Im gonna pick KT to win this because even without Flash they are still a very deep team. ForGG, Stats, Violet, Tempest, Hoejja. Every team's ace seems to be slumping lately so it just depends on how the rest of the team is performing. Overall I think KT has the best performing team at the moment. All their loses lately have been Flash's fault therefore even without him I think they can still do it depending on the team who gets to the finals.

I hope Flash start to comeback. His recent performance is definitely a slump..

I missed his interview >.< .
Ah, I should go pray for him, that is the least I could do.

Flash carried them through rounds 1-4, if he doesn't stop his slumping, I can't see KT winning the finals.

I don't think KT can go all the way. They are a pretty decent bo5 team but in bo7, with Flash not in super god mode, I find it highly unlikely they will win. I think a deeper team like SKT1 (their zergs are okay now) or WeMade ( and maybe CJ if they qualify) have the best chance.

Well grats to KT for the automatic trip to the finals. KT isn't looking completely terrible either (unlike a certain other 2nd place team) - Stats/ForGG have been looking decent lately, KT's other tosses may win on a good day, and Flash should get rid of his anti-clutch disease. Not going to put my money on them though if SKT/Fox/CJ gets to the finals.

As usual thanks for the translation!

If i recall correctly skt was sitting at 4th the previous season and Oz sitting at the top, when they got face stomped by fantasy's charge. Be interesting to see how Flash's team holds up against it.

KT suffered a lot with the loss of Luxury... If he was still on the team, I would give KT a very high percentage of winning it all, but without any decent zergs.. Hoejja can only ZvP, 815 can only play on Blue Storm, and FIrefist is just bad. Don't forgot that the main reason KT got 10-1 during round one was a combination of Flash, Luxury and Violet tearing everything up.

In my opinion, Flash's recent TvT Ace match slump would be a good caution for Flash, and SKT probably has the best chance taking out KT, but I would rather FOX make it to the finals. Nada deserves it. He was once the KTFlash for Pantech.

Someone said for fun few months ago about Bisu that he would end his slump, lead SKT to playoffs finals, and win the super ace match against Flash and that it would look like a perfect manga scenario.
It doesn't sound that impossible now.

Since KT already won, I hope that hoejja will receive more play time now, so he can either boost up his confidence for the finals or he proves completely useless and won't play at all.

Actually will the finals be like rounds 4 and 5 or like rounds 1 and 2? (the line ups?)

If you mean that they will be announced shortly before the game or a week/few days before i think it'll be the former, to combat the betting sites.

Would have been nice, since its 2 out of 3 - first match to be with line ups announced several days in advance then the next one announced shortly before the games and if 3rd match is required it may be winners stay format

I don't know what to do, so I'll be polite this time around, or try to be.

Stats expected ZerO to come out. His opponent? Zerg. So it's natural that a zerg coach helped him out on the side to exploit Stats's build.

Remember: If you're Protoss in PvZ, you really don't know what's annoying for Zerg unless you hear it from Zerg player himself. You also really don't know your flaw (in most cases) unless they tell you what you did wrong.
