if CJ can beat us, sure.
I'd like to see CJ take it all the way, I honestly do.

And honestly, I think the one team Khan wants to avoid is CJ. It seems that as far as I can remember CJ always beats Khan in the PL. They just match up really well with Hydra/Effort as A-class zergs, Horang2 as PvP sniper, plus Leta who's strong. To me Khan against KT or Woongjin is about even in terms of strength. | ||

To me Khan against KT or Woongjin is about even in terms of strength. It's whoever is higher in the ranking who gets to pick Day 1 and 3 maps for Ace, lower ranking gets Day 2 Ace choice. So SKT gets to pick for their sole Bo7 the Ace map (which is also Map 1 as well) while Khan gets to pick the Ace map for Day 1 and 3 for the team that will win the KT vs CJ/Stars quarterfinals, who will have KT choosing their Day 1/3 maps as well. | ||

Thanks for the explanation. It's still an advantage nonetheless. | ||

But this also means, it is easier for KT to predict the oppenent and Flash can prepare more intensive. last season playoff KT only played to set 7 twice, once against woongjin and the finals. KT can do it again(provided Mind does not get TvTs and barracks gets nothing but TvT) | ||

To me Khan against KT or Woongjin is about even in terms of strength. I wish I could agree, but in their current form, Stars are huge underdogs against Khan because of Light's non-existent TvP, Free falling off the face of the earth, and Zero's slump. The match-ups have to be perfect for Stars to have a decent chance against Khan. That means the Twin Sunkens vs the Twin Canons and Light gets a TvZ. I think the team Khan is actually strongest against is SKT because they don't have anyone who is a favorite over Stork and Jangbi. And if Stork gets matched-up against Bisu, then Khan is in a great position. | ||

And if Stork gets matched-up against Bisu, then Khan is in a great position. I wouldn't be so harsh w Free, not with today's game at least. I mean that cheese was... As most other cheeses, deadly if not scouted. And clearly Free wasn't even aware of such a possibility seeing as he didn't scout that area at all, despite knowing (?) that his opponent is 1 Pylon short (don't quote me on it). Getting cheesed out is nothing too big, and Fast Expand vs beside-your-base 4-Gates is a straight up loss. 3 Goons vs 7 Goons + superior instant reinforcement. | ||
