Luxury or by.hero for an osl title would please me . On one hand i think Luxury should make at least the finals . He made the semifinals twise or so ? Or by.hero because he is the next in line for the zerg royal road which only great zergs have achieved - July Savior and Jaedong , and he is a strong candidate if he somehow gets past his teammate and doesn't end up facing Jaedong .

This is pretty interesting. My thoughts/hopes:

Bisu > Best
Fantasy > Lux - I like both these guys but Fantasy is just so cool. Also, the winner plays Bisu/Best right? I wanna see Fantasy/Bisu play
Hero > Hwasin - I have no clue. I don't know how good Hero is, I have no clue who is gonna win this. I'm just gonna say Hero
Stork > Jaedong - Do I hear whispers of a Jaedong/Bisu final? Screw that. Finals is gonna be Stork vs Bisu

semis
Bisu > Fantasy - The 5 games will add up to 5 hours of gameplay!
Stork > Hero

finals
Bisu > Stork - Legend says Bisu sold his PvZ for a PvT that can beat Flash. Nonono, he sold his PvZ for a PvP that can easily 3-0 Stork

I think it's an accomplishment in itself that Stork is seemingly overcoming the curse, no?

Not really, his form has kinda dropped in the WL. Jaedong also made it to Bacchus Ro8 before getting knocked out by Flash. Flash made it to EVER Ro8 before getting knocked out by Luxury.

Bisu should beat Best but considering that they are teammates it should be close.
Hero v Hwasin a flipp coin I would say
Lux Beats Fantasy
JD ofcourse beats Stork.

Best > Bisu - but could go either way. I'll give the slightest of edges due to his ridiculously good pvp.

Hero > Hwasin - Hwasin's TvZ has been looking lazy to me lately. He looks a bit too confident in the matchup and I think he's cutting corners. Hero has shown some impressive results as of late in ZvT and with everyone expecting Hwasin to win, I think the upset is on.

Luxury > Fantasy - I think Fantasy's TvZ lacks. Zergs seem to be more comfortable against his mech play now; forcing him back to the more standard bio play which really doesn't inspire confidence (as his <50% vs Z record suggests). I actually believe Lux will win this pretty easily unless Fantasy can pull a really tailored build. If Fantasy plays straight up, Lux will prevail easily imo.

JD > Stork - Stork's PvZ is capable of winning here, but I really doubt it will. Everyone knows about Stork's PvZ weakness and JD is the zerg who will expose it to the greatest degree. I wouldn't write the defending champ off completely, but this looks like the easiest win of the night.

Made a blog about my thoughts because I don't really like posting somewhat good substance in the middle of a thread which just gets lost in the shuffle.

Stork needs to consult Much for a build of some kind again like he did v. Fantasy and v. Best.

Even then, Stork's probably going to fail.

Predictions:

Macro > Micro -> You can probably guess what matchup this is. Best's macro is just absolutely insane, that's how he turns a game around. Also take note that Best did technically have an absolutely ridiculous PvP tear until he ran into Stork. Best only has the slightest of the slightest of edges for in PvP's, shuttle control is emphasized and Best's shuttle control, well, let's just say he needs improvement.

Hero > Hwasin-> Hero has been on fire lately, but so has Hwasin. But I'm sensing that Hero is going to pull something here.

Luxury > Fantasy- Fantasy just can't seem to play bio very effectively and mech is going to lose the element of surprise that it had when Fantasy faced GGPlay. Luxury will win this one and advance into yet ANOTHER Ro4.

Jaedong > Stork- Stork's PvZ isn't really horrific/terrible yet it still leaves something to be desired (as can be seen with "KWANROOOLLLEEDD"). Jaedong has a great ZvP record and will take advantage of any errors Stork makes. Adding those two together, Stork's run for a repeat will end here.

My predictions with random percentages, based on my personal opinion of the players strength:

Bisu > Best

Bisu is the top protoss player right now by far. Bests PvP is ridiculously good though, it could still be close. 70% chance for Bisu winning though

Luxury > Fantasy

Luxury has been the second best Zerg for a long time. Fantasy has gotten a lot worse since losing to Stork. 70% Luxury.

By.Hero < Hwasin

Hwasin is hot right now, and TvZ has always been his strength, hero doesn't really stand a chance. 90% Hwasin

Jaedong > Stork

Stork hasn't been as good as he can be (OSL curse?), he might've been practicing just for this, who knows . Jaedong going strong at the moment. 75% Jaedong.

Bisu > Luxury

Semi-finals, the series get closer, but not this one. Bisu is just too hot 70% for him again.

Hwasin = Jaedong

This series is 50:50 to be honest, I can't decide. When I need to liquibet this, I will flip a coin.

Jaedong > Bisu
Bisu > Hwasin

Whatever will happen in Hwasin vs Jaedong, this will happen in the final series. Bisu vs Hwasin 60%, Jaedong vs Bisu 55%

If Best and Luxury meet up, there's no doubt that Luxury will lose in a spectacular fashion, ending with him crying again.
Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself. I am large, I contain multitudes.
