STX VS KT is definitely the game to watch this week. The two hottest teams in the proleague clash for what should be 5 sets of awesome. Hopefully STX doesn't lose its important matchups. Flash appears completely unbeatable, so throwing out an "iffy" win like Calm first set isn't a bad idea at all. What would be even more spectacular is if Calm VS Flash occurs, and Calm might transport himself three years into the past and pull out the win. But more realistically I'd say Flash will take it. Flash > Calm I doubt we'll see Action since he's an autolose to either Modesty or Bogus. I like the matchups in STX's favor with Bogus's TVP by and large at the top level. Bogus will be needed in set 2 to prevent Flash/Stats from running off with it. Stats < Bogus For STX to win they'll have to depend on Dear to pull off a win VS a Z. Hoejja would be the most likely candidate for a set 3 matchup, but I think Dear could handle him. On the other hand KT could try to whip out a so far neglected Mind, but tey'd be risking a TVT loss to Last, who's in tremendous form right now. Either way I think the ever-improving Dear could take a win. Hoejja < Dear or Mind < Dear or Mind < Last Here's where it gets tricky for coaching STX. You could expect to see Crazy-Hydra who's coming off a win, but odds are KT will avoid a ZVZ snipe from Modesty at all costs. This depends primarily upon the matchup from the last set. Odds are Last wouldn't have been played yet and could take down Wooki, the likely P being sent out from KT, or Mind if they decided to whip him out for a win. Either way its a likely win for Last. Wooki < Last or Mind < Last KT 1 < 3 STX Honestly, this is mostly fanboy talking, but I like the way STX matches up with KT. It would be super incredible if Last could beat Flash in a TVT. That would make waking up at 6AM more than worth it. GOGO STX. | ||

Also, I want to point out that you forgot a critical piece of information. Samsung Khan has finally unveiled their secret weapon, a new and improved Shine, now boasting a 100% win rate to rival flash. I recommend that there is some kind of "What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?" head-to-head comparison between these two legends. In the past, Bonjwas were always born of competition; I believe the stage is set. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hRqJT.png) | ||

Do you think Jaedong could do that well in the past if he have to roll a dice every time he played a game to see build order lose? The term 'all-in' is a very bad thing to use in the pros BW scene since most players designed a specific strategy to execute inside a game instead of playing re-actively for the most part. The strategy should be designed based on predicting his opponent, the map he is playing on and the mechanic strength of the player himself. Clearly there is no reason for Jaedong to lose to a mid game valk switch in the game vs Catana on Ground Zero except the fact that he sucks. Seeing valks and still trying to go for guardian? ~_~... stacking 9 ovies together vs +3 valks clearly a good skill toi have. The different between a S class and an A class player in BW is how S class could play a solid style without a hole and Jaedong as well as most players on team 8 are failing to do so. This is their first win in the season and they are still struggling hardcore. I honestly have no hope for them in my liquid bet ever. as to the recap -> I was away at a family function during the games, i was forced to recap from vods. I was in a rush and skipped to about the 3/4 mark to take a look at what was going on and just assumed that there was some kind of technical delay and only recapped the non-tie game. Good pickup tho. | ||

I have to agree with NB on few parts, team8 lost all their games not because they were unlucky but because they were lacking, why did sea got 7 toss? Because other teams used their coaching heads, i agree t8 has less resources but still you could expect SO much more from 3 aces despite all the morale, no sponsor and other crap. JD unforunately doesnt look like S class, at all. Actually im afraid that its really hard to call someone S-class this season. Maybe besides Flash. Everyone dissapoints with uncharacteristic bad play fortunately younger generation is stepping up and doing well (and partly why STX is so high thanks to last/bogus). I know we cant judge real form of players from this season yet but its really the only info we got ... But i have to say it gets kinda funny and unexpected when you watch proleague now, because everyone can lose  Its like light lifting his barracks to let CH lings get in losing his tvz streak. :p | ||
