EPT
For those interested in watching the VoDs: http://www.youtube.com/user/ESportsTV/featured. It's easiest if you go to playlists and scroll down. There are both English and Korean VoDs available, all in HD.
Here is the fully worked out and revised set of build orders, including lists of games that I thought were worth watching and particular build orders worth stealing. Keep in mind that I worked these out off of VoDs, not replays, so they may not be 100% accurate in all aspects, but they are pretty close. Also, I generally stopped writing down the build order once players started interacting with each other (i.e. 10-gate pressure vs. nexus first) because obviously the build of each player changes once pressure and trades start to occur.
Anyhow, here they are! Enjoy!

INnoVation vs. BeSt
Neo Planet S
Description: BeSt opens with a cheesy 10-gate vs. INnoVation's reaper expand, killing off several workers and taking an economic lead. INnoVation does his best to stay in the game with marine/widow mine drop aggression, but BeSt's early lead allows him to get further and further ahead with storm drops and good engagements. In a desperation attempt, INnoVation pulls his SCVs to defend BeSt's maxed army push, but is unable to hold on.

Proleague 2013 Quarterfinals
STX Soul vs. SKT1
Dear vs. Rain
Bel'Shir Vestige
Description: Both players open with tenative expansions, Dear using DTs, Rain using a 2-gate robo opening. Rain, with his strange, delayed expansion, follows up with an incredibly powerful gateway timing, which Dear barely holds. Afterwards, Dear begins to pressure with immortal drops while taking a 3rd, which Rain attempts to punish with another powerful immortal/chargelot/archon attack. Unable to break the 3rd, Rain falls behind in economy and starts to fall apart against DT attacks, eventually losing to a powerful colossus attack.

Description: Both players open with a 3-gate pressure build, but due to some odd MsC scouting, PartinG is ill-equipped to deal with Mini's forces, causing him to retreat up his ramp and into his main. Mini contains PartinG while taking an expansion. After some attempts at using a warp prism to break out of the contain, PartinG gives up and decides to go for a counter while hallucinating a colossus to scare Mini away. However, Mini spots the colossus as a hallucination, uses perfect forcefields, and tears PartinG's army apart.

STX Soul vs. SKT1
INnoVation vs. FantaSy
Newkirk Precinct
Description: The game starts off with a disastrous marine/widow mine drop from FantaSy that gets shut down by a single widow mine without doing any damage. Scrambling to get back into the game, FantaSy counters INnoVation's cloaked banshee pressure with an emergency viking and ebay while attempting to put on his own banshee pressure. After doing almost no damage again, FantaSy opts for a 3rd CC, his only hope for getting back into the game, but before he can take his natural, INnoVation already has tanks sieged up, locking FantaSy onto 1 base. Unable to break out of his natural and unable to do any damage against INnoVation's airtight defenses, FantaSy is crushed by superior numbers and INnovation wins the ace match.

Description: Bisu starts with a very fast 1-gas expand while INnoVation goes for early aggression with widow mine/marine pressure, eventually adding in drops. Bisu defends quite well, losing only a few probes. The game continues with both players macroing, Bisu swatting aside the drop threats of INnoVation, and both players take their 3rds. While Bisu puts on a brilliant display of multi-tasking and good control, INnoVation manages to use good splits and brilliant positioning to completely dismantle Bisu's army at the 3rd and sprint forward for the win.

As he's approaching a maxed army, Trap attacks with a superior economy and superior gateway count.

Zest vs. Dear
Bel'Shir Vestige
Description: Both players play passive and go for an early expand. After a failed DT play, Zest goes for a massive immortal/archon/chargelot timing while taking a 3rd. Dear defends while harassing with a warp prism, but loses his 3rd base in the process. The game equalizes with Dear heading for colossus tech and Zest heading for tempests to counter the colossus. However, Zest is unable to reach tempests fast enough, and Dear wins with a strong colossus push.

Bel'Shir Vestige
Description: Both players play passive and go for an early expand. After a failed DT play, Zest goes for a massive immortal/archon/chargelot timing while taking a 3rd. Dear defends while harassing with a warp prism, but loses his 3rd base in the process. The game equalizes with Dear heading for colossus tech and Zest heading for tempests to counter the colossus. However, Zest is unable to reach tempests fast enough, and Dear wins with a strong colossus push.

