Oz has a chance if JD beats fantasy and their two zergs win their ZvZs.

is this for real? this is definately one of the better lineups Oz could have hoped for. they can almost pull 3 wins without JD

edit: ok now day 2 posted. looks like oz will be trying to win day 1 again, but if perfectman can snipe bisu, day 2 is also a possibility

oh hey, Day 1 is extremely winnable for Oz, if their zergs perform... and Canata v Lomo might be close.

Jaedong V Fantasy will be so tense though

NO BISU VS JAEDONG!!

Day 1.. the first game can easily turn the match in favor for another team.
Both very strong players capable of taking a game from each other.
This first game can really give confidence to the winner's team and boost morales.
Bisu playing last doesn't seem good to me though. Why put one of your best player last?

Day 2.. seems in favor for SKT1. (or I am just biased). Bisu's PvP is superb and known for the amazing micro in big battles. Not sure how PerfectMan will perform though.
Jaedong is matched up against Hyuk.. who is a SKT1 zerg. Enough said. It is a good MU for SKT1 to give one of their worser player to the other team's ace.
fantasy's TvT is really good, defeating Leta and Canata while HiyA's TvT is like 40%?
BeSt may be known for his PvP.. but it seems lately he's only good for his PvT. So I think SKT1 has a really good chance the second day.

Hell yes! Hiya vs Bisu, Jaedong vs Fantasy will make up for all the other boring matchups on day 1. Day 2 looks pretty dull except for Hiya vs Fantasy. I could see it going either way at least. Can't wait.

why does the oz coach send out ggaemo when he has the perfectly fine perfectman in day 1?
Backho fan since 080416. Favourite terran: Mind. Favourite Zerg: Jaedong.

Oz has a big fucking shot to take this down. Can't wait for JD Fantasy.. and I seriously can't even imagine the intenseness of a super ace... Fantasy or Bisu? OR BOXER?!

ggaemo has way better chances to beat HyuK on Medusa than PerfectMan, expecially considering that ggaemo practiced to play Effort on this map.

Oz actually has a chance to take it. If Jaedong wins against Fantasy on day 1 there is good chance for oz to take it to the ace at least and the ace map is really bad for P so it will be again Fantasy to play Jaedong.

On the 2nd, Oz is in worse position but still. If Backho performs well this can be dragged till the ace match.

These are great lineups for OZ, props to the coach for doing what he can. Day 1 could go either way very easily and while Day 2 is certainly SKT favored, these playoffs have been so full of snipes that anything could happen.

I'm surprised JD gets to play times on Outsider, I thought he will get Medusa in day one. Same with Bisu. Oz have a pretty good shot to take it in day 1, but if fantasy wins the first game, it will go very fast downhill for Oz. Imagine how demotivating will be to see your best team mate go down in the very first game of the match

GAHHHH
LOMO TWICE ON SHADES
AFTER LOSING 2 TVT RAPES VS CJ

why coach cho why

WHY

Day 1
(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
(Z)Hyuk < Neo Medusa > (Z)ggaemo
(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (T)HiyA
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (Z)Jaedong

Day 2
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
(Z)Hyuk < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Destination > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (T)HiyA
(P)BeSt < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
(P)Bisu < Neo Medusa > (Z)Jaedong

For maximum epicness

Then Jaedong wins the ace

Oh cool, I was right, SKT did use 2 zergs.

I BELIVE!

Gotta give it up for coach Cho, he has really shown his ability to pick the right players for the right maps. Now it'll be interesting to see what ggaemo and killer can do against these SKT zergs!

I also belive in perfectman!

i may be a newbie in terms of post counts, but seriously i don'T know what you are talking about.

These are horrible lineups for JD/oz, fantasy will mech him day 1 and a newbie zerg in day 2 is also not very good. Remember T>Z. Both Days SK wins with ez.
Bisu... ;-(

oh and by the way

(Z)Hyuk: I have gained a lot of confidence as I prepared for the Grand Finals. If I am given the chance to play, I feel that I will definitely be able to win. I want to face against Jaedong out of all the Hwaseung players. I will prepare as I await my match against Jaedong.

Looks like Hyuk got his wish

Definitely very winnable for Oz. Especially since Ace maps are all very favorable for ZvP. And T1 might have to use Fantasy for Ace rather than Bisu.

Haha come on guys, I'm rooting for Oz but to think that Perfectman has any more than like a 10% chance to beat Bisu is going too far.

If Fantasy vs Jaedong delivers here and in OSL, it may just supercede Flash vs Jaedong.

Let's go Oz! Great lineups for them, but as usual there will be some upsets. I just can't wait for this.

(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
Here's your chance to make it big, PerfectMan. Don't mess up and you can be just like GuemChi!

Why did SKT1 send Hyuk out instead of BoxeR? It's not like Hyuk has a better chance of winning than BoxeR... Oh well. Day 1 SKT1 4-2, Day 2 SKT1 4-1.

If Jaedong can beat Fantasy then I can definately see Oz taking Day 1 and then counting on the super ace again. Oz looks pretty fucked in Day 2 though

It's a race to ace for both Oz both days. There are so many matches in flux, devaluing each match, especially those on day two.

ROFL why'd they send 2 zergs, Oz zergs practice with jaedong man. ><
HiyA has a good shot of beating bisu in Day 1 since it's his best matchup vs Bisus worst. Lomos cheesy TvT has a good chance of owning Canata's slow methodical TvT. Best sucks. Hyuk and thezerg suck. Even if Jaedong loses Oz has a great chance of winning in day1

Day 2 is rigged though, if perfectman snipes Bisu we need a bonjwa thread for him. Jaedong is gonna win for sure, BackHo will win if he pulls out the BackHo vs Flash game on desti but this is highly unlikely. Killer is gonna win for sure.

