CJ needed to win on both days and prevent it from going to super ace. Oz did a good job on the first day. Oz's strategy was pretty much have Jaedong win + 2 other people on one day, and then have it go to a super ace where Jaedong could take it. As soon as Oz won the first day, CJ's chances of going to finals was going to be tough at best, because any zerg vs. Jaedong is a dicey proposition and CJ doesn't have any other players that could consistently go toe to toe with Jaedong. That being said, SKT will win the proleague in my mind for sure - they will be well rested to take down Oz for sure.

T1 may have a better combination of players (best/bisu/canata/fantasy) but it doesn't mean they're gonna trash Oz in the Grand Finals. Let's see:
- Bisu can be sniped (by Perfectman?)
- Lomo has already won over Fantasy in a mirror MU, there's no reason why he can't do it again.
- Best ... i don't really think he's as consistent as Bisu and Fantasy so Oz can always get a game here.

Just by stating a few facts, all we can see is that Oz can bring the game to the Super ACE ... And when they do, it all comes down to who is capable of stopping Jaedong's rage ...

This is coming from a T1's fan ... And honestly, I don't see how T1 is having a huge advantage here ...

i honestly wouldn't see oz as a pushover for skt, despite whatever deep lineup they have. but as we've seen, theorycrafting doesn't work out every time. jaedong can lose a zvz against a no name, just to win the next zvz against the considered second best zerg thereafter. being the better team on paper does not translate into an auto-win.

skt is still the favourite over oz, but fans expecting a crushing display of the bisu/best/canata/fantasy combo might get disappointed. despite jaedong, oz doesn't have any player of their calibre, but dedicated practice and preparation can make a suspected scrub come out on par.
