 Lomo < sKyHighSkyHigh has taken some big names on in TvT. He's playing sharp and smart and i expect him to roll Lomo.  Jaedong > EffOrtThe Dong is still ZvZ incarnate HiyA <  MovieMovie.. i dont like you. However Hiya straight up blows nowadays. PerfectMan < IrisWho the fuck is perfectman? (insert Reach joke here) Iris is doing FINE ; expect him to roll.. this B team noob. BackHo > SnowROFL. Snow's last PvP was against Bisu. Backho also played Bisu but showed a higher level of play vs Bisu. I expect Backho to beat snow. Killer < Kwanrokwanro will win. Why even bother? | ||

Effort was in his hot streak when he was in the OSL but what happened? o yea, eliminated. Even when JD was "slumping" and exhausted. Jaedong no matter what player and especially zerg he faces is the favourite. I know effort has the 2nd best zvz but so did luxury at one point but he still got trounced by JD. This time I think that JD will win because he's angry. You know he's not happy losing to Effort 0-2 in GOM and he wants to even out the record. Jaedong recognizes him as his rival and when that happens, well he wins in clutch situations like say vs Flash or vs Bisu. This is Jaedong's time for revenge and Jaedong is going to prove who is the real overmind and who is the cerebrate. | ||

Lomo < sKyHighJaedong < EffOrtEffort is on a zvz roll and Jaedong has been playing tired lately. I think playing a championship hungry ace on a ridiculous hot streak will make it even harder for JD. (as much as i like JD) HiyA ? MovieI don't know which Movie will show up, does anyone? His win in the last game was over Juni who was stressed to the max and played horrible. PerfectMan < IrisIris has been playing very good SC recently and perfectman well... hasn't done anything BackHo > SnowBackHo should win this one easily, CJ just has a weak slot for protoss here. I suppose Snow won't do any worse than NBS would. Killer < KwanroMy faith has been shaken in Kwarno's playoff play but he should win this one and i think he will. Go CJ! | ||

sKyHigh > LomoGoing off TLPD, not only is TvT Skyhigh's best matchup (65.38% win rate), it's Lomo's worst (43.59%) - then factor in that Destination is Skyhigh's stomping ground. He's 20-6 on the map (6-2 TvT); Lomo is 5-8 (3-4 TvT). We all know Skyhigh is a monster in the playoffs, and isn't doing okay recently (after a small slump), going 6-4. Lomo is 4-6 for the last 10. I'd say that Skyhigh is the clear favorite for this set. Jaedong > EffOrtThis is the toughest to call, and will probably be the game of the night. + Show Spoiler [Gom spoiler] + Now that Effort is out of Gom, he'll have that much less to practice for - even though he put proleague ahead anyway, I'm sure it's a load off his shoulders. And I'll put this in the spoiler just in case, but I'm sure everyone knows by now that Effort did beat Jaedong 2-0. Movie > HiyAI'm honestly not going to bother with trying to analyze who will win here. It is Hiya's best match up, he is 2-0 TvP on this map (but they weren't against the highest caliber of opponent  ), and Movie is wildly inconsistent. But that's part of what draws me to him. His last match on this map up, he made Leta cry - then lost to Justin the next day. But he still sniped Leta, and I believe he can work the magic again on Hiya. Iris > PerfectManIris is hot, Perfectman is a B-teamer. I think it's more likely that he is in the lineup because of Oz's lack of depth, than they've been training him to snipe. BackHo > SnowBackho's another player who can be wildly inconsistent, and the little we have seen from Snow hasn't been too impressive (personally just going by record with him - I don't recall his games, though one was against Bisu, so he could have put up a fight). With that said, I think a Snow snipe of Backho is much more likely than a Perfectman snipe of Iris. Kwanro > KillerStatistically ZvZ is Kwanro's best, and once again, Killer is a B-teamer. Kwanro can lose games horribly, but he can also win them. He's rather inconsistent, but I think he has this. CJ wins the day 4-2. | ||

If someone other than Backho steps up and wins a game, Jaedong'll take CJ down in the Ace match. As long as it goes to Ace, I think OZ has a great chance of winning. | ||

It might be a repeat of GOM all over again. But the thing is, with ZvZ, there's not much flexibility in builds. I do believe mechanics at the end of the day play a huge role in the game, which is why I do believe Jaedong still has the upper edge. | ||
