Detailed Predictions:
+ Show Spoiler +
#1 Haran has 25% win vs P, and no individual league success. BackHo, despite being hated by nearly everyone on TL, is in the semifinals of the OSL and is practicing vs Zerg like a madman for his upcoming match against July. He should take this with ease.
#2 This game will be closer than people think imo. Flash has looked very human lately, going 5-5 in his last ten games with a recent loss to Ruby on this map. I still give the edge to the little monster, but fOrGG seems to be pretty hot right now, with momentum that flash might be losing.
#3 Man, if you thought the Lecaf 2v2 team was bad in the 200 other games that they lost, I cant imagine how they are gonna look vs the godly reach/yellow team of manliness. Another 2v2 autoloss for Lecaf.
#4 Jaedong is a better zerg player than 815. This should be an easier pick, but I nearly gave it to 815 simply because the map is Blue Storm. 815 has no individual league commitments to practice for and he is the fucking god of blue storm. He has sniped so many people on this map in proleauge (including Jaedong previously!) that it is hard not to give it to him. However, i simply cannot bet against Jaedong in a ZvZ at his current ridicolous near-80% win in the matchup, so I predict a win for him.
#5 I think this match is very likely to go to the ACE, and i'm predicting HiyA from Lecaf and probably Flash from KTF.
Results:

BackHo < HARAN (Thank you stork for fucking ruining andromeda PvZ)
FORGG > Flash (Oh ho upset)
Lecaf < KTF (Oh ho not an upset at all)
JAEDONG > 815 (Coming on to 80% now)
HiyA < FLASH (Flash redeems himself and sends Lecaf to 5th place)
|
Lecaf had better bring their best game, or they might be out of the postseason altogether.

imma picking forgg to "cleanse" flash hence lecaf taking it in 4

My vote goes to Lecaf. They must win this to keep up in the top.

I think it will hinge a LOT on Jaedong.
I am 99% certain that BackHo can crush Haran given their skill difference and the fact that BackHo is already practicing for vs July, however their 2v2 is an autoloss and since fOrGG vs Flash favors Flash........ its gonna come down to Jaedong vs 815.
If Jaedong wins and takes it to ace, I actually think Lecaf will take it. HiyA is a monster in ace matches, its obvious he practices the ace map all week knowing he is gonna be picked as ace if it comes down to it. I'm pretty sure he can take out Flash if it comes down to it.

Lets go Backho! I'd love this dude even more if he would just get a different haircut....
|
anyone know the stream for this game?, i dunno, i think Flash (70% TvT) will beat Forgg (40% TvT) simply cause his TvT is his best matchup and Forgg sucks at it. Same goes for JD even though both players have been semi-slumping recently, although JD has more than redeemed himself in my book for beating Hwasin. In the Ace, ... I would LOVE to see Flash vs Jaedong rivalry rematch, that'd be like the match of the year.

my prediction:
backho<haran (i dont know why i think this, not because i am a ktf fan, but gut instinct)
forgg>flash (i think flash is just a kid and his spirit is crushed)lecaf>ktf (i really dont know why, but i think bad luck will give lecaf the win)
jaedong>815 (jaedong is the obvious better player even though 815 beat him previously and 815 is the blue storm beast)
3:1 lecaf
my dream:
backho<haran
forgg<flash
lecaf<ktf
KTF OWNS

3-1 Lecaf > KTF
Only loss from Flash
|
Good lineups for KTF, particularly catching forgg in his weakest matchup as well as allowing 815 a sniping chance on Blue Storm. Nevertheless, Lecaf's lineup can easily take this to an ace.

If 815 or Haran can snipe a match, KTF should take this in 4. If not, this match goes to Ace. And KTF better be sending out Flash. I'd probably end up breaking something if they send out Hery again.

Atrioc, I love your OPs. Very nice looking. I have to agree with your predictions, but that 815 vs JD game makes me nervous for JD. I hope your prediction winds up right.

Thanks
And yeah i'm nervous for him also. I'm really hoping he takes it (and his next couple ZvZ) so he gets that rarely seen 80% win.

I expect Lucifer or rA for KTF's ace. Good for the map and Flash is very clearly getting exhausted from playing so many matches, so they won't play him twice.
edit: that's not Troy, is it? I'm an idiot.

xO Predictions~
BackHo, fOrGG, Reach & YellOw, 815...and then a Nal_rA versus Lomo ace match~! With rA winning it 3-2 for KTF. <3
I'll be sad if Lecaf wins 3-0... =(

title should be July.
ktf faith
