The seventh day of SSL was highlighted by a meeting between (Z)ByuL and (T)INnoVation. In the other matches, players like (P)sOs and (P)Zest were fighting off relegation while a number of players jockeyed for a spot in the postseason.

sOs took the first game after adept harass allowed him to tech to colossi. He tried the same trick in game two, but this time (Z)Dark was able to reach brood lords which tied things up. sOs went for immortal aggression on Abyssal Reef, but Dark quashed his pushes to complete the comeback.

The second series was another ZvP. Once again the Zerg came out on top, this time by a 2-0 score. (Z)Solar's swarm hosts did considerable damage on Overgrowth, while a ling drop out-did (P)Patience's oracle harass and forced the Dead Pixels Protoss from the game in game two.

ByuL’s mutalisk harass and ling/bane defense earned him game one over INnoVation. INnoVation's hellbat push failed in game two, but he was able to power up on three bases and win. The third game was never in doubt. INnoVation built a sizable supply lead with minimal losses on the way to becoming the third player to reach a 5 wins in SSL Premier.

(T)aLive's ghosts won him game one over phoenix/adept, but (P)Stats’ superior economy and solid defense were the key in the next two. Stats had some nervy moments in game three when most of his army and four colossi were wiped out, but he managed to rebuild his forces and win 2-1.

Zest dialed up the pressure in game one, but his blink stalkers and adepts couldn’t break (T)Maru's bio/tank. Game two featured a barracks blocking Zest's natural and cyclones almost sniping the reactively taken base at the third location. Things seesawed, but Maru won a fight that initially looked to be going Zest's way to close the day out with a 2-0 sweep.

And there are still people saying INnoVation is just a "Patch terran" ;D

Looking pretty good. Inno, ByuL, Solar, and Stats for the post season? Dark/Patience could edge out Stats though and poor ByuL still has to fight Stats and Maru. Solar and Inno are pretty much set as long as they don't completely collapse.

Stats still has to play the two monsters, Innovation and Byul. Dark and Patience both have easier opponents.
I hope for Stats but Dark seems to have the best chances to win both matches.

Zest is far and away no longer the best although that was never in question these days his Lotv career has left Protoss fans wanting more but being denied by just bad meta play imo and this is coming from a Zerg player still has awesome mechanics but hasn't figured this expansion out at all it seems like.

Tbh I'm still not calling top 4. Dark, aLive, and Maru still have a chance. aLive and Dark basically get free wins against Zest, and I think Maru could pick up another couple wins maybe.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
