[SPL] Hwaseung OZ vs eSTRO

Hwaseung OZ

Hwaseung OZ is infamous for being a one-man team. And that one man is Lee Jae Dong he has been carrying his team for seasons now, and it finally seems as if some of his teammates will begin to step up and actually earn their spot on the front line. As such, I don't really like to talk about Jaedong in these predictions, because everyone knows what he is doing. He is pretty much under a thing I like to call "The Dong Average", but he is still way above the average player. Although a spark of his legendary JvZ has begun to manifest again. He is definitely on an upward rise. However, the real aspect of Hwaseung OZ, in my opinion, that is turning them into a stronger team, is HiyA and others stepping up their game. HiyA is playing good Starcraft at the moment, expect strong things from him. What Hwaseung OZ really needs though is a strong, dependable third player. And the question is will it be Killer or Lomo who will round off the main roster of Hwaseung OZ? All in all, Hwaseung OZ is a lot stronger as a team than they were a couple of weeks ago, in my opinion.

eSTRO

eSTRO is a wild-card team, in my opinion. A while ago I thought Really would challenge Sea as the strong, overshadowed Terran. But my opinion of that has changed greatly. Really has fallen from that spot in my opinion. While he is still good, I don't believe he is at the level of other S-Class players that I once compared him to. However, his Terran partner Classic seems to be tearing things up. And I expect things to continue in that fashion. Classic seems like a well-rounded player. Action is another one of those players who I can't put a finger on. It surprises me when he loses, and it surprises me when he wins. Which makes him pretty fun to watch. All in all, anything can happen when you are playing eSTRO, which doesn't necessarily make them a strong team. But a team to be wary of.

Lomo < Polaris Rhapsody > Flying

eSTRO sends out their only active Protoss, Flying, in an attempt to snipe the game from HiyA, I think OZ counters this by sending out not HiyA, but Lomo.

Jaedong < Match Point > Really

The two titans of each team fight in the match of the night. Expect doom drops, bunker rushes! Anything is possible! I think Match Point is a well-rounded map that the strongest player usually wins on, so I expect Jaedong to played here. I actually don't expect Really to be sent out... I just hope he does.

Killer < Judgment Day > Action

OZ is saving HiyA for Roadrunner and eSTRO is saving Classic. Thus they both send out their only other options.

HiyA < Roadrunner > Classic

Two strong Terran players duke it out on this map that I don't really like! Hopefully they will show me that TvT isn't always boring! (Yeah I still sorta believe that!)
