I think things hinge heavily on Maru vs ByuL. I give it to Maru because I'm expecting a mech game. ByuL and Zerg's anti-mech abilities are still a little too shrouded to give me much confidence. If Maru goes bio, I think ByuL can take him.
If it goes to ace I expect a ZvZ. CJ will likely send ByuL since he's never lost on Expedition. Jin Air is likely to go with Rogue, but sOs is also a possibility.
Ugh, hard one to predict. sOs > herO Maru < ByuL Rogue > Hush Cure < Bbyong
sOs > herO
Would be perfect for my FPL, however I'm not sure if sOs is still capable of proxy gating herO. Plus I actually I like CJ more and like herO, but CJ did well enough this season so here I'll cheer for my FPL so I get into the top 100. ^^
Looks like JAGW needs to take at least two maps to secure second place for the round.
My ideal scenario: first two sets are tense and go 1-1, Rogue wins against a semi-successful cannon rush in a truly absurd low-tech game, and with only CJ's amazing win streak on the line, Cure vs. Bbyong is the TvT of the year. Then Maru loses to a scouted proxy oracle in the ace match, and the salt is overwhelming. Jin Air get their second place, CJ get their 7-0, and the LR thread devolves into hilarious, awful chaos.

They were for sure expecting a Protoss or Terran.
Rogue has to have prepared something extra, because Deadwing without SH is pretty bad for ZvP/ZvT, IMO. Probably timing push on third with vipers(duh, like saying SCV pull )
Just a curious question - is the WoL "fast Hive BL build" still viable? Because I can imagine broodlords sieging main/4th from the air - it is pretty hard place to defend. Even the 3rd can be sieged from distance and blink stalkers are not helping in defense... (I don't play zerg as my main, so I am not sure how much is this possible but I know it would drive me crazy as a Protoss player )
herO can sing "It's not about the money, money, money" or "Shake it off, shake it off" all he wants, but when facing sOs, the shadow of the IEM World Championship final they played will stay with him for the rest of his career. I still remember the two TL editors saying basically after herO didn't scout at all in the 3rd game after getting beat by 2 proxy 2gates,, they "knew from then on that herO was an idiot".
That being said, sOs is in a PvP slump right now. 1-3 against Protoss this year in Proleague (his worst matchup, losing to San, Creator, and the other HerO), blown up by Dear 3-1 in SSL qualifiers last week, lost to Rain 2-0 in one of the KeSPA Cup qualifiers last weekend.
So the first game can go either way, and probably be as fast and as ugly as any PvP.
I like Bbyong in his matchup, but the rest seem like toss-ups to me. No idea about Hush's level of play, but Rogue's ZvP has looked lackluster lately.
Should be a good series, hope it goes to Ace match on Expedition Lost. That map is a Zerg playground and I'd like to see Byul picked over herO if it gets there.

Life sold his soul to KT to hold the Iron Throne and this year for the first time looked emotional about games (to the point of shedding tears after losing). He took from Mvp the burden he can't handle.

At least Jin Air tried to send him.
SKT stabbed Bogus in the back where even in his weakened state he'd of probably been better than Dream or Classic and gotten the single win to put him in the Kespa Cup.

Yup KeSPA is so good that they have to pay to original SC2 players do their exposure.

Not worst performing but them getting 6th was severely under performing at least. People were hyping CJ up and they bombed pretty hard that round. Obviously since then they've been right up the top though.

Proxy reaper is map dependant and relies on the zerg's greed and lack of scouting. Usually zerg don't die of it. But usually zergs don't go hatch first on a remote gold mine.
As for the 5 rax reaper thing, IMHO it was not a 5 reaper that Maru did, he just went for a double proxy and decided to finish the game with 3 more rax when he saw he was doing so good. I suppose his initial transition (in case ByuL managed to survive the initial attack) was facto into 2-3 CC like everybody does usually...

I'm speculating here but I would say that if zerg gets a decent mass of speedlings or even a decent mass of slowlings with creep a bit spread out or with a little bit of queen support, then the reapers can't do a thing. So in this case, it was all about Maru being super aggressive and maintaining the zergling number low.
