We tend not to take third place match ups that seriously a lot of the time. But there's still quite a bit of money on the line for these guys. I have no idea who will win. I'll flip a coin and say HiyA.
A tough choice to make for who to root, as much as i like Hiya i think mong deserves to achieve something like 3rd place, he showed great play in both ssl 9 and 10 and was never fortunate to be in the spotlight like hiya so i may go with mong for this one. On the skill level i think hiya is the better player, but offcourse preparation is the key here.
Hiya's wraith force wrecking SCVs. 10 died according to twitch chat Mong goes for a ground force counterattack but backs off from 3 siege tanks; he sieges up outside Hiya's nat
Hiya is trapped by turrets and tanks. But both players still on 2 ccs
Hiya dropping some forces at an undefended turret. Mong responds with his dropships and cleans it up! Hiya drops on mong but is repulsed! Is this the end?
Game 1: Magikarp used Tackle! A critical hit! -> Mong ggs. Game 2: Magikarp used Splash! But nothing happened! -> Magikarp ggs. Game 3: Magikarp used Splash! But nothing happened! -> Magikarp ggs.

The lady was holding a sign that read, "Kim Carri is really awesome! <3" The camera crew decided to do a split screen of the both of them as a semi prank. XD
Kim Carri's response: "I am a simple man. It doesn't take much to get my attention/interest."
Mong with a north-south tankline in middle of the map. Trying to turret Hiya off.
Hiya going for an attack at 6 o'clock. He sieges up and destroys the gas. Mong's newly revealed airforce flies in and wipes out Hiya's wraiths! Mong's wraiths killing Hiya's tanks!

hiya previously said before the semi finals that he doesnt want to play the 3/4 match. unfortunately he did not make it to the finals and had to play the 3/4 match
After the commentators asked about if he thought he could beat Last if they played again, Mong responded, "I can win. And if I do, I will chug 2 whole bottles."
And now, he's being a great sport and asking for a lots of fans to show up to the championship series!

I think the strat hiya ran on blue storm is quite strong, but he lost too much due to sloppy control and didn't scout the 6 o'clock base until it was WAY too late. Would love to see terrans develop that strategy more
