Group A Match 1 Aphrodite vs cherryice Recap:
I went ahead and watched game 1 because I wanted to see the level of play this tournament would bring forth. Here is what I saw:
Map is Echo. Aphrodite spawns 5'o clock position, cherryice at 11'o clock.
Aphrodite opens Reaper FE
cherryice opens standard 15 hatch
Aphrodite's 1st reaper arrives before first queen comes out and no lings. 1st reaper legit gets like 4 - 5 drone kills and just cripples cherryice's economy.
Aphrodite transitions into triple CC / dual starport, cherryice goes for roaches
Aphrodite moves out with 4 banshees and 2 BCs, cherryice sees this and responds by making more roaches. Roaches pop out. They run around cherryice's natural doing nothing as they get disintegrated by BC yamatos and BC blasts.
Aphrodite annihilates everything and loses 0 units. By the end of the game, she has like 3 - 4 starports and like 7 - 8 BCs and 4 banshees. The only units cherryice made that whole game were drones/queens/overlords/roaches. I don't think anyone ever explained to her that while the roach is indeed a good unit, it cannot do jack crap against air.
cherryice GGs. Aphrodite wins in less than 15 minutes.
Aphrodite's average APM: 200
cherryice's average APM: 40
Granted, since Aphrodite used to be a former KR GM, I obviously expected her to win, but I wasn't expecting a roflstomp. I'm going to watch more games cause I'm interested in seeing how this tournament turns out but game 1 was like watching SKT vs Prime... It was just... -__-;;

I recognize a lot of the IDs because they pop in my Twitter feed from progamers or press people retweeting photos of players or screenshots of their ladder rank etc. There's a group of hardcore fangirls that go to almost every match and seem to play tons as well; some of them are in this. One of the players works in production at SPOTV Games.
That being said, Aphrodite is going to win. She always does.
