SlayerS has this pretty easy, the only decent player NSH has is Jjakji (Scup, Tassadar, and San are ok but not overwhelmingly good). So it'll probably be a stomping something like 5-1 or 5-2

One day people will learn that NSH has ridiculous talent in it's smaller name players. They are team league machines

Have you been keeping up with GSTL lately? I am sorry to say that this is actually a close match.

Love people making predictions without actully watching recent teamleagues
NSH's terrans have posted good results lately but I'd still take Ryung and MMA over Sculp, Sting and Jjakji, especially in TvT. Yeah there are other match ups but I don't think it's anything Puzzle, Crank, Coca can't handle.

Jjakji beat MMA and MVP recently.
the result will depend on how Puzzle and Crank do. My bet is on NSHS.
Well this leaves seal and jjakji after this, kind of a rock and a hard place if sculp loses either you have to play SlayerSvZ or jjakji's TvT (He did tear through a load of terrans at MLG qualifiers though so he may be able to do it).
Puzzle out first? Slayers taking this real serious. Missed the first few games. Glad NSHS was able to take him out before too much damage was done. I hope San has a big performance tonight. He did awesome in IPL5 qualifiers and had a 3 kill in the first round of GSTL so I'm hoping he's on the rise again and will be back in the GSL soon. Whack-a-mole protoss ftw
When did CatsPajamas stop being called CatsPajamas?
Has he always been called Kevin Knocke?
On April 16, 2012, Kevin Knocke officially changed his handle from CatsPajamas to his real name Kevin Knocke citing professionalism according to liquipedia

I think he's safe but only by a technicality. Think that'll happen in 3 weeks to a month from now seeing exactly how far up that is in the bracket. Think there's actually two groups of loser's matches after the winner's matches.
That aside. Yes, I will cream myself when this happens.

Edit: Oh... Well fair enough, this is the summer of the swarm. Good call really NSH, MMA has been slumping, and you want to be able to beat both Mia and him, so I disagree with Doa, I think that's a totally fair call.

Want to use Seal as ace? Fine. But how do you not send out jjakji at all? Horrible decision.

Could have at least send out Jjakji instead of Sculp.
Miya snuck in about 12 roaches and sniped Seal's 3rd. Afterwords, Miya's ridiculous macro skills were able to take on Seal's army. Miya got roaches into Seal's base and sniped the roach warren and infestation pit. Seal retaliated by dropping 8 infestors into Miya's main, infested terraned the crap out of Miya's main and took out the hive + macro hatch + infestation pit
Unfortunately, this meant Miya was free to approach Seal's base with all of his army and destroyed Seal's final defense

Seal would've had to beat 3 players in a row, not just Miya and MMA so probably Crank or Ryung, which I really doubt would happen with either JJakji or Seal

Maybe they were worried about sending Jjakji out against a zerg. I know he just beat Monster in Code A but leading up to that he was losing to zerg in pretty much everything else including getting 2-0d by Monster in the IPL5 qualifier not long before his code A matches. Since these arent played live he may have been too worried about playing TvZ still a week ago or whenever they were played
