Sorry for the lateness. I will just put up the results for records sake. Next week I will try to put up better reports, sorry.
Cloud > Yellow[Name]
Yellow name late with sunks, Cloud wins in 5 minutes on Rush Hour.
Rock > July
Rock needs an hour on 815 to take down July, nice back and forth game, good lurries of action and Rock has awsome storms.
Boxer > Jju
Boxer kills about 30 drones with wraiths and then MM's Jju all off of one base on Peaks.
Sea[Shield] > Rainbow
Rainbow went for fast carriers on Cult. Period, and Sea rolled over him. The only Hero seed to qualify for the next round.
rA > Stay
Beautiful defense by rA on Cultivation Period, a very tough map for P. A few timely scarabs halted Stay's all in hydra/ling attacks.
Midas > Stork
Easy game on Rush Hour where the fast nexus was not the best option.
Next week sould be better, look out for tomorrows games:

July vs Rock game was really good too. Long, but good, lots of pretty storms and dead zerg units. I'd love to know what Rock's kill count was from that game.
July vs Rock was spectacular. Rock played conservatively and concentrated on map control. He basically built 90% templar and archons the whole game too, so he didn't get into mineral trouble like July and was able to cannon up his islands.

Very very nice game.
Especially because he owned fatzerg. Finally rock got his revenge..
Rock v July game was so awesome to watch! 58 mins of great storms by Rock! Nice to see rA doing so well again as well. Can't wait for the matches today!
the midas/stork game was closer than you say. I also don't believe fast expo to be a good choice on rush hour, but stork was sooooo close to pulling it off
Rock concentrated more on a gas strategy and good map control like ManaBlue said. He played a war over money and inches and he won that. 815 III is a gas heavy map so he picked a smart long-game strategy.
Rock's defense was so pimp this game. This should be a must watch even if it is an hour.

Eh? Felt to me Midas had that pretty easily.
Well the build can't be that bad. Pusan tried it too against Boxer as well. They wouldn't be using it if it stunk.

Stork WAS really close. His control was really good, but then a little mistake and he fell to tanks/mines. If he could have only blocked that initial push, he would have been in a good position to win.
