I'm not gonna predict anything, but to be honest.
sOs, Life and herO basically will get no time for prepare, especially sOs and herO, so Zest and Rain can easily tryhard since next day to find cure against them (oh, it means that IM will win against CJ, haha).

But if PartinG wins against soO this time, i definitely see him winning his first GSL title.
His PvT is hardly contested, PvPartinG is op and if Life advances, choo choo will save the day anyway.

If sOs can win against Zest, then he will definitely be another contender but if Rain is going to play whole PvP half of bracket like he did tonight - oh dude.

There's only one good answer to the question "Who will win?"

And that answer is "Maru"

PvP fest, again. -.-

Other than that - pretty good lineup. Maru vs Life will be nice.

Parting *can* Soul Train every game.

The difference is that it was Life *specifically* who showed that the Soul Train was stoppable.

I meant, soul train successfully

PartinG's PvZ used to be quite shaky, I wont be surprised if this matchup costs him yet another title.
But I dont know if any Terran can beat PartinG in > bo3 format, even Maru.

You know, normally by the ro8 there are a few good players and then a few players that are just surprising to see there. But of these 8 quarterfinalists there is really only one (soO) (and maybe Life also) who I wouldnt put in the top 10-12 players in the world at the moment. Really sickly stacked. Also Zest and soO only ones without big tournament wins as well. Pretty sick Ro8.

Ouch.. Would have loved to have Maru against all those protoss players but now he may have to go through against 2 zerg players that is kinda rough!

Against Life I have no idea how Maru will do..Life has had pretty good ZvT lately
Against soO Maru has great record against
Against PartinG hmm really tough to say but Maru has some crazy TvP

gogo Maru GSL S1 2014 Champion!!
