Assembled netizens of Team Liquid, for tonight's show we bring to you four contestants, who will be vying for two seats in the Round of 16. First up I present to you the Tyrant, defending champion of the MSL...
The one, the only, Lee Jaedong!
Team: Jaedong OZ
Last 10 games: 7-3
Enough has been said both about this man's prowess and about his recent "slump." Even with his recent injury, Jaedong was still fit enough to trounce Mr. Anderson Silva in the UFC Championship. The real question tonight is: will Jaedong be able to get his revenge on BaBy? Can he avoid getting Hyuked? Will theSkiing Watermelon take him down?
"Revenge is the name of the game tonight.
Without further ado, let's bring in our next contender! Recently upsetting Jaedong in the OSL Ro32 and making another astounding upset recently, a grown-up BaBy is here to challenge the Tyrant! Having taken him down not once, but twice, in a convincing fashion, will BaBy be able to repeat? I'm still pulling for Jaedong, but lets give a warm welcome to...
Jun "I'm-not-a-BaBy" Tae Yang!
Team: WeMade FOX
Last 10 games: 5-5
Don't let those last 10 games fool you. BaBy has had some very impressive wins recently, and is looking for more. As the dual leaguer this time around, he's got some pretty big hopes. Can he nab gold? Will BaBy be able to walk the Royal Road? If he wants to, first he has to get past the Tyrant, and things are definitely looking good for BaBy. While he's 2-3 head-to-head with Jaedong, he's taken the most recent two games. However, BaBy better bring his S(class-upsetting)-game or else risk having his shooting star shot down by the Legend Killer.
"Mom, dad, when I win this tournament, will you buy me a car?"
On the other half of the arena, we have two more challengers vying for a seat to the Ro16. In the left corner, possessing a mean left cross and some mean mutalisk micro, please welcome...
Park Jae Hyuk Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk...
Cough, ahem. Sorry about that. Throat went a bit funny right there. Anywho...

Hyuk has made ripples in the pro scene before, most notably for his clashes with Jaedong, where he is 2-2 with the beast, winning their two most recent fights. While his other match ups may be less-than-par, his ZvZ shouldn't be messed with! In a pre-match interview, Hyuk said he found himself very happy to be in a group with 3 zergs, since that'd give him a huge chance to abuse the Hyuk effect to the fullest... hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk cough cough. Sorry again. Will Hyuk be able to Hyuk (I love this verb!) his way to the Round of 16? Or will he be taken out faster than it takes for me to go grab a drink of water... hyuk... hyuk...
"Hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk hyuk..."
While Jaedong and BaBy face off tonight, Hyuk gets to fight a legendary opponent! Sadly however, the legend today consists less and less about the man's Starcraft skill, but more and more about his odd... choice of green clothing. Ladies and gents, let's give a thunderous round of applause to...
Park "No I'm not Seedless" Sung Joon, better known to you as JulyZerg!
Team: STX SouL
Last 10 games: 6-4
July's accomplishments stretch back a long time, and he's been nabbing gold since 2003. Tushin pioneered the modern mutalisk micro, and zerg mutalisks have been tearing up the sky ever since. However, July has not been performing recently like the champion he once was. Will this trailblazer be able to make a comeback? Or is he next in the line to get Hyuked? Rest assured, this is one watermelon you won't want to mess with.

Jaedong's looking for revenge against BaBy for knocking him out of the OSL, and given the Tyrant's track record I'll put him up for winning that. Hyuk versus July, sadly, we're going to give to the Hyukster both since that's what Hyuk does, and July is nowhere near his old level of play. In the winner's round, although Hyuk is super effective against Jaedong, as long as the Dong doesn't decide to 12pool he should be fine. Once again, July is set to lose, since BaBy's TvZ is nothing to be laughed at. With that SaiD, I'll give BaBy the advantage over Hyuk in the final match.
Of course, this group I feel is the most likely for upsets. Jaedong has been "slumping," BaBy is hitting his potential, July is, well, July, and ZvZs may get Hyuked.

Well-played by the winner. However, I feel as if the loser didn't make quite the right overall decisions... Decent game to watch though, though not too much 'excitement.'
+ Show Spoiler [Game 2] +
The Hyuk effect definitely took place. Loser could've saved himself, I feel, quite easily with some spores...
+ Show Spoiler [Winner's Match] +
One base versus one base. Interesting game, but pitiful play by the loser...
+ Show Spoiler [Loser's Match] +
Micro-intensive. Nice harassment prevention by the loser, but it wasn't enough at the pivotal moment.
+ Show Spoiler [Final Match] +
Very nice zergling micro by the winner. Brutal. Needed.
A good question! Post me streams and I'll list them here.

I'd like to take a moment to thank snowdrift86, from where I got the inspiration to do LR OPs like this... thanks!
Hmm and poll:
So I'm going to just stay up all night to watch these matches... but I want to watch Group F go as well...
Poll: Should flamewheel91 stay up and make the Group F LR OP?
(Vote): Yeah dawg
(Vote): Nah dawg, that ain't you.
