Can't wait to watch, I'll go ahead and predict a 3-1 win for Liquid.

I don't have any problems with blistering sands. The teams choose their player for the map ahead of time so any "imbalances" shouldn't matter. The teams pick the player who best knows how to abuse the map.

Not going to change the map pool for the season, but I might change it up a bit for the playoffs -- we'll see!

FnaticMSI.Fenix <Lost Temple> (P)

Liquid`Tyler
I think LT is hard in PvT unless you get cross, then it's pretty balanced.
(Z)

FnaticMSI.Sen <Blistering Sands> LiquidTLO
Obviously it matters what TLO rolls, but blistering sands is pretty non-standard in the play there and TLO is good at non-standard stuff.
(T)

FnaticMSI.KawaiiRice <Scrap Station> LiquidRet
Scrap Station is a good map for Terran bullshit in TvZ, but Ret is pretty good so he has a good chance to defend it.
(P)

FnaticMSI.TT1 <Metalopolis> Liquid`Haypro
Even if it's close positions, ZvP in close positions isn't nearly as bad as ZvT in close positions

Holy behemoth this is going to be kick-ass. I hope this turns out to be as close as Dignitas vs Liquid was. Here's how I think things will go down:

FnaticMSI.Fenix <Lost Temple> (P)

Liquid`Tyler
Tough one to call especially since I haven't seen much of Fenix lately. Although Tyler played some good games in Assembly Winter, I think Fenix will edge it with his trademark constant aggression. I predict a real slugfest between these two.

FnaticMSI.Sen <Blistering Sands> (R)

LiquidTLO
Would love to see TLO emerge as the victor here but Sen is just too strong imo. Still, it's hard predicting the result when one of the players is random and it might turn out to be a really close encounter depending on what TLO rolls.

(T)

FnaticMSI.KawaiiRice <Scrap Station> LiquidRet
Recently, Ret's been demonstrating his beastly nature and I think his form will speak for itself here. KawaiiRice is a good player but Ret's just on a different level right now. Plus, I recall ZvT being Ret's strongest matchup (I heard that quite a while ago though) and the map will also help his cause.

(P)

FnaticMSI.TT1 <Metalopolis> Liquid`Haypro
There's little to seperate these two imo and it'll come down to spawn locations. If Haypro escapes close ground positions, he'll have a good shot at taking TT1 down and since there's 2/3 chance that'll happen (contrary to what some trolls will have you believe), I'll give him the win here.

Fnatic's Ace <Jungle Basin> Liquid's Ace
I think we can safely rule out TLO being Liquid's ace since it'll be 5am CET. I also predict we won't be seeing any zerg players being picked for this map. So that leaves Fenix/KawaiiRice/TT1 vs Jinro/Tyler but I'm not sure how willing Jinro will be after experiencing some bad latency in previous GCPL outings. I do see Liquid clinching the win though.

Anyways, GL HF!

I'm really excited for this because Liquid is the only top team we have yet to play, so it should be a really nice barometer for where we're at. Also, the stakes are really big, if we win we have a nice shot at the playoffs, but if we lose... it'll be tough O_O~

GL tonight!!

Completely unbiased prediction in the OP I see :D

Gonna have to go with a 3-1 Liquid win. Here's to hoping TLO doesn't draw a PvZ on Blistering.

Looking forward to these epic matches. I think Fnatic has a pretty good shot.

Fnatic did win against Dignitas and they did beat Liquid. Though I think Liquid is in much better shape after some good wins from Assembly and should be on top of their game. I have to go for Liquid for tonights match!
