Q: Which team would you like to make it to the semis?

Stork = We get to choose the 1st and 7th set map, so that's good. What's more important than which team we meet is which players we face, but... Woongjin is always quite strong against us, so it would be nice if KT could make it.

Brave = I really hate facing the Zerg-strong Woongjin. I want to play KT (laugh).

Jangbi = Since we get to pick the 7th set map, we can shut out Flash, so I'd like to meet KT too.


Ohhhh actually I don't MIND KT not making to the play off so woongjin can tear samsung khan a new one .No seriously, KT is really under performing compared to last year pl final form we had and if it takes others to bring khan back to earth than so be it .

So what do you think of CJ instead of Woongjin doing that?


if CJ can beat us, sure.

I'd like to see CJ take it all the way, I honestly do.

Wow, didn't know that 2nd place finisher gets to pick the the ace map. That to me is kind of huge against a team like KT, since it makes Flash a little more mortal than usual.

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.

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.

The map picking thing is actually not so bad for KT. Of course every team, which has to play KT, will pick a map that disadvantages T's on set 1 and set 7. But this also means, it is easier for KT to predict the oppenent and Flash can prepare more intensive.

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

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)

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.

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.
Look. Only Forward. See. Only Victory.

Given ACE's play against KT, CJ could lose to ACE. The question is whether ACE wants to win or not.

It's also an advantage for set 1 though, so it doesn't have to get to set 7 to make a difference.
