Game 1 XellOs[yG] (CJ Entus, 0) <Python>910[Ete] (MBCGame HERO, 0)
Game 2 Stork[gm] (Samsung KHAN, 0) <Desperado>sAviOr[gm] (CJ Entus, 0)
Game 3 GoRush (SKT Team First, 0) <Loki>Sea[Shield] (MBCGame HERO, 0)
Game 4 Nal_rA (KTF MagicN's, 0) <Python>JulyZerg (SKT Team First, 0)
Predictions
XellOs over 910. He used to be a TvT beast. Also, though he's been fairly inconsistent in OSL/PL, in MSL at least he hasn't been doing atrociously - he's been knocked out of the past two by rA IIRC? which is no shame. He also avenged himself against GF, who put him in his recent TvT slump - so maybe he is back.
Stork over sAviOr. Stork is a crazy man out for blood. He is fulfilling the Emperor's prophecy. sAviOr is still sAviOr though. It should be a fun match. The map seems to be stronger for Protoss than for Zerg, and one base Protoss play seems to be viable - plus, Stork is very strong with tech units.
GoRush over Sea. He has to. He will lose on Monty Hall, most likely - that map is atrocious for ZvT. In accordance, he knows he MUST win the other two sets. Also, he showed good ZvT against sAviOr and Shine. GoRush will be out to settle his grudge from last ProLeague season, where he lost the closer to Sea. Sea has been really shaky recently after the departure of July from MBC team.
Nal_rA over JulyZerg. July dropped a ZvP in PSL. Nal_rA lost to sAviOr twice. However, rA lost to sAviOr, whereas July lost to.. I already forgot who [no-team ex-Samsung player]. rA demonstrated very solid PvZ in his game against GGPlay in PL - and plus, he is the Holy Sainted Lord President of Flowers, Dreamer Kang Min ^^; July is maybe less hungry since he got into SKT T1; he is "assured" now. It will be interesting to see him in the Adidas tracksuit though.
Thats getting bad, I could tell just by reading the descriptions that it was your post LR, without even seeing your name . Anyways, hopefully savior > stork or else I would be very upset.
Xellos > 910[Ete] Don't really care, but I don't know 910[Ete] so would rather see Xellos win. Stork vs sAviOr... argh! This should be the final. Just hoping for a really nice game. GoRush > Sea[Shield] GoRush looking extremely good last games... but Sea is a monster. :/ JulyZerg > Nal_rA I hate Nal_rA, I love JulyZerg and SKT T1 - obvious choice.
xellos > 910 @ python never watched 910 so i belive in xellos savior > stork @ desperado stork can play 1 base but savior with easy 3 gas,i dont belive he will lose this game gorush > sea @ loki on loki everything can happen but i give my chances to gorush july > ra @ python it's python so i dont think that july will lose this
Hey, does anyone think that 1 base reaver/sair is possibly (almost, well, more than it usually is -_-) viable on Desperado? Protoss gets 2 gas in main, and there are islands to expand to. The Zerg's most natural 3rd gas base, the 12 or 6 expo, seems like fair game to reaver drops, especially later on with web. Reinforcements need to squeeze through that mineral choke too. Admittedly, the main is a little open, but it's an idea. Stork after all was known for reaver/sair play back in the day.
