GSL Round of 32 -- 4/22/11

April 22, 2011 at 8:11 PM

The battle for supremacy rages on in the Global StarCraft II League's Code S Round of 32... tonight! Tune into GOMtv at www.gomtv.net at 10:10 p.m. PDT to catch all the action.

Here's what's coming up tonight:

Group E

Match 1 -- NSHoSeo_san (protoss) vs. LiquidJinro (terran)

Match 2 -- TSL_Clide (terran) vs. IMNesTea (zerg)

San, the unlikely hero, made it all the way to the Round of 4 in GSL March, proving that he is a top-tier player when given the chance to show his ability. Jinro has a tough fight ahead of him, and even if he wins his first game the other matches won't be any easier. Can the foreigner terran make it out of this challenging group?

Clide has been a long-time crowd favorite, but still hasn't performed well under pressure. NesTea is a player known for his ability to take control of a game and pressure opponents, but he has also had trouble performing in recent events. Will NesTea be able to show us he can still dominate opponents with gosu gameplay, or will he end up in the up and down matches once again?

Group F

Match 1 -- FOXLyn (terran) vs. TSL_FruitDealer (zerg)
Match 2 -- CheckPrime.WE (zerg) vs. TSL_Killer (protoss)

Lyn had a Round of 8 finish in GSL March, and is still training hard to continue building his reputation in the StarCraft II community. His TvZ had better be practiced up because FruitDealer is not an opponent to overlook.

Check and Killer are both out to live up to their previous reputation, and if either of them have a serious misstep you can bet his opponent will capitalize.

As always, you can watch the first map of any VOD on GOMtv.net even if you don't have a premium account. You can also watch these matches live at 14:10 KST (GMT+9) on www.gomtv.net.