But then Fantasy and best are gonna win two straight and send it to ace on Taekdusa. Jaedong has a chance, but most likely not because this is Bisus map.

Jaedong vs Bisu on Super Ace for sure, most epic game in BW history, probably gonna end with a complete one sided rape by one player.

i'm as big of an oz fanboy as the next guy, but basically you're saying that magikarp > charizard because water > fire. i don't care how wide hiya opens his mouth, there's nothing about his play right now that merits someone saying that he stands even a reasonable shot of beating bisu.

that said, i think oz is really lucky their two non-JD zergs both landed ZvZs. Probably the easiest matchup to prepare for, and having JD to help them with their zvz is a huge asset.

VERY good line-ups for OZ... especially day 1. If they can win that we're pretty much guaranteed a super-ace.

Assuming Jaedong can be perfect (which ofc is the assumption in regular matches, but will be hard against fantasy), the odds of at least 2 of those other match-ups (mainly the two ZvZs) going in Oz's favor is good!

Oz's Zergs just have to deliver in Day 1 and Jaedong should win Super Ace again. Really nice strat.
Jaedong has to be a Bonjwa. Tired of of rooting for July.

The day 1 lineup isn't as great for Oz as some of you apparently think, but it is decent. The problem is, even if they make it to super ace, I'd give Bisu even odds against the Dong.

JD vs. bisu rematch on destination for super ace would be so sick. i'd give JD the edge in a straight-up game, considering how he has man-handled bisu on this map in the past

blah, I was hoping SKT would choose Mong or Boxer over sending a second zerg, but I guess it can't be helped since it was only zerg maps left after the four starters were sent out :l

Good draw for OZ, but they really need ggaemo and Killer to step it up. SKT Zergs might be bad, but I have a feeling that their experience in the end will help guide them to victory. As long as Hyuk + TheZerg don't lose both games, then T1 has a great shot at winning Day 1 and 2. That said, if Jaedong loses to start the day off vs. Fantasy, then OZ is absolutely fucked.

(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
(Z)Hyuk < Neo Medusa > (Z)ggaemo
(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (T)HiyA

(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
(Z)Hyuk < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Destination > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (T)HiyA
(P)BeSt < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo

Looks to me like a 4-2 for SKT both days. But for OZ to have a shot, Jaedong has to win all his games. If he drops a game, then they might as well just give up.

The draw worked out well for OZ, but I still feel like it would have been way closer if CJ was playing. I also agree that it will be a 4-2 both days, but you never know. I really didn't expect OZ to make it past cJ, so we will just have to see I guess.

Day 1 is crucial for both teams. This can go both ways.
Day 2, on the other hand, seems to favor SKT1.

Good luck! I can't wait to see this. GO SKT1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As good as Jaedong is, fantasy has been prepping for a game against him for quite some time now. He'll be more than ready, so I think he's got a pretty good shot.

Purely based on statistical data... but you may criticize the data I picked and the way I calculated the likely winner (multiplied winning percentages and compared them, higher > lower; if winning percentage = 0 or 1, I ignored that ratio)as you see fit, of course.
Map / Player / Race – (Map - Race win ratio) – Map / Player / Race
x = no data, .5 by default (I know, I know... terrible idea)
I picked up someone's idea of fantasy as Ace #1 (If it's Bisu, doesn't matter much to the %, as Neo Harmony sports a lovely 75% ZvP win ratio), and was lazy for day 2 so I didn't
calculate all %... if the (statistical) winner was obvious.

Day 1 - T1 3:4 OZ
(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
.96 - .43 - .53 (.44 TvZ) .50 - .57 - .65
0.09626 – 0.09818
(T)Canata < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
x - .5 - .55 (-) .44 - .5 - .41
0.1375 – 0.092
(Z)Hyuk < Neo Medusa > (Z)ggaemo
x – 1 - .42 (-) x – 0 - .5
0.21 - .25
(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)BackHo
.8 – x - .69 (-) .25 – x - .5
0,276 – 0,0625
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
.43 – x - .32 (-) 1 – x - x
0,0688 – 0,25
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (T)HiyA
.72 - .67 - .61 (.46 PvT) x - .33 - .63
0,13536 – 0,0561
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (Z)Jaedong
.96 - .43 - .53 (.44 TvZ) .50 - .57 - .65
0,0962 – 0,10374

Day 2 - T1 1:4 OZ (1:4, but if it comes to Super Ace, JD is likely to win)
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
.71 - x - .67 (-) .40 - x - .33
(Z)Hyuk < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
.5 - 0 - .42 (-) .5 - 1 - .77
(T)Canata < Destination > (P)BackHo
.38 - 1 - .53 (.41 TvP) .67 - 0 - .55
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
.43 – x - .32 (-) 1 – x - x
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (T)HiyA
.40 - 0 - .60 (-) .75 - 1 - .40
(P)BeSt < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
1 - x - .64 (.64 PvT) .44 - x - .46
(P)Bisu < Neo Medusa > (Z)Jaedong
.75 - .46 - .65 (.40 PvZ) .78 - .54 - .66
0,0897 – 0,1668

Personally, I think Oz wins day 2 rather than day1 (with fantasy beating HiyA)... and I do think JD wins the Super Ace,
but the margin is as small as it gets.

