Will be very very very interesting!
As in Flash's interview after victory over CJ.

Reporter: Does Flash train Outlier?
Flash: It's a secret!

I am really looking forward for ACE match on day 1!!!
Bisu,Best,Stork,Jangbi and Flash, Fantasy, Leta, Light and Jaedong, Hydra, Zero, Soulkey assemble in ACE now!

KT, already warmed up, is the team with the better composure under pressure, and a team whose every player steps up when it matters.

No statement can be truer than this. KT, under Flash, always overcomes dire situation as well as tremendous pressure to take over the gold trophy. At least that's what happened in last year's GF, and there's no reason it's not gonna happen again this time.

As for the upcoming battle with Khan, I have but only one word: "Roadkill".

Considering you can always cancel the +1 air upgrade after the terran scans for a full refund, unlike with the hydralisk den, is it possible that we in fact actually will see this fake out more often than thought?

Seems like a small cost for outright wining the game, and later it will induce the meta-metagame "if he researches +1 does that mean he is going carriers or fake".

"The more things change, the more they stay the same.
KT is going to crush SKT T1 in the Proleague grand finals, as is tradition, and Samsung KHAN will be the roadkill.
The same as it ever was."

Congrats to Kiett and Hyde !
What else can I say, it's an amazing write-up, even better than what I'm now used to.
I hope to see more articles like the one Sayle wrote, I'd say the only thing your team is missing is someone like Ver. Not that easy to write something like this regularly though.
Thanks guys !

KT's piece was longer, does that mean we win?

Also, I totally missed the fake air weapons research in the first Stats vs Leta o_o great catch

every year its the same: Playoffs starts, Hoejja turns Supersayan, everybody wonders.
Until somebody points out that in every Starleague Interview where flash wins against zerg he said he was training with hoejja and that he is very thankful towards him.
And then somebody remembers that every 2 Years Ko Kang Min is called God Kang Min.
And then everybody chears,

GO GOD KANG MIN!

KT hasnt a lost a single proleague ever since the matchfixing-scandal and the departure of luxury. That just shows that everybody who won before them was fixing the playoffs. KT are the only LEGIT winners so far

User was warned for this post
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

So. Much. Content.
Very interesting analysis from Sayle, I was curious as to why Leta hurried to push Stats instead of massing the exponentially strong mech deathball. I guess I got my answer !

Thanks a lot !
