pMAKERznehp VS pRoPreyZ
The prize for the most epic game of Week 1 goes to pMAKERznehp vs pRoPreyZ. Although TvT matches regularly resemble VikingCraft more than Starcraft, PreyZ introduces Battlecruisers to the TvT chessmatch in game one, with some spectacular results.
Although PreyZ ultimately loses game one to solid marine pressure from pMAKERznehp, the Prodigy representative manages to take two wins from pMAKERznehp in a series that came down to the wire.

Game one of this series saw some decidedly sneaky gameplay from Dkhorse, who managed to hide his tech, his expansion, and his units from his opponent. Unfortunately for iCHOR B, Wild's consistent scouting and liberal use of scans allowed him to take the match.
Wild produced some Banshee-heavy play in the second match, hunting down and destroying the hidden expansion of Dkhorse. A valiant push was not enough to break Wild, and Dkhorse had no response to the fleet of Banshees that tore through his base.

The first match on Lost Temple between nGenXeen and GGMera came down to 2Port Banshee versus Blink Stalker, Xeen blinking past Mera's defenses to laser down crippling amounts of SCVs. With no Starport addons and a devastated economy, Mera was unable to recover.
We saw solid gameplay from both these players in the second match, and some visceral infantry combat. Xeen ultimately overwhelmed his opponent with a gratifying display of Storms and Forcefields.
Q9BosseR vs iCHORSooie

The first match between these two opponents was close, BosseR expanding early and holding off aggression from the infantry-heavy Sooie. The game ended abruptly, possibly due to a disconnect.
Some aggressive proxy action was displayed by iCHOR A's Terran hero in game two of the series, proxying both a Starport and a Factory. BosseR summarily dealt with the proxy offensive and the infantry aggression that followed, and unhindered by the loss of two Collossi rolled over Sooie's base with an impressive Stalker ball.
TAdeth VS inFiRevenant

The SSL Champion inFiRevenant went up against Aussie powerhouse deth with spectacular results. inFiRevenant's aggressive playstyle was triumphant in game one, deth unable to hold on against the relentless Zerg assault.
The second match of the series was quick and painless for inFiRevenant, but unfortunately not so for deth. A quick 2Rax proxy was skillfully defended, handing the series to Infinity's Zerg hero.
aLtnirvAnA VS (HeroCraft)Filthy

In the contest between Clan aLternate and the mOOnGlaDe-led Herocraft, the matches between nirvAnA and Filthy stood out as a true clash of the titans.
The first match of the series saw wall-shattering pushes by nirvAnA into the depths of Filthy's base, only to be repelled time and time again, Filthy's dogged persistency giving him a well-deserved win.
nirvAnA struck back in game two on Xel'Naga Caverns, tucking a Gateway in a corner of Filthy's base. Filthy, not quite able to destroy it, fell when Warpgate research finished and a torrent of Protoss warped in all too close for comfort.
The third and final game of the series was a desperate struggle on Match Point, nirvAnA rapidly taking several expansions. Filthy tried and failed to take advantage of nirvAnA's scattered position with drops, and was finally defeated by crushing Storms and superior numbers.
