I'm little bit nervous for every CJ match. CJ ftw!

JD is on a 12 game PL winning streak, I can totally see Oz making it, JD going 10-1 in the last 7 games is very possible, it just depends on the rest of the team.

go KHAN!

loved how they won in 08, and loved their run in 09, knocking down 3rd seed STX as the 6th seed, so exciting to watch.

Stars next 4 games against the top 4 teams, while playing bad matches vs teams out of the playoff picture. Ugh.

Playing free more often could have prevented this situation. I'm guessing the latest 'field all zergs' stunt was supposed to boost morale or something (if our zergs alone can beat teams...), but in retrospect it looks like a terrible coaching decision.
Oh, my eSports

Zero is quite possibly one of the worst Ace players. I don't understand why they insist on sending him instead of someone like Free + Show Spoiler +
Free coulda beaten Leta, and it's pretty obvious HITE was sending Leta, so why gamble on ZvT instead of going for a PvT and playing to Leta's weakness?

I hope you're right, but its still nerve wracking. It'd ruin PL playoffs for me if we didn't at least get to see one CJ Bo7. I feel CJ's lineup spots #4-6 are stronger than most other teams. We have nice racial balance (2/2/2). The format is great for us.

who is your second zerg ?

Probably one of the lamest factors in all this qualifying/not-qualifying is that teams that don't have any chance of qualifying left often just send out rookies in their last PL matches, to give them confidence and experience even though the result doesn't matter. The eSTRO Woongjin will have to face as last match will be a LOT weaker than the eSTRO CJ had to face earlier in this round, while ACE will have the same strength.

Similar things apply to qualified teams that are already certain of their relative position in the final few games. For example, if STX either fails hard it's first 4 remaining games and MBC does well, or owns really hard during those games and KT fails, they'll probably put out a decent roster for their last 2 games because they either want to remain #2 or want to climb to #1. If that's not the case though, and they find themselves in a fixed position in the second to last game against Woongjin, Woongjin might have a really easy time.

I really want to see Khan in post season because they're pretty much my second favorite team, but I also want Fox, CJ and SKT in there because all three have a big chance to go far. Dilemma on who to root for.

But I'm happy my favorite team has pretty much secured a spot in the finals already (knock on wood)

WeMade Fox and SKT are only 1 game ahead of CJ in their 4th and 5th spots. Why are these not considered in contention?

Are you kidding me? It was the friggin' first post...

Khan has an excellent shot of making it. Khan has always been good against SKT and STX especially with Calm sucking it and Shuttle taking a mini slump.

I really hope MBC loses most their games and have Stars moves up. In MBC's current state, they can't even put on a good show. They got Light, Sea, Hyun who can play, Tyson who can physically be sent out, and nobody else, maybe Crazy Hydra on his best day. Stars can pull 6 fully competent players and vie for top 4 at least.

hope you don't jinx us

realistically, it's a real longshot, but if we do make it, it would be all the more sweet.

CJ is done. I predict CJ will lose 5 of its matches and Khan will take the 6th spot.

I think you have the playoff structure wrong hotbid pretty sure its 6v3, 5v4, winner vs winner, winner vs 2, winner vs 1.

or equivalently; (((3v6)v(5v4))v2)v1

The pro league playoff format annoys me a little...
Why can't they just use the format in all other pro sports?
