Statistics
+ Show Spoiler +
The numbers inside parenthesis represent the player's record for the last 5 games played against the opponent's race in (W-L) format.
The numbers between the above statistic represent the player's head to head record.
type-b (2-3) 0 - 0 (3-2) EffOrttype-b's ZvZ isn't exactly the best out there. EffOrt can apparently win ZvJ. Since EffOrt isn't facing Yarnc, his kryptonite, today, then I think it's a safe bet based on his past performance that he won't choke. His play yesterday against Yarnc was proof of that.
Horang2 (4-1) 0 - 0 (0-1)NbsHorang2's PvP is pretty good. He's beaten up Movie, Stork, and BeSt. Nbs... Well, let's just say that when you get rolled by Jaehoon, you have a problem.
go.go (2-3) 0 - 2 (4-1) IrisThis is the exact same thing as yesterday. Let's just hope that go.go doesn't 14 CC so we have a real game today. However, Iris is still solid in TvT, beating up Hwasin, Upmagic, and Nada. go.go's TvT isn't that bad really, it's just that Iris has shown much better play than go.go lately.
Leta (4-1) 0 - 2 (4-1) sKyHighIs sKyHigh Leta's kryptonite? Perhaps. Or maybe it's because goliath drops suck... Who knows. In any case, both players are looking very solid at the moment, and I expect a top notch game from these two.
YellOw[ArnC] (3-2) 0 - 1 (2-3) KwanroGod it feels like forever since Yarnc played something other than ZvZ... Regardless, he's beaten both Jaedong and EffOrt at ZvZ, an indication that his ZvZ is S Class. Kwanro can occasionally take games off of other Zerg players, but looking at the epic comeback Yarnc made yesterday, his play is far more solid and consistent than Kwanro's play.
Justin (1-4) 0 - 0 (2-3) MovieOh my God!! Finally the first non-Mirror Match up!!! Unfortunately it doesn't look that exciting... If you saw Movie's game yesterday against Leta, you'll know that he definitely has what it takes to take down Terrans. Considering that he was probably preparing much more for the Ace match yesterday than his own game, I think it's expected that he's in really good shape right now for PvT. Justin is Justin. He just sucks in the big leagues.
My Predictions
+ Show Spoiler +
type-b < Neo Medusa > EffOrtLol are you kidding me? EffOrt can't lose ZvZ to this scrub.
Horang2 < Colosseum II > NbsHorang2 is good at PvP. Nbs just isn't good. He isn't even good at cheese.
go.go < Neo Harmony > IrisLook, go.go defeating a slumping Hwasin is one thing. go.go defeating the on fire Iris is another.
Leta < Shades of Twilight > sKyHighA rematch? Oh my God PLEASE!!! I want to see Leta get roflstomped 0-2 again. skyHigh takes this so I can be indulged. IMO, these guys are pretty even in TvT skill.
YellOw[ArnC] < Destination > KwanroYarnc has gotten pretty good in ZvZ lately. I don't know what's up with that. Kwanro is still Kwanro in ZvZ.
Justin < Heartbreak Ridge > MovieDid you see Movie vs. Leta last night? Movie proved that he can throw down storms like a monster and win. Justin is like SUPER SUPER SUPER CHOBO Leta. No way he can win.
But if it comes to Ace because of cheese (always likely).
Leta < Andromeda > EffOrt/MoviePlease let Leta get rofl stomped. I wouldn't be surprised to see Movie placed in there instead of EffOrt because of the map.
Now if hite somehow wins this... then...
Leta < Heartbreak Ridge > EffOrtYes please. Heartbreak is a prime map for EffOrt's awesome 2 Hatch Muta play.
Results - (Game summaries included)
+ Show Spoiler +
type-b < Neo Medusa > EffOrt+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
EffOrt goes early pool while type-b goes 12 pool. type-b gets spores to defend against EffOrt's mutas, then Effort just gets a few mutas, pulls drones off gas, and starts to pump lings. Effort uses his mutas to take potshots on type-b's lings while his lings overpower type-b's natural.
Horang2 < Colosseum II > Nbs+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
Okay so I didn't watch this one 
go.go < Neo Harmony > Iris+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
go.go goes for an early pressure on Iris. Iris goes 1 fac CC, but go.go denies Iris by placing mines right where the CC should go. Iris is contained in his main and can't get out. go.go uses his economic advantage to just power vultures and prevent Iris from ever taking his natural. Iris taps out after go.go places a CC in his natural and breaks his natural.
Leta < Shades of Twilight > sKyHigh+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
Both players go for an expo; no early aggression. Leta goes for more vultures while skyhigh only gets ~4 and gets tanks + goliaths. Skyhigh camps in his natural while he uses the 4 vultures to take out several SCVs at Leta's natural and stops mining there for a while. Skyhigh takes out Leta's rax and moves out. Skyhigh 'takes his third and Leta tries to do the same. Skyhigh again uses vultures to stop mining at Leta's natural and takes out a ton more SCVs this time. Skyhigh denies Leta's third for quite a while. Leta desperately attacks skyhigh's tanks that were stopping his third from going up with SCVs and a good portion of his forces. Skyhigh brings reinforcements and forces Leta back, but Leta took out enough of Skyhigh's forces to take his third. Skyhigh gets his fourth up. Skyhigh then proceeds to just push straight into Leta's natural, winning him the game.
YellOw[ArnC] < Destination > Kwanro+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
I didn't watch all of this game because of Stork v Modesty (Lol everyone watch that), but Kwanro took out some Drones of Yarnc early with Lings. However, Yarnc showed some awesome Mutalisk control and came back to win the game. Kwanro landed how many scourge? Pretty much 0. Routine stomping really.
Justin < Heartbreak Ridge > Movie+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
Movie goes aggressive and takes down Justin's tanks, but loses 2 goons to rines in a bunker. Movie almost loses a 3rd goon. Movie opts to go 2 base arbs, but Justin pushes out before arbs really come into play and stomps over Movie. Justin takes Movie's natural, builds CCs there, but Movie almost comes back into the game with recalls in Justin's main. Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough troops to take out Justin's main, so he GGs.
Match 1 (yesterday): hite SPARKYZ 3-4 CJ Entus
Match 2: hite SPARKYZ 4-2 CJ Entus
Teams tied 1-1 in matches, resulting in a super ace:
YellOw[ArnC] < Heartbreak Ridge > EffOrt+ Show Spoiler [Game Summary] +
This game cannot be expressed in words. You must watch this to find out why this game is just... Awesome.
Effort wins the tie-breaking super ace and CJ moves on!
