IEF Semi Finals, Bo3, Game3, August 11th 2007
Set1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXThvZf4DSk
Set2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6gtXI720II
Here's how Oov, Bisu, Lx and sAviOr, made it to semi-finals:
Group A was: Oov, Pj, Sword[fOu], Beckham.
Oov won the group, Pj came second.
Group C was: Savior, Fengzi, By.Jimin, XuXu.
sAviOr won the group (3-0), Jimin came second.
Group D was: Bisu, Lx, Shine[KQL], Super
Bisu and Lx tied 1st and 2nd, both with 2-1.
At Ro8: Bisu beat NsP_Blaze (2-0), Oov beat By.Jimin (2-0), sAviOr beat Pj (2-0), and Lx beat F91 (2-0).
In other words, the 3 top Koreans beat their opponent 2-0, and Lx beat his chinese opponent 2-0 as well... = Oov, Bisu, sAviOr and Lx in the semi-finals.
The winner of this Bo3 will face sAviOr in the finals tommorow August 12th for a Bo5 set! Because sAviOr won the other semi-finals 2-0 against Lx.
I won't be able to watch it since I'll be in a month of Vipassana with no computer access at all :-) Have fun watching it, either sAviOr vs iloveOov or Bisu, would both make for an amazing Bo5.
IEF is not an entirely serious tournament, Korean progamers don't play at 100%, and they don't practice for it either... so take it easy like they do :-) The only thing matters to them is Korea take Gold and Silver, which is already the only possible outcome. Props to Lx for making to to Ro4 (although he got to face a fellow Chinese player on Ro8 and not a Korean progamer, he did take a few games from Korean progamers throughout the tournament).
Edit: I can already tell you that the loser of this Bo3 set, beat Lx in the 3rd place match and got the Bronze. So Korea takes Gold, Silver, and Bronze :-)
