great. We've never seen Hydra's ZvT, and his ZvP is a work in progress, but his ZvZ seems very solid, and an excellent reason to keep playing him.

Also, someone above dismissed (P)

M18M against (P)

Movie, which is a mistake I think. I'm still not convinced of Movie's proleague stability, and M18M is not a bad protoss at all. If he was on Hwaseung, we'd see him every match.

M18M has a better vT% than both Jangbi and Stork lol. Unlike Killer/GGaemo, looks like M18M does gain something from practicing with top players all the time.

Stork can probably put up a good fight but as much as I hate to say it, effort will most likely to win against Stork.

Stork v.s. Effort is definitely a must see. Stork is looking hot, but as somebody else pointed out, Effort is the ultimate ZvP specialist with 75% win rate. The Protoss that he destroyed are no rookies either. Although I do find it funny that he is 0-3 against Bisu, but 2-0 against Stork.

I saw both games they played and I do have to say that the first one was just horrible play by stork and the second was how stork just demolished effort for 20 minutes or moreand then decided to run his huge army ball into a dark swarm/ ultralisk/ sunken defense at his natural and got all his untits killed for like nothing. He had probably more than twice efforts supply, was even or ahead on bases and within one minute he still lost. And that was when he wasnt on fire. Against a clean player like Bisu those days he fell apart and today stork plays like that, too. So I think stork is still the favorite here.

Stork < EffOrt
Effort's vsP is amazing and Stork seems to be losing a bit of momentum after losing to Shine. However, it'll be a close game.

great > sKyHigh
Honestly this is probably the hardest one to predict, but I'm giving great the edge because sKyHigh is just awful and he hasn't done anything impressive vsZ as of late.

TurN > Hydra
Hydra's ZvT is untested while TurN has taken out type-b and YellOw[ArnC] as well as losing a nail-biter game to Kwanro. Like all of TurN's games, I expect this one to be quick and action-packed, but hopefully with him winning this time.

M18M < Movie
Movie has both history and experience on his side. He's already beaten M18M this season and he's also been in the proscene longer. M18M does practice with Stork and JangBi though, so I expect him to play standard and put up a good fight

Stork > Movie
This is a very tough ace to predict since both teams have a bunch of players to choose from. Despite Stork's probable loss to EffOrt I feel Khan will depend on him once again since they will be expecting EffOrt for ace and neither Jangbi, great or FBH can touch him in their current form. As for Movie, I just have a gut instinct telling me he'll be sent out. With that said Stork should easily roll over Movie and win it for Khan 3-2.

After last week, I'm pretty impressed by Hydra. I'm a person who likes to look at players starting from their mirror match abilities and Hydra definitely impressed me last time.

This is gonna be a hell of a series and even though Stork is like my favorite protoss ever, I'm first and foremost a CJ fan and I have faith that CJ will prevail 3-1 if not 3-0. Hwaiting!!!
