Nada (T, Pantech) < Much (P, CJ) on Hitch Hiker
Proxy 6? Gateway in middle of map from much, nada took all scv's off to kill it but lost too many scv/time.
Much way ahead thereafter and although nada had amazing defence the economy difference was too 'much'.. after countering reaver harass excellently, much just walked up ramp with goons before siege came.
FireBatHero (T, Samsung) vs UpMagic (T, E-Stro) on Neo Arkanoid
Up goes 2 rax floats to middle MnM rush while trying to guess where FBH is, FBH 14cc's. Holds off rush.
From there after he is simply outclassed by Up in your usual dropship game.
Midas (T, SKT) > Light (T, MBCgame) on Reverse Temple
Nice game, both attack with 4 rine/1 vult but miss each other in middle and both rack up major scv kills. Light seemed to come out on top.
Midas just plays really solid and seems to keep ground advantage all game with his macro which eventually whittles light down into GG.
Casy (T, OGN) > Child (Z, STX Soul) on Longinus 2
Rape. 2 Rax opening, run past one sunk and did major drone damage. Child then gets 20 lings that do no damage and its 10 drone 2 hatch lurker/ling vs 2 base terran... I'll let you do the math.
GoRush (Z, SKT) > Iris (T, CJ) on Longinus 2
Not your typical TvZ on Longinus. Iris goe fast tank push and GoRush neatly beats it off in the nick of time with muta/ling. Meanwhile Iris still on one base finally takes nat and then it's a battle of who can lose..
GoRush literally could end it anytime but he just sits there for a millenium letting iris irradiate the shit out of him. Finally gets some balls and attack moves to victory after he has the whole map.
Hwasin (T, STX Soul) > Yooi (T, STX Soul) on Hitch Hiker
Quick, one-sided game. Hwasin got the upper hand quickly on the dropship battle by killing Yooi nat gas while yooi was killing neutral buildings.
Hwasin just kept up the dropship play and ended it quickly with a drop in main.
4/6 on the predictions, could've been alot worse after being 0/2 Dropped from 19 to 23.
My Predictions:
- Nada > Much on Hitchhiker.
I just don't see T's losing TvP on this map even though much is the anti-nada.
-FireBatHero > UpMagic on Neo Arkanoid
Really tough one IMO, going with the slightly more expierenced FBH. Anxious to see how these two are at TvT to be honest.
-Midas > Light on Reverse Temple
Light is a beast but his TvT is weak, I expect Midas to take this.
-Casy > Child on Longinus 2
Casy strong TvZ on imba T>Z map, should be an easy bet.
-GoRush > Iris on Longinus 2
Super hard bet IMO, Iris is just so unimpressive TvZ, while GoRush is so unpredictable. Factor in the map and it's a toss-up.. I went with GoRush.
-Hwasin > Yooi on Hitch Hiker
Two horrible TvT'ers? I'll go with the one that's at least winning other match-ups =/
