My Predictions
hero < Byzantium 3 > Movie
I know that Movie has played some decent games against Jaedong in the last week but I am more impressed with by.hero and his ZvP. He has taken down Bisu more then once and looks really strong in that match-up. I would be surprised if Movie won this even though the map is Byzantium
firebathero < Byzantium 3 > HyuN
I've watched a lot of the games of FBH lately and I have not been impressed at all. I know above all that his TvZ is his best match up by far and I would like him to win. I just don't think FBH will. Is he capable of winning? The answer is clearly a yes and anyone who has seen his games against Jaedong and other decent Zergs, can attest to that. The real question that should be asked is: What type of game will he bring today? Will FBH bring his top game which is capable of winning against Jaedong and others or will he make sloppy mistakes and lose? What can I say about Hyun... Well, in all honesty, I don't watch Hyun a lot. I know he is capable of good play and capable of bad play and he hasn't been putting up amazing results lately either. I just think He is playing better then FBH now but either one of these 2 could advance to the winners Final. I want FBH but I think it will be Hyun.
hero < Carthage 2 > HyuN
ZvZ. What can I say about that? Well I know that hyun recently beat hero in a ZvZ match and I know hero took a bad 3-0 beating from Jaedong a while back. Hero is 1-5 in ZvZ but I think that is deceiving since 3 of those losses are from Jaedong (Mr 80% and above ZvZ) himself. This could go anyway too. If the case that FBH beats Hyun then I hope that he would beat hero. That would be the result that would please me but Hero is no slouch and is an amazing Zerg and I wouldn't be surprised in him beating FBH especially seeing FBH's recent games.
If Movie managed to get here by beating by.hero then I wouldn't be surprised with him going 2-0 and beating either Hyun or Firebathero. Lets not even talk about FBH vs Protoss lol
HyuN advances 2-0
Bisu < Byzantium 3 > SaiR
LOL? Bisu? Sair? Bisu easy. I don't think their is much to say about this. I cannot...CANNOT see Bisu losing to Sair unless he did it stork style (i.e 12 nexus vs bbs LOL). I think Bisu will rape Sair pretty easily.
go.go < Byzantium 3 > Calm
I really don't know what to type here. go.go has shown he can play pretty good TvT when needed but this isn't TvT so I guess that doesn't apply. His TvZ seems decent at best. Inter.Calm... What can I say about him? He is capable of both amazing games and 'meh' games. He is doing good in proleague and is in the top 15 when it comes to amound of wins. I was always kinda impressed with his ZvT and I think he will win this match-up rather easily.
Bisu < Carthage 2 Calm>
Although this is not Medusa where Bisu is 2-0 Calm, I still think Bisu is pretty strong against Zerg although he has loss to some players who I didn't think he would lose too. I don't need to remember last OSL/MSL. I could see Calm winning. I'm not saying its not possible. Bisu is only 4-3 versus Calm which shows that anything is capable of happening. I hope Bisu wins and I believe Bisu will win. Also, I could see it being Bisu versus go.go on this map and its Carthage so... Carthage PvT = Proxy into easy win so I would actually hope go.go beats calm so Bisu would have an easier way into MSL.
Bisu advances 2-0 EASY!