Records:

Fantasy 3 - 4 Jaedong
Bisu 6 - 7 Jaedong ("IT'S CALLED HOLD POSITION, BRO!")

If anyone can take JD out in Super ace, it's SKT.

SKT's only chance is to take it to superace and win it there which is not going to happen.
Bisu is probably cutting sleep and practicing 24/7 PvZ for that super Ace and he's gonna lose on both day 1 and 2.
Oz might just win 2-0

Keep in mind that Oz just beat CJ and has much more momentum in them.

Fun fact: backho should be the favorite to win both of his games.

Another fun semi-subjective semi-fact: Jaedong is really clutch especially in games as important as this.

ROFL why'd they send 2 zergs, Oz zergs practice with jaedong man. ><
HiyA has a good shot of beating bisu in Day 1 since it's his best matchup vs Bisus worst. Lomos cheesy TvT has a good chance of owning Canata's slow methodical TvT. Best sucks. Hyuk and thezerg suck. Even if Jaedong loses Oz has a great chance of winning in day1

i'm as big of an oz fanboy as the next guy, but basically you're saying that magikarp > charizard because water > fire. i don't care how wide hiya opens his mouth, there's nothing about his play right now that merits someone saying that he stands even a reasonable shot of beating bisu.

that said, i think oz is really lucky their two non-JD zergs both landed ZvZs. Probably the easiest matchup to prepare for, and having JD to help them with their zvz is a huge asset.

This post made me lol.

We need a visual aid for this one.

This is actually a match I am really looking forward to (aside from JD v Fantasy, of course). Firstly, there haven't been that many PvPs of late given the composition of the OSL and MSL. And while BeSt historically has some top notch PvP, BackHo has not been playing terribly either, especially in that matchup. I'd like to see if BeSt can bring out his older level of play.

Fantasy vs Jaedong is the deciding match if Oz can make this a super Ace. In Day 2 SkT is feeding Jaedong a zerg, and their 4 best players will take it home before the Ace match.
Day1 if Jaedong can take down fantasy, then we will have the rest of the SkT big 4 win their 3 games, and Oz zerg wins both zvzs, and it will be Jaedong vs Bisu for Ace match.

Jaedong has to take down 3 SkTelecon Aces to win the whole thing,(including the super Ace if they win day 1) whereas SkTelecon only needs to take one of these 3 games to seal Oz's run.

My prediction is Jaedong will be unbeatable in day1 beating both fantasy and Bisu, but in the Super Ace Bisu will have his revenge.

There's a 4-0 coming. Only thing im not to certain about is Jaedong vs Fanta.. But i feel like Fanta will want the win much much more.

Where's Boxer? Would have been entertaining if he showed up in at least one match. He did show he can play well against some of the ACE veterans like Anytime/Reach in the Estars tournament.

Lineups for Day 1 seem to favor Oz slightly. Oz has the chance to take day 1 with those two ZvZ's against the SKTFail Zergs.

Day 2 is probably going to be a 4-2 SKT win with the sole wins coming from Jaedong/Killer or Backho.

Then, a Super ACE yet again. SKT probably going to send out Fantasy. After all, hasn't he been practicing against Jaedong for the OSL too?

Oz will win in ace match day one. JD will win super ace day two.

Looks pretty bad for Oz, actually. Hiya, Lomo, and Backho are facing Canata, Bisu, and Best, who are quite a bit better than they are. It would be more ideal of Oz if they send their top players against the SKT1 zergs and use their own lower-end players as scapegoats.

wow, oz has a surprisingly good chance to take this

T1 zergs need to pull through if SKT wants to avoid a super ace with JD; then again if anyone has a chance of taking on JD in a super ace (or in an ace match on day 1), it's bisu, or maybe fantasy (although this guy isn't proven for ace match play, it looks like he'll be specifically preparing for JD anyway)

As an Oz Fan, I'd have to say they have to be careful against SKT zergs because each team could practice for a long time. They know who they're playing and on what map. They could just practice and practice so, maybe SKT zergs will be able to somewhat pull off a win. Though, Oz should win, for the love of God.
Jaedong has to be a Bonjwa. Tired of of rooting for July.

However bad ggaemo and Killer may have done in the past, they (like their SKT counterparts) have presumably been practicing nothing but zvz for the past.. well, forever.

IMO this match will all come down to which team's "crappy" zergs deliver on day 1. Except Oz's get to practice ZvJ. I'm predicting a re-run of Oz vs CJ.

It's hard to bet against Jaedong, especially with his vT record. I see him beating fantasy, but I somehow doubt the zerg players on SKT will be as bad as people seem to think they are. I'm willing to bet they'll lose 1 of 2 matches, but I doubt they'll lose both. As long as one of the zerg players picks up a point, Bisu will end it before an ace match.

Day 2, however, could get interesting. The first match should be a Bisu victory, but then the next three I can see OZ sweeping, which will force SKT to win out even to get an ace match. Then it's anybody's game.

It'll all come down to who prepares more - will we see something like with Iris v perfectman? Rumor has it that Iris has been practicing for the single player leagues a lot more than for PL and he got sniped very badly. I wonder if SKT has laid down the law for their players that PL is the most important one to the sponsor? Or if that's even the case...

Either way, I'm pumped for these games!

