What a way to finish off the NASL, The Emperor himself up against The Gracken. NASL has had its up and downs but this is certainly the note we want to say goodbye to a season of league play. This match will go a long to determining the top 4 positions in division 5. Boxer currently sits on top of the division 5 leaderboard, but without a win over Idra hes unlikely to stay there. As far as I am aware Zenio has already been awarded a walk over win due to a no show on Pain User’s behalf. This should place Zenio on top of the division 5 leaderboard with 10 points for now. Sen with an impressive 4 – 0 record against Protoss is highly likely to snag a win against Socke giving him another 2 points, taking him to total of 11 points. Considering these outcomes Boxer needs to win this match in order to retain his number one ranking. A loss for Boxer would see him drop down to 4th position. A win for Idra will see him move up to 9 points, equal with boxer. A win for Idra will see him take out the 3rd place in this division and drop Boxer down to 4th. The pressure is on Idra to win this match in a clean 2 – 0 to move up to 3rd on the leaderboard, otherwise boxer will receive another point and retain 3rd place in the division.

But there is more on the line here than points. This is the Emperor, and he gave Idra his alternative nick name. These are big named players, playing on a big stage, and at least for Boxer there will be serious consequences on the division standings if he doesn't win.

ggBet has odds available on this match and there have already been plenty of bets placed. While the odds have been set in Boxer’s favor all the money is going straight to the Gracken. Probably not the best gauge as the site is not available in Korean, but regardless I though there would be a little support for The Emperor in the international scene.

BoxeR 2-1 because he's already at the top of his group and it's BoxeR.

Right. I figured from the video on WP.org he wasnt going to play it. I'll make some edits.

edit: on second thoughts Zenio is going to roll Pain User anyway, I dont think this match is going to change things.

HYPE HYPE HYPE

Here's the grand finals scenario, courtesy of the numbers aficionado motbob:
motbob wrote:
With Zenio's automatic 2-0, the situation is quite simple: * If BoxeR wins, he's in the finals. If Sen wins, he's in the finals as well. If either BoxeR or Sen loses, Zenio is in. And if Sen loses and IdrA beats BoxeR, IdrA is in. Simple!

NOTE: Painuser is out of NASL, so Zenio takes a 2-0 win.

BoxeR clinches a spot in the finals with a 2-0 or 2-1 win over Idra.

Zenio clinches a spot in the finals with a BoxeR loss OR a Sen loss.

Sen clinches a spot in the finals with a 2-0 or 2-1 win over Socke.

IdrA clinches a spot in the finals with a 2-0 or 2-1 win over BoxeR AND a Sen loss.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=231223#two

Turns out that Painuser did play his game, but simplicity's sake, let's assume Zenio 2-0ed him.
Thank God and gunrun.

Too bad both BoxeR and IdrA can't advance. Instead I'll root for BoxeR/Sen.

BoxeR doesn't stand a chance if the games go past the 10 minute mark...his best chance is to do a FE into some sort of all in, because if he tries to play a macro game with the best ZvT outside of Korea, he's going to be a sad, sad, Panda

I want PainUser to beat Zenio. Everyone here is assuming he got 2-0ed, so I hope he won just for the lulz.

You underestimate BoxeR. Nobody gave him a chance against Sen in TSL, but he beat Sen, and he did it again here in NASL. So he beat someone who gives IdrA serious competition for the title of best non-Korean Zerg, and he did it twice. With lag.
