which I don't think Rain is.
Puma has very strong TvT, and although it is Alive's best mu, it looked less than invincible the other day in GSL.
Huk vs Byul - could go either way, depends on what mood Huk is in.
Ace match looks likely, but I think EG 3-1, or 3-2
idk, beside Thorzain they all got arguably their worst matchup (JYP not arguably ^^). Oz beat Maru, ForGG and Polt last GSL season, makes him the favourite imo.
Close match, I think it depends on JYP and Thorzain performing to take it to an ace match. JYP's PvT isn't bad really, if you look at his record he only ever loses to top TvP players, which Rain certainly isn't.

This is like the first clanwar Iam seeing him in that league. Not very reliable team player.
probably has to do more with waking up at silly hours and not wanting to do that... he didnt play much CW for TL either... guess Koreans more troopers XD

He only plays if its not cross server
hmm i guess that makes sense... only fight team like Fnatic (who used to have foreign players -_-) with all KR players...
Edit: That game from HuK was pretty piss poor. The warp prism DT thing was neat, but you can't get away with having that little at home and floating that many mins...

yeah,Byul is top zerg player in KR server now... But moon still need more pratice...I didn't see him partice very ofen... Maybe he is too busy with his families...
People, if someone posts a spoiler, the reaction is NOT to quote it, as you make me hunt down and edit every post quoting it so I can remove them. Do me a favor and report it and then DONT quote it.
Ok THANK YOU whoever edited out the person who quoted the spoiler. WHY does it invariably happen? At least one person always quotes the freaking spoiler >:[[[
I saw the edit, thought "whew", and after moving on, by the time I realized what had happened I had already scanned the quoted post -__-

I PMed both lol. I think a mod might have gotten to it. EDIT: Yeh, GMarshal saves lives, like usual.

I am sorry for what I do.............................
I really feel like HuK had a lot of opportunities to win in the games he lost :/ WP by ByuL, though. The reactions to the harass were really good like DJWheat said.

thorzain wasn't able to do anything in the "10 to 15 minute mid-game window" in game one either. I think we should just get rid of all of these old truisms that mostly stem from the metagame during the beta, because with the way parting or oz plays, protoss doesn't look especially weak at any stage of the game. Not saying Thorzain played like he deserved to win in any of those games though. I was really rooting for him, especially since his lategame tvp is awesome... better luck next time!
aLive seems to be really slumping hard, ever since he lost that Iron Squid series 2-3 to MMA. Must have been one of those defeats that got on his mind really much.
On the other hand, fortunately now with the addition of Oz, fnatic doesnt have to rely solely on him anymore.
ByuL and Oz is more than reliable backup, while EG has less options if one of their top players fails.

If JYP gets PvP or PvZ he's solid, though if it's a PvT it's basically instant-loss so kind of a gamble really

In all honesty JYP's PvT is OK vs foreigners. It's a step below, but so are foreign Terrans. I'd give him at least 40% chance of winning vs a foreign Terran.

HuK <GSL Daybreak> 
ByuL
ThorZaIN <ESV Sanshorn Mist> 
This might go to an ace match however gotta give the edge to fnatic! 3-1 or 3-2.. a clean sweep would be suprising either way.
