Startale heavily favored. Zenex just has not been the same since they lost Byun, Taeja, Coca and Puzzle. I hope the God of War himself makes an appearance.

I know that most people are betting against ZeNEX and for very good reason, but I feel like they have what it takes to pull off an upset.

Hm, ZeNEX certainly has what it takes to not go down 0-5, but I can't see them winning enough games to actually take the win.

It's not the GSTL!

I don't know if a Nobel Peace Prize winner cares for a simple foreign team league match.

I'm pretty sure that Startale will win, although since I voted for them in the poll I think that means the universe will now reorder itself to make sure they lose.

I really hope that Zenex can at least win one map. Line/Life definitely have the skill to take ST members down, but I'm not sure if they can do it.

I don't think Zenex is that far behind in "average player power", but Bomer, Curious and Parting are too heavy hitters for Zenex.

Where's the excitement for our first all-Korean showdown? These games should be quite amazing, as both teams have their share of GSL-experienced players!

Zenex gonna get rolled. Sad, but true. I voted for StarTale because the poll asked who I thought would win, but I'll cheer for the underdog at 7:00 PM Central. Go Zenex!
