Personal Note: EXTREMELY pleased that Ace maps are not zerg havens. Was pissed at Outsider for playing its part in killing off Khan 2 years ago.

KT thumbed down Neo Beltway (KT thumbing down a terran map!?)
STX thumbed down New Empire of the Sun for Day 1, Circuit Breaker for Day 2 and 3.

Edit: Day 2 times revised.

KHAN nixed the Zerg map, Stars turned down a Protoss map. Seems to make sense.
KT turning down Terran map means... they don't have any other Terran besides Flash.
STX most balanced team, turns down the most balanced map. I'm guessing they're going for all-out sniping strategies, because nothing else makes sense.

Ughhhhhh. Ace maps for KT v STX are terrible for KT if they plan on playing Flash. Can't wait for Kal to carrier gay the first day, Calm to 2 hatch ezpz muta Flash the second day

Thanks

KT only really has Flash, and I doubt that with his shorter practise schedule he will be able to deal with neo beltway. So its probably better to have a map pool that hes more experienced in.

I have a feeling KT isn't planning on using Flash for Ace matches anyway, Flash has lost vital matches on both Icarus and Aztec.

How can fortress be boring... i'm itching to see flash pull off another epic dropship play when he spawns on 3 oclock and his 'dinner' is spawned at 6 oclock. Just like how he vs'ed turn and best about half a year ago.

I'll be expecting Stats on ace match on day 1. He's competent enough for ace these days.

Playoffs sooner than I expected.

Which is good since I'm itching to see them, but bad because I thought Flash would have more time to rest, rehab, and practice.

Flash needs to rest. I'm sure the plan is to finish the matches before ace. Flash fighting!

Meh, that sucks. Why would they do that? There is still a lot of time left.

3rd (KT) vs 6th (STX)
4th (Woongjin) vs 5th (Khan)
winners of each
winner vs CJ
winner vs SKT
