Jjakji is obviously going to win this but I think Nerchio will take a game or two. It's pretty hard to win a best of 9 without losing a single game.
Mvp, Nestea, Leenock, MC, Oz, Jjakji!

Jjakji would win for sure, but I hope Nerchio would at least take a game or two from Jjakji.

I thought IPL learned from the first team arena to not invite a player (or team) that won't be beaten . I don't see Jjakji having a tough time with Nerchio, or many other players for that matter

Nerchio is prity good vs Terran, but Jjakji has one of the best TvZ's in the world. Common sense would say Jjakji easy. Hoping for the upset though, rooting for Nerchio non the less.

Upsets do happen. Who's server are they playing on?

WTF Jjakji? Nerchio doesn't stand a chance. We were lucky that Ganzi had a kryptonite matchup which allowed a foreigner back on the throne, but who outside of Korea can take down Jjakji in a bo9?

Kas would definitely have a chance but he already played not too long ago and lost to Ganzi. Not sure what IPL's policy on repeat challengers is. I think they'd be more inclined to have new players each time.

Yeah, I would have loved to see Kas next, but since he played already I'd rather have Thorzain, Stephano or IdrA if Jjakji wins it, because they never played here and it would be interesting to see how they match up against someone like Jjakji.

Thorzain's best matchup is probably TvT while it's Jjakjis weakest so the games could be quite close, Stephano still has an air of mysteriousness surrounding him when he plays and you never know what he's going to do and if the opponent has an answer for it. And IdrA, I'm just really curious if he could pull off a better showing than he did against Taeja in the ESV showmatch in his proclaimed best matchup and Jjakji is one of the coolest Korean players you could have a showmatch against, because he's relatively new to the fame and still much more unknown than players who've been in the spotlight for a long time, so his play is also still quite unexplored and it's easier for him to surprise the viewers and his opponents.

If Nerchio wins, of course, we probably won't see a ZvZ showmatch, although I really wouldn't mind, but I guess IGN wants to retain their viewer base.

Stephano's and maybe Dimaga are the only Zergs that could potentially beat Jjakji. This will be a slaughter imo

It might be, but he does not have to play MMA or MVP, so what has that comment to do with this thread?


Jjakji beat Leenock, while both Mvp and MMA failed in taking him down (also IMHappy's 89% winrate in vZ)


So because Jjakji beat Leenock and Mvp and MMA lost to Leenock, Jjakji has better TvZ? I understand where you are coming from but I cannot disagree more. That sort of comparison is not very accurate.

Dunno why people are writing off Nerchio for a cross server ZvT, especially given he doesn't even play a common style in the match up. looking forward to it personally =)

Nerchio is not to be underestimated, even tho he seems to be slumping for past few weeks. But a top form Nerchio could give us a great serie. hell yeah IPL <3

having played 1 amazing TvZ against a great zerg doesn't say a whole lot about your TvZ. jjakji has still a lot to prove.

Where did you see me saying that? I think they are about equal.

Good Luck Nerchio! My mind says the November Code S Champion will win but I will cheer on for the best Polish player (sorry MaNa!)
