Game 1: fOrGG's nickname was the TimeAttacker because of his sense of timing. After his MSL win everyone expected him to be JD's second in command(along with a promising Lomo and an awkward BackHo), but he never got there, and now he is just a good terran in the shadow of Flash. On the other hand we have SangHo who was once called the one destined to become a real ace for eSTRo over the always ok/so-so Really. Both have failed to become what they were expected to, but I still have some faith in SangHo, so I will give him the edge.
Game 2: The once formidable ZvT Lux struggled really bad last season(not only ZvT but in all matchups), with no trace of the zerg who kicked Flash out of OSL when he was the real ultimate weapon and seemed invincible. UpMagic once seemed really washed up, but he made a sort of comeback last PL season, and he is still one of the most creative and fun players to watch. Luxury is still on time to become feared again, while UpMagic seems to be making one last effort before fading(into ACE we hope). Unless Lux has gone thru a drastic change this offseason, I'm giving this one to UpMagic.
Game 3: Really is so plain, so standard, so boring, that I don't see how he could win this unless Flash goes 14cc and suddenly Really decides to go BBS.
Game 4: Violet was a pleasant surprise for KT after the Lucifer fiasco, and in fact, he seems like he won't fade away like "Peul(플)" Yong Ho did. Last PL he did fairly well against Z, and I'm sure the KT staff has lots of hopes in him to share the weight of the team with Flash. hyvaa is still the go-to zerg in eSTRO, which speaks poorly of their roster, and he did crash a little against P last PL, especially in the end. In his defense, he faced some tough P's in the way. Still, Violet should win this.
(ACE): In KT, Flash should always the ace, but like we have seen last season, KT coaching staff seems to experiment sending Lux or even fOrGG. Honestly, KT has some of the worst ace picking in the league. Anyways, I hope they send Flash for fan's sake, and they end this quickly.

Matchpoint is like over 90.00% T>P so I definitely expect FrogG to win. And Luxury. Rest I agree with. 5-0.
