all those Zergs come in Handy for Oz who has top 3 PvZ in the world, (check stats if u dont believe)

Oz should take out 3 players, aLive has better TvT than Polt and ByuL has proven hes also a nice ZvT Sniper

Excited to see what Moon will show us, on a good day he can take out any player.

Fnatic wins 5-3 but anyways Fnatic, even if they will lose are more competitive in Korea than Liquid or EG right now.

Check out their 6-5 win in KSL over FXO, without even having Oz available at that time. They already got experience and an even better lineup now. They cant be called an Underdog in GSTL, Liquid was the weakest team, sorry.

I think we can expect the aces to come out one after the other, but the order matters a lot. I have little doubt that aLive will be saved until absolutely necessary/sniping Polt. Then Symbol against aLive, and then Oz against Symbol, probably ending in Fnatic's favor. But the same could be said if it happens to be aLive to Symbol to Oz to Polt, in TSL's favor.

Like the preview said, I think a lot of it will hinge on the TSL non-aces, almost all of which qualified for Code A this season. Of all though, I think Inori is going to play a bigger role in this match/tournament than HyuN, Revival, or Shine.

Players of interest should be NightEnd and ToD. We don't know how good they actually are because we haven't seen them in tournaments all that often but they both have extremely high ladder rankings.

TSL has a good team all around; it's true Polt, Symbol, HyuN and RevivaL will probably carry, but Inori's pretty solid too; he got pretty far in the recent Spring Arena 2.

I think that Fnatic's strategy should be to try and get Polt deployed as early as possible (without using OZ) so the can snipe him leaving TSL with pretty much only zergs to kill OZ, consequently, TSL should try to force OZ out as early as possible so he can be snipe by polt and symbol and hyun can clean up alive and whoever else left, Fnatic may be able to ZvZ one of them down, but not both. I think this will be easier for TSL to accomplish so...
TSL 5-3.

Oz bad at PvT is old news I think, if he gets map pick against Polt, he's favored or even at worst

that said, Polt map picking against Oz is pretty good too :o

NightEnd has a good opportunity to show his play imo.

(Btw, it is "Millenium" and not "Millennium", no double 'n' in French

It's not double n in english, either... just a typo

OT: I don't think NightEnD will get a kill. I know he's good and plays well, but I think the nerves will get to him (if he's played at all).

Also, I think this match comes down to aLive and Oz. TSL will win if aLive and Oz don't rampage over them. Kind of like NSHS vs. zeNEX

So fucking excited for tonight.

The semi-finals match against Prime was the most depressing series of Starcraft I have ever watched. Everything that has happened since then with everybody leaving and all the controversy surrounding Coach Lee has been rough but it seems like he did it again and they have another legit chance at making a run in this tournament.

For NightEnd, it's not really a matter of skill - it's just that most players can't really play up to their potential their FIRST time in the GSL booth. Ofc he could be an exception, but it's pretty safe to bet that first timers won't play too well.
