| This was fast. Some crazy matchups coming up. Seriusly hard to find someone to root for :S The only match I have a clear favorite is Mondy (gotta love Mondi man) but ret is awsome but Sen is a beast. No way you can be an IdrA or NonY fanboy and RA and JF is just too epic. |

Ok, time for some predictions:
  CJ_IdrA[Media] vs.  Liquid`NonY
+ Show Spoiler +
CJ_IdrA[Media]Nony played very impressively in his recent series against IdrA. So in spite of his recent loss, he certainly has a chance of taking IdrA down and I will be rooting for him. But considering his only recent return to StarCraft and the fact that IdrA probably practiced TvP a lot in preparation for the MSL Preliminaries, I just do not see Nony being able to take an entire series from IdrA. However, their latest series did make IdrA look a lot less invincible then usually and I will gladly bite my tongue if Nony manages to take the series.
  DuskBin.Sen vs.  LLL.ret
+ Show Spoiler +
LLL.retThis is actually going to be a really close series. Sen is a really good Zerg player, so ret should not get complacent about his ZvZ practice. Plus, his series with  CaStrO showed that he still makes tiny mistakes that can cost you the game in such an intricate matchup such as ZvZ. So I would not be suprised if this went up to game 5. That said, ret has an enormous momentum going, having won 4 ZvZ`s in his last Courage tournament and also playing nothing but ZvZ so far in the TSL and winning. Plus, in spite of losing one game, his series against Castro was a much less close affair compared to his series against Flaf and he was clearly the more solid player throughout it. If he can keep that up, I think Sen will bite the dust in the end.
mouz.Fenix vs.  ToT)Mondragon(
+ Show Spoiler +
ToT)Mondragon(Fenix played really well against Kolll, dismantling his 2-hatch Muta play and forcing Kolll out of his comfort zone. Overall, his superior experience showed and it earned him a well deserved victory. However, Mondragon is an entirely different story. His defence is absolutely tenacious and he perfers more long-term play in spite of his somewhat lacking macromanagement. If  BRAT_OK could not beat him with fairly solid mechanics, then I do not see Fenix fairing much better.
 mouz.IefNaij vs.  mouz.White-Ra
+ Show Spoiler +
mouz.White-RaAgain, this is going to be a fairly close series and I would not be suprised if it also went up to Game 5. Plus, JF`s Reaver control is preety good and he has played really good PvP in the past (notably against  Draco in the Razer TSL finals). But like Nony, he faces the serious disadvantage of recently returning to StarCraft, while his opponent has been performing rather well. Plus, with his latest game being a PvP, he also has the momentum going for him. As his series against Kabal showed, White-Ra is far from untouchable and JF has a good shot at winning. So predicting this is really difficult. But I think White-Ra`s better form will ultimately tip the scale. Last edit: 2010-02-08 11:14:07 |

No it's not, just root for NonY.
I think the Ro8 is going to have a lot of closer series than the Ro16.
White-Ra 3-2
NonY 3-2
Mondragon 3-1
