Almost forgot SortOf is on Western Wolves, could end up being a pretty decent match actually.

Its actually a bit refreshing to see HD and Painuser again. Although they still have to work on not interrupting each other. Anyways not surprised WW is up 2-0 at the moment. Ziktomini is a pretty good zerg player.

Edit:
Woot! Moon coming up next. Hopefully this will be a nice ZvZ.

I'll be surprised if Fnatic lost. I'm looking forward to seeing SortOf though.

Yeah have to say Fnatic should have this one, just the deeper, more experienced roster.

We got a real match on our hands now... If Fargo wins this game then I think WW has a chance, they've got SortOf waiting in the wings... exciting stuff.

Edit: And Fargo seems to have a good handle on this game. 3-1 for WW inc... I'm getting excited!

Bringing in Rain instead of Alive or Oz is kind of ballsy. I mean, rain is good but WW has 3 lives left, one of which will be SortOf.

Yeah, i think Fnatic is definitely underestimating WW- now the only have 1 player left, and it has to be either oz or alive, not both.

Yeah I agree, they certainly lose this if they don't take it seriously!

After a quick stop by Liquipedia, I wouldn't be shocked if they sent SortOf out first as Starnan seems to have decent PvP beating Bisu 2-1 at one point and losing to Sase 1-2 at Dreamhack. Though of course, if they send out Alive after Rain if SortOf beats rain then they look kind of silly... but I don't see any notable results for Starnan's PvT.

Edit: Um... I may have once again underestimated the power of the swarm.

Rain on hes way to all killing WW. a bit to many mistakes from Fanatic, good start but after the first 3games it all went downhill. last player StarNaN haven't heard much about him... don't think he can take down rain, considering how rain has been playing

edit: oh wait moon won over Ziktomini and Fargo took him out so not all kill by rain
