It is finally time for the main tournament. This tournament needs more hype!

Hoseo is just too strong for Dignitas. Hoseo takes it 5-2.

Whoa, too soon!

I wonder how Sjow and Select will fare. Bomber once said Sjow had Code S caliber TvT back in Raleigh, and Sjow even made it to the Ro16 in Code A, showing that he has Code A ability despite his low APM.

In TvT Sjow's quite solid. TvZ he's really weak though. So it really depends what race he plays. Given NSHS is a Protoss team mostly he probably won't get a TvT.

To be honest, they have been showcasing a fair amount of racial balance lately. Jjackji/Sculp/Hoon, Sage/San/Tassadar, Seal/Fairy/RealMaker... Most of them are not high-caliber players, but they tend not to be too bad either.

I could see Dignitas using Sjow to snipe Jjakji because of his strong TvT (assuming that both of them are played of course). I guess we shall find out tonight which team will come out ahead.

I would be cautious about calling NSHoSeo taking the easy victory. They've showcased insane talent in some cases and they have some really strong players.

However, they've also shown some bizarre losses in Team Leagues. I still think they're a favorite here, but not by as large a margin as some might think.

I predict NSHoSeo 5-3
