[SPL] SK Telecom T1 vs Samsung KHAN - Page 2

Samsung KHAN is looking good, fresh off a win from the lesser of the KTs. They’re now on a 2-win streak, with their 2nd generation players looking strong. JangBi is the only player who isn’t playing as well as he should, but that’s readily canceled out by Grape and Brave both ready to fill the spot on the roster. Stork has looked really good, even in his loss to Flash, it was close enough to look terrifying. If he meets anyone other than the SKT protoss duo I’m going to have to favor the commander. The KHAN terrans aren’t looking too shabby either, with TurN and Reality losing games to better players (or in TurN’s case not at all), if they meet Hyuk/Canata/soO I’d give them 50% chance AT WORST. Sharp is the only KHAN terran I don’t think has a shot. The KHAN zergs, on the other hand… great has been dropping games to players I’d put on the same level as him, which isn’t encouraging. Chavi and Juni are just terrible (I HATE YOU JUNI FOR STEALING MY 4K POST T_T). All in all, KHAN is looking like a mid-tier team again.

SK Telecom T1, on the other hand, is on a 4-win streak and looks nothing like a mid-tier team. The toss duo is neigh invincible, and with a zerg line 4 players deep and not totally horrible the worst that could happen in my eyes would be an ACE match, where Kim Taek Yong would be able to play on the map with his name. Last time that happened HyuN was demolished by the sheer terror that is Kim Taek Yong. Bisu is a definite favorite against anyone in the KHAN line with the exception of Stork. The other half of the duo, our Monster Toss BeSt, has almost nothing to worry about, since the KHAN zergs are now suffering a period of mediocrity. He would be a clear favorite above anyone but Stork or possibly great. Fantasy, the 3rd big name in SKT, has sadly entered a JangBi-esque slump. Oh well. We don’t actually need him to demolish KHAN. Nor do we really need Canata. But even if either of them ends up playing, they have a VERY good shot at taking down any of January’s players, with the obvious exception of Stork. I’m very confident in all of s2’s matchups, soO’s ZvT, and Kwanro to do what he does best. So unless Kwanro decides to go hive for some inexplicable reason, SKT should take this before it even reaches ACE. Oh well, let’s hope for some Taek-Byung Rok anyways
