1. Gross extrapolation from one series to larger balance issues and/or sc2 as a whole.

2. Snipe at Blizzard.

3. Reference to Ded Gaem.

4. Conclusion pointing to declining viewer numbers followed by thoughtful but utterly unfounded speculation.

Dream is going to win the SSL and maybe the GSL too.

This has been a PSA. Thank you for your time and cooperation.

Given the results of IEM Taipei, I wouldn't be surprised to see any of these guys in the finals. (knock on wood so not to jinx anyone).

Dear almost advanced in the GSL by one game in both matches, but did advance in the SSL.

Not the stiffest competition but a very fun tournament to watch.

Thanks to casters Zepph, Maynarde, and Deth.

PiG and KingKong get first and second but have to play each other to qualify for Premier?

Shouldn't it be 1v4 seed and 2v3? Since it's not performing better in Challenger would be a disadvantage because in your Premier qualifying match you are playing the better player.

The Curse seems to have been practicing more than we have given him credit for. Perhaps he has regained passion after all?

Artosis: 2:0

Artosis 1 : Bomber 0

Will he settle for nothing but complete and utter victory? We will have to wait and see!

As many people have pointed out, the way this bracket worked out was beautiful (No Zest vs Innovation R1, etc.). So what are your predictions?

Dark Horse: herO

Head: Zest

Heart: Bomber

Weakest Link: jjakji

Builds are only outlined (excluding gas as they are implied) until the game is heavily favored towards one player, or stabilized though I tried to summarize who entered the midgame with an advantage/disadvantage.

Keep in mind these stats and details are only from one tournament and there is not enough data to indicate anything definitively. Nevertheless, I thought they may be useful in the future and interesting now.

Hi, I'm kind of new here but I'd like to mention something in regard to commentating the ever increasing amount of swarm-host games.

I understand that the games are uninteresting. I've played them, watched them and it's not fun. However, as a commentator you don't get to have the luxury of not being engaged in the game no matter how boring it gets. You are being paid to make the game more interesting to watch--whether that is through competitive insight, or tone and personality is irrelevant.

I love Ret and iNcontroL. They are fantastic people and strong commentators. However, just tuning in to Geoff's and Ret's cast of Jaedong vs Hasuobs game 3 was awful. Not only because it was a swarm h
