Edit: Even though Idra 3:0'd his group (including Clide!), Jinro 2-0'd the former reigning champion of the GSL who happens to be one of (if not number 1) protoss in korea right now. It will be close, but I think IdrA will underestimate Jinro, and will get Jinrolled 3-1.
I don't think Idra will underestimate Jinro because he has praised Jinro alot in the past for how he actually knows how to play terran and is one of the best.
I predict 3-0 Idra or 3-1 Idra. Go Idra win this GSL! :D
It's not that IdrA isn't great. He's really great. But ...
1) Jinro knows how to split these maps. Once he contains IdrA with 20 to 30 bazillion tanks and vikings it's over. 2) Even though they're comparable in skill level, Jinro is playing the overpowered race 3) Jinro is practicing against Ret. IdrA is practicing against ... uh ... ?
Yeah, Jinro is definitely looking hot. But Idra did just 3-0 a fairly competent group to get to the ro8.
I'm so excited for this match; I never thought I'd think that 5am couldn't come soon enough!
Don't get me wrong, I actually want a close series and hope IdrA wins ... but seeing Jinro dismantle MC was a revelation.
Not to mention Jinro has an amazing zerg practice partner to perfect builds against.
btw, to anybody saying "3:1 Idra", keep in mind that that requires him to win the 4th game on Jungle Basin. I think it's either 3-0 or 3-2 if Idra is going to win, because JB is a write-off.
I hope Jinro can surprise me and bring this home because my heart says Jinro but my head says - based on those maps we should see a zerg triumph tonight
I really hope Nada can macro his way to victory please please please!

I hate this obsession with people writing off Jungle Basin. Jinro can win every map as can Idra just because it is harder doesn't mean its a write off. I hope it gets to the 4th map and idra can beat jinro on it to stop all the omg insta lose for zerg.
throughout that though idra probably would still lose on JB but stop saying its a write off
EPT
here's to hoping for some exciting games!
