Overall Analysis:
Ra Ra Ra.... why do you do this to us? You grab a nice little advantage with your ingenius strategy, and then you piss it all away by attempting a dual techign to reaver/dt? Why didn't you just throw in a scout aswell?
GoRush. I don't know what to say. At times you get my hopes up for a glimmer of the old days... and I can see you really wanted to do it by going from all in muta to lurker/hydra.... but really, since when did lurker/hydra work anymore? Your performance against Ra, however, was still pretty impressive. For that I will still keep an eye on you.

Overall Analysis:
Who is that imposter that looks like Free? Because the gameplay that Free showed was definately not the Free we know. He got Carriers on Loki II after setting Flash back by a mile and lost. Flash actually said in his interview that he was THIS close to just typing GG and leaving when he saw the first zealot, but decided to stick it out just cuz it was MSL.
Then Free got a PvZ on KATRINA of all maps, and got pumelled to a pulp. Honestly if these vods were shown as replays everyone would have yelled "fake!", because that is not how Free usually plays.
Oov's loss I can understand to a degree. The guy slipped and cut his wrist in the shower, putting him out of action for a while. I'm not too surprised of the risks he took in game 1 and in the Winners Round. The Final match, however, I have nothing to say. When I first saw the games, I had no clue what Oov was thinking. Of course, once I saw Group H games the following week, I finally got it.

Overall Analysis:
HOLY SHIT KWANRO. This kid just sliced through NaDa and Canata like they were made of tofu or something. While his attack vs NaDa was more of a "wtf nada" than a "gj kwanro", his muta micro against Canata was really something else. It's really nice to see a fresh offensive style zerg again.
Canata choking againts NaDa is something we all should get use to. This guy shows a lot of skill and talent at times, but for some reason he just can't seem to seal the deal. NaDa's comeback on Loki II is definately someone everyone should watch if they haven't by now, and even if you have, I suggest you watch it again (but first grab a napkin incase something bursts). Of course, to be fair, none of these games were a real testament that NaDa is back, but fun as hell to watch.
This week you may have noticed I tried something a little different for reporting. Please give me feedback on what you think of it, and let me know if you have any suggestions or comments.
