I'm hoping for Hydra to win.
I don't really like both players but I just find Fantasy such a boring player.
His style is too ... studied. Everything he does is all automized and he can't have a stroke of brilliance during games.
That's why most of his games are either a success, or a giant failure.
That's what you could love about him, I guess, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Say what you want about Fantasy's TvZ, but he plays big when he has to.

okay well, Hydra can probably just 4 pool on lolfinder, to make it a coinflip.

You can make a ling proof wall on it with a rax and a supply. Having seen Fantasy vs Calm on it I don't think it's a good idea. Maybe some mass mutaling all in or something...
God damn map statistics, fuck. Hydra you have to pull through man.

Cheering for Hydra. Though in all honesty, I'm just concerned whether Jangbi will make it out of his semifinal first. The potential of a Hydra v. Soo final is...well...not exciting.

I like both players but I'll be rooting for Hydra in this one. Maps are favored towards Fantasy but Hydra has pretty good ZvT as long as he puts his (T)

Mind to it.

Fantasy in the final will get us many more fans than hydra in the final.
Let's also hope that Jangbi win his match too, since Jangbi vs Fantasy is very good for viewers compared to to Soo vs Hydra (ZvZ) or a Soo vs Fantasy teamkill match.

at the same time Hydra vs Jangbi can be the next weird GGplay vs Iris...

After the group lottery, I predicted Fantasy would win. Right now he looks like the heavy favorite, although I hope Jangbi wins. That would just be epic considering his huge slump. If Hydra wins this game, he wins everything though.

Hydra vs. Jangbi finals please! I feel it can be the best finals (Jangbi IMHO won't have many chances vs. Fantasy, because his TvP is perfect and, unlike Flash, it is extremely aggressive).

I can never tell if Fantasy can win or not, he pulls through against a hard match but has a tendency to fail in won games. I expect this to be a roller coaster 3-2 slugfest.

Fantasy is excellent in Bo5's. He's only ever lost to top-class players, like Flash (2-3), Jaedong (2-3, 1-3), and Stork (2-3), all of them at their respective peaks. In all of those series he put up a good fight. Every other time he's won, and don't forget his complete shut-outs of Bisu and Stork (3-0, 3-0). Fantasy is an OSL monster, he always comes prepared with devastating builds and strong follow-ups.

Hydra is really good too but I don't think he will outshine Fantasy in this arena. Fantasy 3-1.

I really feel like Hydra's the underdog in this one, especially since he's going up against the current defending champion, but...
I gotta put my faith in Hydra. His rise to prominence so quickly after Effort left has been great to watch, and eclipsing Effort's title count (assuming he makes it past Fantasy and beats Jangbi or soo) so quickly would just be so great.
The map stats are against him, but I'm rooting for Hydra, 3-2.

Any result is fine as long as Fantasy wins.

Lol Hydra vs. Soo final. Do not want LOL.

I hope Jangbi wins his semi, it's a lot more crucial for view rate than this semifinal's result (because both these players are entertaining to watch)
