The Round of 8 is in the books and I got murdered in my predictions (1-3) while Aligulac was simply mediocre (2-2)--I think IEM fatigue hurt sOs and herO (less so Life who was eliminated earlier). The semi's feature two mirror matches:
Zest Rain
Aligulac gives this to Zest (63%); the favourite has only ever played one offline BO5 match (his win over sOs), but he's undefeated in offline PvP (BO3 6-0) and hasn't lost a multi-game PvP since Squirtle beat him back in September (he's 18-1 since late July). Rain also hasn't lost an offline BO5 PvP (he's 3-0), and in BO3's he's 11-3. All of that shows how strong both players are in the match-up and given that equality I'll bow to Aligulac and go with Zest.
Life soO
Aligulac has Life as the overwhelming favourite (79%); neither has lost an offline BO5 ZvZ (granted Life has done it four times and soO only once), but Life is much better in the match-up so it's easy to go with Aligulac here.
Both Aligulac and I see Zest and Life moving on.