Hmm.... wow, I am amazed how OZ was able to bring this lineup as close as it can get... however....

we're talking SKT1 here and they are the kings and #1 of proleague!!! They will not fall easily to this....... team JD! As such, here are my thoughts:

SK Telecom T1 vs Hwaseung OZ

Day 1
(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
(Z)Hyuk < Neo Medusa > (Z)ggaemo
(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (T)HiyA
< Neo Harmony >

No ace necessary.....

Day 2
(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
(Z)Hyuk < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong
(T)Canata < Destination > (P)BackHo
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)Killer
(T)fantasy < Neo Harmony > (T)HiyA
(P)BeSt < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo

Ace:
(P)Bisu < Neo Medusa > (Z)Jaedong


Yep, QuickStriker's personal predictions.... yes, Day 2 seems like a dream and all but I believe!!!! And Bisu vs JD would be too epic to predict....

Note: Carnac, I know you are here and you may be reading this, so I'll say it straight up. I know you locked my 1000th post OP about (P)PerfectMan and how perfect he is but in the case on Day 2 where (P)PerfectMan actually snipes and destroys Bisu, I STRONGLY suggest you to unlock and make my thread alive again instead of calling it pointless and meaningless of such a thread. If guemchi = next bonjwa thread exist, why can't mine? Especially if (P)PerfectMan pulls another perfection!

Based on these lineups I have no idea who's going to win since it seems to prone to luck.


In this case, OZ has the advantage because they have the Super Ace Card in Jaedong. They just have to win 1 day and a victory looks certain for them. Therefore, I have to give OZ the advantage.

Definitely not as favorable as a lineup as Oz had vs CJ (day 1), but it's possible. Just possible.

Decent lineup for OZ. They definitly have a chance. Somehow, someway, I just see it coming down to Jaedong and Bisu on neo medusa for all the marbles.

I predict another (Z)Jaedong upset.
(Z)Hyuk > (Z)Jaedong Maybe (Z)Hyuk got some tips from (Z)Orion

Hopefully either 1) SKT1 wins 2-0 or 2) Comes down to a SuperAce match in which (P)Bisu>(Z)Jaedong
But Oz DOES have a chance of winning it all.

I don't know why people think that Oz did such a good job with lineups. I think the SKT1 coach actually ended up with more favorable matchups.

Consider that Oz only has a few players besides Jaedong who are solid: Backho, Hiya, and Lomo. Lomo is like 50% solid, but we'll count him.

These players are each matched up against players that have a definite advantage against them: Best, Bisu, and Canata on day 1, and Canata, Fantasy, and Best on day 2.

I think SKT has a strong advantage in all of these games, and should take both sets without going to super Ace.

Why does noone give Bisu a chance in super Ace? He's pretty good PvZ, or so I hear.

Because the maps favour zerg and Bisu's lost to Zero recently, while Jaedong is a freaking monster.

The first match on day 1 seems to be quite decisive. Many of the predictions however seem to underestimate the SKT zergs. At last Hyuk and Thezerg have both played won more than one televised ZvZ before. That is something Killer and ggaemo cannot claim between them.

I'm quite looking forward to Busy vs Hiya. It's not such a stretch that the match will happen. In fact I think one of the SK zergs may just win to allow Bisu to close out the match. If that happens Oz should be in trouble.

One day 2 I think Canata and Thezerg should be able to get one game in between them to allow fantasy and Best to put the pressure on.

All in all I fear Best will fail SK, but one of the zergs could just step it up!

Bisu lost to Zero on a zerg map and against queens. To say that he's not going out because he RECENTLY LOST TO ZERO is a horrible arguement. He has a 65.18% winrate vs zerg. C'mon now. The Revolutionist has a great chance as taking down, if not better, than Fantasy and Canata

Heartbreak is a P map, this is what Protoss progamers told me. Nobody tells that Bisu doesn't stand a chance against JD, of course he has, and i agree that his chances are better than Fantasy's and Canata's. People are just pointing out that Jaedong will be a slight favourite on a zerg favoured maps. And on Destination Jaedong has 2:0 record against Bisu, that says a lot imo.

oh wait..it WAS Heartbreak wasnt it..i thought it was holy world for some reason
...but still, imo Bisu has the greatest chance of taking a game off of Jaedong. Destination isn't THAT imbalanced imo, and bisu DID beat Jaedong in a ACE game...

Well, Bisu beat Jaedong pretty badly the last time they met in an Ace match. As we all know, Jaedong in angry mode = utter rape. Every time you beat Jaedong, your chances of winning the next encounter goes down by 50%. I mean... when was the time last someone beat Jaedong 2 encounters in a row?

Ok, seriously. Bisu has a very good chance, especially since he has more time to practice. Jaedong has to prepare for Bisu and Fantasy. I would go as far as saying it'll be 50/50 between Jaedong and Bisu/Fantasy.

He has to split up his training time about 60/40 for his ZvT vs Fantasy and his ZvZ vs Hyuk.. (actually make it 80/20...) There is a chance Jaedong might not have practiced enough for Bisu. Bisu however has been practicing non-stop for..3 weeks?

but he also has to play Hiya. He can practice PvT and that'll cover his matches vs Hiya and Perfectman. Jaedong doesn't have that much time to practice~ Bisu has had 3 weeks..

I don't really see why it matters. It's probably more important letting players play on their favourite map than getting a psychological advantage with early wins.

Because the maps favour zerg and Bisu's lost to Zero recently, while Jaedong is a freaking monster.

