With the Ro64 coming to a close, the Gom broadcasts have been restricted to only on Sundays. To make up for that, the quality of the games have increased dramatically, with not a single week going by without at least two big name players playing. This week is no different, with some of the biggest names in SC, both old and new, making an appearance.

It will always be difficult to follow the Maestro's games with other crowd-pullers, but somehow Gom has pulled it off, with two of the strongest progamers, and one of the biggest progamers, all showing what they're made of. This week we start off with the bridesmaid Stork taking on CJ zerg wannabe Orion. Stork's PvZ has never really been his strongest match-up, but against a player that got double-gate proxied in front of his ramp twice in his first MSL, it should be enough.

The second match-up has our favourite flamboyant Terran, FireBatHero, matching up against one of the youngest progamers out there, Bogus. Bogus hasn't really proven himself yet, having only played Zergboy (whom he beat 2:1) in KeSPA acredited matches so far. This should be the ideal warm-up for FBH if he wants to continue his successful season.

The third game has recent Golden Mouse winner, July, taking on old-school Terran from WeMade, pepe. July's games are always interesting, and it will be interesting to see if pepe has what it takes to survive the onslaught. With July's recent pressure into macro style, it's hard to see him losing, and pepe's 1-13 total record does not bode well. Hopefully we'll see some innovative play here.

The final game, and in a strange way the most interesting one, will be TheRock facing up against MuMyung. Both these players have seen better days, however, this might just motivate them to try harder in their matches. Neither player could really ask for a better match-up, so it would be interesting to see who has what it takes to continue to the Ro32.

Ro64 - Day 4

(P)Stork vs (Z)Orion
(T)firebathero vs (T)Bogus
(Z)July vs (T)pepe
(P)Rock vs (Z)MuMyung

Some good new interviews are available this week, thanks to [image loading] lilsusie as usual. Keep an eye out for the ever improving CJ_Effort!

Interview with Pretty
Interview with sAviOr
Interview with Effort
Interview with ForGG

The Q&A series continues, and this week we get to ask some questions for two very different progamers:

Questions for Stork
Questions for FireBatHero

As usual, a big thanks goes out to Susie and Gom for providing the foreign scene with such great content every week!



Some of you might have noticed that the results no longer have links in them. I apologize for that, my exams are starting and adding links is by far the most time consuming task in doing these write-ups. You can go grab the vods yourself from the GomTV website.

Hope you guys have enjoyed this update, and see you on Gom on Sunday!

FBH and July will slaughter their opponents.
Stork *should* slaughter Orion, but it's his weakest matchup and you just never know...
Rock vs MuMyung will be pathetic. Let's just hope that Rock doesn't try to play without vespene gas again (although that might actually work against MuMyung).
May the BeSt man win.
