Liquipedia link is on there! I'll relabel to be clearer.
Jaedong's ZvZ is still incredibly good, considering how much more of a radical change SC2 it is in the mid-game compared to BW. Taking out Monster who defeated HyuN 2-0 is damn impressive.

Symbol won over Jaedong in the Final.
I think Jaedong might have let him win so he could get free travel as EG will pay for Jaedongs, Huk lost 2-0 against the 1st place unknown guy as well, so i think it's on purpose they let the less financially stable guy get the travel fares too.

Lets actually watch the games before we call it a throw.

Just because EG has the money to send players out doesn't mean they want to spend the money... Implying that their players would throw the match, making them pay for a trip that will cost them thousands of dollars is kind of a ludicrous statement really.

Symbol played weird this game, he needed to take his fourth at the 4 o'clock rather than the 10, his Baneling micro was fairly off and he delayed his upgrades too long. Bomber played fantastically though, his macro was godly as usual, and his positioning was great.

When I read that, I raged a little. It is amazing how little people know Symbol was an up-and-comer before the patch. Patchzerg or not, he has managed to stay fairly consistent in the scene.

If you play zerg you're a patchzerg, infact terrans are patchzergs, you're a patchzerg goddamn patchzerg.

everyone here is high GM. Or they would be, if it weren't for the infestor

Good series ain't it?
Maybe a Fight Club in the future.
It's what made TvZ my favorite matchup and something I always looked forward to watch when looking at groups and brackets. Then something changed and I didn't like it anymore.
Interesting fact of the day: Both Symbol and Jaedong were members of Hwaseung Oz back in BW, and are close friends. Jaedong is the person who gave Symbol his nickname Neeldong.

Before the queen buff he was nowhere near the top level. Like a lot of Zs, but atleast he played an unique style in ZvP and ZvT for a long time.
Symbol had great tactical maneuvering with moving up the ramp and using the Infestors to delay, so the army would destroy the Hatcheries. He also had a great defensive position by placing Roaches in typical counterattack placements, and maintained a low Drone count to have more army.
I hope that symbol wins. Not because I like him more than Jaedong, but because Jaedong has EG's backing so $$$ is no problem. And Symbol is currently teamless, so having his travel expenses covered is huge.

Symbol switched to SC2 late. He was one of the best Zergs in the Korean weeklies, along with Life. Anyone who watched his play back then knew he would end up in Code S sooner or later. He made Iron Squid finals long before the patch.
Fun day of great StarCraft by all the players. I'm happy for Symbol especially, because he seemed to have hit a rough patch with some fairly weak results and TSL disbanding, but this should be a great form of comeback for him. He defeated some great players on his road to the invite: finale (2-1), SuperNoVa (2-1), San (2-1), DRG (2-0!), Bomber (2-1) and Jaedong (2-0). Hope this is the return of Symbol.

mmmm that's debatable. He tragically started to emerge just before the patch so he didn't quite get the chance to prove himself.
Prior to the patch he had:
- Won an Iron Squid qualifier (Beating Polt).
- Got 2nd in the Iron Squid tournament. Most notably beating MKP 3-0 and Nestea 3-1. A 2-4 to MMA is nothing to scoff at either since MMA was actually still decent back then.
- Defeated Seed and sC on his road to code S. The patch hit when he faced Jjakji.
Also, even though a lot of Zergs found success after the patch Symbol still distinguished himself and along with Squirtle, Taeja, and Life I'd say had the highest peak of 2012. Brief though it was. Symbol had and possibly still does have one of the strongest lategames I've ever seen from a Zerg.

I swore I heard them say they might invite players outside of the qualifiers, so that might be a possibility. They may expand it to the Ro4 players in IPL5 just because of how much people love Bomber.
Dear IPL staff, please release the replays of the qualifiers soon (or atleast give a little bit of information about when you will do it). We have been waiting for weeks... Thank you in advance.
