well guess you'll like when SPL goes all kill next round or whenever they do.

Great thing about SPL is they do both ^_^. I prefer proleague format personally but I like watching all kill every once in awhile (I almost hate all kill now just cause its used in every single god damn league almost T_T).

EG-TL can possibly jump to 2nd place with a clean win here.

Zenio > (Z)

Sacsri

PuMa < Fantasy
TaeJa > (T)

JyJ
JYP > (Z)

soO

HerO < Rain
Jaedong > (Z)

s2

imo the deciding Game is Zenio vs Sacsri, if Zenio can pull out the win I think EG-TL will win 4-2 otherwise I think the
ACE (T)

TaeJa < Rain
SKT1 win 4 - 3

Doesn't look good for SKT.

In the sense that people won't like them when they beat up the fan favorites? Otherwise I'm confused.

Most probable outcome IMO:
Zenio <Planet S> Sacsri
PuMa <Arkanoid> Fantasy
TaeJa <Bifrost> JyJ
JYP <Cloud Kingdom> soO
HerO <Antiga Shipyard> Rain
~~Jaedong <Tal'Darim Altar> s2~~

I don't have much confidence in Zenio. He may surprise, but somehow I don't think so. Fantasy > Puma is almost a given, and similarily for TaeJa > JyJ. JYP hasn't looked very convincing lately. Sure if you get a proxy pylon in your opponent's base in pvp you will win, but in pvz vs soO on cloud kingdom? No chance.

HerO looked terrible the other day. The best case I can make for that play is that he has been struggling with illness or something that distracted him (I have no info, just know he played like shit), but even that would have eaten away at his practice time. Since his win vs Squirtle in code S his pvp stats are (in reverse chronological order):
+ Show Spoiler +

Dear 1 - 0 HerO (SPL)
Flying 0 - 1 HerO (SPL)
Parting 2 - 1 HerO (Blizz)
First 2 - 0 HerO (code A)
Rain 3 - 0 HerO (code S)

And as if that wasn't enough, HerO is known to suffer from nerves and EG-TL will likely need him to win to have a shot.

If it somehow gets to Jaedong he should win vs s2, and TaeJa in ace IMO has something like 1/3 probability of winning. SKT has players of all races on the level of or close to TaeJa (soO, Fantasy, Rain) so it will be much harder for TaeJa to prepare, and much easier for SKT to snipe him. If EGTL brings out someone else I don't see that working either. HerO can't really be used to snipe Rain in ace, and I doubt Jaedong is really ready for ace match yet.

Do hope we get all 5 games today atleast, maybe even better we get the ace match too. Come on EGTL!!!! Win this for gurantee top 4 finished (i think, with map score better than head to head right?)
