The final group of the round of 16 took place in the new GSL time slot. Group D was highlighted by a pair of Jin Air Green Wings in Maru and sOs. They were joined by KeeN and Bunny, two in-form Terrans.
The group started with sOs vs Keen. Game 1 featured a failed stalker attack, tank push and colossus move out. In the end it was Keen who ended up on top. sOs won game 2 before losing a blundering affair in game 3, sending Keen to the winner’s match. Despite Terran's strength as of late, Maru vs Bunny was only the second TvT of the round of 16. Besides two impetuous drops, Maru looked every bit the title contender as he dispatched Bunny without the need of a third game.
The winner’s match was more of the same. A number of excellent maneuvers in game one culminated in a potent doom drop and a Maru victory.
Game two was rather brief as Maru’s proxy reaper build completely dismantled Keen. With that Maru moved on to the quarterfinals and a meeting with Ryung.
sOs vs Bunny kicked off with an adept/phoenix steamroll that put sOs in the lead. Game two was another adept themed stomping. A strong timing with a warp prism was enough to put sOs into the final match.
The final series was a rematch of the day’s first matchup. sOs and Keen went at it again, with the first game taking place on Proxima Station. sOs was keen to end game 1 quickly and he did just that with a devastating adept all in. Game 2 was a demonstration in staunch defense. For the first time in the series sOs sat back, researching blink and glaives of a double twilight council. sOs parlayed that into a strange colossus composition (albeit without thermal lance) that put an end to the game and propelled sOs into the round of 8 where he will face off against herO.
This leaves us with a complete playoffs bracket. Join us on Wednesday 22 February for our first pair of quarterfinals.
Well soO let's get er done my Zerg brother real talk though INnoVation is my predicted champ the man is a machine and Terran is riding high right now but we will see.
The way sOs ADEPTED both Keen and Bunny makes me confused. Did sOs remind other Protoss players that Adept all in is still a very strong strategy vs Terran or these two Terran are just that bad ? Would it be the same result if sOs play against Inno or TY ?

I don't see it working on Inno or TY, Bunny or Keen are not even close to them.

well let's not forget that sOs can manage to make work stuff that isn't supposed to work : not only he has excellent micro but he is a strategical genius when it comes to find out the one build that will catch his opponent off guard.

sOs and herO will battle to know who will adept TY out of code S
Otherwise I hope we get INno vs Maru, but Ryung is a wild card in TvT. If I had to bet I'd say the winner will be a T coming out of the lower bracket, and that this T will most likely be INno.

Could sOs beat TY, Innovation, or Maru with an Adept all in? Probably if they didn't see it coming, but he couldn't win a series doing it.
Despite some failures in control (multiple armies sent with move command, at least 3 oracles lost to widow mines early) and decision making, sOs was clearly on another tier than KeeN and Bunny. Unless he seriously steps up his game, he won't be against the Terran gods.