Bisu lost to Zero on a zerg map and against queens. To say that he's not going out because he RECENTLY LOST TO ZERO is a horrible arguement. He has a 65.18% winrate vs zerg. C'mon now. The Revolutionist has a great chance as taking down, if not better, than Fantasy and Canata


Well, Bisu beat Jaedong pretty badly the last time they met in an Ace match. As we all know, Jaedong in angry mode = utter rape. Every time you beat Jaedong, your chances of winning the next encounter goes down by 50%. I mean... when was the time last someone beat Jaedong 2 encounters in a row?

Ok, seriously. Bisu has a very good chance, especially since he has more time to practice. Jaedong has to prepare for Bisu and Fantasy. I would go as far as saying it'll be 50/50 between Jaedong and Bisu/Fantasy.

He has to split up his training time about 60/40 for his ZvT vs Fantasy and his ZvZ vs Hyuk.. (actually make it 80/20...) There is a chance Jaedong might not have practiced enough for Bisu. Bisu however has been practicing non-stop for..3 weeks?

Maybe you didn't notice, but Bisu is playing in the MSL tomorrow. A PvT. In the PL he's playing a PvT and a PvP. You honestly think he'll only practice PvZ? And worth mentioning might be that Bisu has recently performed the worst in PvZ out of all his match-ups. Another thing people don't seem to realize is that Backho holds more than a decent chance against Best, possibly even being a favorite.

Matchups look pretty good for Oz, especially day 1. Lomo is inconsistent but remember he beat fantasy on Shades not too long ago, so he is definitely capable of beating Canata. Oz Zergs have Jaedong to practice ZvZ with while SKT1 Zergs are known for failing. And I think Backho is capable of beating BeSt. Day 2 is slightly worse but there's still a decent chance at Oz bringing it to ace match.

Well with BackHo and Best is the match who will fail first . I bet on the Ho , because he has the reputation of doing so , but watching Best play in PL this season i don't know should be close .
I also can't tell who is the favourite in the ZvZs in here of course i'm not talking about JD . On OZ side we have zergs other then JD on the SKT side we have the fail zergs . They will probably split a win each .

1. The first ACE match (should it happen) will be interesting. Neo Harmony is a protoss graveyard, with a full 3:1 advantage for the zerg (guess who bagged one of the four protoss wins however, and against whom he did it...), and there's no way in hell that SKT1 sends a zerg against (Z)Jaedong here, so (T)fantasy is the likely pick. I think fantasy's chances are much stronger on Outsider however, so I think on the first day fantasy either wins once, or loses twice.

2. In retrospect, I think that the SKT1 zergs are probably getting the short end of the stick. After I posted my initial predictions, I realized that I predicted (Z)Thezerg to win twice, and (Z)Hyuk to lose twice, and somehow that doesn't seem right to me. But I think that (Z)ggaemo seems to be Oz's best bet (outside of JD, of course) as he has been practicing ZvZ for weeks now, after preparing for EffOrt last round. (Z)Killer is a total wild-card, as is Thezerg. These will undoubtably be my lowest confidence picks, at any rate.

3. Should (P)PerfectMan win, how long will the live report thread get?

4. SKT1 has handled (P)BeSt well in this series, he faces a toss and a terran, both generally his stronger match-ups. His PvP recently has been pretty poor however, and that makes (P)BackHo (who deserves more credit) the favorite. BackHo is also strong in PvT and PvP, and I think BackHo may end up as Oz's second hero- he has tough match-ups, but is probably an even draw in both.

5. What map would the super(dooper) ACE be on?

OZ TOO EZ

oh and by the way

(Z)Hyuk: I have gained a lot of confidence as I prepared for the Grand Finals. If I am given the chance to play, I feel that I will definitely be able to win. I want to face against Jaedong out of all the Hwaseung players. I will prepare as I await my match against Jaedong.

Pretty much a TvZ wonderland, so Fantasy is the safe bet for super ace. It's not bad for PvZ either so Bisu wouldn't be a horrible choice.

It's definitely a hard map for zerg most of the time, though, so SKT's got a good shot if it goes there.

After watching Jaedong demolishing SkyHigh on Destination makes me think that JD is very good against mech on it. Although Fantasy's mech style is quite different from SkyHigh's but still. Not talking about Fantasy's bio skills of course. The map is fairly even in PvZ so i think Bisu would be the best choice. I really hope it comes to that. What can be better to round up this long Proleague season.

LOL @ people who think (T)Lomo stands a chance to win any game. hahahaha

I would have sent (Z)s2 instead of (Z)Hyuk, but well, (Z)Hyuk might pull a win and raise to bonjwa status like (Z)Orion.

Man, these lineups are so crazy awesome. Day 2 could have been better, but Day 1 is the day. OZ wins this day or they go home.

SKT1 FailZergs vs. ggaemo and killer. Admittedly not the most accomplished of players, but they still practice with Jaedong. They've seen more great ZvZ play than anyone else. At least one of these guys must win for OZ to have a chance.

Jaedong vs. Fantasy on Day 1 isn't important; it's insurance. If one of the FailZergs happen to take a game, but Jaedong also wins, then it all comes down to BackHo.

After his awesomely crappy performances a few days ago, I have zero faith in Lomo. I'm surprised that OZ didn't put in PerfectMan with some kind of prepared snipe build.

Bisu is not going to lose to Hiya.

That leaves BackHo vs. Best. Best is slumping, while BackHo is doing reasonably well. In the past, BackHo has been able to snatch games from Stork (mostly in GOM), but he isn't known for PvP. Best has the better PvP record, but he's sucking bad recently. Maybe a month spent practicing will reinvigorate his PvP.

