Wut? Sorry wut? I don't think any one legitimately hate SKT, whenever there's a comment that puts SKT in a bad light it's because the poster wants <x> team to win instead. You can however find hundreds of unjustified KT hate on every thread that involves KT regardless of rather KT / flash wins or loses, what manner they won / lost the game in, and what team they were playing against. Hating on any team for their performance is stupid, the only reasons why I would hate a professional organization is if they are unprofessional or display unlawful / immoral behaviour. SKT have been one of the pillars of BW, what I don't understand is SKT1 fans saying that they "deserve more wins" by logic of not having enough even though they have by far more team league wins than any other progaming team.

In any case, remember that SKT's forte has always been preparation in their matches *points to Fantasy*. SKT has solid players that are really good at prepared match-ups, but are vulnerable because their on-the-fly play is weaker than a team like CJ or Khan. Had KT not had the time to rest given by the forced rescheduling, they would have been less prepared than they were, and that's an intangible factor we have no idea of how it influenced the series. TL;DR SKT has a preparation advantage right now versus whoever they'll face in the Finals, barring another delay in it being held.
Or SKT got beat fair and square and it's stupid trying to justify it. KT beat a lot of good teams on their way to beating SKT and saying "Well you just got lucky!" is insulting to them and everyone they beat.
A "coinflip" ZvZ clearly makes no difference in preparation, the way you're phrasing it, and that means you expected Stats to lose with only, what was it, a week and a half of preparation? Same goes to Flash vs Best. I think you're just repeating what Oov said as an excuse for why the team lost instead of crediting why KT won.

Did you watch Hoejja vs s2? There was nothing coinflip about it, both builds were uncommon, hoejja went hatchery at the third first and s2 went 9 extractor 10 overlord 10 pool into in-base hatch. SKT's strategy preparation is alot better than many other teams for sure, fantasy is extremely hard working at preparing but is actually a counter example of this though, he plays very well on the fly and pulls off alot of recoveries from unfavorable positions on the fly. Bisu / Best have traditionally play much more safely according to builds that are well established by their play style and it's always surprising if they do anything different. Best is alot more adaptive this season and it shows in the varying results he's been getting (perfect record against top zergs, loses in PvT). I think when you say good at prepared match-ups you mean being predictable though and I don't think that has to be the case. Being prepared means knowing how to react on the fly as well to likely possible scenarios, being predictable will lose you games.
Edit: now that i think about it, Best losing PvT's this season may be the result of him being predictable in PvT. I will have to check vods.

There's a reason why SKT has earned the title of being "The Empire of the ProLeague". It makes for an easy target of hate simply because people like going for the underdog. Making it to 3 finals in a row dispite the previous 2 being silver medals is quite an achievement and they did win the WinnersLeague tournament last time.

Don't think KT coach will send Flash against P. 100 percent he tries to avoid a toss for Flash. Probably we will see CH and Action playing Stork and Jangbi.

That would be so cool. But I think a Hydra bust is more likely

At least we know when exactly brave is going to play, lol.

I'm hoping to see a JangBi vs Flash match

Flash vs Stork or Jangbi would make me very happy. Also, Flash coming out on Neo Outlier despite how shitty it is for Terran.

I am intrigued though, because there's been almost no games on outlier (1 on outlier, 0 on neo) that have been TvP, the only one that did happen on outlier was a cheese by the toss any ways. It's definitely terrible TvZ, but what are the chances of January sending Shine or Roro on ace?

Or so you think
Brave has been secretly practising his PvT and has been preparing for the moment where he snipes Flash
his strategy is already so perfect that January could not risk sending him out vs a T in his last 20342034 games just so Flash doesn't see this one coming
Brave has just been waiting a long time for this...
