The first match will be a wham-bam-thank-you-mam type affair, with Light getting to warm up against s2. I know I keep saying these sweeps will happen, and they end up not panning out, but I'm dead serious about this one. s2 is a 5th rate Zerg who is wasting away on the SKT benches (which says a lot about him). Light is arguably the leader of MBC right now, and while his play hasn't been the most consistent lately, he is still a top caliber player capable of making a deep run.

Final Call: Light 2:0 (Z)

s2

The second set should be routine for Yarnc as well. Light is a good player, but Yarnc is an exceptional ZvT player. I'm refusing to entertain the fact that s2 will advance to this match, because he won't. Light will probably pick up a win on Outsider to push the set to 3, but other than that, Yarnc should cake walk here.

Final Call: (T)

Light 1:2 YellOw[ArnC]

Looking forward to Lights TvZ.

Predicting Light to take this group. Although wouldn't be surprused if Yarnc pulled the win

It's so weird to have a Zerg with a large number of games who is 63% against Terran and 47% against Protoss.

YarnC's ZvT is awesome. I'd really like to see him take a league.

I hope YarnC wins and gets far. I always used to think he was better than Luxury, but then Luxury won the MSL, but now he's slumping hard.... so... PROVE ME RIGHT FAKE YELLOW!

I'm rooting for Light here... I'm a fan of Yarnc... and s2 was the first T1 Zerg to win a game this proleague season. There is no wrong outcome except for s2 winning.

Don't most of his zvp losses come from Khan Protoss though?

Like he is pretty much Jangbi's punching bag.

Light > s2
Light vs. Yarnc will be a great match...I think Yarnc has to be the favorite, but my pick is Light for the upset.

You're thinking of Luxury, YarnC has a higher ZvT ELO than Jaedong atm.

And Stork's too. Yarnc is 0-6 against Stork and 2-8 against Jangbi, or something ridiculous like that.

Normally, I would cheer for Yarnc, but Light is one of my favorite players too, so I guess I don't care which player will qualify, as long as it's not s2.
