I have Fantasy > Rain Hydra > Zest (really surprised that the majority picked Zest on this one) Innovation > Life Dark > Taeja (this is such a toss up... who the fuck knows? I picked Dark thinking Taeja likely won't be in his best form) I don't blame anyone for picking Rain over Fantasy or Life over Innovation or especially Taeja over dark, but I can't believe that so many think Zest will beat Hydra. I think that's very foolish and people are stuck in the past when Zest was arguably the best toss in the world. | ||

I can understand your opinion on the latter, but I'm curious, why fantasy over rain? | ||

I don't know any player at all that can even stand a chance at beating Flash. Maybe if Life gets out of his slump, he can possible beat Flash. Other than that, Flash is looking unstoppable right now. Remember when Taeja pretty much won the IPL Team League by himself? Well Flash is better now than Taeja was back then. Flash fans actually believe this :p | ||

Flash fans actually believe this :p Naah, I'm sure even Flash fans know that this is exaggeration. I've seen far greater exaggerations from Flash anti-fans than Flash fans the last couple of months. It's quite clear that Flash is capable of better than what he showed in the first round of Proleague, so I have to assume it really was a mental block for him. He seems to have somewhat recovered, but it would still be a major surprise if he would be in the finals here. But it's dangerous to ever count someone out who went 65-17 (31-4 in matches) against top Korean opponents in the span of 2 months. Rain/Dark/Zest/Life for me. I just like 4-letter names. Also, I wanted to say I love the OP for having all these graphics. Seeing them all getting ready gets me pumped up for the games as well. | ||

Reading through the thread, it appears that TaeJa's poor showing at NSSL and GSL contribute to the poor viewing he's getting on whether he can survive Dark and make it to the Ro8. If we go by the last time TaeJa took a break and let his wrists heal, he was a force to be reckoned wit (IEM Toronto and I think HSCX). He hasn't been in many tournaments and has had a lot of time to heal and get better. I think he makes it through to the Semis before faltering, but he has as good a chance as any, especially in weekend events such as these. | ||

Well Flash is better now than Taeja was back then. I mean, his mech is coming back, but it's still not quite wcs good. And aside from that we haven't really gotten a chance to see much. It might be that he is still slacking everywhere else. Who knows though, maybe the comeback really is real and Flash will be able to pull off a massive upset. Anyways, here's my predictions: + Show Spoiler +