Description: In a fairly standard TvZ, both players open up economically with double upgrades into biomine and ling/bling/muta, respectively. Hyvaa expertly deflects FlaSh's first pokes while continuing his creep spread and taking almost no damage to his economy. Continuing his dominance, hyvaa manages to tech up to ultras and infestors. FlaSh, however, manages to pull hyvaa apart with drops and contant multi-tasking, stabilizing the game into a split-map stand-off. After a disastrous maxed out battle, hyvaa lost all of his high-tech units and fell to pieces against FlaSh's constant multi-pronged MMM aggression.

With an incredibly successful reaper/hellion poke, INnoVation kills off several queens and zerglings but loses all of his hellions in the process. To respond, hitmaN follows up with baneling bust to get far ahead. However, at the 14-minute mark, INnoVation moves out onto the map and begins his trademark hyper-aggressive extreme multi-tasking style, slowly wearing down his opponent and overpowering him with pure mechanics. With an 80-supply deficit and a droom drop at his 3rd, hitmaN loses the game.

In a desperation move, MyuNgSiK moves out with 2 immortals and a warp prism for a counter push which Trap defends with ease.

Crazy vs. Classic
Neo Planet S
Description: Opening in standard PvZ style of triple hatch vs. FFE, Classic opens stargate, using phoenixes to shut down overlord vision while hiding a proxy pylon in the middle of the map. Realizing his proxy pylon wasn't scouted, Classic adds up to 6 gateways for a total of 7 and gears up for a strong 2-base allin. Crazy, who opened with very swift hive, decides to use swarm hosts to defend, but the swarm hosts come too late to participate in the initial push. Classic chronoboosts out an oracle to detect the swarm hosts, and after picking off several zerg bases and slowly transitioning to chargelot/archon with DTs, Classic manages to push Crazy down to a single base with no way to defend his swarm hosts, winning the game.

Crazy vs. Classic
Neo Planet S
Description: Opening in standard PvZ style of triple hatch vs. FFE, Classic opens stargate, using phoenixes to shut down overlord vision while hiding a proxy pylon in the middle of the map. Realizing his proxy pylon wasn't scouted, Classic adds up to 6 gateways for a total of 7 and gears up for a strong 2-base allin. Crazy, who opened with very swift hive, decides to use swarm hosts to defend, but the swarm hosts come too late to participate in the initial push. Classic chronoboosts out an oracle to detect the swarm hosts, and after picking off several zerg bases and slowly transitioning to chargelot/archon with DTs, Classic manages to push Crazy down to a single base with no way to defend his swarm hosts, winning the game.

Zest vs. Mini
Akilon Wastes
Description: Mini opens with a 10-gate into 4-gate all-in against Zest's somewhat standard build. While the initial push seems to have been thwarted by Zest's brilliant defense, Mini manages to sneak a proxy pylon into Zest's main base during the counterattack. Using the combination of defensive forcefields and offensive zealot warpins in his opponent's main, Mini finishes Zest off with ease.

After pulling through with an incredible defense, Mini manages to claw his way back into the game. After killing off a small chunk of BrAvO's army, Mini realizes the counterattack potential and makes a huge zealot/templar shove, winning the game.

However, by 12:00 free's 3rd base economy kicks in, allowing him to push out with a fearsome gateway/colossus army to threaten hyvaa's 4th. After some back-and-forth engagements, free breaks through hyvaa's defenses and does a victory march through the 3rd, through the natural, and into the main for the win.

Description: Both players blindly choose a greedy build, but ZerO's 3 hatch before pool is stronger than Trap's 16 nexus. In order to make up for the economic difference, Trap attempts a warp prism 6-gate attack which ends in complete and utter failure. 60 supply down and unable to secure a 3rd base, Trap looks hopeless, but with brilliant harassment and incredibly good engagements, he manages to claw his way back into the game. After 20 minutes of brilliant positional play from both players, the gigantic maxed armies face off in the middle of the map, leaving both players without an income.
