Wow. 1 day before the match and 7 pages already. impressive.

Predictions:

TheZerg < Luxury
Best > Hoejja
Bisu > Violet
Fantasy < Flash

SKT 2 - 2 KTF

This will go to Ace Match and, imo, the map being BR destroys the supposed to be epicness of this Ace Match. I cant even say who the teams would send for Ace Match because there are no reliable zergs for both teams right now so maybe both teams would go non-zerg. I dont know really.

I think both KTF and T1 fans see the ace match a little anti-climactic. Both teams don't have that much promising Zerg players (Luxury has the 2nd best ZvZ but we all know he's slumping a little).

Bisu is 67% PvP according to TLPD, while not as good as flash's TvT (70%+) or Jaedong's ZVZ (80+%), I don't think there's anyone who's better at the matchup than Bisu.

I don't see him losing to violet unless he really messes up.

For upsets I predict
Thezerg < Luxury
(Luxury pulls off a win at last when I least want him too)
BeSt > HoeJJa
(Fan of best but his PvZ play makes each win look like a near miracle

)
Bisu < Violet
(people would be screaming how Bisu screwed up instead of Violet's good play)
fantasy > Flash
(people would be screaming how Flash screwed up instead of Fantasy's good play)

With the match score at 2:2 both teams resort to the wisdom of their coaches so for ace I predict

Bad coach decision <vs> Bad coach decision
(winner to be determined by which player choice turned out worse...)

TheZerg < Lux

Let's be realistic, Lux can suck it up in proleague but he can't suck it up worse than TheZerg. This is coming from an SKT1 fan.

Best > Hoejja

Hoe has been showing good play recently but Best's macro should save his abysmal PvZ gamesense. Hoejja should try an early-game play of some sort to seal the deal or at least set Best back far enough that his steamroll macro doesn't start until Hoejja has his timing attack.

Bisu > Violet
This game is a joke.

fantasy > Flash
Flash is good but he is most comfortable playing standard, which he will be trying to do at all costs (playing greedy and defensively). Fantasy is creative enough and smart enough (or oov/Boxer are, depends on what you believe) to not let him get away with it. This should be the match hardest to predict and also a set-deciding one, since I am pretty sure KTF would win ace because their zergs suck less and it's too early in the TvZ BR upheave for either team to risk sending anything but zerg to ace. If anyone is sent out for ace that is not zerg, it's probably fantasy. Second bet Bisu. KTF will not send a non-Z.

Flash and Fantasy are clan mates - and we know how well Fantasy has started to beat up on people he can read. Hi Bisu!

I'm pretty sure there was that match where Fantasy bunker rushed FlaSh on Colosseum when FlaSh opened with a greedy opening, I'm sure as someone who's close to Fantasy, he won't make that same kind of mistake again.

prolly 3-0 stk1, violet has been on fire lately, but I suspect bisu will outmacro him, but with violets current level he prolly has a chance.

And even the way best is playing these days, hell just run hoejja over.

edit: Actually its hard to say, luxury may win, I mean he sucks ass but its a skt1 zerg, regarless of how bad they are one has to win.

You can't exactly call Jaedong a zerg lineup. So Hwaseung isn't in a better spot in matter of zergs.

I actually think he's the best zerg line up out there.
He's the best zerg and he's allowed to play two games if it gets to Ace.
