It's a TvT finals at the IEM Katowice Starcraft 2 World Championships!

Maru, the greatest Korean SC2 player of all time, the greatest Terran of all time, and the one that should be destined to lift the trophy for the first time,

Oliveira, the best Chinese SC2 player ever, the Terran player who has improved and carried the hopes of a nation on his shoulders.

The second semi finals has the Chinese terran Oliveira going into the biggest game of his life, against the Korean protoss herO who is trying to make his way back to Grand Finals. Will the underdog take it from the Korean superstar, or will we have the battle of the superheavyweights to wrap up the 2022/23 Starcraft 2 season?

You cannot miss this!

The first semifinal of the IEM Katowice 2023 Starcraft2 World Championship is Maru, the Korean terran player chasing his first ever World Championship, something that has eluded him for his entire career, against Ragnarok, the Korean zerg player having the best run in his career. Having already knocked off Serral, is the Korean GOAT also in his sights?

The top 4 at Katowice are made up of: 2 Terrans, 1 Zerg and 1 Protoss. For storylines, 2 players (Ragnarok and Oliveira) are on cinderella underdog runs of a lifetime. Maru is chasing his first ever World Championship, and herO is looking for his first World Championship and to prove that you can still be the best even after military service in Korea!

Starting in the next 6 or so minutes is the final round of our Quarter Finals. It's the monster zerg Dark, in his last tournament run before he begins his mandatory military up against herO, the Korean protoss, seen as some as a favourite to win the whole event. Going into the Quarterfinals, this was the closest matchup between players, and it could go either way.

Quarter FInals #3 at the IEM Katowice 2023 Starcraft2 World Championship. Reynor, the Italian zerg player takes on Oliveria (fka Time), the Chinese terran. Reynor is the only player to have not dropped a series at Katowice, having gone 5-0 through the group stage and Oliveira is on his deepest run ever in the Global Finals.

Quarter FInals #2, it's the defending World Champion from Finland, Serral vs Ragnarok the Korean player on Alpha X. It's the first Zerg vs Zerg match of the day. Expect some violence, and some aggressive games.

It's time to start the Quarter finals of the IEM Katowice 2023 Starcraft 2 Global Championships. It's a Terran vs Zerg matchup (my favourite match) between Maru and Solar. The odds are in Maru's favour, but Solar can certainly beat him.
