Effort has shoes to fill in and so far he's filled those shoes quite nicely, but he's not the next savior. Canata shows promising play and can produce an interesting series but JDs got it in the end. Bisu should easily take the series. And Zero? + Show Spoiler +
Thanks for the stats and write-up Hot_Bid. I agree with your predictions, other than the fact that I think Iris will do a little better against Bisu than you do.
effort is not THAT much better than calm, that is just wrong. well i admit that is is better and should win 3-1(maybe 3-2). also i am a big effort fan so dont tell me "you are biased"

exactly my thought...
i dont get why an average player like canata who has done nothing in his career gets a lot more love from this forum than Jaedong, a guy who has won on every stage he's put on except for WCG...
i mean this is the same forum that loves their champions... be it Boxer, Nada, Savior or Bisu... and i remember this forum hating on Canata for his boring turtle-style games that get past 45 mins with no action...
so what changed? he got into the Ro8 on both leagues and he gets all the love all of a sudden? the need to cheer for an SK Terran? theres always fantasy and Boxer... is he one of the best guys to talk to after a match? is this just a bandwagon that fans will jump off of once the wheels start falling off?
i'm not hating on him... he's done nothing worth hating... its just im curious what changed to turn him into a well-loved player...

i don't see that happening. there are still far more jaedong fans than canata fans. maybe the reason it seems that many people are choosing canata to beat jaedong, or at least give him a run for his money, is because we all like to see the underdog triumph every once in a while. especially if this underdog had been an under-performing (for about 5 years) yet much hyped decedent of the famed skt terran lineage.
i think zero is gonna face stomp kwanro. yeah hes been ZvZ slumping, but hes shown such sick ZvZ and I think its gonna come back for kwanro.
I agree with the other predictions though. Bisu will crush Iris' agression, and effort will beat calm
I am a bit worried about JD vs Canata... I have a looming feeling canata is gonna do some crazy shit. (hopefully I'm wrong, canata makes me cry with his lameass plays LOL)
