I think it's a lot better like this even if the all-kill games are bo7.
Gogo Startale!

Unless he took some weird flight then yes, he will be back in time. Different story if he feels like playing though since he will land when it's (from estimates) like 11am Tuesday in Korea. So depending on how tired he feels will determine if he is playing or not.

I agree the whole best of 3 separate matches is really cool. I just think bo9 all-kill is far superior to bo7. For example, since Startale is sending out Panic first, it means they have to play without either Avenge, Bomber, Life, or Curious. It also takes away some of the sniper strategy because it's not worth it to send out a sniper if he's a quarter of your lineup. You typically just send out the 4 best guys you have.

I hope Symbol's feeling well because I don't like ZUBU's chances without him.

They don't want him to play until the Finals so he doesn't build up hype before disappointing everyone

this'll be a lot tougher for startale with no bomber.

Hoping for ST now that fOu is out I guess. Let's go Life~
+ Show Spoiler +fOu only lost because there is no flares/flairs/fares/bears/that-icon-in-the-bottom-right on TL clearly. If TL had added it so I could show my support then they would have made it for sure. Definitely 322%. I blame it on TL.

Is Bomber gone for both matches?

I don't see how Startale can lose this. Startale to win by 2.

Given that he was in California for WCS Grand Finals, it's possible it just made more sense for him to stay in the US rather than fly back and forth to Korea for a week. It's also possible that red bull has some plans that they need him around for (they took him skydiving before--they like doing events for their players).

This is the main reason I bet Startale for the first match. Doesn't even matter if Bomber is there or not Life, Curious, and Avenge can hold down the fort against a Zubuuu with a weakened Symbol (less he handles jet lag well)
or can they?! o.o
Startale really has a knack for choking in the end when they really shouldn't. First team to lose to Soul :p. I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt one more time.

Interesting to note the players for match 2 are already selected, and the starters for match 3 are also already selected.

Also interesting is that the finals are played across 2 days, with proleague format first then all kill, and the ace match is a single game?

Round 1: 4-3 Azubu Round 2: 4-2 Azubu :D
ST's lineup is Panic and the I would guess 3 out of these 4 (Curious, Life, Avenge, Hack) Azubu is Ragnarok then who knows. 3 out of (B4, Sleep, Center, Patience, SuperNova, Jet-Lag Symbol, maybe even Vines?)
I think it can go either way depending on who gets the hot hand. ST definitely has the name power, though.

Worth noting that Startale is on a 4 match losing streak, and didn't win a single match with the Proleague format.
