Mind Shuttle Ssak I don't know anything about if you'd be polite enough to fill me in.

Mind was on WeMadeFox but transferred to KT during the end of the KeSPA era. This was the guy who upset Bisu in 3 straight games during that one MSL. During the Sonic era, he had really strong TvZ (won offline tourneys quite a bit against the likes of Killer) and was one of the best TvTers. He's still a pretty decent and strong Terran if he practices and prepares hard. His TvZ doesn't seem as solid as it once was but that's likely due to stronger competition. IMO, his TvP is his worst matchup and seems to be the bane of many terrans.

Shuttle was the captain of STX during the KeSPA era and is the ASL1 champion beating even Last at the time. Even though he's fallen from that level imo, he still has a chance against sSak and whoever the winner from the first match is. He had strong PvT (I believe he still does) and PvP can really vary as well. He had a period where I recall he had strong PvZ as well during the Sonic era despite wanting to exterminate all zergs lol (his kespa era vZ record is pretty bad from what I remember). Keep in mind that this was the guy who was given a special nickname for his ability to perform when money was on the line (sponmatches).

Finally, sSak is kind of an anomaly lol. He was on SKT T1 during the KeSPA era. When this guy came back during the Sonic era, he actually won SSL10 against Last who was a TvT monster at the time. He's someone who should not be underestimated at all. Take a look at the last ASL. The guy beat Last, Jaedong and a slew of other really strong players before he took Bisu to a deciding game 5 on Outsider where he had a chance to actually upset his former teammate. That's also with the guy admitting to not practicing and doing other things too lol. I would say that he has a chance to top this group depending on how things go and how well he prepares so it wouldn't surprise me at all.

There's probably much more that can be written about each one and personally, I think this group is going to be one of the hardest ones to call due to the abilities of all the players. Hope that helped

That would be the only time where bo7 would be acceptable. Fantasy is so horrible at TvT it would be done in 45 minutes.
