The Red Shuttle against The Destroyer of Worlds
There are three certainties in life; Death, Taxes, and Kal being unable to defeat top-line zergs when it matters. Kal is 3-13 against Jaedong in his career, and the fact that he's slumping dreadfully doesn't give him much hope. Both players have not played on tv in two weeks, which means that both have had a time to relax from the pressures of the regular season, but that shouldn't change much. The map is Fighting Spirit.
Live Report OP's prediction: Jaedong
flamewheel's MSL newspost prediction: Jaedong

The Mighty Mollusk against The Chintoss
Calm against Stats is one of the most interesting match-ups, and hopefully that'll translate into one of the more exciting series. Calm, like his teammate Kal, has been in a slump, but his recent interview shows him to be in a better frame of mind. Meanwhile, Stats is KT's new protoss prodigy, and he (and his chin) have been playing some strong starcraft as of late. Stats and Calm are both strong in all match-ups, but Calm's ZvP is his best, and Stat's PvZ is his worst, statistically. The map for this match is Polaris Rhapsody, which represents the golden hope of protoss this season. I'd call Stats a marginal favorite, but a rested and relaxed Calm should put up a strong fight, and I'll pick the upset.
Live Report OP's prediction: Calm

The Pretender against The Great Spamdini
I don't think that anyone was expecting hero to emerge first from a group with two strong terrans, and a former MSL runner-up (I know right, that was a long time ago). Arguably, however, he faces an even tougher task here in taking a game off of forGG. KT's second terran excels in this match-up, and his powerful timing attacks are renowned for a reason. hero's best hope here lies in is his often excellent mechanics, and the little bit of luck that Polaris Rhapsody can sometimes provide. I think forGG's got this, but it's far from inconceivable that hero could win.

The Ultimate Weapon against Violet[Name] the Un-Nicknamed
Hell, I have no idea what to call Violet. He's the epitome of a player who flies under the radar. He's .500 or above in all of his match-ups, and has devastating PvP, but he's always at risk from being dropped from KT's regular PL line-up, and chokes in individual leagues as frequently as sKyHigh. But he did extremely well to get here, and it's a shame that he has to meet his teammate and (oh, haven't you heard?) the best player in the world. There's often something funny about teamkills, but something tells me that won't happen to Flash. He's too strong, he's too smart, and he's too solid mentally to be rattled here. The map is Polaris Rhapsody, which gives Violet a chance (Flash has played only one TvP on this map, beating Kal) but not a big one.
