The round of sixteen starts out this weekend. IdrA takes on XiaOzI, Draco takes on Sen, kolll takes on Fenix and NonY takes on Tarson.
The round of 16 takes place this weekend with two games on Saturday, and two games on Sunday. For the Satuday games we have IdrA taking on XiaOzI in a much anticipated TvZ, the players have met a dozens of times already in several leagues and tournaments, and IdrA has always drawn the longest straw.
XiaOzI should be urging for a revenge, making the series very exciting.
The second game on Saturday is between the two oldschool players Draco and Sen.
They are both really good at the matchup, Draco who's been a dominant Protoss player in the foreign StarCraft scene for a very long time until his temporary retirement a while back. The same story goes for Sen, he has been a monster Zerg for a very long time outside of Korea, and was at times dominating the foreign scene staying at the top of the GosuRankings for a long period of time some time ago. They both have been inactive for a while, but now they're back, and ready to take it out on each other.
On Sunday NonY takes on Tarson, NonY has been to Korea and has a lot of experience, but like Draco and Sen he's also been inactive for a while. However, he has practiced a lot, and will give Tarson a tough fight in the round of 16.
The young newcomer kolll will be fighting against Fenix in the second match of this week's Sunday games. Kolll has shown some great results lately, but Fenix should not be underestimated, as he is a very stable player who surely will make some hard competition for the young German.
The Saturday matches will be casted by Tasteless and Artosis, and the Sunday matches will be casted by Chill and Day[9]. This goes for all of the upcoming rounds until the finals. Also check out the newly launched Teamliquid Starleague website, where the games also will be streamed in the playoffs.
