Pretty simple, folks. Fill out with half your heart (what you want to see happen) and half your brain (what you think will happen). After 24 to 48 hours, if I get a good outcome, I'll put up the results.

So, TL, who do you think will be the champion this season? Call it now.

The bracket:

Fun stuff! I'm really excited to see the results. Whenever doing Liquibets or GSL polls you only ever get one side of the vote so I'm excited to see the "heart" side. Thanks Fionn =)

Hoping for MVP vs MKP, think it will be Taeja and Rain.

The story between MKP and MVP would be just too good.
MKP can never beat MVP, so if he could overcome that for his first GSL win it would be amazing! + Show Spoiler +
Or MVP just stomps him again

I picked Rain for who I thought to win it all. I'm really not sure where his skill is though because I've only seen a few of his games, but he looks absolutely amazing.

Hopefully MKP at least gets to round of 4, I just love watching him play. Life is looking pretty damn good though so that should be a good match.

Now that I have put the idea of Symbol vs Life in the finals I will be disappointed if anything else happens. To be honest though it can't go wrong as long as all the toss get eliminated.

I kind of really really want to see Rain v. TaeJa again, since Rain made him look like a child last time it'd be interesting to see how TaeJa would handle the series. Also, epic revenge games ^_^

I would love to see a Leenock vs. MVP finals as well. Leenock is the most exciting zerg to watch IMO and I think these two would make a fantastic finals.

Agreed, I would love to see a MVP vs. Leenock Finals. However, my reasons differ. I want to see MVP finally defeat Leenock in an important GSL game. The last games I watched were Leenock knocking MVP out. Revenge! XD

whoever wins the semifinals between mvp and rain wins the whole thing imho.

taeja in the finals and/or winning it would be neat as well though.

This GSL seems to have the most fan favorites in RO8, even an poll like this is hard to vote for.

I want a MVP vs Taeja final, because TvT is always good, but I wouldn't mind to see HerO or Leenock.

I think the final will be Rain vs Taeja.

Please post the results regardless what they are.

I think a Hero Marineking final would be cool. They're both good enough, but particularly they're both VERY emotional when it comes to tournaments.

I would say MKP since he is obviously the weakest, but people still irrationally believe in him. Life?

My ro4 is Rain, Symbol, Taeja, Life.

My final is Taeja, Symbol.

Perhaps I should have done Taeja, Life?

I want Symbol to go far, but I think it's a tossup between him and Life to get to the final against Taeja.

Definitely.

Most exciting games would probably be MVP vs Leenock. Most interesting storyline would be MKP vs MVP. Predictions are impossible given the skill levels of players and volatility of SC2.

Nice survey Fionn

since some poeple are posting some of their choices.

Want: Mvp vs Leenock (if anyone was wondering why, go watch the vods of their previous gsl meetings)

Think: Rain vs Life / Mvp vs Life - was hard to decide, my choice ended up being Mvp vs Life (I like Waxangel's stance on never betting against Mvp in the GSL)

I think Rain got incredibly unlucky to have to play Hero, if he gets anyone else I think he makes it to ro4 but Hero's micro and PvP is just too good for him to beat imo. I think Symbol beats MVP and sets up a sick ro4 vs Hero. Leenock vs Taeja is tough to pick but Taeja is running hot right now so you might have to think he's the favorite, but it could go either way. I don't think MKP or Life are good enough to take out whoever wins in Taeja/Leenock, so I think they would definitely make it to the final.

I think there's a decent chance there could be a Liquid vs Liquid final and I'm pretty certain at least one of them will make it.

yes, but unfortunately, HerO is known for his shaky pvp...

i'm not saying that i want him to lose- its the opposite

Hero, Symbol, Taeja, Life advance from the ro8. Taeja over Life, Symbol over Hero in the ro4. Symbol beats Taeja 4-2 to become the Season 4 GSL champion.

Only one I'm not sure about is MVP/Symbol. MVP can be a beast in bo5, but I feel like his wrists are gonna hold him back in ways a player like Symbol is too good at abusing.
A man does what he must — in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers, and pressures — and that is the basis of all human morality.

I think whoever wins Symbol vs MVP will have the best shot of winning it all. If not one of those two, then Taeja.

I'm thinking it will be MVP in the end. People talk about his wrists, but it's really his neck that causes a lot of his problems. And even with his issues, he has been playing amazingly. Perhaps he can rest a bit, and make sure he's at his best for the matches.

Other than that, MKP obviously. But despite my platonic manlove for MKP, I have to give Taeja a better shot. So MVP vs Taeja for epic TvT finale. Rain on the Royal Road would be amazing as well, but I still think it's going to be a TvT.

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.

So basically you are just trying to get an info advantage over everybody else, then you can manipulate anyway you want.

And what's wrong about my vote? I believe Rain and Taeja are the best, and I happen to like their styles also. I think it's pretty common in TL right now. And the polls are so simple, no need to spend time at all.

