Dont get me wrong though - I'm still an Oz fan - Flash and Co. are going down. | ||

 )Here are some predictions:  HoeJJa < JaedongZvZ is less about preparation than skill...and HoeJJa is way out of his league here. But how clutch would it be if he won? That'd basically be match to KTF.  fOrGG < JaedongThe middle of this map pool is wildly Terran-friendly, so this is when we'll see KTF send out Flash and fOrGG - my Only doubt is the order they'll come out in. I think KTF will save their best for Last, and send fOrGG first. Obviously, this is a great grudge match (both for fOrGG having left Hwaseung and for their MSL final not so long ago). JD won't choke this time. Edit: Medusa isn't exactly the best map for TvZ, but consider this: KTF's best three players (other than HoeJJa) are clearly fOrGG, Flash, and Lux. Sending Lux to ZvZ against JD would just be a ridiculous decision here, considering that it's the only MU he would be an underdog in in this match. And KTF's Protosses + map benefits are still worse than fOrGG - map imba. Flash > JaedongSCR and RH3 on deck? Flash will absolutely be off the bench by this point. Whether or not KTF plans to send fOrGG first, Flash will be practicing his ass off for this map. Obviously this is a complete tossup, but I am picking Flash just because he has nothing to do other than practice for this match. Flash > LomoThis set will see either HiyA or Lomo from Hwaseung. Now that HiyA is clearly OZ's second-best player, I think they will save him for later. Lomo fits better in the sniper role, since he hasn't been very active lately and may have been practicing to beat Flash for weeks now. Also, remember that Lomo took Flash's TvT to the edge in their MSL series. Still, I think Flash is just miles ahead of everyone else in this MU right now. Losses to Up and Leta in OSL/MSL were simply a product of having too many games too close together. Flash <  YoungColosseum is Where Flash needs to be worried, I think. He's suffered quite a few TvP upsets here and I see another one coming. Young is OZ's best choice for 4th slot, assuming BackHo is still out of commission (even if he's healthy, he's likely rusty). Of course, the problem with playing a Protoss here is that Neo Harmony is up next and I almost guarantee KTF will still have Luxury in the bank at this point (they will NOT send him against JD except as a last resort).... Luxury > YoungTime for Lux to come out - the Last 2 maps are very good for Zerg and Lux knows them like the back of his hand in all 3 MUs, considering they were all over his MSL run. Luxury < HiyAYes I know Destination is a bit tricky for TvZ, but if OZ is leaving Lomo and Young to take out Flash, they can have HiyA preparing for this set. I think Lux will lose because...well, he's been winning a bit too much lately. Someone is going to adapt to his style eventually. Why not tonight? | ||

HoeJJa < Jaedong on AndromedaLuxury < Jaedong on MedusaFlash/fOrGG > Jaedong on ChupungFlash/fOrGG > HiyA on RH3Massacre after that. Flash would probably finish the series IMO, whether or not fOrGG comes out. | ||

That's what the original report said, but the updated news is that he is eligible as of this match (he just couldn't appear for KTF against T1): On March 15 2009 16:52 [AhunGrY]MelOn wrote: from interview with ktf coach posted just now on fomos: (http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=93787&db=interview) - 플레이오프서 박지수의 출전을 염두 해두고 있는지 ▲ 처음 연습실에 합류했는데 실력이 정말 출중하더라. 생각했던 것보다 만족스러운 영입이다. 경쟁을 통해서 엔트리에 들어야 하지만 큰 이변이 없으면 출전하게 될 것 같다. 이번만큼은 욕심을 내서 박지수 선수의 출전까지 고려해볼 것이다. -are you considering using forgg for the playoffs? forgg played very well in practice. was a better trade than i thought it would be. he'd have to get in the entry after getting through team competition, but if nothing goes wrong, he should be able to play. im going to be greedy this time and consider sending forgg (worded badly, but the basic idea is that forgg can play in the playoffs game) This news has been corroborated by multiple knowledgeable sources, ignore anyone who tries to tell you that fOrGG is not eligible for this match. I mean hell, he appeared in uniform on KTF's bench during the T1 match. | ||

Tempest < Jaedong Flash > Jaedong Flash > Lomo Flash > Young Flash > Hiya I expect a repetition of their WL match. If FLash takes down Jaedong I don't believe Lecaf can stop him. Even if Hiya will take down Flash, KTF has Luxury who is more than capable of closing the match in KTF favour. | ||
