There have been two threads (one closed, one blog) with "Why OZ Will Win the Proleague" as the title and just a picture of Jaedong in the OP.

The problem is that this is why there hasn't been a real "Why OZ will win" thread. People get to the "Aces" section, put down Jaedong's name, stare at the screen for a few seconds, and close out the browser window. OZ really doesn't have any star power at all anymore besides Jaedong... even ForGG left to go to KTF.

Not even OZ's fans can make the argument for OZ winning the Proleague.

Isn't technically impossible for OZ to win it now anyway?

But yeah you have a point, (P)BackHo and (T)HiyA are gonna have to step their game up.
That (Z)Killer kid looks promising too.

Oz has to heavily rely on their 4 main players - Jaedong, Hiya, BackHo and Lomo to take to win. Other players.. I'm still not fully impressed.

I've been thinking about trying to write a serious one, but yeah, it really is difficult, especially to do in the depth of the others. They definitely have some advantages based on the (insane) format and such, and with good performances from a couple of Jaedong's support crew and some good lineup choices from the coaches, they definitely have a lot of potential. Unfortunately HiyA in particular hasn't been doing that well lately, and Oz's lineup choices have always been rather... transparent. They would benefit hugely from getting say, Killer and ggaemo (or whichever random scrubs they run out after their main 4) matched up against Bisu and Fantasy against SKT - toss cannon fodder to the Aces and give their other players favorable matchups. But outguessing the lineup isn't a tactic I can recall Oz using, they usually just send players out on their best maps. They need to use subtlety this year, and it's not their forte.

Killer could win if he gets matched up against Best.

Lol, it's because we're more confident. We don't need 7 page threads with fanboys agreeing that their team is awesome; Oz's victory is already secured.
