Great preview!
Think soO's was especially nice, though INnoVation as the greatest seems a little premature. If he wins Katowice and GSL, then his claim on the throne will be incontestable, but not yet I think.

Please soO, the weight of all Zerg falls on your shoulders. Nothing against TY, but I hope he falls and falls hard.

EEEEEEEEEEk HYPU~~~What a treat it has been to watch both Winnovation and Stats stream this last week...Whilst they have only played each other a few times (my count was 3-1 in favor of Inno) the games were super close! Shizzz is real boys! get ya beers, get ya popcorn, get ya widescreen ready, roll up a little cheeky number, get ya special lady or man friend prepped TVZ and PVT EPIC ACTION coming ur way in bout 4 hours..ARRGHHHHHH (rips shirt off Hulk Hogan style whilst dancing the Macho Man Randy Savage Jig!)

PS MY GOD I hope Stats shows up and dismantles INnovation the wayhe did to Byun! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK...

Ladder is one thing, tournament play is another beast though

While i am a KT guy (only sporting JinAir now because KT is gone, rip) i actually kinda want Innovation to win. He is far from my favorite player (i am not even a fan) but i would love it if a guy dominates the scene a bit. Also Innovation is the closest to becoming the GOAT out of anybody still playing (maybe Zest) and this Mvp circlejerk is getting on my nerves

Yeah I know what you mean - - I totally thought Dark was untouchable for a while there, but even he slipped off. Mvp ruled a different age, Zest has really failed to show up this season (losing to Keen for example), but Inno is still consistent as ever. I got my beer ready!!!!

hyped for TY tonight! I think his wide use of the 3 RAX will be tricky for soo to deal with.

WTH ! Please can someone tell me why TY didn't climb to the main with his cheese in game 2 ? :O

The old school marines bunker rush is probably one of the most deadly terran cheese. You have no choice but kill the Z and he decided to rally his marines to his base after destroyed Soo s B2 ...still to don't understand his move.

Fortunatly, he won this one.

Go go TY !!

Okay, there goes my streak in liquibets. Two comeback was something I wouldn't predict anyway.

Honestly I didn't expect either soO or Stats to make it, but I have never been happier to lose liquibet points. Gratz soO and Stats!

Great preview by the way, the insight on soO's qualities seems particularly relevant today.

soO got some nerves on him, man. Last group, 0:2 to Inno, beat Dark 2:0, down 0:1 to Classic and came back 2:1. Today, down to 0:2 to TY which was just terrible given how strong TY was and then AGAIN for the second times, came back 3:2.

It shows that skills and matchup sometimes are irrelevant if the mentality is soO strong

. TY looked pretty tilted after soO evened the score at 2:2.

Haha, both my liquibets went right today, no TvT finals incoming, and soOjwa's first GSL title looks more possible now than ever.

Today is a great day.
