I think in a straightup Bo5, Hydra takes out Fantasy.

But I think that the split format (game 1 played one day, games 2-5 played the next week) favors Fantasy, who's really good at preparing.

Does anyone know which it is?

omg lol all i'm saying is that it's dumb to count Jangbi out of a Bo5 against soO just because he lost to luxury in the msl finals i never said luxury was good at zvp in fact i said i recall jangbi being pretty bad at PvZ

i wouldn't bet money on jangbi but saying there is a 90% chance or whatever of him losing is ridiculous

reading your posts that lack any punctuation is like hearing "hey this is combat-ex with another fpvod" it's like there's no pauses or anything and its just all in one breath or something and makes the whole post sound kind of dumb

That is not entirely true, Fantasy's unique TvZ is nothing to scoff at. It is entirely plausible for any zerg to succumb to his "gay" builds. However Hydra is not a good opponent for him in this sense as he is good with low eco games and has strong mutalisk control. On the flip side Fantasy is an S class terran and his standard play might be enough to overpower Hydra's not entirely outstanding ZvT. Imho this match will be decided by strategies and preparation and is something to look forward to indeed.

Straight bo5, the split bo5 is an MSL thing in the ro8.

How can people still underestimate Fantasy this much? He performs exceptionally well in the OSL more often than not. He is not a Proleague-monster like Bisu or Flash, but he is S-class and has been for a long time, and there are not too many players which fall into this category. One gold, two silvers and two semi-final appearances in OSLs alone. Beating Jaedong twice in the PL-grand final in 2009, and pushing Bonjwa-mode-Flash to his very limits during the probably most high-level TvT-series of all time in one MSL-semis last year. This guy is the real deal, just the fact that he cannot control bio properly to save his life does not change this.

Of course, TvZ is not his strong match-up, but the same has to be said about Hydra. And Fantasy's Bo5 preparation has always been exceptional. He is not the underdog here.

Wow the bonjwa of our time falls short, this is something I haven't been accustomed to in quite a while.
