I hope both players to show us improved and better play agains T and Z cuz i don't like how fantazy played vs Huyk, and i know how hydra play vs terran and i am not impressed so.. i hope for really good games i want some out of order play... good play action game.. maybe some cheese or very long games and very close games.
i really hope that Hydra do not go for ultra in late game... specialy on small maps please thats mistake agains mass tanks

Hydra's ZvT is good. He's just a lot like Soulkey in this match-up (read: can't do shit against Flash X_X).

Man, I want this to be a repeat of last season's Fantasy vs Calm, if only to have Kwark do more of his raging.

Link for those who missed it: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=186373

Seriously though. Hydra has Calm's tactical skills and a hell of a lot better mechanics. And fantasy's the type of player who's quite reliant on cutting corners, macro-cheese if you will. And I think hydra's the type of player who can punish him.

Don't really care either way. I just want Jangbi to make the finals. If Jangbi can beat soo, then he has a good shot against hydra. And Jangbi has much better control than Stork, so he should be able to deal with Fantasy's harass as well as any toss can. So assuming Jangbi actually can get to the finals, I think either matchup works.

Cheering for fantasy. Although, I don't mind hydra winning either.

Just hope it won't become a zvz finals.

I want hydra to win, but I am thinking Fantasy will win 3-1. To be honest a fantasy / jangbi finals sets up a really good mood(Revenge for stork or Fantasy will be the KHAN toss slayer), but I don't think Jangbi can beat Hydra ( I do however feel Jangbi will beat soo 3-1 or 3-2)

lol baubo thanks for that link, had a good laugh reading that write-up again. I think Fantasy will make it through here - I'm not underestimating Hydra, but for some odd reason I think Fantasy's odd timings and unexplainable actions in TvZ will throw Hydra off and somehow Fantasy will end up taking this 3-1.

I'm a big fan of both of these players AND jangbi, so I'm just hoping for a good set of games. =)

Even though Fantasy won an OSL, that just makes him a little less terrible.

With pathfinder in the map pool Hydra is going to have to win 3 out of 4 to make the finals.

Fantasy has a 57.25% winrate against Zerg. --- Hydra (only) has a 54.76% winrate against Terran.

Their previous record is 2 - 1 - in favor of Fantasy.

On all of the maps that will be played, Terran has a positive winrate against Zerg.

21 - 17

26 - 22

62 - 57

13 - 4

Fantasy has a combined 19 - 2 record on these exact maps, and 10 - 1 exclusively against Zerg.

I am pre-heating my grill already for some Zerg BBQ.
