[SPL] MBCGame HERO vs Woongjin Stars

MBCGame HERO

MBCGame HERO is a strong team, despite their recent results. The two pivotal points of the team, Sea and Light, have both been a little slumpish lately. But Sea's recent losses have all been to strong Protoss or Terran, which is reasonable. Light on the other hand, isn't the king of winner's league that we once idolized him for. He has fallen far, but their is still that glimmer of talent that I'm sure many hope to see a return of. MBCGame HERO, in my opinion, is a lot like Samsung KHAN. Like a Terran version of them or something. They are a very strong team that can break out of their slump at any given moment, so you can't give them an inch of room to work with. I wouldn't say they are in as deep a slump as Samsung KHAN is, but they are definitely aren't up to the same standard they have been the rest of this season. Expecting a comeback from them soon.

Woongjin Stars

Woongjin Stars is one of the monster teams of R4. Woongjin Stars has one of the most well-rounded rosters ATM, which makes them a deadly force. Their only weakness, much like STX SouL, is that they don't have a strong Terran to play. But that can be overcome with strong play from their three core members: free, ZerO, and Kwanro. But another thing that makes them deceptively strong is that they have three backups who all seem to have a good amount of talent in them. Those three players are MVP, GuemChi, and Neo.G_Soulkey. In the end, what makes Woongjin Stars scary isn't one super player, but three strong players accompanied by three strong wildcards. Which is a rare sight in these days of Starcraft.

Sea < Grand Line > GuemChi

There are so many options on this map for Woongjin Stars. They could play GuemChi, free, Kwanro, ZerO, or even Neo.G_Soulkey. All of them would be good choices. I went with GuemChi because he has two recent wins versus Terran on this map, against BaBy and HiyA. And they have to be expecting a Terran to come out here. So I don't see ZerO coming out even though he has also won two games against Terrans on this map. Albeit a bit less recent. I chose Sea to show for MBC simply because he has two wins on Grand Line, while Light has none. Although MBC could send out one of their Zergs, Saint or HyuN, I expect to see one of their Terrans, particularly Sea. The only problem is risking such a strong player to possible play that has been built particularly for sniping him. Oh well! Risk is what predictions are all about.

HyuN < Judgment Day > ZerO

A lot of ZvZ's on this map, so I expect HyuN/Saint vs. Kwanro/ZerO. That is all.

Light < Match Point > free

Game of the Night, if it doesn't go to ace match, that is. I see Light coming out here. The question is will Woongjin Stars send free or Kwanro... Hmm... I'll go with free because he has so many games played on the map. Even though a lot of them have been losses... a lot of those were to Flash so they don't count! Go free!

Han < Fighting Spirit > Kwanro

This is where Woongjin Stars extreme depth comes into play. They have stretched MBC's defenses thin, and they don't have anymore defense for this last flank. Kwanro will take this game in dominating fashion and end it before it gets to ace match. Sorry Han.
