I'm one of the two then. I think MKP's style matches up quite well against Life =/

Why don't just create polls here?

Liquid has this problem called 50/50 Syndrome. If there is every a poll even semi-close, there will be a movement to make it 50/50 so that someone can screen shot, post it on Reddit, and go, 'HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS EPIC POLL!'

Currently at 830 votes. A few I have to take out (I'm looking at you, Guy Who Spammed Rain to Win GSL 19 Times With The Same Results In A 60 Second Span), but the results are interesting.

I would like to see a Hero/Taeja finals, which isn't the craziest thing I've ever predicted

It would be a cool storyline, but teamkills usually produce whacky games that are based more on mindgames and stuff, and you learn a lot less from them; these are guys that practice PvT together all the time, they know one another's ins and outs, so it would be probably all over the place.

Predicting Rain vs. Life, want to see Rain vs Taeja rematch! Either way, I'm POSITIVE Rain is the Code S champion. I'd put money on it right now.

Omg Symbol vs Life would be the sickest GSL finals ever.

Ro8:

Rain vs HerO looks like a nobrainer, while I was surprised and sad that HerO beat Squirtle, it's still his weakest matchup and if you've been watching Rain this season, well then it's not hard to predict this one.
Rain 3-0 HerO

Mvp vs Symbol looks to be the most exciting series in Ro8. While I'll be cheering my heart out for Symbol, and while this series could go either way, my gut tells me Mvp will find a way once more, but it's gonna be close. On paper it sounds epic though.
Mvp 3-2 Symbol

TaeJa vs Leenock is definitely a must-win for TaeJa if he aims to live up to the nigh-unbelievable hype he's been recieving lately. Leenock on the other hand has been looking terrifyingly strong since the GSTL finals (with a little slump for a two week period or somewhere along the way), so this is definitely two players with a lot to prove on the line. That being said, I still feel TaeJa is the greater force to be reckoned with, but I wouldn't count Leenock out on this one either.
TaeJa 3-1 Leenock

Life vs MarineKing... well this is not gonna end well for the latter, I'll tell ya that lol. Life is one of the coolest players in SC2 and has always been so, yet this season he's not just a royal roader, he's also looking insanely strong, and if you saw anything from his ZvT the last round, betting against Life on this one seems nothing but foolish. Sure, MarineKing was able to upset Curious with some classic cheese but against someone as wonky as Life I'm more sceptical that'll be too effective. Regardless, I don't see much hope for MarineKing here.
Life 3-0 MarineKing


Ro4:

Rain vs Mvp should be a classic for sure, given how Mvp seems to be performing against the top tosses in GSL when it really matters lately, along with the fact that Rain has been crushing some serious face in his PvT (including dominating TaeJa) this should be a sickass series. That being said, Rain's performance earlier this season and the OSL makes it hard for me to bet against him, and I doubt even "Lord" Mvp can change that fact this time around.
Rain 3-1 Mvp

TaeJa vs Life is gonna be just as amazing, I mean just look at that lineup. Again, this series is somewhat of a coinflip, and I can foresee many different outcomes. However, TaeJa isn't looking quite as unbeatable as he did turing IPL:TAC, rather just a top player compared to an unbeatable one. Life on the other hand has been rising faster than Artosis' adrenaline levels during NesTea's spine crawler rush, and I it's hard for me to see much stopping him right now. Then again it's TaeJa, so if anyone's going to do it, it ought to be him. In the end, I forsee Life to come out on top, but it's sure as hell not going to be an easy victory for him for once.
Life 3-2 TaeJa

Finals:

Rain vs Life then... a battle of two royal roaders in the finals, meaning one of them is guaranteed to succeed with what no man has done before. Sounds a little too good to be true, but I can only hope. Fortunately, that specific matchup looks somewhat likely for the finals. As far as who's going to triumph, it's somewhat paradoxal as I can't really see either of them losing. However, my gut tells me this will be somewhat like the TSL4 Finals, and that Rain will somehow just make it happen in the end. Also, you know how it's like with StarTale players and tournament finals (god fucking dammit Squirtle ;_;), so I have a feeling this will be where Life finally crumbles. Also, he's such a young player, whereas Rain, despite being a royal roader himself, has tons of experience from Brood War, and will go into this finals with the mental advantage, and for me, that will eventually be what decides the outcome of this finals, but for once, I'll actually be okay with it, as it'll the fourth GSL finals ever where a player I like will actually win, because it'll be the very first one where I actually like both players participating in it. All-in-all, this season has been amazing, and it's not looking like it'll get any worse, but I think the trophy will end up in the hands of an SKT1 player, and for the first time ever... I'm totally okay with that.
Rain 4-2 Life
