http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_VIII_-_Sao_Paulo

The third day of IEM Sao Paulo ended with (P)MC and (T)mYi.jjakji booking a semi-final match against each other as the other half of the bracket was left to be played out on the final day.

The day started off with the final two groups of of the Ro16 being played. Group C gave way to predictable results, as the Korean Terrans (T)Polt and (P)CJ_herO advanced over the Brazilians Tunico and Kelazhur. In contrast, Group D provided quite the surprise, as the foreigner duo of (P)mYi.ABomB and (T)ROOT.MajOr bested CJ Entus' (T)Bbyong and (T)trOt to advance to the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately for ABomB, his underdog run was cut short soon after as he was shut out by MC in their quarterfinal match. Meanwhile, jjakji (who took second place in his Ro16 group on the previous day) defeated Polt on the other side of the bracket to advance to the semifinals.

IEM Sao Paulo will conclude on February 1st, with the remainder of the bracket being played out until a champion is crowned.

Was super impressed with Abomb. Didn't expect that. Now lets hope for a beautiful foreigner upset tomorrow!

Bomber should take this tournament, he is a class above the others here... but we all know how inconsistent that young man is.

Jjakji, Bomber and MC are dandys, you know.

You can go to ASUS ROG Winter 2014, but it's held in Finland, AND in january. So cold, ugh !

Or you can go to IEM Sao Paulo, which is held in... Brazil. Summer. Beaches. Girls. Caipirinha.

You can't go wrong with Brazil, seriously.

herO 3-2 Major
TLO 1-3 Bomber
Jjakji 2-3 MC (this will be a reverse sweep)
herO 3-1 Bomber
MC 4-2 herO

Major is pretty good but he and TLO are foreigners. MC will be awesome against jjakji and Bomber's law will activate. I pick MC in the finals so he can win two finals in the space of about a week.

lol no way MC beats Jjakji.. sorry dude. He hasn't beaten him yet in tournament play, at least that's what Jjakji said during his postgame interview. And even if MC and herO meet in the finals, herO will crush with some amazing PvP that even MC can't comprehend! Just you wait and see!

Even his low GM coach did better vs ABomb though. He sure can't be proud.

Gee, wonder if it'll be hero vs bomber in the other final?

It'll be pretty cool if we randomly see tlo or major win but I don't think anyone's holding out for this one.

First game was proxy DTs which did more than crippling damage, second game was weird, dont really remember what happened, but it was a macro game, all I remember is a SCV pull from bbyong about 40 supply down tho
