...And Group A isn't everything! Sit tight, good ladies and gentlemen of Team Liquid, because tonight we bring you yet another exciting event. As with the four contenders in group A, the four competitors that comprise Group F will be engaging in fierce mano-a-mano matches to determine which two of them shall advance, victorious, to the Round of 16, and which two will fall by the wayside. Without further ado, I bring you...
The Red Sniper,Hwasin!
Team: STX SouL
Last 10 games: 5-5
Hwasin, while never having the fortune to win any OSL or MSL, is amazingly consistent--He is the person you see in the Ro16, time and time again. If we were to rewind to 2007, when Hwasin was king of the world, I'd have no doubts of Hwasin easily sweeping this group. However, the Red Sniper has been out recently, tending to his grandmother. Will he be able to get his cross hairs aligned on FireFist's Hive? Or will ZerO and JangBi be too elusive for his sights?
WhileHwasin takes a few warm-up swings, I'll take the opportunity to preview his opponent. While he's definitely the least known and accomplished of the four in Group F, he can still be a force to be reckoned with. Please welcome...
Kim "I'm too cool for a nickname" Jae Choon,FireFist!
Team: KT Rolster
Last 10 games: 4-6
KT's captain is definitely the dark house of tonight. As far as individual leagues go, he's not the most noticeable, having only one noteworthy event. Unfortunately forFireFist, with his best match-up being ZvP (which is clearly imba!), he is facing Hwasin the terran first round, so he'll have to bring all his tricks. Perhaps he'll take a five-pool jab, or maybe go for a lurker-all in flurry of blows. Who knows? While Hwasin is favored for their match tonight, I wouldn't dismiss FireFist so easily...
Before I introduce the other two contenders for tonight, I'm going to take a second to squeal like a girl. Just kidding, but the females do go crazy over this kid. Let's take a moment to stare at those bad-ass purple glasses as we cheer on...
ThePrinceKing of Queens, ZerO!
Team: Woongjin Stars
Last 10 games: 6-4
Once again, let me comment on how cuteZerO is. He's so awesome, he gets kisses from girls even when he doesn't play. However, how does that translate into his Starcraft skill? His first match is against the super awesome JangBi, who has a 2-1 head-to-head advantage on him. However, ZerO's skill is phenomenal, so no matter what the result, we'll be seeing some good matches out of him, and hopefully a lot of parasites, gooey green goo, and broodlings.
Last but not least, let's bring in our other Khan Protoss, who so often gets overshadowed byStork, but takes comfort in having a 5-0 record against the Bird. Give it up for two-time MSL silver medalist...
HuhneumimUh... huh???JangBi!
JangBi, who couldn't hold his weight early on in the Winner's League, slowly picked up his game by the end of the season, ending with a 3-kill against WeMade FOX. Has he carried the momentum into this MSL? ZerO is not a Shine, and will definitely be bringing some more creativity than just mass Mutas. So JangBi, bring the high-class game we know you can play, and give us a show.

ZerO 2-0JangBi 2-1Hwasin 1-2FireFist 0-2+ Show Spoiler [Reasoning behind Group F] +
Hwasin is hella sexy, and will take it over FireFist. I sense 5pool. ZerO versus JangBi should give us a very nice match, but ZerO is so cute that JangBi should just give up before playing. But seriously, I call for ZerO to take the match. Hwasin hasn't been able to beat ZerO the last few times they've played, and ZerO's ZvT has been fantastic lately, so ZerO will advance 2-0. JangBi will wipe the floor with FireFist, though I sense another 5pool incoming. For the finals, I'm very conflicted. On one hand, Hwasin's TvP is subpar, being below 50%, and JangBi's PvT is over 64%, meaning that JangBi should take this easily. Furthermore, Hwasin is 0-4 head-to-head against JangBi. On the other hand, Hwasin always makes it, being the definition of stability, and this superstition makes me wonder. Let me take a minute to go find a coin, and I'll flip it for that. Okay, JangBi makes it out alive with the 2-1, though if there's any match I'm unsure of, it'll be this one since it's Hwasin in question.![[image loading]](http://i932.photobucket.com/albums/ad164/flamewheel91/cooltext454189067.png?t=1270105384)

Pretty one-sided. Loser tried a long-term strategy that didn't pay off, and lost before it could come to fruition.

Failed cheese put the loser behind, and he failed to overcome that deficit until his loss.

Fantastic query! Post me streams and I'll list them here. Massive props to Mystlord for not only streaming this, but also Group A! That's a lot of hours of Starcraft...
Note: Hey, so my dental appointment has been moved from 11:40 to 8:40... Sorry folks, I won't be able to update the OP until I get back. Sorry for any inconveniences!
