This is a bomb-ass writeup. Awesome to see TL's PL coverage back in action, and obviously playoffs are going to be sick. Contributions from Mani and ITW were great to read!
Mani, I don't think Shuttle vs. Miracle is a coin flip:
Shuttle should be considered the heavy favorite to take this set. He's proven time and time again that his PvT is top notch: it pushed Flash to his limits in the 1set of both of their recent series (OSL Ro36, GOM), carried him past FBH (2-1) in OSL prelims, and booted fOrGG from GOM S2 and GOM S3 (2-1, 2-1). Other notable victories are HiyA 2-0 in the Batoo OSL and go.go 2-0 in last year's MSL offlines.
Shuttle's PvT track record is pretty impressive (it's hard to look at his overall record just because he's had to face so many monstrous TvP players, and has tons and tons of 2-1 series wins) but you only have to watch his recent games vs. Flash to realize that he's going to pound Miracle into the ground. Who is Miracle, anyway? He has virtually no TvP credentials and, honestly, I thought he looked pretty pathetic in his OSL debut against hyvaa.
Experience + proven PvT + weak-ass opponent = Shuttle victory, easily (or at least I hope so, for the sake of my Fantasy PL Playoff success!)

I think it was also shuttle that got owned by Boxer.
