Sup TL, here are my predictions for the Tving Round of 8 OSL. First, I'll give you my actual predictions (all biased opinions aside) and then I'll give you what I want to happen.

(P)JangBi vs (P)mini
Set 1 < Gladiator >
Set 2 < New Sniper Ridge >
Set 3 < Neo Electric Circuit >
Set 4 < Neo Ground Zero >
Set 5 < Gladiator >

Jangbi is on a tear. It's a fact. And let's be honest, mini is just an up and coming rookie. He might have the royal roader blood in him, but I don't think he has what it takes to win against Jangbi. Since mini is a rookie, it's difficult to find where his strengths and weaknesses are as well, so we can't say he's a sniper yet. Still, I think mini has enough skills to take a game off Jangbi.

Jangbi>mini 3-1

(Z)hyvaa vs (Z)ZerO
Set 1 < Neo Ground Zero >
Set 2 < New Sniper Ridge >
Set 3 < Gladiator >
Set 4 < Neo Electric Circuit >
Set 5 < Neo Ground Zero >

I'll be honest here. This one is actually hard to call. hyvaa has shown some spirit in ZvZ, coming out of a tiebreaker vs (Z)Hydra and (Z)Neo.G_Soulkey. He also knocked off Jaedong in the Dual Tournament. Of course, Jaedong was slumping and losing ZvZs left and right, so it wasn't surprising. On the other hand, ZerO has been on a tear with ZvZ, winning the last 8 of 10. So this is hard to call for me, because I really like how much ZvZ hyvaa has played so far. But I don't think it will be enough to overcome ZerO.

hyvaa<ZerO 2-3

(Z)Shine vs (T)Flash
Set 1 < Gladiator >
Set 2 < Neo Ground Zero >
Set 3 < Neo Electric Circuit >
Set 4 < New Sniper Ridge >
Set 5 < Gladiator >

12 game winning streak. That's currently FlaSh's TvZ streak right now. And I don't think that's going to stop any time soon. FlaSh's TvZ is just unbeatable. It's way too strong right now. I expect one of his little 6 marine, 1 medic, 1 firebat early pushes again. Seriously, this is not question. FlaSh is only slumping in TvP, everywhere else he's still a monster.

Shine<FlaSh 0-3

(T)Fantasy vs (Z)n.Die_soO
Set 1 < Gladiator >
Set 2 < Neo Ground Zero >
Set 3 < Neo Electric Circuit >
Set 4 < New Sniper Ridge >
Set 5 < Gladiator >

Fun Fun Fun team-kill!!! Yeah... guess what happened to the LAST SKT team-kill in the OSL? Fantasy 2-0ed Hyuk. Same result here.

Fantasy>SoO 3-0

Now for the for fun predictions :D
+ Show Spoiler +

Jangbi vs Mini
ROYAL ROADER GOGOGOOGGOOGOG!!!!! MINI GOGOGGO!!!

hyvaa vs ZerO
HYVAAAA I CALLED YOU TO BEAT JAEDONG AND MOVE OUT OF ROUND OF 16!!! I BELIEVE!!!!

FlaSh vs Shine
Don't even argue this one.

Fantasy vs soO
Meh.

one thing to note though is that a lot of these players are at the MLG thing right now, IE not practicing for OSL.

every one of the favorites are there right? that could give some advantage to their opponents.

Jangbi is in Korea. And practicing BW. All the players in the first 2 match-ups didn't go. In any case, Flash and Fantasy still have 2-3 weeks to go before their Ro8 matches so they should have ample time to practice.

I do completely agree with your predictions, except Soo beating Fantasy would be awesome and hilarious to watch at the same time.

Mini has heart, I wouldn't count him out against Jangbi. Mini is definitely practicing BW. Jangbi I'm not so sure about ;p He had a crappy season for the last BW season, and his games have been won more because his opponents played bad in OSL. He's not out of it, but he hasn't impressed me. ZvZ favours Zero for sure. Anything can happen, but Hyvaa kind of sucks. Only reason he broke thru the tie breaker was because Hydra can't even muta micro anymore (so painful to watch) and Soulkey clearly hadn't been practicing. It was a coinflip between 3 terrible players.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

I guess. But with all the ZvZ that hyvaa has been playing, I gave him a fighting chance where as ZerO hasn't played as many. So I gave hyvaa the practice advantage.
