The first matches for the upcoming Team Liquid Starleague were just announced and we are in for a treat in the first broadcast.
The first match that will be broadcasted will have none other than the eSport and Terran legend SayerS'BoxeR against the the Romanian player NightEnD. The pioneer of professional StarCraft gaming needs slim to none introduction. His opponent on the other hand, NightEnd, is one of the top European Protoss players and while going in as the underdog he should not be underestimated.
Furthermore we will see Team Liquid's own Protoss Tyler play against Strelok, the Ukrainian Terran powerhouse from Mouseports. The two's last encounter was at the Finnish LAN Assembly where Liquid'Tyler managed to take mouz.Strelok out in the round of 32 with a two to one victory. These players are surely able to show us some really good games and Tyler, being the winner of TSL2, needs to win this in order to defend his title.
The next match will show us the only 'teamkill' in the tournament between the two Fnatic players SEn and Fenix. The Taiwanese SEn was one of the best Zergs in the beta phase of StarCraft 2, but did not do a huge imapct on the scene since the release of the game. Possible reason could partly be that the Chinese version was yet not released. Fenix on the other hand, being from Peru, has done pretty well in South America and also in the USA and at last we could see him at the IEM World Championship at the CeBIT in Hanover.
Last but not least we again have a Korean player face a 'foreigner'. It is none other than GOMTV GSL's first season champion FruitDealer against the Swedish Terran ThorZaIN. Eventhough FruitDealer hasn't made much of an impact in GSL as of late he is still one of the best Zerg players in the world and most likely the favourite to win this match. On the other hand ThorZaIN is not a player to underestimate. Coming from a WarCraft 3 background, he has established himself very well in the European scene and is always to be seen in the top of the European ladder.
