I'd rather have fraer against someone else, now that we've already had Titan, you can see Hyun vs fraer every other week in ZOTAC Cups anyway.
IPL should just man the fuck up and give him a ZvZ opponent, namely Life if his schedule allows it or Curious. Hell, they could ask Nerchio back or invite Scarlett for all I care, but seeing Hyun dominate Terran and Protoss is getting kind of stale at this point.
Sea should be no different.
Totally agreed with this. I'd love to see life, Scarlett, Nestea or DRG vs Hyun
Nestea is no longer what he used to be unfortunately, do you really want to see him get stomped? I could see DRG taking out Hyun, not sure if he's played in IPL FC though (Don't think he has)
DRG was invited to play Polt, accepted but then changed his mind and declined later, I think. He never played after that, not sure if he'd play with potential cross-server games incoming if he wins. DongRaeGu is known for avoiding cross-server games at all costs. :D
I can imagine this is how the conversation went before the match
Nazgul: "So Sea, you are all ready for SC2 progaming?" Sea: "Hell yeah, making it to Masters in a week feels good!" Nazgul: "Good! Now, we set you up for a Bo9 series against TSLHyuN!" Sea: "........."
In all seriousness, this is almost certainly a sweep 5-0 for HyuN. Seems like a cruel way to initiate Sea into Liquid, but I guess he can learn from the best by facing the best. Also, congratulations for being the only member of the Ten Kill Club HyuN.

You are generalizing way too much. Just because in general KeSPA players are performing well, doesnt mean than any former KeSPA pro can beat any already established player (ESF). Hyun is on a freaking beastmode, coming off wins vs alive, Gumiho and Byun. Sea however isnt among the KeSPA players who have shown amazing games in SC2.
I don't see Sea taking more than 1 game.
I can see Sea taking maybe 2 games if Hyun roach rushes and it doesn't work or maybe 1 game with a timing but he won't get to 3 wins.

I doubt Sea will win in a long-term macro game. Both players have excellent mechanics, but HyuN has more comfortability and knows the compositions better than Sea. The only ways I see Sea winning is through 2 Rax or with HyuN screwing up majorly in an engagement. Sea has only been really practicing on ladder, but he has the many replays of HyuN's ZvT to study. Still, this should probably end with a HyuN victory, I'm 95% sure.
Will be very surprised if Sea takes a game. Hyun is quite good, and Sea is taking a while to transition. He's getting there but he's not good enough to beat Hyun yet. Watching his recent games vs Happy (I think?), he had way better macro but he threw away army after army into siege lines. You need way more than macro to beat someone like Hyun.

Sad thing is, this is probably true :p (sorry Coach Lee)
