Should be a close match. I think Mouz takes it just barely

hmm, could go either way but Mouz seems to have the deeper lineup. MaNa is just off a win at Dreamhack, which shows he is in pretty good shape. Hasuobs and Morrow can also take down any player on Acer. Of course Nerchio can do the same thing to Mouz, but I just don't think he has enough to fully carry his team.

get in there

Agreed with a tight competition.

I'm guessing 5-4 mouz with Hasu taking his turn as unsung hero, add in MorroW and MaNa and they should survive.

As long as Mouz plays their protosses last and don't let them get beat by Bly, Mouz should win. But I totally could see Acer win this.

Ignoring the fact that mouz has a) MaNa who just wont Dreamhack, b) Morrow who is amazing, and c) Hasuobs who is no push over then yea Acer can win but as long as those three are on Mouz, Acer has no shot at it lol

If Nerchio has recovered mentally from the loss against Stephano, he is quite capable of all-killing Mouz. Morrow's terran is questionable (he lost to Stephano, Slivko and Cyto with a total mapscore of 0:6). Mana may have just won DH, but his history against Nerchio makes babies cry. Bigs is no match in ZvZ, HeroMarine may be a promising talent but he still has a lot to learn. Hasu, hmmm, i've never been impressed by his ZvP.

So, yeah, go Nerchio!

Mouse are the favorites but Nerchio and Bly could do serious dmg

Nerchio used to beat MaNa pretty easily but it was the old, passive-macro MaNa, not the new, MC-like-aggressive zerg destroyer MaNa from Dreamhack. So this one could be interesting.

Mana is definitely the best player from Mouz and how many kills he gets is most likely going to tell who wins between the two teams. Realize that Acer was 4-5 against Prime in their last IPL TAC match, and besides Salmosa who could've been Byun, they took their big guns against Acer. Prime is the most dominant SC2 team at the moment, so expect that match to be close.

I like both teams pretty equally (Mouz because it's Mouz, and Acer because of their awesome Zergs), but I'd LOVE Marine vs Hydra. They are both of about the same age and play the same race, bu8t I don't remember them competing against each other, so that would be cool to see. Other than that, Bly should totally go 2base Broodlord vs somebody
