Detailed Predictions: + Show Spoiler + #1 This match is gonna be too sick to predict. I changed the location of the crown like 20 times before deciding to remove the prediction altogether, because I simply cannot say who is gonna win this hot ZvT. Jaedong has a stronger record on blue storm, (Hwasin most recently lost to Hyuk on the map in a long TvZ) but Hwasin has a stronger TvZ record overall and definitely a stronger showing lately. I didnt put too much emphasis on their recent meet-up because of Jaedong's obviously messed up mouse (unburrowed lurkers and all) --- and I think that THIS match up is gonna be a strong sign of who will take their best of 5 MSL series thats coming up.
#2 LOMO. THE BUBBLEGUM CHEWING GOD OF TERRAN. 'Nuff said.
#3 Lecaf have lost the 2v2 match in every game I have made a thread for, which is like 5 now. I'm not gonna switch it up especially when they are now up against July (who is the strongest he's been in a long time).
#4 fOrGG just beat Kal 3-2 in a great and close MSL series, and he emerged looking like the stronger player. Not that it counts for much anymore, but hes also fresh off a 2-0 win on sAviOr and I think will take the game from Kal.
#5 I think this will go to ace, and I think Lecaf can take it. They seem to have a history of choosing Hiya as the dedicated ace match guy and they probably wont change here. I think he will take it for Lecaf 3-2.
Results: + Show Spoiler + Jaedong < HWASIN (JD I know you love muta micro on blue storm, but theres a reason people go muta --> lurker and not lurker --> muta.)
LOMO > Calm (holy shit bubblegum terran goes wraiths again and shows some of the best micro and calm decision making. this guy is beastly and has a shot at flash in the MSL
Lecaf < STX (Dear god lecaf this is the millionth 2v2 you have lost in like a row. get a good 2v2 team and you will be unstoppable)
fOrGG < Kal
SOUL wins 3-1

Rooting for Jaedong! Hoping for an amazing game!

Hmm why doesn't Anytime play he has a good chance of stomping Calm although the map is a bit Zergy , but they should let Lomo practise more TvT to stomp down Flash in the MSL ... And Anytime is only in the GSL so they should use him more even in ace maches ....

Anytime isn't playing that well lately

GO JAEDONG! i feel that zerg is very reliant on inital BO, like in game 2 of Luxury vs. Flash.

Blue Storm is quite a balanced map now that Terrans have figured out how to play on it. In the last three months, TvZ on Blue Storm is 4-4, and in the last four months, 5-6.
I think this game will foreshadow the winner of Wednesday's games (though the MSL maps currently seem Terran- favored), unless the loser tonight practices like mad and the winner gets complacent. Nonetheless, I hope it is an epic game.

I dunno if I should root for Hwasin or Jaedong...
Hwadong, Hwaiting!

I have no idea what games I'll watch tonight. I can't not watch STX but missing the SKT and Samsung games will suck.

god this is going to be a great match i will feel almost deprived is one of the teams pulls of a 3-0 i want to see an ace
Predictions:
Jaedong < Hwasin
Hwasin has been looking GOOD in zvt and jaedong lately has produced nothing but straight failure in this matchup one of those failures being at the hands of hwasin even
Lomo > Calm
Both have had their moments lately but lomo is simply looking for impressive overall
Lecaf 2v2 < STX 2v2
You got he ultimate low econ player in an environment that supports that style of play even demands it any 2v2 with july cannot be bet against especially when the team they are playing has a horrendous 2v2 record STX to take this one easy
Forgg < Kal
This one is by far the toughest match to call but something in me is feeling Kal. He is hungry for some revenge against forgg and forgg has to be a little overconfident in his victory, given that these two players seem almost dead even in skill, i believe this extra drive will lead kal to victory. I would also not be surprised at all if either of these players went for some proxy considering their recent bo5 and if that happens all bets are out the window.
If it goes to an ace:
Hiya < Hwasin
Hiya seems to be lecafs ace altho he may be swapped out for jaedong or even anytime given his recent tvt loss to FBH in the ace match because they have to be expecting hwasin and hwasin is quite good at this matchup.
However what i want to happen in the ace is Anytime < July if this happens I promise to cream my pants because we almost had this in osl and were deprived and that dissapointed, this ace is not an entire impossibility anytime is another common ace choice for lecaf and july is july never a bad choice especially when he looks so fierce, Julys zvp is his top matchup in my opinion at the moment and he is straight up looking much sharper then anytime
king me

Man STX in 3 EZ,
Hwasin > JD - Jd lacking in ZvT since 2-1 in GSI, not even bluestorm can save JD now Calm > Lomo - Lomo has been good but calm is underated, and should rape lomo ez July eats the 2v2 from lecaf so july wins
3-0 GOGOGO
