Well, Life won, but all five games were pretty meh...
All of them were basically the same, a bit of harassment at the start that transitions into parade push from one of the players and that player wins the game.
I hope SoO vs. PartinG will be better, but knowing PartinG and his idiotic Sentry + Immortal all-in, I doubt it.

Game 1 on Polar Night - Parting wanted to do some weird push with 10 Phoenixes, 7 Zealots and 2 Sentries, didn't scout Hydra den from SoO(I think), was welcomed by ton of Hydras and died miserably. Counter push from SoO killed him.
Game 2 on Yeonsu - classical Immortal Sentry that SoO scouted and still couldn't do anything about it. He could have played better and target the Warp Prism and had a bit better positioning with his Lings but I doubt that the outcome would be different.
Game 3 on Daedalus Point - PartinG opening with Phoenixes, SoO with Hydras again. PartinG harassing, SoO taking base after base, while PartinG was on 3 bases, SoO was on 5 active bases, massed Hydras and Lings with Corruptors and Mutas. Manages to catch PartinG's Phoenixes, destroy all 7 of them and attack. Attack was deflected but almost whole PartinG's army was destroyed, including 2 Voids, 4 Colossi and ton of Stalkers and Zealots. Next massive Muta and Corruptor attack killed him.
Game 4 on Frost - The longest match. PartinG again opening with Phoenixes, but this time made 10 of them, SoO going Hydras again. PartinG sitting on 3 bases and trying to get 4th while SoO is again on 5 active bases. PartinG had between 15 and 20 Phoenixes whole game with range upgrade(since game was almost the same as game 3 in terms of composition) but SoO managed to get ridiculous number of Mutas and Corruptors, something like 30 Mutas and 25-30 Corruptors so Phoenix range didn't really help. PartinG tried to warp-in Zealots and kill some of the SoO's further bases, but he always defended with Spines, Lings and Mutas while completely destroying whole Protoss base because PartinG couldn't fight huge Muta Corruptor ball.
It was close to those base-race scenarios except that Protoss didn't try to destroy Zerg, he was just standing there in the middle doing nothing because he couldn't go either way and just watched his whole base melt to Mutas.
Nothing special. Except for Yeonsu where PartinG choo-chooed his way to victory as usual, he looked completely lost on all other maps because he didn't do the Immortal Sentry push, SoO just outclassed him.

I just hope that Life will lose to SoO, everything except Life's ZvZ is looking bad, especially his ZvP so I don't think that he stands a chance in the finals. And he is gambling a lot, which I really dislike. He is usually doing something stupid that won't work if opponent scouts it, and there is a good chance that it won't work even unscouted, like that massive speedling attack at Dreamhack(I think?) against Taeja where Taeja held it with 4 Hellions and Life lost like 60 Lings.
On the other hand, SoO seems to have quite solid ZvP and is good Zerg. Definitely underrated, when people are talking about top Zerg players, they are talking about Soulkey, RorO, Life, Jaedong even Curios and are completely forgetting about SoO.

PartinG always fails miserable in Ro8 
My ideal scenario would be:
Rain > Zest
soO > Life
Rain > soO

I want entertaining games, so as long as we have those, I don't care who wins. Of course I prefer Zerg, but if we have 7 Epic games between Rain and SoO, I wouldn't mind seeing Rain winning this.

Traitor  D Mvp vs MMA would truly be epic though!
But VortiX recently defeted SeleCT, MMA and jjakji to win Vasacast Invitational 2014!
edit : and StarDust (who knocked out Jaedong 2-0)

I know, but I give the benefit of doubt to MMA coz of online - in offline we will see what their real levels are.
And bear in mind that those are my predictions, my hopes. By no means I'm denying that VortiX can beat both of them

Yeah and unlike many other Zergs(even Korean ones), he knows when he should back off and stop attacking.
He showed that in first game against MMA today, and also when he won that tournament, many times he saw that there was unfavorable engagement from his side and he just backed off with his Ultralisks.

Was playing StarCraft 2 with a friend and having the games run on my other computer at the same time.
I think I managed 48 apm at the best game. Distracted much?
