This tie is probably the hardest to call and not because the players are poor, but because they are both relative surprises to make this round stage. Cs3 has had to live in the shadow of his fellow Polish star av3k and yet here he is in the next round and av3k isnt.
I doubt it has much effect on Cs3, but knowing he has Poland behind him now cant hurt. As for Noble, he also has to live in the shadow of a more famous national (in the form of j4rno) but has already shown (at ESWC finland) he is capable and dangerous in Q4.
This one could really go either way, although if Cs3 can carry on the form he showed in the group stages, he could take this. Noble is no slouch though, so I guess this could be the most intense game of the round.
