Group C of the round-of-20 saw Terran triumph while Protoss perished, with Maru and GuMiho moving on to the round-of-10 while Classic and Zoun were eliminated.
Maru didn't have much trouble dispatching Classic 2-0 in his initial match, using direct attacks to roll over his opponent's attempts to play Phoenix into Zealot-Colossus. GuMiho also won his initial series against Zoun 2-0, benefitting from an unscouted Cloaked Banshee in game one and defending well against 2-Gate pressure from Zoun in game two.
Unsurprisingly, Maru's elite TvT led him to a 2-0 victory over GuMiho in the winners' match, sending him to the RO10 in first place from his group. However, the games were not as one-sided as the scoreline, and GuMiho gave a good account of himself by fighting evenly with Maru in Marine-Tank wars for a decent portion of the games.
Unfortunately for Zoun, he exited the group without winning a single map, going down 0-2 to Classic in the losers' match. Classic defended his Stargate expansion against Zoun's 1-base pressure on the first map, and then won a comprehensive macro victory on Cosmic Sapphire.
The final duel between military returnees went GuMiho's way, rewarding the PSISTORM Terran's recent rise in form. Game one of the decider match saw the two players enter a hectic basetrade on Moondance, with GuMiho narrowly winning after Classic carelessly flew a Prism full of Templars straight into a Mine. GuMiho able to capitalize on his opponent's mistakes in game two as well, as Classic lost a few too many units while attempting some proxy-Oracle harass. This opened the door for GuMiho to counter-attack and take a fast 2-0 victory.
Code S will continue with Group D on Thursday, Sep 01 9:30am GMT (GMT+00:00), featuring Creator, RagnaroK, Ryung, and soO.
Classic had a lot of control mistakes. He lost that warp prism of templars that was there to defend against the army that it just flew into and died to. No micro at all. He lost other units in similar ways in most every game. He's gotten way better but he still has a way to go before he is an elite player. It seems as if Classic aspires to be the best again and fails with attention/multitasking. The rest seems to be there. GuMiho, on the other hand, seem to play at his on level. His games were basic and entertaining. He did his thing and battled his foe. Maru was matching GuMiho and then went to the next level. GuMiho couldn't keep up and just surrendered before his superior. Zoun was there as an extra. He allowed Classic to show that he had strategy, tactics and macro, and GuMiho to show some TvP prowess.

Yep, TL.net is a treasure. I sometimes get sad when longer pieces or recaps only get 2-3 replies (I should stop lurking).
Very sad to see Classic's mistakes, such critical units lost each time. I hope Gumiho gets into the RO6. He's never really impressed me (even when he won GSL), but his strategies have been fun to watch lately. Cloaked banshee in mineral line vs no detection never gets old : )))

I use the view count as an indicator for reader appreciation. Even without replies, just knowing a couple thousand people read the article really helps!
I will echo the appreciation posts. Especially for all of the GSL content. I always look forward to reading the GSL previews and recaps throughout the week.

A treasure indeed. I didn't know one could see the view count, but knowing thousands of people still lurk around and read the news must be really comforting. You all do an amazing job
