A lot more upsets this week than the last couple. Probably due to the addition this week of the Masters Cup, one of SEA's oldest and most prestigious online tournaments.
mGGChase 1-0 x5.RunaMoK
Rebellious 2-1 fray'SouL
eCKoa'coolbeans 2-0 ETL.Azz (Coolbeans had to leave though so Azz still advanced in the tournament)
Shadow 2-1 JimRising
TtSEEDRevolution 2-1 PSISTM.EnDerr
Mongolia Sioras 2-1 Frustration
This week we saw the return of the OSC Challenge Matches. Although it was only two Diamond players going against each other, it created a lot of buzz in the thread and is hopefully a sign of further things to come in the year. With more people having OSC points than ever, it looks like there should be more OSC Challenge Matches than ever, but as someone who is in a position where I could potentially challenge someone, it's a pretty big risk and you'll need to be very confident.
Speaking of Diamond players in high stakes matches, Eternal E-Sports' GPD team is representing the SEA region in the SC2 Improve Team League, the biggest foreign team league going on right now. We're in Division 3 Group A and are currently 1-1.
All-in-all though, with no ACL announcements or any LAN events coming up (minus one in Perth) the scene is relatively quiet at the moment, with players just getting their participation points and mainly taking things one day at a time until they're given something to REALLY practice for.
No interview in this post, but I have secured the right to interview RONSO (aka CHOCOBO), one of the masterminds behind the new SEAcraft Melee. If you have anything in particular you'd like to be asked to RONSO, post it in here.

Law has been playing amazingly lately. Even almost taking out Mamuri yesterday...so close. Terran have certainly been on the rise as well. This is looking to be a huge year for SC2SEA and its only just started.
Please also cross post to TL.net; thought, Crescendo and Soundwave could start a blog on TL.net where they post this stuff.
