So, when you disagree with a statement that comes with ample evidence and reasoning to support it, you may want to consider if you can actually find fault with any of the supporting reasoning provided. Or, it may be in fact that your viewpoint is flawed. Take for example, such amazingly well thought out counterarguments by CJ supporters, who all were unable to actually attack the meat of my well presented argument.









Actually, to be honest, I really was quite disappointed by the lack of posters pointing out the real weaknesses in the arguments presented, which I am personally aware of, being the author of the piece. Only "Best really isn't that good" actually came up, while some of the other flimsy arguments remain untouched (although at least one of the real weaknesses was glaringly exposed in the series with cJ).

Wemade relies on its terran line
Skt has a strong protoss line.

PvT imba dictates SKT has this easy. Wemade has no zergs good enough to snipe Bisu and Best (Bests PvZ is actually very good if he doesn't lose his first 5 corsairs). I'll quote myself when I'm right

I think T1 are the favorites. they have two players who can potentially beat flash. Flash is the favorite in any game, no doubt. But after Jaedong, who's not in the playoffs, T1 probably has the next two. Next would be effort, but my god, how good can he really be if his coach doesn't trust him enough to put him in an ace match (unforgivable decision by the CJ coach).

T1 have 3 A class players; their top 3 are better than any other top 3 and it takes 3 wins to go to ace match. T1 is actually worse than last year (when Canata was good) but I expect them to win anyway.

Bring it. NaDa vs. Boxer, iloveoov vs. Midas. Fight!

I love how T1 fans are completely writing us off and talking about KTF already. The best thing about T1 is that when you crush their dreams you get to enjoy the sweet tears of 1000's of fanboys.

Are you really saying Shine couldnt beat Best or Bisu...?



Flash isnt that scary of an opponent anymore. The last two months clearly showed everyone hes far from unbeatable...

Awkward question: How did SKT Zergs do in the last round of playoffs?

After slugging it out with CJ and standing tall, I don't see anyone with the depth that they have. Hopefully the strong Terran out there won't give them too much trouble- Light, Sea and Flash.

I think their success will be directly related to how well the can slay Terrans.
Fantasy, Best and Bisu need to be able to clean house in their vT matchups and SKT1 should be able to take this home (again).

lol i was watching vids of BeSt playing in 2008, and while his PvP was the omgsh godmode, his PvZ is laughable in that any air units he gets get completely annihilated.
Back to the point, SKT1 do not need to rely on their Zerg players to win; they have 3 strong players, Best, Bisu and Fantasy, who are all on form at the moment; Bisu has won his last 9, Fantasy was raping in PL, and Best has won 7 of his last 10, including a PvZ. If they can pull wins out of their hats, a win by one of their Zerg players will be more of a pleasant bonus rather than a vital necessity, unlike Oz in 2009, where Jaedong and some other guy plx pl0x win and ace Jaedong win. Here, SKT have all the foundations to take it to ace, and whether they can win a 4th or not before ace is subjective.
SKT's Zerg lineup is actually quite good at anything but ZvT. Hyuk has beaten Jaedong and Effort in ZvZ, with some seriously sick muta micro, and it's obvious that that matchup is his strength. s2 can win some games, but all SKT need to do with their Zerg players is anticipate a game where a Terran will not be sent out, and play a Zerg.
Against WeMade FOX, this will be very difficult. Best is quite favored to win his games, having very good PvT (60%+), whereas Fantasy should also win. Bisu is a bit of a wild card; he has shown great PvT, but his form is still in 'cocoon' phase so it'll be hard to tell. I think every day will go to Ace, because WeMade has a Terran lineup notorious for being Zerg killers (Nada, Mind, Baby, Midas?) and they are deep enough to keep a strong lineup going until an ace, unlike CJ who had to field BByong due to their lack of other options. Therefore, WeMade will probably be the biggest test of SKT1; if either of their 3 aces drops a game, they're automatically in some seriously deep shit.

Absolutely terrible, in terms of results. I kind of fast-forwarded big chunks of the ZvZs since they are so boring to watch, so I can't tell if their play was terrible or they just happened to play against really good opponents (for instance, Snow > Soo on day 1 was largely thanks to very inspired play from Snow).
