LiquidHuk moves on into the round of 32. Foreigners rejoice over the Canadian Protoss victory over HoSeoSan a very strong Korean Protoss player. Two time GSL champion, IMNestea takes a narrow victory over oGsCezanne. Nestea showed a very interesting build implementing Speed Banelings in his Zerg vs Zerg matchup. Nestea's banelings were able to do lots of damage to Cezannes Roaches. Guess we will soon see more Baneling plays in ZvZ as well on Battlenet online game ladder.
The huge upset is probably the lost of IMLosira in the hands of PoltPrime.We. During game 1, a fast bunker and Marines from two Barracks deal a significant damage to Losira's economy. This is followed by an expansion and more Marines which took the game easily. In the final game, Polt managed to sneak some hellions into Losira's main base and killed probably 14 Drones. It all went downhill from there. Losira played poorly today and his ZvT is probably his main weakness. Hope to see more of Losira games in the future.
ST_Bomber is definitely a favourite top 4 in this GSL Super Tournament. A very impressive timing push in game 1 easily took the game from TSL_Killer or Sangho, his SC2 Brood war account. The second game was long and interesting. We get to see a lot of Nukes from Bomber and even a Mothership from Killer. Players has over 5 to 6 bases each. The game was decided when Killer ran out of minerals after sending too many Probes to reduce his worker count after banking in around 4k minerals and gas. Towards the end part of the game 2, Killer has only 30 workers mining. Bomber in the other hand build mass Orbital Commands to abuse Mules for insane mining efficiency and a large army count.
There has been a slight change in the competition date for the foreigners as well to allow players to be able to participate in the MLG SC tournament.
