Did anyone not vote for this set of predictions? The sad thing is even if I'm 4/4 i'm unlikely to move up. I should have taken a gamble on one of these matches

The day would mark the death of IPXZerg, and the birth of the Matler - Savior; and in my humble opinion, the birth of the savior era.
Sadly, all i could find of this monumental game was an FPVod from Nada's point of view - regardless it is a great game.

Note saviors trademark defiler usage and how it countered Nada's style perfectly

Q: How about the victory?
IPXzerg: I thought I should have been nervous since I didn't play televised game for a long time. Well, it works out fine; I calm down before the game.
Q: You have completed your revenge to Nada since last season you lost to him in teamleague finals. (GO vs P&C)
IPXzerg: I was under huge pressure at that time, after defeating 3 players of P&C. Kill-all was in sight but Nada turned up to be the 4th opponent, OMG! I was so nervous that I didn't play very well. Today I really play the game in my way, and I make it.
Q: Your defile control is incredible!
IPXzerg: After analyzing Nada's recent strategy, I reason out science vessel is the major problem. Especially the semi-finals of IOPS osl between him and Gorush help me a lot. The key to mass vessels is nothing but defiler. A good usage of defilers is crucial in ZvT.
Q: Experts say you are the 1st Zerg who beat down Nada in such an overwhelming manner.
IPXzerg: I haven't thought it myself either. Defending the first attack by lurkers, I make sure Nada has no tank with mutalisk harassment. Then the lurker drop to Nada's natural determines that whole game. Thanks to Hwasin, Sunny and my team mate Iris. I improve a lot during the practice with them.
Q: Your goal in this MSL?
IPXzerg: MSL is only single tournament I take currently, so I hope I can get into semis, at least being the top 4.
