Here's the way I see this playing out:
Firebathero > Shine[kaL]
+ Show Spoiler +FBH hasn't been particularly hot but Shine[kaL]'s win over Notice wasn't exactly so impressive to make it seem like he could defeat FBH.
Firebathero < Rock
+ Show Spoiler +WeMade's Protoss choices would be Rock, Pure, Hoony, and HerO. Rock and Pure would probably have the best chances of beating FBH, but under normal circumstances I'd say FBH would still have a very good chance of beating either of them even on Colosseum. In this setting, I think WeMade will have a Protoss player practicing very hard just to take FBH out on this map, probably Rock. If FBH does win this match I don't see Mind, NaDa, or BaBy having prepared enough to take him out in a TvT and the next two maps are very good for Terrans.
oDin > Rock
+ Show Spoiler +PvZ on Neo Harmony has not been too successful thus far in pro matches. Rock (or whichever Protoss we see) will probably have been focused on taking out FBH and not be able to overcome this disparity. I think oDin would be the choice for Samsung because they should be looking to save their protoss aces for the last 3 maps given that the last two players for WeMade are almost certainly going to be Terrans. Although Stork and Jangbi both have strong enough PvT to take a game on Rush Hour it just seems more logical to send a zerg sacrifice.
oDin < NaDa
+ Show Spoiler +There are several Terrans which WeMade can use here, and it seems likely they will be saving Mind for last. I think they would elect to use NaDa over BaBy/pepe and he should be able to win this match pretty handily.
Stork > NaDa
+ Show Spoiler +Samsung seems more comfortable using Stork than JangBi on Sin Chupung-Ryeong and JangBi on Medusa, so they'll probably keep him in reserve and send Stork out to deal with NaDa on Andromeda. He shouldn't have any issues with this.
Stork > Mind
+ Show Spoiler +I think Stork would be able to pull off a win against Mind even given the map. If he doesn't JangBi is an unspeakably enormous favorite over Mind on Medusa, so the match should go to Samsung either way.

I dont like Khan, but I will say this: January is fucking amazing at picking lineups. She is a prophet. They always get their strongest players playing their strongest matchup - even in Winners League where its near impossible, she correctly predicted the ZvP sniper Shine and sent FBH.
Nah, I don't think this pick is evidence of any particular foresight on January's part.  firebathero ALWAYS plays destination. Check Khan's PL games last season if you don't believe me.
What this shows is a LACK of foresight on the Wemade coach's part; he should have sent out a protoss.

Shine can't play twice and the other shine is on OGN anyways. Baby>Odin and then Stork>Baby would work.

Sorry, TLPD always throws me off for some reason and I keep forgetting that. I'll modify it..
Not TLPD sorry, the proleague roster thread.

GIVE ME POINTS JANGBI MOTHERFUCKER

I really hope they start playing Stork more. This format is probably good for his chances.
|
Jangbi's playing tonight in GOM right? So I think he'll be held out til the end.
You know, Khan is the only team that has always sent out an Ace to start each match, and is 0-2. I wonder if perhaps they should consider putting a scrub out first and then react accordingly instead.

Hoping for a Nada all kill!
|
FBH ALL KILL! believe it!
|
All I'm asking is at least a win FBH, it's not protoss and you had time to prepare so please earn me some points ^_^;;

Likewise, always enjoy watching Nada play. Let's hope his MSL preparations haven't thrown off his game. Inc blind fanboy foam if he performs poorly.

Even though FBH hasn't been doing that hot lately still think he's going to rip into Fox.
|
lol, the picture of WeMade with Mind pretty much sums up their team. Kind of reminds me of SKT with Boxer back in the day right before he left for military service.
|
stream going good tonight, and I even have another program open. Hopefully it stays this way
|
Yes!
I get a stream right as the intro starts playing!
|
Cute micro by Shine, forces 3 SCVs off mining, 2Hatch gas before pool is scouted.
FBH 1Rax FEs
|
:o stream was going good for me, until it asked me for a log in...any way to get around this?
|
commentator: Gamers have been so machinized that in a good condition, that many can perform an all-kill.
Another one says he meant "optimized to their best ability" but that tells how the game has changed...
