Great lineup of matches, many of them looks to be very close. I will hopefully be able to catch most of these.



Predictions (haven't looked at maps yet, but most are fairly balanced anyway):

SangHo > XiGua: Very close call. Could go either way. SangHo teamless. XiGua never really showing GSL-level play. I don't expect much from this match TBH, but would love to see a resurgence of SangHo.

Tassadar < BBoongBBoong: 2-0

hero < Line: I like Line's playstyle and Hero hasn't been looking too hot lately apart from foreign appearances.

asd < Alicia: This will also be very close, but I think Alicia with the current pvt metagame and excellent T practice partners should be able to take it. Even if asd has probably been looking a little stronger lately I believe in Alicia.

Keen > MacSed: 2-0

Brown > Lure: Haven't seen Lure play and looking him up the fact that he is on a "second-tier" team (RS) does not inspire much confidence when he is up against Brown.

MorroW > Maru: Haven't seen Maru play for a while, but have seen nothing to suggest that he is good and MorroW has been looking exceptional for a foreigner the few times I have seen him perform in Korea. Nerves could also affect Maru who is very young and not very experienced (one GSL appearance in the open seasons I believe is all).

Polt < Creator: Polt has been sick. TSL overall is not looking too hot these days and that must affect Polt as well. Creator is a sick nerdslayer. PvT tends to favor P these days. Sad that one of these great players must be eliminated, but I think in the next 2-3 GSL seasons we will see Creator near the top of code S. At least if his team league performances are anything to go by.



EDIT: Creator vs Polt better be on stream 1. That is by far the best match of the morning (and I only have a light subscription T_T) .
