So, Prime's definately got a shot here. Although I think that overall gameflow favours Samsung And perhaps Prime's even got the edge in ace with the awesomeness of (Go)Jila
Kal and Creator will crumble under bl/sh/infestor, Stork will win his first game in SPL.
3-0 Samsung ezpz. Prime is really doing unbelievable things - even against Samsung KHAN, team which was considered as 6/7 place in SPL, we can predict easy 0-3. Sad.
Gojila going against the second villain zerg in a row. Hope he can he prevail. But I highly doubt it. KassiA and Terror gotta step up their game big time.
I'd like it if Terror actually won a game for a change. I took him as a two-pointer for FPL because he gets fielded every match, but it hasn't paid off yet =/

Unless you are KT, pretty much yes. TvT is quite dead in Proleague.

I meant building the MSC at the nat, that was really greedy. Had the MSC come out he might have had a chance to come back into the game, even if he lost the nat nexus.

Lose the natural, lose the game, doesn't matter where the MSC comes from

How so? Shine's own nat and tech was delayed, his drone count was low and he only had army. If Kal loses the nat the game essentially looks like a GW first vs a 2 hatch before pool game, not so bad for the Protoss.

Actually Kal is not a newcomer to SC2. He played in hybrid proleague for ACE, and if I remember corectly, took out innovation even. But he is a newcomer to HotS.

yep, I think a lot of other Z would have just crumbled under the mass VR, Roro was very smart how to react to it; constant ling threatening, taking the whole map, using mass Queen+Inf to battle eye to eye in the mid game and avoiding/stalling in late game was all very well practiced, I wouldn't be surprised if he said in the post game interview that he expected exactly this from Creator. Good play and preparation by Roro and Samsung here.

Well we can always argue that Kespa teams didn't fight esf teams when they still were strong. So if I would want to life in denial it would be rather easy.

It still doesn't achieve anything. And we could go on long enough on how KeSPA teams had way more time to establish a professional structure than eSF teams, especially one that fits the Proleague, a competitions eSF teams have NO experience at all in, how difference between players are quite irrelevant today as we have very good players from both organization, how eSF is on the decline and some of its best players are going to KeSPA teams (PartinG, Maru).

I disagree. Both of IM's matches were competitive and could've gone the other way several times.
Prime is a punching bag, but MVP and IM have only either played SKT and CJ who were probably both the strongest on paper coming into this season.

tbh when the new pl format was announced it seemed a bit silly to have maybe only 3 bo1s played in a match but damn i cant stop watching every clanwar from start to finish, somehow im totally hooked into this season
wolf and brendon are great, production is great, the mix of kespa and esf teams is exciting, everything is just awesome

CJ is hardly an improvement over Prime and MVP.
Sure they are. I think it's generally considered that they're underperforming so far. Prior to this season they were probably the 2nd most hyped team.

I've always thought his defense was only good as the game got going.
It feels like he's been cheesed more than he's been macro'd anyway ;o
