HerOIT'S LIQUID HERO TIME!!! God I love this guy. This is a man who decided to make it all the way to the Ro8 during his very first debut in Code S. HerO, you have proven yourself time and time again. Tonight however, is not the time to relax just because you've made great progress. No, tonight is where you must put everything you've ever learned and apply it in full force. Your opponent is no measly laughing matter. He is the out of this world -

SuperNoVaI honestly have no idea what to think about SuperNoVa. This dude is a baller Terran. It's been proven time and time again. However, when it comes to the GSL, SuperNoVa has always fallen just a bit short of the finish line. Now tonight, he will have a chance to prove that he is a true contender for the GSL title. Will we see SuperNoVa triumphantly walk into the Ro4? Only time will tell.....
TaeJaTaeJa..... you are one interesting guy, you know that? When you were in SlayerS you NEVER made it past Code S Ro32. But the SECOND you join TeamLiquid you decide to go into total boss mode and head straight into Code S Ro8? You sir, owe SlayerS_BoxeR an apology. But it's okay, cause TL loves you :D. But your fans are not going to be enough for you to just easily waltz into the Ro4, because the man you are facing is steadily making the same rise to fame as you are doing. Be very careful tonight TaeJa, your opponent is the feared......

WartortleAhhhhh...... StarTaleWartortle...... how I love you so. You decided you were tired of being Ash Ketchum's never evolve even after going through several seasons of notorious battles, gym leaders, and an Indigo Plateau league Squirtle and decided to boss it up eh? U hit that lvl 16 in IPL and became a monstrous Wartortle. Unfortunately Squirtle, you got to get dat GSL trophy if you ever want to become a badass dual cannon wielding Blastoise. BUT WATCH OUT! TaeJa knows where the "B" button is, and he ain't afraid to spam it!

Game 1 was SICK! HerO opens up with a ballsy 4 gate, and NoVa JUST BARELY scouts it in time to block it. Game transitions into both players expanding and a timing attack from NoVa. NoVa decides to contain HerO and HerO was forced to try to bust out

Game 2 was pretty awesome. It started off very standard from both sides so there was no action until mid game. But mid game was BIM BAM BOOM BAMBOOZLE! Action going on here and there constantly!

Game 3 was all about SuperNoVa. He decided to bust out the ballsy banshee+thor+marine aggression. Unfortunately for HerO, he never scouted the thors and only just found out as NoVa was right at HerO's door.

Game 4 was where both players busted out some sick strategies. The game ended early but it was well worth the watch.

Game 5 seemed pretty dull at first. HerO and NoVa just were not attacking. But the wait was well worth it as the actions that followed through was not disappointing in the slightest!

Game 1 consisted of TaeJa and Squirtle both playing very standard. Or at least it was, until Squirtle opted to go for super aggression and forced TaeJa to play defensive the whole game

Game 3 started off with promise. Squirtle went for a 1 base all in and TaeJa was able to scout Squirtle's strategy. After a bit of back and forth, the game transitioned into both players expanding and getting a nice army. BASE TRADEUUUUU Unfortunately, the ending was super anticlimatic and UBER disappointment from the player who clearly had the advantage.

Game 4 was a mega disappointment. What was supposed to be a great game of constant action was cut short with 1 player over calculating his advantage.

Game 5 was very good. Lots of nice actions here and there. Not necessarily the best of games but I would recommend it.
