No, that's NOT a typo. As everyone should know by now, Savior followed through with his little joke and announced last week that he will be playing against GoRush with Terran.
Many people would expect GoRush to pummel him, since GoRush's ZvT isn't something of a Silver or MuMyung level (although Mummy has shown some great improvement)... but it's been known throughout the community that Savior's TvZ is something to be very fearful of, even at the pro level. Some say it's better than his ZvT, which is considered the best at the moment.
I personally hope GoRush buries him, so that he regrets ever thinking about switching races and never attempts it ever again... especially to Terran. Like we don't have enough of those. (Just for clarification, Savior is still going to play Z with all the other matches)
This will definately be the match of the day.
@ Loki
In one corner we've got the KHAN driven power of Jangbi, who's shown some real promising talent in the past, with a 3-0 PvT record in Proleague. On the other corner we've got Shine[Name], who's done remarkably well in the Survivor league to get here, taking down GoRush and UpMagic on the way.
But his opponent is against a Protoss, which is a matchup he has much to prove. For me I give the edge to Jangbi. I like this guy and have much hope for him, once he starts working on his PvZ a little (0-4 in Proleague... though his opponents were some hard people, Savior, ChoJJa, JaeDong, MuMyung)
If all goes as planned (yea right) we should see a ZvT or a PvZ here. Assuming that Savior get's his ass handed to him (believe it or not, I'm a savior fan too... but I'm also a zerg user and to learn that my idol abandoned the race to play with Terran, my most hated race? Hell no) we should see a nice Jangbi vs GoRush here.
Either way, Jangbi will be facing a Zerg... and with a 0-4 record this season against Zerg, it's not looking good for our little friend.
We'll probably see a ZvT here. If GoRush faces Shine here, then he'll be given a chance to redeem himself for losing to Shine in the Survivor Tournament. Meanwhile if Savior ends up facing Shine, it's most likely that Savior will rape the living hell out of him. Whoever comes here, it'll be something to watch.
I'm coming to like Monty Hall less and less. I don't know why, it just seems like a really boring map. I've always wondered why no one has tried a rush down the middle. Just bring along about 3 workers after you break through the first mineral line, and then go back and forth between the 2nd mineral patch and the geyser right by it to mine it out without going back home! Maybe it takes too much time?
To me it seems most likely we'll see another PvZ here with Jangbi. Either that or another GoRush vs Savior battle, which will be interesting to watch indeed.
All in all, I'd say we'll either see Savior/GoRush or Savior/Jangbi advance.