The Ace match on Day 1 will require Fantasy; Neo Harmony is death for any Protoss. One of these players will be looking for revenge.

The Super Ace has a problem though: Destination. I suppose OZ thumbs-down'd Shades of Twilight due to the horrible PvZ record. But Fantasy is going to be out on Destination. Jaedong has a winning record there, and his most recent games on the map show strength. It's going to be interesting. Of course, they could send out Bisu, just to get the fated Jaedong vs. Bisu match underway. But I'm guessing they'll play the odds and go for Fantasy (though the outcome of Day 1 might decide that. If Jaedong face-stomps Fantasy, especially if he does it twice, they'll call for Bisu).

A lot of things have to work out right for OZ to win. Jaedong will have to go God-mode, but also their other Zergs need to step up against the FailZergs. And BackHo needs to steal one.

Day 2 is less hopeful, but there's still a chance.

People want to believe that PerfectMan is the ultimate sniper. But I'm pretty sure Bisu was watching that game. And I'm pretty sure Bisu was not impressed. Bisu is Bisu; PerfectMan will not snipe him.

Jaedong should roll up Hyuk; they've played before (unlike Orion).

BackHo vs. Canata. If OZ loses Day 1, BackHo must win this one. Canata has strength; BackHo needs to be at his absolute best here. Fortunately, it's Destination; he's got the map on his side.

Killer needs to win. Again.

I have no expectations of Hiya or Lomo doing anything but getting crushed. Yes, Best is slumping, but Lomo sucks; at least Best at one time was good.

If Jaedong, BackHo, and Killer take theirs on Day 2, then Jaedong will, without question, face Fantasy. They're not putting Bisu out on a map that has a 60% TvZ, but a 60% ZvP. There is one scenario that would prompt them to use Bisu: if OZ took Day 1. You are not going to potentially lose the Proleague Grand Finals in two Ace matches where the Last Dragon Bisu never played in either Ace match. Would you take that chance?

But it's TaekDusa


Why call it TaekDusa(which is a stupid nickname in the first place), anyway? Bisu is 31-8 there, Flash is 19-4. And considering PvT imbalance, it should have a nickname after Flash, not Bisu. -_-

He won't. The only matchup he's actually good at is TvZ. Sub 50% for both other MUs, which is what he's playing against two players whose best MUs are probably vs T.

SKT1 FailZergs vs. ggaemo and killer. Admittedly not the most accomplished of players, but they still practice with Jaedong. They've seen more great ZvZ play than anyone else. At least one of these guys must win for OZ to have a chance.

Jaedong vs. Fantasy on Day 1 isn't important; it's insurance. If one of the FailZergs happen to take a game, but Jaedong also wins, then it all comes down to BackHo.

After his awesomely crappy performances a few days ago, I have zero faith in Lomo. I'm surprised that OZ didn't put in PerfectMan with some kind of prepared snipe build.

Bisu is not going to lose to Hiya.

That leaves BackHo vs. Best. Best is slumping, while BackHo is doing reasonably well. In the past, BackHo has been able to snatch games from Stork (mostly in GOM), but he isn't known for PvP. Best has the better PvP record, but he's sucking bad recently. Maybe a month spent practicing will reinvigorate his PvP.

The Ace match on Day 1 will require Fantasy; Neo Harmony is death for any Protoss. One of these players will be looking for revenge.

The Super Ace has a problem though: Destination. I suppose OZ thumbs-down'd Shades of Twilight due to the horrible PvZ record. But Fantasy is going to be out on Destination. Jaedong has a winning record there, and his most recent games on the map show strength. It's going to be interesting. Of course, they could send out Bisu, just to get the fated Jaedong vs. Bisu match underway. But I'm guessing they'll play the odds and go for Fantasy (though the outcome of Day 1 might decide that. If Jaedong face-stomps Fantasy, especially if he does it twice, they'll call for Bisu).

A lot of things have to work out right for OZ to win. Jaedong will have to go God-mode, but also their other Zergs need to step up against the FailZergs. And BackHo needs to steal one.

Day 2 is less hopeful, but there's still a chance.

People want to believe that PerfectMan is the ultimate sniper. But I'm pretty sure Bisu was watching that game. And I'm pretty sure Bisu was not impressed. Bisu is Bisu; PerfectMan will not snipe him.

Jaedong should roll up Hyuk; they've played before (unlike Orion).

BackHo vs. Canata. If OZ loses Day 1, BackHo must win this one. Canata has strength; BackHo needs to be at his absolute best here. Fortunately, it's Destination; he's got the map on his side.

Killer needs to win. Again.

I have no expectations of Hiya or Lomo doing anything but getting crushed. Yes, Best is slumping, but Lomo sucks; at least Best at one time was good.

If Jaedong, BackHo, and Killer take theirs on Day 2, then Jaedong will, without question, face Fantasy. They're not putting Bisu out on a map that has a 60% TvZ, but a 60% ZvP. There is one scenario that would prompt them to use Bisu: if OZ took Day 1. You are not going to potentially lose the Proleague Grand Finals in two Ace matches where the Last Dragon Bisu never played in either Ace match. Would you take that chance?


