And they've been to many (and 4 in a row before MBC won 2006 round 2). :> But yeah, MBC's the team to beat these days. They're definitely the favorites considering their current shape. We could have some great great matchups anyway considering the players. Please please please not too many mirrors. :o but boxer isn't captaining them this time  then again considering you only need 4 1v1 players... two of T1's terrans + gorush + kingdom isn't that bad i wouldn't find it boring at all if SKT1 wins but the absence of boxer pushes me towards MBC i think | ||

So far SKT1's BoxeR/Oov/Midas terran lineup was unmatchable by any other team. But MBC's Sea/Light lineup can almost match T1's slightly weaker Oov/Midas/Canata line. Meanwhile MBC's Z lineup is slightly better than T1's... July's been on fire. GoRush has been doing good too, but July's recent ownage is beyond him. As for P, well MBC definately has the lead. The Bisu/PuSan combo is far more effective than Kingdom/Rainbow as of late. The real question is which team has the better 2v2 down. MBC's 14nexus strategy was apparently so unstoppable they decided to save it for the finals (according to the talk-show thing I saw yesterday). Then there's STK1's reputation to remember. 4 Finals in a row, 4 wins. That's pretty damn amazing. All in all, I'd say MBC is a little better by about 6 to 4. | ||

As long as Rainbow wins in a sufficiently reaverish way I am happy. | ||

For what they have achieved so far, It would be such a shame for MBC themselves if they lose this one. Btw too much of snow here ... schools closed...Hooray~! | ||

Midas is almost a sure win for T1. Oov isn't quite playing like his old self yet, but in a match such as this, I would also put him above every MBC player. Things like experience and nerves play a big role here. The MBC Protosses are probably favoured against Canata, but that can go either way, July might be favoured as well, but don't forget Canata beat July in game 6 of the round 1 finals. I also like his TvT better than both Light's and Sea's. Gorush is no slouch either and Kingdom is able to play amazing games. As always, this will greatly depend on the matchups, but I see T1 as slightly favoured. To those sure that MBC will win, answer me: What are MBC's answers to Midas and Oov? Who from MBC is favoured against Gorush? | ||

SKT will proabbly play a terran on longinus MBC will send bisu/pusan on longinus There will be strats that you've never seen before/in a long time There will be crazy moves pulled out from nowhere There will be snipers left right and center MBC's answers to Midas and OOv? Pusan (if his form keeps up), July (if his streak keeps up), Bisu (if he stops sucking) + shark/junitoss as snipers SKT will struggle methinks, 6 games is alot.. Terran iloveoov (1v1) Midas (1v1) Canata (2v2, 1v1) In_Dove Zerg GoRush (1v1) Rumble (2v2) Spirit-AnomiA- LaKe[Name] (2v2) Protoss Kingdom (Captain) (1v1) IntoTheRainbow (2v2) BeSt[HyO] NsP_MuJuK yea.. thats about all i can think for skt... MBC have depth to their advantage and as we've seen, depth translates to wins in bo7 PL.. canata/rumble will most likely be used as a 2v2, and the other 2v2 will probably have rainbow (iron curtain).. the 2nd team will be weaker imo. MBC have bisu/saint as a good pz combo without any fancy strats, likewise is 910/Thezerg.. SKT's once formidable terran lineup is a joke imo.. oov who is a shadow of his former self, canata who has stage fright, in_dove with no experiance... and midas, one badass teddybear... their zerg and protoss lineups are a joke as well... rainbow who is slumping like mad, and kingdom who is slumping (after a good run)... whereas MBC have pusan & bisu.. SKT's policy of limiting players to one league aint gunna *really* help them here... Pusan is free from both individual leagues Light/Bisu/Sea are free from one league if not two and july can be compared to midas.. MBC is definatly the safebet... as the 06 seasons (although in 07 now) seem to be curse breakers (legend of the fall, winners curse (so far), savior finally making OSL etc) so just because SKT have won all the finals theyve been in, it doesnt mean anything on the day IMO this is clear choice, MBC If CJ has beaten MBC- i wouldve voted to CJ to beat SKT- they really have lost their way MBC fighting Park Ji-Ho fighting | ||

So, SKT1 can put money on oov/midas, sure. But canata/rainbow/kingdom/gorush must play like they can and have in the past. I really want to see a repeat of rainbow/goodfriend - favorite pvt of all time. Except for MAYBE game 4 reach/boxer and game 1 reach/oov... but eh. They don't have enough consistent players, so they have to win early with those they think they can count on. MBC just has to pull through. None of their players is a nada or a savior, but they've got six solid players who can beat anyone on a good day. light/bisu/pusan/sea/july/saint is just a scary lineup. Almost as scary as KTF's yellow/reach/ra/goodfriend/chojja/themarine when they were in form. They'll be fine with going out to game six and then they can put in their sixth ace and SKT1 will have nobody left to use. The old format was good for SKT1 because they could put in one guy and have him last for a long time. The new format benefits teams like MBC who don't have one ultimate fighter but have many good ones. I put my money on MBC, but my heart's with SKT1. | ||

Who from MBC is favoured against Gorush? July Pusan and Sea are capable of beating Midas and Oov. Midas is a clear favourite and oov is about even. July Sea Bisu and Light would be favourites over GoRush, but only in Sea's case is it a big advantage. Any of MBC's 1v1 players are a favourite over Kingdom (and it pains me to say that). Canata can beat anyone at any time, but he has to perform like a clutch player. If he doesn't anyone on MBC can beat him. T1 will probably save him for Ace. The thing here is that MBC will most likely dominate the 2v2. Saint is too good at teamplay, you can stick anyone with him and they'll probably win. As well, 910[Ete] and TheZerg have been unstoppable lately. That means that if one of the giants fall (Midas Oov Canata), MBC pretty much has this in the bag. They need a flawless performance from those three, and their chance of having GoRush put up a win against an MBC top player is higher than their chance of winning a 2v2. It's going to be a close match, and even given T1's strong Terran lineup I'm going to give the edge to MBC. These are my two favourite teams by a large margin why can't we all get along | ||

T1 has a tendency to make goofy fucking choices that I can't explain, like kOs in the ace match against Hanbit so many finals ago. Granted he barely beat Silent_Control but fucking kOs? There is always a chance that coach Ju Hoon will do something crazy like sending out In_Dove or Best[hyO], because he thinks he has something up his sleeve. If he wants to win this final he needs it to go to Ace, and given MBC's terrifying 2v2 that means he needs a nearly flawless performance from his 1v1 lineup. "Flawless" as in "an unprobable but believeable result". | ||