It's MKP's to lose if he beats Life but Life is the only person out the 8 to only drop a single map so I believe it's the winner out of that match

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.

I'm cheering for Symbol, followed by HerO/TaeJa (liquid fighting!).

I'm scared of Rain, and Leenock. Leenock looks positively killer right now.

If Rain hadn't beat Parting 3-1 the other day in OSL, I would bet Taeja because Hero would beat Rain. But I think Rains PvP isn't as bad as the stats say because I think it's only bad from when Kespa first transitioned over. Rain Taeja finals, rain takes it all.

I want Taeja to win and I think he has a good chance... but I wonder if that's a bit hopeful. MKP. Just such a spoiler. That TvT is goin to be tough and I dont know enough about Taeja's tvt vs his gorgeous tvz and smart tvp.

Never saw Rain's games and ZvP should be a zerg's match to lose so I would expect Symbol to make it.

Gah. Feel like Taeja is gonna get knocked out before the finals and we'll be hearing about it.

I'll quote myself from a similar thread:

On September 29 2012 19:29 HaXXspetten wrote:
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

Never really called myself a fan, but I always end up secretly rooting for Leenock. I think he has a pretty good chance here.
Otherwise I would have to give it to Rain, he seems extremely solid.

If I could only get my epic HerO vs Taeja finals I'm happy
Although in the top half of the bracket as much as people glorify MVP this season and I'm not saying he can't do it (we doubted him last time) he himself has said that he is not up to par with the level of skill. At least that's what he said in his ro of 32 interview. I feel as if that the likely person to get to the finals will be the winner of Rain v HerO. Both of them have displayed incredible pvt and I feel are stronger in the match-up than MVP. Also in the situation that Symbol advances, again I feel that either of those two are favored.
As for the other half of the bracket that one is hard to call. I'll take the safe bet and say Taeja but with the way Life's playing that could be difficult. Also I wouldn't count out Leenock in their ro 8 match. Oh yeah and MKP's well MKP... ^^

I want Taeja to win and I think he has a good chance... but I wonder if that's a bit hopeful. MKP. Just such a spoiler. That TvT is goin to be tough and I dont know enough about Taeja's tvt vs his gorgeous tvz and smart tvp.

Never saw Rain's games and ZvP should be a zerg's match to lose so I would expect Symbol to make it.

Gah. Feel like Taeja is gonna get knocked out before the finals and we'll be hearing about it.


PvZ is where Rain first became famous in his phenomenal performance in WCS Korea. He took down some amazing zerg players such as Leenock 2-0, Jaedong 2-0 & Curious 2-1. I'll link the videos below if you want to see him, although since then, he has improved so much as this was when KeSPA first transitioned over, and back then he didn't have Boxer coaching SKT1. In the GSL, Rain showed his strength in PvT beating strong terrans such as Byun 2-0, Taeja 2-0 & Polt 2-1. His only seeming weakness was PvP, however he recently beat Parting 3-1 in the OSL RO8. Here are his WCS KR videos, but again, not a show of his true strength since this was awhile ago...

Rain vs Leenock


Rain vs Jaedong


Rain vs Curious

Taeja and Life are on the same side of the bracket.

Wow, so few people voting for MKP. That's cool, if he wins the championship and I got the other predictions right, I could get rank 1 liquidbet :D.

Interestingly, every player I wan to win is the player I think will win (at least has the most chances, because honestly every one of these 8 guys could win the whole thing, they are all monsters in their own way).

hoping for hero-taeja finals, expect a hero-life finals which life will win... life's played all 3 races this GSL and is 2-0 against Z and T and 4-1 against two good PvZ-players in Seed&JYP, so he's prolly gonna own everyone with his chaotic style
also dont see how people think leenock's going to get to the finals, im assuming life will beat MKP and life's beyond-nestea-tier in ZvZ so unless leenock becomes god he would lose there

Want: All-Liquid Hero vs Taeja finals.

Expect: Rain vs Taeja rematch, or MVP vs Taeja; Rain's a beast but it's just so hard to bet against MVP in the GSL, the guy pulls wins out of a hat. Especially if Hero manages to knock out Rain (which I'm hoping for), I think MVP's chances of going to the finals are pretty high (though I don't know much about Symbol, I hear he's sick good).

Want and Expect: Taeja to win it all, he's been on such a tear lately and looks unstoppable. TL Fighting!

I feel there are so many good players, upsets could happen at any time if the stars align. I can only say who probably WONT win it, but just cause an upset here and there, and not actually win the whole thing.

Rain vs Hero
I'm not an expert on PvP but I think most people were expecting Parting to beat Rain. I imagine a lot of people were also expecting Taeja to beat Rain and that didn't happen either. The games I've seen from Rain seem on another level to other Protoss players right now. It would be a mistake to underestimate his chances of winning this whole GSL - let alone beating Hero in PvP.


