Come on people. Stop making the "I'll ____ if _____ loses" comments. Haven't you guys learned from poor GTR's predicament and the Frozean v. Jaedong guy? :X

Anyways, odds are, since it's Outsider, it'll be either Stork/Great that gets the call. I predict that the CJ coach is going to throw an absolute curveball at Khan and send out Movie. He'll probably try to trip up a January who thinks that Effort will show up and accordingly, have Stork/Great practice more v. Z than v.P. But that's just my guess.

Predictions:
SkyHigh < Stork - This could go either way. Yes I said that.Skyhigh has been amazing in Playoff play. He's like Pujols with the bases loaded. Not a pretty sight if you're a pitcher.

Kwanro < Miracle - Neo Medusa has favored Terrans and with Miracle's recent hot streak, he'll be riding the momentum against Kwanro.

Effort > Great - Undoubtedly, noone knows because its a ZvZ that does not include Jaedong, but Effort should have the upper hand.

Much < Jangbi - Much lost against Stork. That does not mean anything, but Jangbi is similar to Stork in stats. In fact, Stork has claimed that Jangbi absolutely owns him in practice. A better protoss player isn't going to help Much. Much should pull off some cheese here to try and prevent from being rolled or gain an advantage.

Iris > Firebathero - Firebathero has been playing like an ass. Iris hasn't. Simple.

Movie > Juni - Movie is so inconsistent it's impossible to tell. One day he defeats Leta and the next day he loses to Justin. You can never tell. I say the good Movie shows up today and beats Juni.

ACE:
Effort > Great - Khan will probably send out Great the first time to try and snipe Effort and win in the crapshoot that is a ZvZ. However, I think Effort will pull this off.

Super ACE:
Movie > Stork - CJ will try and utterly catch Khan by surprise by sending out Movie instead of Effort or even the playoff king Skyhigh. Movie has beaten Leta in an ACE, and has hung around against Jaedong. Movie has also probably been practicing PvZ, which means he has got his PvZ practice covered and thus, will not be hurt if Great shows up in the Super ACE. I'm taking a gamble and also saying that KHAN, though unlikely to be so careless, will have their Outsider players practicing more vT and vZ matchups than vP matchups. This oversight will probably lead to their downfall. I'm going to say the surprise factor leads to a CJ victory in the Super ACE.

CJ 4-3, CJ > KHAN Super ACE. Khan will play well, but it'll come down to the ACE matchups and which teams can read into the other team's mind better.

Wild gamble in the Super ACE? I don't know, but who would have predicted Movie to show up against Leta too?