But it's TaekDusa


Why call it TaekDusa(which is a stupid nickname in the first place), anyway? Bisu is 31-8 there, Flash is 19-4. And considering PvT imbalance, it should have a nickname after Flash, not Bisu. -_-

HoDusa!

imho its pretty obvious: neo harmony is horrible for toss, so their the ace without a doubt will be fantasy. thats another reason why they sent out fantasy early on day 1, so he got time to calm down after his loss before he gets a second attempt in the ace. if he wins his first game there will probably be no need for ace anyway.

on day 2 the ace map is taekdusa which is bisus map. so he will be the pretty obvious ace. that again matches well with him being sent out early for his regular game to leave some time before the ace.

the super ace, if needed, is very tricky: if skt1 lost on day 1 it was probably because fantasy got 0-2´d by jd, so they might rather send bisu. if skt1 lost on day 2 that almost inevitably means bisu lost the preceding ace match. (almost inevitably because there is a very very slim, theoretical chance oz might take day2 without ace...lol)
in this case they send out fantasy who should be doing fine in tvz on desti.

one problem i see though is bisus practice time: he gotta practice pvt for iris tomorrow and against hiya, pvp against perfectman and pvz against jd. fantasy plays jd in one of the regular matches anyway and will face him against the following week. as his tvt is great he can devote like 85% of his practice time to tvz, so maybe he is the better pick for super ace. any way i can very well imagine him taking at least 1 game from jd on day 1.


and i have to agree with some of the posters above me: dont underestimate the skt1 zergs. zvz is a coinflip naturally unless it involves either jaedong, effort or massive skill differences. none of these conditions is given here, so the oz zergs taking both zvzs seems rather unlikely to me.

Bisu lost to Jaedong last December, which was on Destination, the map that the super-ace match will be played on. Maybe that would change the coaches minds about sending Bisu in?

And by the way, if Kingdom quit as a coach to become an OGN commentator, is ilOveOov the new head coach?

Even if OZ gets to superace Bisu or Fantasy are fully capable of taking down JD. It won't happen though. SKT 2-0 and fully capable of winning superace even if they drop day 1.

Im suprised that Midas isn't playing. Instead they are deciding to put Hyuk? True, Midas hasn't been playing well recently in fact hes not even playing at all, but I think hes a better choice than Hyuk. Anyways I think in terms of lineup SKT has the advantage. But upsets do happen alot so I can definitely see Oz winning the proleague like they did in 2007;

Midas has fallen to more or less a B-Teamer.

Hyuk is no doubt still the better choice.

SK Telecom T1 vs Hwaseung OZ

Day 1
fantasy < Outsider > Jaedong
JD is just better, esp. on outsider
Canata < Shades of Twilight > Lomo
Both have shitty TvTs, but Lomos harass style will beat Canatas boring push style
Hyuk < Neo Medusa > ggaemo
Hyuk is terrible, ggaemo is 1-1 in televised matches, both against great, who is 10x better than hyuk
BeSt < Colosseum II > BackHo
best used to have amazing pvp, now he sucks and backho is still decent
Thezerg < God's Garden > Killer
Killer sucks hard, if it gets this far. yeah, he even sucks worse than thezerg. just check his minor league zvz record
Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > HiyA
this is ez
fantasy< Neo Harmony >Jaedong
Again, if it gets this far jaedong is still a better player, but fantasy might win because hes on a terran map


Day 2
Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)PerfectMan
Oz coach knows that oz will fail hard on day 2, he will tell perfectman to save the prepared build for the super-ace
Hyuk < Outsider > Jaedong
lol
Canata < Destination > BackHo
toss-up, backho's good reaver/ht micro will probably own canata who always sucks against harass
Thezerg < God's Garden > Killer
same as day 1
fantasy < Neo Harmony > HiyA
hiya will try to turtle as usual and lose
BeSt < Shades of Twilight > Lomo
lomo sucks at TvP, best's Pvt is still decent
< Neo Medusa >
absolutely no way will this go to ace match

(P)Awesome Snipe > Bisu
I predict 5 threads about perfectman being the next bonjwa being created

All the people saying just because Hwaseung Zergs practice with jaedong makes them pro are insane. It means they're pro at getting raped. Doesn't mean that they ever beat jaedong, and even if he gives them tips, its not like they're skill level comes anywhere close to his.

Day 1

(T)(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)(Z)Jaedong

If Collo is BeST's map and Medusa is Bisu's map, Outsider is Fantasy's map. He is 8-1 on it, albeit there were no TvZ's Fantasy looks damn solid on it. However, ZvT IS Jaedong's matchup and HIS only. No doubt Fantasy is practicing his balls off to take this game, but the way Jaedong is playing now, i doubt that Fantasy will take this from him. Barring some stupid cheese from Jaedong (5 pool sup?) i dont see Jaedong losing this.

(T)(T)Canata < Shades of Twilight > (T)(T)Lomo

The prodigal son has returned. After making a seriously deep trip into both the MSL AND OSL, Canata is finally able to prepare for PL's greatest stage...against Lomo. Here's the thing. Canata is fresh off of practicing TvT against Fantasy. OH? And guess who's he's practicing TvT against. The greatest terran players in starcraft history.. and besides. Lomo sucks.

(Z)(Z)Hyuk < Neo Medusa > (Z)(Z)ggaemo

Hyuk sucks. He sucks so bad it makes me cringe whenever i see him in the booth. However, WHO THE FUCK IS GGAEMO? Hyuk has been thrust into high pressure situations before, he'll be SLIGHTLY better prepared then..uhmm..ggaemo..

(P)(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)(P)BackHo

Guess who's 12-1 on Colosseum~ Yeah. PvP + Colo + macro + Backho = SKT1 wins set 4.

