Some good looking games tonight. I'm interested to see how Elazer goes against TIME. Because TIME looked so good against SoO.

I think Stats will beat Neeb but I see people in the previous thread saying not to underestimate Neebs PvP so this might be a good match up also.

I think Serral will 3-1/3-0 Trap. Serral is just awesome at the moment. Of course, my predictions so far haven't been the best so you never know.

Definitely looking forward to Juan Special against Classic. I think he can win this one. Maru and Gabe struggled against Protoss. However, I believe Special is good enough in TvP to take Classic down.

Time 3-1 Elazer
Stats 3-1 Neeb
Serral 3-1 Trap
SpeCial 3-2 Classic

Time v Elazer

Time. His tvz is nutts. 70/30

Stats v Neeb 90/10

Stats. This is Bruce Lee vs Ali - Neeb would need a fist full of sand and a taser to have a probable shot.
Anything can happen. Like .... Stats can do anything and a win will still happen.
Prove me wrong universe! (jk don't ruin the finals universe)

Serral v Trap 55/45

Serral has an edge but .... I think there is a reason Dark played such an anansi-style in the GSL. Trap is very strong in full throated games and oracles have been really effective lately ... in the right hands.

Super lategame .... Serral would wreck him.... unless it is in the first few games. Like Jaedong, Serral seems to need a few games before he becomes the best zerg he can be.

Classic v Special

Classic is a huge, huge favorite - despite Special recently executing builds in TvZ better then Ty (my opinion) - I think Classic is one of the three protoss and an argument can be made for more. Special is good enough to pull off the upset but will probably end up instead feeling upset with a match loss.

Special is representing korean terrans well.

and Time is basically Korean terrans as well since he plays on Korean server. You just can't get good at Terran playing with foreign dudes.

He also got trained in the teamhouse in the past. TY mentored him afaik, not as closely as the TY&Special friendship&mentorship tho.

Neeb's got a pretty decent shot at beating Stats imo. He's the underdog, but not by a ton.

oh yes, very exciting that proleague and kespa and all the infrastructure of the korean scene collapsed, and combined with region lock it made foreigners look better in comparison as the korean scene degrades
