[OSL] Bacchus 2008 Ro16 Day 3

(Z)Jaedong < Katrina > (T)Sea
(P)Rock < Demon's Forest > (T)Flash
(P)Bisu < Blue Storm > (Z)July
(P)BackHo < Troy > (Z)YellOw[ArnC]

What a lineup! No mirrors, every matchup being featured, and two of the arguably most anticipated clashes (LJD-Sea and Bisu-July) with plenty of storylines and exciting consequences. Can you ask for anything more from a night of OSL? Get the popcorn ready and get pumped!!!

Jaedong vs. Sea
Jaedong-the-champ is playing tonight. Can he beat the OSL curse in the group of death? Can he be consistent and take both leagues? He's certainly the favorite and has momentum on his side. Sea is looking to bounce back after that painful loss in the CJ-MBC ace match. How will that affect his play tonight? Will he come out angry and strong, looking to avenge his loss, or will he be broken and sad? One thing is for certain, Katrina will feature lots of macro, big armies, and long games. Somewhere in Sea's mind, he should know that this should've been the Ace in the Proleague Finals.

Rock vs. Flash
Rock is a simple man. His PvT formula is 2-base with a reaver and then straight to Carriers. He does it every. Single. Game. Good thing for him that Flash sucks against Carriers. Look for Flash to attempt to end the game before the blimps show up (just like he did the last time they played on Fantasy).

Bisu vs. July
Not much to say about this game other than it will likely put to rest all the "OMG JULY STYLE > BISU" debates. There's no stylistic solution for a Zerg player, you are either better than Bisu in a particular game or you're not (as Jaedong has shown the last time they played). July is an enigma, prone to high variance of skill. Which July will show up tonight? Bisu has been sliding, how much further will he fall? His victory week 1 wasn't awe-inspiring, and his group is no cakewalk. Bisu absolutely needs to get a seed for the next OSL to start his "mini-comeback." For even those that hate Bisu, his PvZ is undeniably beautiful--to lose the privilege of watching it because of a slump or confidence problem would be a tragedy.

BackHo vs. Yarnc
80% of the audience will leave the studio or shut down their stream before this game starts. But hey, PvZ on a new map is still exciting so it may be worth watching just for that. BackHo is a beneficiary of the current set of Pro-Toss maps, because there's no way in hell he belongs in the OSL. Yarnc has beaten Bisu recently. But he is sometimes prone to ridiculous fits of bad play (see previous game vs. Frozean, ugh).

Good day for the Zergs.

Summary: yaoyuan works, except when it doesnt. Daum will work, if you have a good internet connection. If the stream lags, tough luck. It will lag for some, it will be perfect for others. If you need to complain, please do so quietly to yourself. Nobody cares that your stream lags, don't spam the live report thread with whining. 2-day temp bans will be handed out like candy.

There we go! Predictions?

Sea > Jaedong; every streak must have its end and Sea should be able to do this, without playoff pressure.
Rock > Flash; this wood must be a carrier heaven, right? Seriously, I would rather think that Flash takes it, but Rock is somehow cool.
Bisu > July. Ok, it is on Blue Storm which spells "Bisu's doom" in large red capital letters. But if he does not make a resurgence against zerg now, when else?
Backho > Yellow. Simply because I am angry with yellow because of last week's play.

About Demon's forest, Livetowin was quoted as this:

Due to massive complaints from various teams, Demon's Forest will be ejected and replaced by Fantasy II. [...]
The replacement will begin in the Round of 8. For consistancy and fairness, they will keep all Ro16 games scheduled to be played on Demon's Forst to remain.


I don't think we will see an overhaul of the map, they will play the remaining games and quietly dispose of it.

Jaedong
Rock (I seem to remember Flash having the tendency to forget how to play once carriers enter the game)
Bisu (I seriously don't think he'll win, but whatever. He's still Bisu)
Yarnc (Normally I wouldn't support his ZvP but who the hell's BackHo?)

MBC to cleansweep it, if possible. Blue Storm could give Bisu a hernia, though.

My predictions:

Jaedong > Sea
One more win, why not.

Flash > Rock
Flash is solid, Rock is not. But this could go either way, this is the first TvP (and last) on this map isn't it? Will be interesting.

Julyzerg > Bisu
My Liquibet is already so fucked up, why not take the chance? Plus, I just like July better than Beesuit anyway.

Yarnc > Backho
Ya, you can tell I pretty much like zerg.
Shorts down shorts up, BOOM, just like that.

That Carriers >> Flash stereotype is going to die out pretty soon. Flash is on fire. His win vs free was amazing. Free took out half of Flash's SCVs and lots of mining time with his proxy and then followed by 2 gate Carriers. Flash somehow haxed himself a huge goliath/tank army when Free advanced with Carrier/Goonzeal and stomped all over Free's army. The Carriers were picked off and shot down perfectly.

The map was Carrier friendly Loki II.

Then again, I have no idea how the tree stumps will affect PvT. Goliaths could go through hell trying to get to carriers. On the other hand goon/zeal could have trouble engaging and flanking pushes.

Jaedon > Sea - Stronger vs strong.

Rock < Flash - Flash has a pretty good TvP record and a nice strategic mind.

Bisu > July - July never seems to bring his best game when he play vs a STRONG player lately.

Backho > Yarnc - Lost my faith in Yarnc :/ he doesn't play like he use to.

predictions:

SEA > JAEDONG!!!!!! This isn't a real prediction because I honestly have no idea what's going to happen in this game, and as a result i have to predict my favourite player will beat my second favourite player

Flash > Rock, depending on the problems laying mines within the forest the map could be pretty good for TvP, but since all the expos are so close together a bunch of carriers can wreck a lot of shit. Either Flash is gonna kill Rock before carriers matter, or Rock is gonna carrier Flash to death. I don't see many other possibilities.

Yarnc > Backho, come on

Oh man, too bad I have a test tomorrow and can't watch... or can I?

Jaedong > Sea Sorry Steve, Jaedong's onfireness is slightly more than Sea's onfireness

Flash > Rock
ROCK MAKE BLIMP

Bisu > July
As much as I hate the guy... I think July's fallen far enough that a victory here would surprise me

BackHo > Yarnc
I think people don't give BackHo enough credit (*cough* Hot_Bid *cough*). He shows potential, I just think we haven't seen enough of him to accurately judge his ability. That being said, Yarnc has been sucking lately.
