Predictions: + Show Spoiler + 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 .
MBCGame HERO 1
< 3 Woongjin Stars
Cmon stars break the losing streak!
"Don't be distracted by the what if's, should'ves, and if onlys. The one thing you choose yourself - THAT is the truth of your universe." Fav T: Sea, Leta, Really Fav P: Free, Snow Fav Z: ZerO, GGplay, Jaedong, Neo.G_Soulkey
Woongjin will likely take this, but I hope we see MBC putting up a good fight.

MBC will probably lose. Going to ace match against Ace to break a losing streak isn't exactly a reason for confidence.

Dts out for guemchi. Rofl he's getting walled in. Anyone remember when FBH did that and lost?
4 high templar for Guemchi. He's still dead as shit though, lol.
Storms kill 2 tanks. Ok now the wall is down. Now going back up. Uhhh yeah, Guemchi still dead.
Guemchi trying to take the island but Light knows since there's a freaken ebay floating above it.
at least guemchi is still mining ==
Nexus has 74 health...

Bye bye Soulkey. You have no clue whats about to rape you lol.
Sunken going up waay too late. Pretty unlucky.
Spire is almost done but it shouldn't matter is Hyun microes properly.
...... which he doesn't do LOL
lol hero sunken saves the day
soulkey hyun ought to win this one
Hyun learn2micro plz. That should have been a free win since Soulkey didn't scout shit.
Soulkey expanding now. Hyun is making mostly drones and getting his lair.
Spier going up for Hyun, He probably has more drones than Soulkey. More gas too. He can still win this easilt as long as he survives allin bs.
hyun with a drone at his minonly???
why would you expand to your minonly in zvz?????????
Hyun goes for some drone snipe with zerglings while the mutas are gone.
Soulkey has this game, well played, now Hyun is contained with a smaller muta count and soulkey can drone up while taking other gas bases.

spores in zvz is the worst.

this zvz went from fail to win
Soulkey gets his 3rd now...
Muta devourer rapes pure muta so bad. Those acid spores are sick at making the left over muta hits so much stronger, lets not forget the slow effect.
Wow, Devourers make a huuge difference. That was pretty cool. Hyun still lost the battle though.
hyun ling counters which saves his ass but a sunken stops it from doing too much damage
Devouver are chubby.

How is Soulkey still in this? he's barely got any drones.
Devourers are so sick ZvZ. It's refreshing to see a ZvZ reach hive tech once in a while.
GG Devourers are pretty cool.
great way to throw off a game soul key...
well, turned out to be an interesting game given that hyun might have won with just lings
p: stats, horang2, free, jangbi z: soulkey, zero, shine, hydra t: leta, hiya, sea
Geezus... Why didn't he take over initiative when Hyun has taken the deeply defensive position and over invested in static defence?
Yeah GG!
No one had the time to see the ceremony before it ended.

Stork vs Bisu is the most memorable though!!
Peace with a BO advantage. Hope we don't get 3:0-ed
Peace has the eco lead with the BO.

drone look like it mining but it is not rofl
Peace trying to be sexy loses a muta.
Peace is not microing very well this game...
did peace just shoot his own hatchery?
haha
LOL wtf peace. pretends to save the ovie but just lets it die instead.
Cute Muta vs Muta to kill ovie battle. Zero snipes the ovie.
Peace is bad. He couldve crushed Zero's mutas there by chasing them down after Zero missed a fire there once.

How the hell did zero lose that.
not looking good for zero
Peace has this game, Zero made way too many useless scourge, and Peace's muta groups is much larger now
zero's zvz is far from his peak
peace with carapace advantage
LOL Peace eats a faceful of scourge.
Boggling at how zero managed to lose this...
Gone are the days where Zero with mutas = gg...
ggeeeeeee
Peace eats half of the scourge and still comes ahead because his muta group is alot larger.
zero ggs, coach ha jumps from his seat and claps
zero gg's
Oh dang the coach is hella happy. Jumps up from his seat. 3-0. GG
what are those annoying noises???
Another ZvZ lost by Zero.. :\

MBC just got the 99 curse
In the battle of the fail teams of R4 MBC clearly comes out as the victor.
How come Zero sucks so badly at ZvZ?
I guess the +1 carapace really saved Peace.
