Shinhan Proleague 2008/2009 Coverage by Riptide and Heyoka
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

After one year of grueling all-week gaming, and hours, weeks, days and months of preparation, planning and execution, the Shinhan Proleague 2008-2009 is finally drawing to a close. Twelve teams in all, six falling by the side and six moving on to glory or defeat. SK Telecom T1, a team that developed steadily throughout the season to perform brilliantly in Rounds 4 and 5, move on to finally oust Hwaseung OZ from #1, a spot that would have secured them a Grand Finals seed. If anything, this must be disappointing for Lee Jaedong, a man we called the harbinger of death in last week's update. The workhorse of the team, Jaedong kept up a steady performance for Oz while performing in both individual leagues and GOM. Despite tying with the Flash for #1 in the individual rankings, however, the Zerg destroyer was unable to lead OZ to a Grand Finals seed, a fact that will surely come into play as he balances his OSL/MSL/GOM related practice with the preparation his team has to put in to get through the Semi-finals and come face to face with SKT T1. As they wait for #3 through #6 to fight it out and approach them however, Oz cant help but feel nervous. Sending Jaedong as a veritable bulldozer in front of them, they managed to edge out STX and secure a Semi-final seed. In a bo7 setting however, OZ's chances are only going to decrease further, and while Lomo, Hiya and Backho did manage to provide some support to our Zerg hero in the round robins, the team is going to definitely have problems finding the extra players that they will now need.

Despite securing a Grand Final seed, SKT's title bid now centers around three young titans and their ability to mould a fighting unit around themselves.
Kim Taek Yong, another contender for top gun that we looked at last week, falls just a game behind his OZ and KT counterparts to finish with 53 wins and a measly 14 losses when compared to Flash's 19 and Jaedong's 21. While certainly entitled to feeling robbed, and no doubt a little peeved at Boxer and Mong for not allowing him that last game vs Violet, Bisu has other things on his mind. With the playoffs being played out in a bo7 format, the Protoss undoubtedly knows that his team needs to focus on winning four games, and having a wildcard or two to boot. As far as Bisu/Fantasy/Best go, SKT does have as solid answer for the opening sets. It is after this, however, that the team's lineup begins to look poor. While Canata is certainly a viable fourth player, could Boxer come out of hibernation for the Grand Final as well? Although clearly not at the top of his game, it's certainly possible that The Emperor will snipe a big name with a well prepared and perfectly executed build. This, of course, leaves the SKT Zerg department, a branch of the team that is notorious for doing badly. Will Thezerg and s2 leave failville and manage to pull through for a team that well and truly deserves a win this time around? Only time will tell.
STX, STX, STX, the darkhorse of the round, and indeed, perhaps the entire season. For a team that was even unsure of a playoff spot at the beginning of Round 5, the Kal/Hwasin/July/By.hero/Shuttle/Calm ensemble has done remarkably well. Though featuring no titans or currently peaking stars like Bisu or Jaedong, STX was, and is a force to be contended with, particularly as they go into a playoff stage that favours a deep lineup as opposed to one that revolves around one or two great performers. In their first playoff game, they will face Samsung KHAN, the defending champions, and ordinarily, this would worry an outfit.

STX, who went from zero to hero this round, look poised to take their playoff opener with ease.
Those who have followed this season will note, however, that the KHAN that makes these playoffs is not the same team that won the 2008 Shinhan Bank Proleague. Although sporting big name players like Stork, Jangbi, Firebathero and great, KHAN has performed abysmally this season when compared with their run last time around, and barely managed to hold on to a #6 spot by edging out KT, who fell behind by a single game, and two penalty points generously donated by KeSPA. They will face a solid STX, and most likely get destroyed in style. I'm sorry KHAN fans, but there isn't a lot going for your team at the moment.
Leta, type-b, go.go and Yarnc are the backbone of Hite, even if the latter hasn't been pulling his weight lately. Of course, a bo7 will also most likely see them down, although their first playoff encounter with CJ will perhaps have them at a slight advantage, especially seeing their recent performance. Though Effort/Kwanro/Skyhigh/Iris/Savior are all really big names, like KHAN, they have not been living up to their reputations. Effort, despite an early OSL exit, is their saving grace, but as we've mentioned time and time again in this piece, a bo7 does not favour a team that relies on a single powerhorse. While it is very well possible that an erratic Skyhigh and Kwanro could pull themselves together in time for the playoffs, one has to realise that they will probably have a hard time against Hite who are playing type-b and go.go, both of who advanced to the OSL Ro8 last week.

Playing it Off

This is the way the world ends.
So on Saturday the 18th of July, we enter what will be the last round of games for this season of proleague. Hite vs CJ, STX vs KHAN, the winners of which who will face each other, and then Oz. Our predictions for the STX vs KHAN encounter are pretty clear - July's boys are going to make short work of a flailing KHAN. Hite vs CJ of course is less easy to call, but despite CJ's 'deeper by name' lineup, we have to give Leta's merry men at least a slight edge given their recent performance.
If you've missed a lot of PL this season, and were wondering when to begin watching, well, now is certainly the time. These next few weeks are going to bring viewers the very best that professional Starcraft has to offer, and missing any of these great games would certainly be a disservice you do to yourself.
Something to note is that some maps from earlier rounds will be used in the playoffs, making the games a little less monotonous, and the preparation a little more difficult. One things for sure though - practice rooms are going to be bustling this week as plays are created, builds are rehearsed, and champions are forged. Who will fall? Who will prevail? The answers await, at the end of the line.
