My lords! My ladies -- and everybody else here NOT sitting on a cushion:
Today, today, you find yourselves equals...
For you are all equally blessed.
For I have the pride, the privilege, nay, the pleasure
Of introducing to you two Zergs,
Two Zergs who can trace their lineage back beyond Char,
Who will do battle before you all, until one is the victor, the other defeated.
The first I met atop a mountain,
Where he defeated the mighty Pro7ect
and later ravished
the dreadful Protoss Sneazel
His homeland is Hungary
representing both sas and the Zerg race
The One, The Only
Sziky!The other was the undoing manifest
of the manly Moustachezerg
He became the bane of banes
of the Comeback Kid
I give to you
The first ISL's runner-up
The Sniper Zerg
Ace!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DafMvYYmIBg
INTERVIEWS
SzikyQ: Looking back at your run through ISL, did you think you could make it this far? Who was your toughest opponent?
Sziky: Can't say that i knew i'd make it to the finals, but i also couldn't imagine being dropped out. (I would have probably smashed everything starting with my keyboard and mouse :D) My toughest opponent was sneazel. He varied his builds and play, i prepared the most against him as i feared him the most.
Q) How has your practice been going? Are you confident in your ZvZ?
Sziky: I can't prepare as much as i want, it's difficult because of work. Still, i'd say im the old myself except for zvz, in which im not too confident t.t Although that might be because i used to play a different style in zvz. I tried to change it by now with more ore less success.
Q) Are you confident in your match against Ace? Do you think you can win?
Sziky: If i looked at our previous matches, i'd say yes, i'm confident and i'll win, but anything can happen. I've lost to worse players than Ace before, so never say never.
Q) Any words to your fans?
Sziky: Thank you to everyone who has been cheering for me, keep on! And everyone should come back to bw!! :D
AceQ: Looking back at your run through ISL, did you think you could make it this far? Who was your toughest opponent?
Ace: Well, I made the Finals in ISL1, so I knew that I'm gonna do it again. My toughest opponent was
Bakuryu on my way. I practiced only ZvZ's for so many hours before the playday, also in the Ro16 I had really though time against 
UltrA (Patrrron, ed.). My hands were frozen, I didn't play well, and UltrA managed to come back twice, and I could win only with a score of 3-2.Q) How has your practice been going? Are you confident in your ZvZ?
Ace: ZvZ is really hard, ling micro is like all or nothing, if you make one mistake, you'll fail. I think I'm more and more confident. I have really good practice partners, friends who can help me to practice as much as I need. I hope I can surprise Sziky this time.
Q) Are you confident in your match against Sziky? Do you think you can win?
Ace: Sziky and me are good friends, and we play some ZvZ's every week. He wins 4 times out of 5 games. If the games were played on the same day as the semifinals, I wouldn't have had any chance to win. Now I know the maps, I know what will I do on every map. I think it's should be enough. I hope for close results. 2-4, 3-4 or 4-3
Q) Any words to your fans?
Ace: huk, the last used shootout: GOGO SAS, GOGO HUNGARY!
