The GSL Code S quarterfinals began with a historic achievement as Neeb defeated Rogue to become the first non-Korean player to reach the Code S semifinals since Jinro in 2011. The strong PvZ that allowed Neeb to advance from the RO16 was on display again as he dispatched Rogue in a convincing 3-1 rout.
While Neeb's unexpected ascent in Code S continued, Leenock's underdog run came to an end at the hands of TY. Leenock had looked reinvigorated and dangerous in the group stages, but was no match for this season's sleeper championship contender in TY (Leenock's recent medical issues further hindered his efforts).
Code S will resume on Sunday, Sep 02 4:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) with Maru vs GuMiho and Stats vs Zest

Zerg has just won a tournament in Korea, calm your tits.
while i read this i realised that both zerg victories on korean soil this year where by non-korean players, maybe there is something going on here ^^
IEM PyeongChang may have been on Korean soil but it's not exactly like Scarlett had to battle herself through the best and brightest Korea has to offer to win that.
So, with the existence of Super Tournament 2, what exactly happens if Neeb winds up in Top 8 on both sides? Doe she just get in on the side where he's placed higher, or do the 2 9th place players do a playoff, a la Revival-Naniwa?
Hopefully they switch the days for the semi finals matches, or else Neeb would have to skip WCS Montreal. I assume they will.

I mean, that's fairly par for the course in GSL. Did you know that there hasn't been a Zerg in the semis 4 times in LotV? Neither other race has missed one this expansion. Regardless of whatever success Zerg has elsewhere they do not do well in GSL.
Yeah Neeb ! I usually dont root for protosses (except White-ra) , but when Rogue started talking shit I really wanted Neeb to smack him down not just in words but in play. Well done Neeb.
