You have to write it as  BeSt (S capitalized) or BeSt[WHITE] (clan tag).
Predictions!
Set 1:  Fantasy <Empire of the Sun> Flash
EotS has been a pretty Terran map through its first two incarnations, and I honestly don't see that changing just because KeSPA played with some minerals. Or gas. Whichever. So: fantasy. SKT can throw aces at anybody until they just win. KT's got it rougher: they could send Flash, but if he loses here they're screwed. On the other hand, CB and Fortress are also Terran-y maps, and a win for Flash gives them a good chance to run off a 4-0 win. But I think fantasy has the better TvT right now (heresy, I know).
Set 2: Fantasy <Circuit Breaker>  Action
Despite the large number of TvTs on the map, CB is also good for Zerg. KT has to think - even though I don't - that Action is their best Z, so this should be fairly straightforward. Can't rule out HoeJJa or YellOw completely, especially because Action's got that starleague thing going on.
Set 3: Bisu <Fortress> Action
SKT should have kept Canata around on the A team for situations like this. Instead, they'll send Bisu, and despite Fortress being a wonky map for PvZ, he'll do just fine.
Set 4: Bisu <Aztec> Stats
If you're KT at this point, you're in trouble. (This is why they may not play Flash in the first set.) Stats is really your only option here, unless you send YellOw to be awesome, and Stats has a better chance of winning. But not enough of one.
Set 5: Bisu <Benzene> BarrackS
Benzene is not kind to Protoss. But feeding a Zerg to Bisu is not smart: BarrackS definitely has some potential, and it may be cheesy but he'll take a win and hold the fort. Barely.
Set 6: Kwanro <La Mancha> BarrackS
Or really any SKT Zerg. But Kwanro's the one who's actually good: this way you don't risk looking stupid by getting 3-killed by BarrackS. And if Kwanro somehow loses, you've still got BeSt, Sun, Paralyze, and (please no) soO - any of whom might come out here as well and probably also win.
SKT 4:2 KT
Set 7: <Icarus>

Sorry

Kwanro was one of the only zergs I really liked (along with zero and yellow,) Then he came to SKT, and I was so excited for the kwanroooolllllage. It hasn’t happened yet, but winners league will usher in Kwanro's greatness.

I believe I saw somewhere that he's been out with some sort of flu or something the last couple weeks, but atm I don't remember which thread this was in.

From Fomos, it seems that he got his vacation after he was eliminated from the OSL in the Round of 36 by Hydra and entered a slump after losing to Really last time SKT faced off against Woongjin Stars on Dec 8th. Rumors have been flying around that Kwanro has been missing because of internal conflict, but it seems that health issues along with recovering from his slump have been the main reasons why Kwanro was granted a vacation. But that's not the point... The whole point is...... + Show Spoiler +Kwanro is going to return in the Winners' League and is BACK! Expect KT to get KWANROLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLED on the 8th!

Quoting yourself- the awkwardness! :S

Hope he get well soon then. I believe SKT zergs will need kwanrolling phenomenon + captain hyuk's awesomeness to perform well in WL

Fantasy and Kwanro (where the fuck is Kwanro?) as backups. as much as IM sure they will want to send Fantasy or Bisu out First to try to get an all-kill, SKT should play this strategically. if they can Kill Flash then KT won't stand a chance, especially with fOrGG out which can't be overlooked. I would HOPE that YellOw and Reach will get to go out and kick some asS, but they probably haven't fully adjusted and likely aren't winning much in the practice house.
no...if they send out Best First, I'm sure they'll snipe him by sending out Action
All-kill format? KT is gonna have a hard time
Sure, they have Flash but where Flash can all-kill just any other teams, SKT has such a strong lineup, I don't see him all-killing Fantasy, Best, Bisu

What's up with all the debates
Hyuk all kill of course. Duh!

Going to be amazing. Great OP!

I thought it has started already! Was in a panic there for a moment.

I'm just worried that Bisu having SWL and MSL (last shot) on the same day may be a little tough :/

The other eight still have to play. Bisu isn't up again until the 13th (b'.')b

Oh good good misread the schedule, cheers for that.

I think Flash will come out at 1 or 5. It's risky to save him for game 5, since SKT is stacked with talent, but I think they would like to avoid Flash vs Best/Bisu on game 4 Aztec at all cost. However, I think the KT coach trusts Action and Chintoss being able to finish off a 3-1 lead, especially with most of the SKT talent already out. So, I think Flash is a given on game 1. The only way that KT will be able to win this is if Flash can draw out the three SKT aces, which is another reason to send him first.
Flash > Ssak
Flash > Bisu
Flash > Fantasy
Flash < BeSt
Action > BeSt
KT wins 4-1.
|
Basing on following logic:
- Neither team is going to send out their aces for very first game.
- Stats's stats and map stats favor Stats over Ssak.
- Hyuk will play normal, boring ZvP and win.
- KT will try to snipe Hyuk without sending Flash. And fail.
- Flash comes out, warms up by making a revenge, then finishes it.
