I wouldn't really mind if Ryung took the title for Slayers either. He's been so overshadowed by MMA and Alicia, and he needs some love too. But the hypothetical semifinal of MMA vs. MarineKing is super enticing.

Remember when Ryung was called the terran sniper in GSTL. He was killing every big terran with beautiful play. Nothing fancy, just perfect. He could win today !

I voted MMA, but i think I would be happy whoever wins, as long as it is not thebest. Because that would mean it once again would be proven cheese works, it would just be a repeat of season 3 where rain made it to the finals.

First thing I thought when NesTea lost was "holy shit we are finally going to have a new champion" :D

Anyone who doesn't realize how awesome the semifinals and finals are going to be is not a true fan of e-sports



SPOTLIGHT PLEASE!

I think I'm leaning towards a team kill final. Polt/MarineKing for the title of Optimus Prime and then MMA/Ryung vs. Alicia with Boxer in the background.

i would have preferred a bit more "variety" in the ro8 tbh, but now I'm rooting for MMA and hope that he takes it all and shows us some great games

I hope MMA takes it!

For all his unbelievable achievements in the GSTL, he just gets metal plaques!

This man deserves a big payoff!

The title is a somewhat play on words. In America, we have something called March Madness, a gigantic tournament of the top sixty four colleges battling it out in basketball. When there is only eight teams left, that round is called the Elite Eight. The semifinals are Final Four. Even the Ro16 is called the Sweet Sixteen.

Really feels like Terran has such strong players right now if you look at relative skill levels within their race.

Some will cry imbalance but if we had 3-4 Zergs close to Nestea or 3-4 Toss close to MC (even though he seems to be mini-slumping), I doubt we would have such high Terran representation as we do.

EDIT:

Oh and absolutely awesome OP

Yeah, GOMtvt is quite a treat. -.-
Looks like another event without finals to me.

Oh I see.

On topic: I'm so glad it's guaranteed that there will be a Protoss and a Zerg in the top 4.

SlayerS fighting. But tbh, I wouldn't mind seeing MKP finally winning a Tourney, he deserves it so much. Hope it's either MMA or MKP

About MKP
He's had such an easy time, that it became more interesting to know what kind of new ceremony he would be thinking up instead of wondering if he would beat his opponent.


HAhahahahahaha This was my first hard lol.
HAHAhahahahahahaha... oh man, hahaha... haha... haHAHAHAHA... ok enough.

About TheBESt

Tastosis don't know how he got here. Wolf and his Dark Templar casters don't know how he got here. Most people are still wondering how the hell this guy even qualified for the tournament.


I'll try to do this at my best without using the latin or portugues JAJA/AHEouihea Laugh.

"ROFLBBQLOLCOPTEROMFGWTFLORDOFTHERINGS!"
He just can't win.

Gogogogo SlayerSMMA or MarineKingPrime.WE, they MUST win.



In the beginning there was nothing... and then exploded

Excellent write-up, but so much Terran has been wearing on me. More promotional pieces like this would be a welcome sight.

I'm surprised this doesn't have more comments! Great article, really opened my eyes to new blood and a new perspective!
