Can't really decide between Life and Maru. It really depends on Life's state of mind that day. His plays vs TaeJa were just not strong (hence the baneling detonations twice). However I do see him having a change if he just plays at 200%.
SoO doesn't stand a chance against Parting. I mean, Parting is currently just wrecking people into oblivion, If you check Partings standings vs Z in Proleague you will know why.
Gogo Parting
The last time soO and Parting met, soO won 3-1, and it's a GSL too.

People are gonna say Life was still jet lagged if he loses. Gogo Maru 3-2

Shouldn't Life have a quite good offline bo5+ TvZ win ratio? I think that might weigh heavier than Maru's recent awesomeness

International travel+minimal preparation time+strategy exposed at Katowice+sloppiness against Taeja

If we get both Zergs through, is that the first GSL finals in which the finals race distribution is known before the semi's are played?

Life / PartinG I think (and hope!)
Maru is decentTvP but his TvZ hasn't really impressed me all that much. Perhaps he just hasn't had the opportunity to impress, but he only just scraped by Hydra and Symbol, I think Life's stellar ZvT will get him over the line there.
Parting / soO will be a close match I feel. It'll either be Parting by a small margin or soO in a blowout if he can figure out partings plans.
Didn't even care about your opinion after that lol!
Maru vs Life will be really good. I feel that Maru's TvZ is his weakpoint but imo this series is really hard to predict still.
Life also looked kinda shaky against TaeJa, blowing his all banelings twice etc.
soO really is a random guy for me. One time he comes and just wins and other day he gets stomped like he isn't even close top lvl.
PartinG can also be bit on/off but I still feel Parting to take it but I think maps will be lot more to determine who takes this than Life vs Maru.
Maru 3-2 Life
Parting 3-1 soO

Maru is EASILY the best TVP player around, so yes, that statement was a bit odd.

Life is:
A) Unfazed by international travel (see GSL/MLG dual wins in 2012)
B) Not a player to require heavy preparation for opponents
C) A very stylistic player whose "strategy" is rarely strategy at all but rather a very particular brand of ZvT that was well known even before IEM Katowice. On that same note, I find it more likely that Life will face mech than bio against Maru.
This aside, his baneling detonations in the first game were due to a misbound hotkey. I won't argue against his engagements being less than optimal against Taeja (he has always had trouble with where he morphs his units, tending to overconfidence in the later stages), but Maru isn't as good as Taeja is in the match-up, especially not at playing bio.
Also, regarding by ban bet with Paljas: I won't be able to watch the games live, and I'd like to request that I'm allowed to watch Life beat Maru and make a post about it before Paljas is banned. The same, naturally, goes if Life has to forfeit or play without hands so that Maru has a chance at winning - I'd like to not be spoiled by my being banned until I've watched the games.

I think Maru got this one, Altough I am not sure haven´t seen his TvZ in a while.
And Life is dangerous in his ZvT! Will surely make for an interesting match!

Maru knocks out the last non-kepsa player
Soo got soul-trained
Then Maru got blink'ed.
I love PvP final just to see people rage on forum.

You don't actually have a preference for ex-BW pros, just KeSPA players in general?

I want Life to win but I just looove seeing Maru's TvP. and the way Life's ZvP has looked lately.. I'd prefer a non mirror matchup final.

Just kespa in general, kespa is the group who organized and made e-sports succeed, until Blizzard came and wanted a piece of the pie.

I hope Maru and PartinG wins. I don't really care for any of the players left really now that sOs and herO are out. So i'd like to see Maru win. Rain I guess would be OK, and Zest is OK also but meh, not my favorite player.

Terran Hopuuuuuuu maruuuu