(Z)(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)(Z)Killer

-sigh- look @ ggaemo vs Hyuk

(P)(P)Bisu
< Heartbreak Ridge > (T)(T)HiyA

Remember when these two last met? Yeah. it was rape. Expect rape again ~


Day 2

(P)(P)Bisu < Heartbreak Ridge > (P)(P)PerfectMan

Is this a serious question? Barring some sick sick snipe build, i doubt Bisu will drop this.

(Z)(Z)Hyuk < Outsider > (Z)(Z)Jaedong

huh..how great would it be if Hyuk sniped Jaedong. The world would implode. but it wont happen so onto game 3.

(T)(T)Canata
< Destination > (P)(P)BackHo

Remember the last time these two met? 2 words. Fail Face.

(Z)(Z)Thezerg
< God's Garden > (Z)(Z)Killer

This again? Look @ Hyuk and Thezerg in day1

(T)(T)fantasy
< Neo Harmony > (T)(T)HiyA

S class vs could have been S class. Fantasy just stomped Canata who'm i believe could destroy Hiya.

(P)(P)BeSt

Lomo sucks at everything BUT TvZ. And he sucks at that too.

I don't care if OZ looses every match as long as Perfectman snipes Bisu. I will get on my knees and cry.

The ZvZ's feature horrible players and it's such a volatile match up so they're near impossible to pick. On the balance of games though, I'd say SKT1 have the advantage and could well take it 2-0 and save themselves from the super ace.

Perfectman is not going to snipe Bisu... the only way Bisu loses the match is if he tries some dumb fuck all-in like 4 gate goon or DT rush and perfect man plays straight up and slightly defensive.

That said if it goes to Super Ace I'd have to pick Oz... Jaedong is just a fucking monster in that type of pressure situation.

What I foresee... or better known as, what will not actually happen:

Day 1
(T)fantasy < Outsider > (Z)[b]Jaedong[/b]
(T)[b]Canata[/b] < Shades of Twilight > (T)Lomo
(Z)[b]Hyuk[/b] < Neo Medusa > (Z)ggaemo
(P)BeSt < Colosseum II > (P)[b]BackHo[/b]
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)[b]Killer[/b]
(P)[b]Bisu[/b] < Heartbreak Ridge > (T)HiyA
(T)[b]fantasy[/b] < Neo Harmony > (Z)Jaedong

Day 2
(P)[b]Bisu[/b] < Heartbreak Ridge > PerfectMan (but I'm rooting for PerfectMan, of course)
(Z)[b]Hyuk[/b] < Outsider > (Z)Jaedong (Hyuked!)
(T)Canata < Destination > (P)[b]BackHo[/b]
(Z)Thezerg < God's Garden > (Z)[b]Killer[/b]
(T)[b]fantasy[/b] < Neo Harmony > (T)HiyA
(P)BeSt < Shades of Twilight > (T)[b]Lomo[/b]
(P)Bisu < Neo Medusa > (Z)[b]Jaedong[/b]

Super Ace
(T)fantasy < Destination > (Z)[b]Jaedong[/b]

I hope most of my picks are wrong.

EDIT: Whoa, obviously I should have bolded after TLPD-izing.

What's up with Oz putting crappy players against SKT zergs? We all know Oz players except Jaedong don't have a chance against the better SKT players so shouldn't they try to snipe off 2 zergs + one from jaedong into ace? The chances of victory look kinda slim for Oz :l

This has a potential to be a complete roflstomping of Oz. On the other hand, Jaedong (with some random help of chumps on his team like vs CJ) can make the final very painful to watch for SKT fans.

Imo this all depends on whether backho plays like backho or failho.

I really want to see a Jaedong Bisu ace match though.

-sigh- look @ ggaemo vs Hyuk


Don't lump Killer and ggaemo together. Killer has proven himself; he took a game off of Movie. His play in the Minor League has been pretty good, particularly his ZvZ. Whereas Thezerg's ZvZ is somewhere between atrocious and non-existent.

Do not be suprised if Killer 2-0's Thezerg.

Also, don't count ggaemo out either. He took a game from Great in the Winner's League, and his ZvZ is pretty good. He's lost to Hyuk, but that was two years ago; they say revenge rides a slow horse

What's up with Oz putting crappy players against SKT zergs?


You say that as though they looked at SK's lineups and picked people to go against them. That's not how it works. Each side picks their players for each map secretly.
So you know, cats are interesting. They are kind of like girls. If they come up and talk to you, it's great. But if you try to talk to them, it doesn't always go so well. - Shigeru Miyamoto

The way I see it, all Oz need to do is take day one and then JD in the superace is an instant favorite. Both Fantasy and Bisu are a lock to win versus anyone not called Jaedong, so JD taking one of them out is all but a must if Oz need to win the day. Two wins out of the next five, and JD in an ace match means almost a lock for super-ace. Then they'll do like last round - throw away the four games so the fifth player who happens to be the one playing in the super-ace won't have a warm-up match.

Same game-plan that worked so well against Samsung. Have to hand it to coach Cho for that.

*whew* had to get that off my chest. I actually registered for the site after ages (and ages) of lurking to write it down.

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNlol.

Considering Hiya is the Oz's Fantasy (2nd best) this is a pretty good lineup he just got dicked playing against the (way better) best pros around... i just hope for some good games....

which is obviously going to happen BACKHO FTW. also hoping for a lomo win, and a PERFECT(MAN) VICTORY.

i could see this being a lot closer than it appeared to me at first glance, which was skt dominating. good luck Oz!!!

Canata is going to destroy Lomo in TvT, and especially BackHo since that last match between them.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.
