I am surprised that people think that Karont3 will win. Remember, Empire has 3 of the best European Terrans. Plus empire has VINES to help them out. Beastlyqt also got the all-kill on FXO.CIS, so do not underestimate him.
Overall I think that Empire has this, even without viOLet.
Considering that they were played this week he might have already left. Not sure about the exact date, but they try to keep their games pretty close to the broadcast date.
On another note Vortix is impressing me even more, he made a perfect decision to go for a bust in that game against Kas.

also building 12 gates, instead of producing nonstop from 6 or 7.

Vortix is tearing it up lately! The TSL4 qualification, and now kicking Empire ass.. Guy is making a huge impression.
Vortix did such a good job of keeping his Lings near the middle and far away from the tower so that the Hellions couldn't see the Roaches until the very last second. That was actually ridiculously smart. I'm really looking forward to Vortix vs Mista, should be a sick ZvP!
EDIT: People should not be counting out TheMista. He's absolutely sick.
Empire with their back against the wall, with Beasty, Kas, Happy and Vines all out, and Karonte holding Lucifron in reserve still...Looking very good for Karonte. It seems that I myself had underestimated this plucky Spanish team as well.
The duran brothers tearing it up... last time they played they even used the brother who is manager of the team o_O. I guess having practice partners right at home = massive training
So no one answered my question so i'm guessing that im right about it! Well anyways VortiX showed some great games in the TSL quali so i'm hoping for some good games here also might be a quite good clanwar after all
I play Terran so I don't really understand ZvP (and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Cats and Doa don't really know what they are talking about), so do you guys think that Mista came out ahead there or is VortiX ahead?

its hard to say, it was pretty close. I mean vortix did make alot of lings but in the end themista spent alot of resources on the cannons as well and vortix got to keep his third base + the size of the map gives him space to drone
Congratulations to Vortix and Karont3 for the all kill. Frankly even after seeing Vortix play the TSL qualifier I would not have expected that. Looks like we can expect great things from him.

once again
really impressed with lucifron's brother btw... can't tell which is better (even though head to head lucifron has the better score)
In the past LucifroN was clearly better, but now I think VortiX is one step ahead. While LucifroN had University test and such, VortiX seemed to keep practising more and it's very SOLID.
About LucifroN vs VortiX, they are even, sometimes one wins more, other times the other.
I have high expectations from them this summer and fall ^_^

Actually I remember some casters talking about this. They knew Lucifron and Vortix and apparently it's Vortix that wins most of the time in private games.
Beating the Holy Trinity of terrans in itself is amazing. Then add a Korean protoss - awesome! Too bad that Violet left, he would have made the lineup much stronger - Mista has said in an interview that he had to work about 12 hours/day and he hardly had time to play/practice.
I am sorry for my bad appearances lately guys , unfortunately i have to work in my farm 12-14 hours per day till 10 august and i dont have time to practice .

Damn, 12-14 hours per day? On the farm? That's already though enough as is, much less throwing in competitive SC2 games on top.
