TargA definitely a player who is making a name for himself in the SC2 community. Kas will be a hard opponent, but I'm super excited to cast this.

Wondering this as well.

Thinking Kas should have this decisively, and didn't think TargA has a huge fanbase (although I have nothing against the guy).

Good luck to both players

Super excited for this, targa has been blowing me away in NASL, doing much better than I could have imagined he would have. Can't wait to watch!
The only way to attack structure is with chaos.

This is a very exciting showmatch.

I'm a huge Kas fanboy, but Targa's performance recently has been nothing short of stellar. I think this will be a very close series, and would not be surprised to see Targa upset Kas.

Well i do like TargA's play with the counters on antiga, and early game presure in the pref game. this might be closer then most think. Kas is playing incredibly greedy with his openers though phew.

Would be cool if you used an overlay that actually showed scores, but since you don't, can anyone tell me what it's at right now?

wow Kas is such a beast, just before the showmatch he takes down TSL Revival 2 times in a row. Targa took 2 games with roach-bane all-ins but in the other games Kas was just superior with his immense macro.
Huge fan of Empire Kas, The Destroyer of Worlds, The Machine, The Second Terminator, The Supreme Robot!

Kas is slightly overrated and TargA is underrated. This will be close and can go either way.
