Careful about absolute predictions some people have been roasted for them already this tournament. You'll get some Captain Hindsight's sending you PMs if he does  | ||

What series are both incredible from a drama and narrative sense while also containing some truly great games too? Mvp vs Squirtle would come to mind immediately for me Taeja vs Inno always comes to mind :> | ||

Don't think Zest was either until recently, just Trap was. The four (horsemen?) zerg have been steady for a good while, and the Terrans have shifted a bit with TY on top and Maru on/off. Clem is still ascending so it's hard to place him, except that he evidently has brilliant TvZ. He was only a dark horse coming into the tournament imo. | ||

And Maru... well it's Maru. I wouldn't bet my money on him outside GSL. Truthfully if TY plays like he did against Clem in the group stage he won't have a hard time vs TY at all. Dunno if that was a ping issue or just a brain ping issue for TY | ||

Maru's form also hasn't been great in the last few months. this one is a toss-up for me :0 Same, I think Rogue had some pretty favorable matches and even a Rogue who wasn't in his best state could get the 4-1 there. He did look much more good than meh though, in fairness. | ||

Yeah he clowned himself in 1 game against Parting with that stupid drone drill but otherwise he displayed an incredible form. Always one step ahead against all his opponents in everything he did. Based on what we have seen, I am expecting a 3:0 or 3:1 for Rogue here, but lets see if Maru powers up or not. | ||

Mvp vs Squirtle would come to mind immediately for me I also think there are a lot of series that get "saved" by game 5/7. Jaedong vs HerO from whatever IEM that was is an example (although I know non-HerO fans and toss haters have a very different recollection of that game than I do) | ||

Good series there. I'm not really sure what Demu is talking about in terms of Maru being the little brother to Rogue, I mean Maru was posting results years ago and if not always called upon I'm pretty sure he was Jin Air's de facto ace/best player. | ||
