I will say it now, do not rule out Ryung, I have seen him beat INnovation a few times on ladder recently and he has the moves, if he can counter Maru's doom drop play it will be a close match!
I like both herO and sOs so i don't any favorite player
And for the last quarter final let see if Ryung is able to beat Maru (TvT could be very surprising). But if Ryung is the last remaining terran, it's not really dangerous for Stats the terran killer!!
I bet on Maru and herO but i was totally wrong about Inno and TY so wait and see...
sOs 3-1 herO sOs will win the first 2 games with a double proxy gateway hidden in herO's base. herO will win game 3 with a build order victory when he goes for fast DTs against sOs's lack of detection. sOs will close out the series when he sniffs out and defends against herO's blink stalker all-in.

That's called history repeats itself, not interesting. How about herO proxy gateway twice and failed, then sOs' DT rush failed, finally sOs win with blink all-in? Still we will get a 3-1 win for sOs

While I agree that games 3 and 4 in my prediction would be kind of boring, it would the height of SC2 hilarity if sOs once again beat herO with the same cheese twice in a row.
Can someone tell me please, why most people think sOs will win against herO?
Did you guys seen sOs in Ro.32 and Ro.16? Every Game i watched him in the last weeks was soooo bad, it's a wonder he advanced to the playoffs. HerO on the other side plays extremely well in all of his games so far.

i go and say 3:0 or 3:1 for herO
Maru will also 3:0 or 3:1 Ryung
sOs has a history of embarrassing herO is big matches hehe.
herO looks more crisp right now, but if they both play at their peaks sOs is the winner. sOs is one of the few players that can really switch it on sometimes
edit: I think Maru and sOs should take it, but its just as likely to go either way as TY-soO and Stats-Inno. Ryung take games of anyone in a TvT, and sOs form is shaky.

Basically this. sOs obviously has a lot of really weird builds, whether or not they're optimal is up for debate but I think sOs can squeak out 3 wins vs herO before herO adapts or figures him out

herO's idea of adapting to an opponent is not scouting his main after losing 2 games in a row to the same proxy gate.
edit: fun fact, according to aligulac sOs has faced herO in four bo5+ series in premier tournaments, and won every time (3-1, 4-1, 3-2, 3-0). he then went on to win $230K in total from those tournaments.
