He can't any more.
Regarding to RedEye's post from a couple of minutes ago, lower bracket winner will play for second or third place with the upper finals loser, so the best he could do would be second place.
It's double elimination. Demuslim can still win it but he needs to win 3 best of 3's in a row (one in lower bracket, and two in final).

Redeye was the counter strike caster for the esl. He always did a great job!

This match is actually, technically the lower bracket FINAL. The winner of it is the lower bracket "champion" if you like.
The Upper bracket final then takes place, but the loser doesn't technically drop to the lower bracket, they instead have a "play off" in what is traditionally called the Consolation final (NOT consolidation final as I have seen), which is attended by the upper bracket final loser and the lower bracket winner, the loser of which finishes 3rd.
The final match is the grand final obviously.
Double elimination is used in many SC2 tournaments. We typically call them the LB final, WB final and grand final.

lol? guaranteed viewers won't drop at all. In anything it will just increase. There is more than 1 game left you know?
I know man, I wasn't being that serious about it.
On another note, the host is a total badass, and I have an eye for this kind of things.

- Australia vs. England at the Oval for cricket! Gogo.
ah, but that's meaningless 50 over cricket, is it not?
It is, I'm purely a Test Fan for the most part, and am going down to the Oval next month for England vs. SA for the #1 spot in Tests, but hey, it's mindless cricket and against the convicts, might as well.

Shame its on Sky really. God I wish the cricket was still on free TV, though the BBC radio coverage is usually pretty great it just isn't the same.
I think Zikto will win it all, though I kind of think Recco is a better player I haven't seen much of his ZvZ.
Hey, I was in the US till last week, and I didn't have sky at all. That was difficult. Which is why I'm glad I'll be able to see the 1st Test, but only Day 3 and Day 4 before I have to fly home.
And Demuslim should want Zikto to win. He could beat Recco in 1 best of 3, but not 2 best of 3s probably.
