I'd wager a guess that Ryung can take out MVP, but the real problem I see for Slayers is finding enough players with good vZ, as IM will certainly send Losira and Nestea in, maybe even Junwi.

I guess MMA's TvZ is decent, but it probably won't be enough.

Also, if Slayers sends out Frozen again only to have him lose terribly, I'm gonna murder a kitten

Hasn't Losira done far more overall? MMA did beat MC (which was obviously clutch), but iirc, Losira has beaten 5 or so players!

I know MVP is kind of in a slump right now, but his TvT stat is crazy -- 18-1 (94.74%). I don't think Ryung can beat MVP

Heart says slayers, head says mvp, or nestea, or losira all kill.

I really hope Min gets another game. I want to have a better look at him and get a feel for his skill.

Also Anyone know what happened to Yughio/Newdawn? He went 6-0 in his group play to make code A originally. Though all we've seen from him is ZvZ. Would like to get a better feel for him also, tho he hasn't been sitting with the Team even.

Hes still quite highly ranked on ladder. Obviously its not a complete test of skill, but it confirms he active and at least a decent player.

I feel like Alicia can take out MVP like he did in the up and down matches, but finding someone who can take out both Losira and Nestea even if MMA can do it (he's very solid) if they play Losira, MVP, Nestea, in that order, MMA will likely die to MVP, TvT seems to be his weakest.

SlayerS can definitely win, it's a long shot but them making the finals was a long shot and here we are.

like vrok said, people must not know about GanZi's TvZ
that, honestly, is the thing I am most confident in with their team
he is the modern day red sniper
expect him to snipe Nestea

My Liquibet says IM but my heart says SlayerS. <3

If Ryung can't pull off the snipe on MVP/Nestea, then they still have Alicia and MMA. Also IM may go Zerg heavy so if SlayerS can take out at least two of Junwi/Losira/Nestea with one player that will help a lot.

Gonna guess that IM will start Junwi or Losira and SlayerS will start Ganzi or Ryung.

Well actually Slayers TvT is pretty strong MMA and Ryung have very solid play. TvT being a mirror Match can really go either way.

Their keyplayers include MVP, NesTea,Seed, and Losira.

MMA is currently 5-0 in TvZ beating the likes of July and Ret, and 4-3 in TvT beating Top and Ensnare. TvP he's beaten MC and Squirtle.

Ryung is 4-2 TvZ beating Check, Zenio, and Kyrix. But he lost twice to NesTea. He is 8-3 TvT beating Polt, Bomber, SuperNova, Top, and Rainbow. TvP he's really gone untested

I thing Slayers is more then capable in beating IM whose key players are 1 Terran, 1 Toss and 2 Zergs.

SLAYERS HWAITING!!!!

Did MMA play as Jjob in the last GSTL? I think he nearly got a reverse all kill last season if it's the same guy which could explain a lot of the support he's getting.
