STX have a great chance again T1 
STX have a relatively well rounded lineup namely; P: Kal, YJ [bestgod/soo] T: Hwasin [Sheis] Z: Calm, July
Against T1 who have what? P: Best, Bisu T: Midas, Canata Z: Gorush
STX have the 2v2 advantage imo, and if they can get it right they can avoid canata by throwing a protoss at him (neutralizing the threat of a tvt slaughter) and kal/hwasin can tango with bius/best.. all depends on lineups and maps

Hmm, I didn't actually forget Leta, I just don't see him as either a dependable player or an ace yet. It's like 815 last season, or Kwanro. Leta is bringing in the results, but he is mostly untested, and against any top ranked KeSPA player I'd vote against Leta still.
LR, I always thought it was South Korean Telecom... now I know better And I think player for player STX has a better team this season, but unfortunately, players like Midas are playing unpredictably well. He seems to be able to win against any player, but also lose against some he shouldn't. All in all, in terms of strength we have:
July > Best (recent OSL, July is just on fire) Kal > Bisu (Kal has posted very consistent results, compared to Bisu especially) Hwasin > Midas (normally that's what I'd say, but Midas looks dangerous) Shuttle = Canata (Canata is a killer in TvT, but average in other matchups. On the other hand, Shuttle is new, but he looks dangerous) 2v2_STX < 2v2_SKT (Bul_T and Rumble have looked very dangerous together)
So, looking at the teams, I think STX definitely have the stronger team. On the other hand, SKT has been outperforming themselves this whole season, and some of the STX players might not cope well under pressure. So I think STX will win, but I can easily see it swinging the other way.

STX vs STK1 would be very matchup dependent I think. STX could have a good chance of winning, but they could also have a good chance to get smashed too. Even if the matchups aren't ideal for STK1, they have a good shot of winning. Not sure I can say the same about STX...

Great write-up, Daigomi. I'm looking forward to seeing you on MSL next season 
If STX wins this round Plexa, then it's your fault for writing that FE!
CJ ftw! Um.. KT.. Ah well, SKT ftw then :p

fucken crazy that KTF didn't make it
STX is looking good
Samsung is always solid as hell
I hate OGN's lineup and hope they loose because of it
SKT1 to win it all! 1 2 3 TEAM OOV/KINGDOM FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was really preying to see an old school KTF vs SKT1 final. Oh well, SKT1 FTW!!

How do they have the 2v2 advantage ? As i can remember Bul_T and Rumble are very good 2v2 team . I think if STX plays July in the 1v1 they could have a good chance . July vs protoss on Andromeda is the scariest thing ever , but July will most likely play in the 2v2 which is not a guaranteed win either .And as far as i can remember Bisu > insurance and Best>Kal . July on Andromeda is great choise if you ask me because there are not much capable terrans on that map and i don't thing that Best or Bisu for that matter can tango with the God of War if he is at his best .
