I don't recall snute being that good at ZvT my information on snute is brutally outdated though but if he's as bad at ZvT as I remember lucifron should brutally bop him.

I'm not up to date on Snute. What has he done to make ppl like/dislike him?'

Surprised so many people put Mana so low. He's really good and while his vZ is low he did beat 10(?) time FC champion Hyun in the last GSL up/downs.

I think you're talking about targa, he said at Valencia "Cheer for me and boo for hero" then he beat said hero so he's an enemy of ESPORTS.

Lol, that's pretty funny. Sometimes I can appreciate a good enemy of eSports.

I think Lucifron 2-0 Snute, Slivko 2-1 Thorzain, Vortix 2-0 Mana
But I hope thorzain goes through because he's my favorite foreign terran. I'm just a pessimist

8:2 vs MorroW, 4:6 vs Kas and 6:4 vs Lucifron, he's quite decent with his aggressive openings, but I'd still favour Luci here, just my gut feeling.

I think it probably depends on the mindgames between these two. Luci has seen most of Snute agressive builds during PSL. It also helps when Luci's micro is "on".

Chances are these games were played way before they met in PSL, I assume they played around the time the NonY/Major drama came up since they probably scheduled EU and NA to play at about the same dates, so it's likely that the games are 3/4 weeks old.
