[SPL] CJ Entus vs KT MagicNs - Page 3

This is a very exciting match-up, each of these matches seem to have a clear favorite against a strong opponent who's easily capable of pulling off an upset.

Predictions:
Kwanro < Violet
Violet has been playing extremely well as of late, with only loss in a series win (Lux) and his most recent game (Guemchi). I had some skepticism of Violet, as he seemed to become very good all of a sudden, but I promised I'd stop doubting if he beat HoGil, and he delivered. This is a match of Violet's statistically strongest match-up against Kwanro's statistically worst, and I'd expect to see Violet continue his PL domination in this game.
Iris < Flash
It's nice to see Iris back in PL play, sKyHigh has been baffling unimpressive of late, randomly losing games he shouldn't. I don't see Iris having too much luck in this game unfortunately, Flash is the monster we all know and love, and having won nine of his last ten, there's no doubting his strength.
EffOrt > 815
The newly crowned #1 should be looking to extend his impressive run in this game, in what should be a simple game for EffOrt, his Jaedong-slaying ZvZ ought to conquer 815's solid (but decidedly inferior) style. Look for 26-3 for the Alien.
Much > Luxury
For my purposes, Luxury's streak of terrible-ness is effectively over, with decent performances against Violet in GOM, a beating of ZerO, and a strong come-from-behind show against Hwasin's last good match-up. However, Much is also back, and in a bigger and better way. While Luxury has been looking like a solid player, Much has been playing more like a player who recently won an MSL. His last win against JangBi was particularly impressive, and before that he cleaned up a set of hapless zergs. This is probably the closest of the close matches tonight, but I give Much the edge.

ACE:
A potential ACE match-up on a map assumed to be Terran-favored should give the CJ coach fits. sKyHigh would normally be the pick, but after blowing it against Jaedong, I'd be surprised if CJ has any confidence in him. If Iris beat Flash earlier, he's an option, but if he beat Flash, I'm not sure there'd be an ACE match. I'd expect CJ to buck tradition for this map and stick to their guns, send out EffOrt. For KT, it's easy; the list begins and ends with Flash. Then again, this is KT, so expect to see Tempest here.

EffOrt > Flash
This is a difficult call, and should be just as exciting as the rest of these games promise to be. Neither have played a televised match on this map, but we've seen Terran a little more on this map, so I'd expect EffOrt to be a little better prepared. On paper though, it's really not possible to call. In the end though, the strong player will be beaten by the player putting together the best 30 game streak in SC history. 27-3, if EffOrt comes on top.
