After a week of quarterfinal games, only four players remain to contend for the GSL Code S championship. Reigning champion Maru will take on Classic, who is possibly his most dangerous opponent yet. Classic previously eliminated Maru 3-1 from April's GSL Super Tournament. In the other semifinal match, ex-KT Rolster teammates TY and Zest face off in Code S finals rematch from Season 1 in 2016 (Zest won 4-2).
The semifinals will begin with Zest vs TY on Wednesday, Jun 13 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00) while Maru vs Classic will be played on Saturday, Jun 16 4:00am GMT (GMT+00:00).
Man I can't believe GuMiho lost. It seemed like just before the massive break in game 2 he was ahead and about to win, but when they started again, he lost. His play was so much more exciting! I think Zest may win GSL again.

Maru has to play in the asian games regional qualifier this week. GSL being nice guys rearranged the scedule
Should be excellent, I think classic is gonna win it. I feel his PvT is sooo good and Zest/TY I think TY with the time given to practice I think he'll win a close match but I think he can do it via his control and not losing too much while finding damage on Zest.
Should be interesting to see what Maru and the Jin Air P's can come up with against Classic in a bo7. TY hasn't be reverse-swept in a major tournament in a while that I can remember so that'll probably happen.

Doubt it. Even if it is I doubt it's worth watching, Maru vs a couple C tier pros will be over in 10 minutes

His biggest hurdle is TY. If he gets past him, I think Zest will shock everyone and win this season should he meet Classic in the finals which is the likely scenario. Classic is top 5 PvP ever in my book, but even so, Zest is the best. One of his defining attributes is his PvP and he has a solid record against Classic.
