(Yes, that includes Bisu) Also, last time Fantasy fought an Oz terran in TvT, he lost. (to Lomo) | ||

(to Lomo) I'm just saying that if OZ happens to get their best players besides Jaedong taken out, then they stand little to no chance of winning. Since the rest of OZ sucks, they really need Hiya and Backho and Lomo to step up and win a few games. If they don't, then they're screwed. | ||

If they don't, then they're screwed. and even if they do they basically need jd to win his normal game, the ace and the super ace. against t1´s lineups this is far far far from guaranteed. basically.... if jd wins his regular game, lomo, hiya and backho win 2 games, then t1 can send bisu on neo harmony or taekdusa. if oz//jd manage to win all that then still jd needs to beat fantasy on destination. imho its 87.5% in favor of skt1. | ||

I'm gonna second this and say that Backho's PvP is probably his best matchup. The guy plays with some solid mechanics, just some questionable decision making. Backho has some of the best reaver micro on the scene, so he can hang with the best (Stork, Bisu) at PvP. Plus, Backho is awesome. But, the chances of OZ pulling off an upset here are very slim. SKT's top players have been playing some pretty good games lately. Canata losing 2-3 to Jaedong is nothing to scoff at. | ||

Backho has shown that he can beat bisu if he doesn't choke his advantage with bad decisions. Like that time he killed bisu natural nexus and then lost because he didn't macro | ||

Backho has shown the ability to play very good PvP but also loses games to players that he shouldn't realistically lose to. Of course, it's easy to say that if Bisu plays his best, nobody can touch him in PvP, but I think Backho is good enough that something like Bisu getting a bad starting position, build order disadvantage, or losing a reaver carelessly (it could happen) could be enough to allow him to take the win. | ||
