Most likely will be good games:
TaeJa vs. Bogus
FanTaSy vs. Flash
Flash vs. Bogus
Zenio vs. Sacsri (Zenio vs. Zerg is usually >ep-ic!<... I highly recommend the two linked games if you have a hour.)
PuMa vs. FanTaSy (I know his game against sOs was disappointing, but this is PuMa vs. Terran.)
JYP vs. soO (I know it's PvZ, but it's JYPvZ. Not standard [Immortal Sentry/Infestor Brood Lord] PvZ.)
EffOrt vs. Jaehoon (If you like watching a hilariously bad ZvP player.)
sKyHigh vs. BaBy
Most likely will be good games if the series gets past game 4:
ThorZaIN vs. Classic
PuMa vs. Last
HerO vs. Rain
(Yes, I'm EG-TL biased in terms of good games, but I haven't seen enough of the other players to know if they're good.)

Thorzain on Arkanoid in TvT... I anxiously await to see how this pans out. I don't care what statistics say- Thorzain has this! EG-TL fighting!
If it even gets to game 5... I see a possible sweep for EG-TL... HerO's PvP has been amazing lately... JYP has to play Mini, which if JYP scouts the proxy 2gate coming, he'll win, and he usually scouts... Watch the Jaedong vs. ZerO VOD if you have any doubts in his ZvZ... and It's TaeJa... How can you doubt TaeJa? Even if it is Bogus, man...

So uhhh.. this mirror thing could start to become a problem. Can't wait for the all-kill format next round, lol.
Phasing out maps like Antiga, Ohana and Tal'Darim Altar could also fix it in future non all-kill rounds.
I know Arkanoid and Caldeum are TvT and PvP prone respective, but those are newer maps and it'll be nice to see them stick around for longer. Plus TvTs and TvZs on Arkanoid are really really fun.

Great games for entertainment. Fucking terrible for my FPL.

If SKT vs KT reaches ACE Im glad to see Rain winning over Flash.

How in the world will we ever see a DRAW (decided by kespa) SC2 game?

Well, which maps would you place them with? WW and Abyssal aren't that great. Adding even more new maps would really tax the players in learning new maps. Remember that this current month is actually really good for players to learn new maps due to not many other tournaments going on. Start January, GSL will be starting and you will get foreign tournaments as well. Not sure if you want to throw in 3-4 new maps in Round 2. Maybe for Round 3, we can see some new maps.

so many mirrors, go EGTL and KT !!

Those TvTs will be the most heartwarming thing for me.

WW, Daybreak (even though it's kinda outdated) and Abyssal are all probably better than Ohana and Tal'Darim IMO.

only about half of the matches are mirror matches (which is theoretically the correct proportion since there are 3 mirror matchups and 3 non-mirror matchups in starcraft). It just seems like there are a lot of mirror matches since the eg-stx matchup has all mirror matchups and that is listed first. Statistically, there should be 1/3 mirror matchups, assuming that each race in a matchup with picked uniformly at random (you can see this since ZvP can come up ZP or PZ, making it twice as likely as a ZvZ, which can only happen as ZZ). On the other hand, you can't assume that the races are picked uniformly at random, since, for example, teams are going to pick Terran on Arkanoid. So far, it seems like TDA is mainly Z (~90%) Arkanoid is mainly T (~80%) Caldeum is mainly P (~80%)
It feels like there's a bit of an issue with the maps, too many maps favor a certain race so hopefully they'll soon change the maps up a bit. I think also Ohana we see Protoss a lot (possibly Cloud Kingdom as well). Then Antiga mostly Terrans as well. I think people said somewhere Kespa doesn't mind changing the maps quickly, hopefully that's true.

Daybreak > Tal'Darim, no question about it.
Abyssal City is too anti protoss, Ohana is is the better choice imo.

Daybreak is the boringest map ever made that promotes cookie cutter builds leading into terrible deathball games in almost every matchup and I'd rather watch games on Steppes of War, let alone Tal Darim.
I'm down with replacing Ohana with Abyssal though.
