iS.jEcho vs KawaiiLighT



An epic TvZ concludes our night of show matches, as two great players with amazing mechanics face off in a best of 5!



Result: iS.jEcho 3-0



EG.Suppy vs iS.Axslav



Suppy, who was recently signed by team Evil Geniuses, was a champion in SWS3, thus has qualified for the SWSS. During his tournament run, he won 3 consecutive ZvP's, and we are interested to see him once again exhibit his skills in the matchup. Testing him will be iS.Axslav; a strong Protoss player with a great strategic and analytical mind.



Result: iS.Axslav 3-0



Preliminary Matches:



LgN.Theory vs 4Not|Eifer



Theory and Eifer are both grand master league Protoss players who qualified for the Space Whales Super Showdown. In honor of the GSL Code S PvP finals, I decided to schedule this great PvP for us to enjoy.



Result: LgN.Theory 2-0



coL.qxc vs LgN.Maker



coL.qxc won SWS1; look forward to him in the SWSS! He wanted to play earlier in the evening; so we set him up in the first match against a worthy Terran opponent: LgN.Maker.



Result: LgN.Maker 2-0
