Awesome writeup. *crosses fingers for a jaedong chalrenge throwdown ace match w/ chalrenge doing something crazy to win*

as long as jaedong leaves lecaf and signs with samsung khan within the next few days, i dont think it will happen

well this doesn't look too bad. For the first time ever, I am rooting for Samsung.

Predictions:
Leta > Hades- I've never seen Hades play, but I think Leta has too much momentum atm.
Luxury < Stork- Stork had a crap load of time to prepare for this so he shouldn't lose to luxury
OGN < Khan- Really strong 2v2 teams, but OGNs lost recently.
Go.go < FBH- No win for you bug terran. FBH is a TvT monster
Chalrenge < Jangbi- He is too solid to lose to some 4 gate.

4-1 Khan- I can all of these games going either way except for FBH vs go.go. That should be a definate win

OGN > Khan- Never seen either team play

Ace- FBH vs Luxury- FBH has a killer TvZ and has recently beaten luxury on othello. OGN doesn't have a protoss to send in Ace, so FBH can take anyone who comes out.
Jangbi/Stork vs Luxury would be too risky for Khan unless Stork can pull of a decisive win on Andromeda.

FBH > Luxury if it gets to ace

nice reading... for me doesnt matter who wins.. i hate gogo and FBH.. maybe a draw between both of them and a re match cancelled would be fine.. XD

maybe before the judgment day we will see a final between skt1 and ktf, meanwhile just throw pop- corns over the face of FBH and gogo its a good entertainment.

I'd say that jangbi will lose if OGN is up 3-1 because his nerves will force his hands to twitch uncontrollably, somewhat like what happened versus backho. If he keeps his calm he should not lose though unless chalrenge does some random semi retarded build that he loves doing.

As much of a samsung fanboy I am, I would have to say that OGN his an advantage because they carry a lot of momentum and the matchups are somewhat in their favor.

FBH ends up crying in his booth for the last minute before the GG. They must have put him in the fourth set for a reason.

Great writeup, LR

.

I can only hope for some nice games, for something entertaining to watch (ceremonies

), etc. - neither of these teams are in my favorites

.

Damn, why SKT lost

Hades < Leta
Hades sucks, Nuff said.
Stork < Luxury
Stork's PvZ was never his strong point. Now hes against a zerg on Andromeda, a zerg called Luxury nonetheless. Loss for stork.
Samsung > OGN
Samsung's 2v2 team looks more consistent, and Hannibal isin't as position imbalanced as Hunters. Win for Samsung
FBH > GoGo
Gah, both these players make me sick, but in the end, i hate GoGo more.
Jangbi > Chalrenge
Close, boring game where Jangbi edges it.
Samsung < OGN
Don't know much about these two teams, but i'll give it to OGN.
FBH < Chalrenge
FBH is sent in to snipe Luxury, but OGN send Chalrenge to snipe FBH. OGN wins the mind game ... again.

OGN Sparkyz 4 - Samsung Khan 3

ACE match. Khan sends Hades. OGN spazzes out not knowing how to handle the surprise.
Khan wins

I'm hoping I'm not going to be going all the way to Pusan/Busan/whatever (6 hour train ride at 5am - joy.) to see Khan lose, but tbh if I *had* to see them lose to any teams this season it would be SKT1 (for their amazing reinvention attitude/gameplay wise.) or OGN (for defying a lot of people's preconceptions and making it to the finals.) I'm planning to work the whole time and take so many photos I don't have to watch the matches (until they're vods.) seing Khan play makes me nervous (as a fan -_-;

I don't want to pretend to be better than January, so I don't know what the wrong moves really are, but if there ever was a RIGHT move, it was putting FBH in the fourth set. Should everything go wrong for KHAN, FBH is there to save the day.

I hate saying this because there is only one true Savior.

Firebathero would make for an interesting ace, as would Jangbi. So long as Chal gets crushed however, I do not mind if either takes it.