Mvp vs Symbol
Despite being the most accomplished terran in SC2, i've been surprised by every win that Mvp has earned this season of GSL. It's not a matter of skill, or intelligence or preparation - it's a matter of condition. 'Surely he can't win *again* with the state of health he's currently in?'. Yet, in the Ro32 Mvp proved me wrong beating MMA twice. Then, in the Ro16, I'd be proven wrong again as he beat MKP 2:0 and JYP 2:1 to emerge first in the group. There were no gimmicks or great instances of luck. Mvp earned his place in the Ro8.

Symbol is a dangerous zerg and my head says it's his series to lose. Beating Mvp completes a run of stomping Code S IM terrans. On the other hand, I can't help thinking Mvp is going to surprise me again.


Taeja vs Leenock
This is probably the easiest pick for me. Leenock is a great player but Taeja's play - particularly his TvZ - makes even the best zergs in the world look weak. He has an 80%(!) win ratio against Korean zergs in 2012. 3-1 in Taeja's favour.


Life vs MarineKing
Then the hardest prediction for me. Most of my experience with these two players tells me they are 'unconventional'. In other words, they play unusual, off-the-wall unique styles. MKP has settled into more standard play recently but still possesses an aura of unpredictability. 11/11 (scvs or not), mech, Taeja levels of macro greed; MKP does it all. Importantly, though, MKP has demonstrated legitimate, high levels of play despite the occasional gimmicks. Yet Life is on a real hot streak with all the momentum in the world after a second place finish in TSL and this incredible run through the entire GSL. This is tough one to call but i'm predicting 3-2 in favour of Life.

First time I've ever written down prediction like this...it's pretty hard, (though the fact that all these players are so good might have something to do with it).

My money is on life. I don't see him losing anytime soon, and his play is perfect for the BoX format.

Maybe rain, but I expect Hero to beat him in the Ro8.

Rain's PvP is simply beastly, HerO will have to play in the best condition he'll ever have to beat Rain. Mvp vs. Symbol will be an interesting match, since both these players are sick good. Mvp will win if he can play mech because Symbol simply tears Marine-tank in neat slices. TaeJa vs. Leenock seems obvious, but remember that Leenock won MLG Summer Championship even though not many people predicted him to do so. Life vs. Marineking is simple, if MKP plays his best then he has a good chance. If he doesn't, he's out.
Let's say Mvp wins versus Symbol, Rain vs. Mvp will not go well for Mvp considering Rain's playstyle versus Terran. I predict that Mvp's going to have to cheese in one game. Let's also say TaeJa vs. Life : They're both strong in the same district (extremely solid play) so it might go either way. It will probably go to the 5 game, so who's going to be affected by nerves first will fall out. I say Life will take it, TaeJa might cheese and Life is very good at defending that.
The finals might very well be Rain vs. Life, which I want to see. Then we'll see who has the better practice schedule.
TL;DR : Rain will take the title against Life, both of them proving what they're made of.
I sleep more than koreans practice.

Unless MKP finds his TvZ form from earlier in the year and takes out Life in the ro8, I can't really see him (Life) losing from here on out.

Rain vs Taeja final seems very likely to me, and Rain already humiliated Taeja so I wouldn't be surprised if Rain wins it all.

Rain is a surprisingly common pick to win. He's a good player but I disagree that he is the favourite

Rain is playing Hero in the first round, which is sure to be a tough match after how good hero looked against squirtle.
Rain is playing either Mvp or Symbol (more likely I think) next. Symbol has already beaten both Protoss finalists from last season (MC and Seed) so far, and has looked textbook. That is a tough match. Mvp would be tough for another reason - he won't let Rain play his comfortable macro style. Mvp is also the guy who simply knows how to win and if Mvp beats Symbol then Mvp will be in relative good match form, no matter what his interviews say.
Rain is playing the best player out of Taeja, Leenock, Life and MKP. Rain has looked beatable in TvP (look at the Happy games) and Taeja and MKP rank amongst the best TvPers out there (even if Rain did beat Taeja). I don't see Rain walking over Life or Leenock either, as they also are excellent. Leenock has beaten Hero, Squirtle and PartinG this season and Life has beaten JYP and Seed.

I think Rain is a contender, but he is not the clear favourite IMO.

Rain - Hero:
meh PvPcannot be predicted. Rain did whop Parting lately, but overall not enough has been seen. Beating HerO would secure him a spot in the upper echelon of PvP. But I really have no idea who takes this one.

MVP - Symbol:
Never count Mvp out, but this should be Symbol's to grab. I don't know who to cheer for, because Symbol is interestung amd Mvp's path to his fifth win equally interesting. Leaning towards Symbol for the better semifinal (I don't see Mvp standing a chance against Rain if he advances.

Leenock - Taeja
Leenock chosen for his high cuddly-ness factor and because he displays 1% more personality in his interviews compared to the other 7 ro8 players

Life - MKP:
I don't care much about this one. The only interesting story is if Life can continue his great form. I however think MKP wins it if he brings stable play Atleat I have not seen Life's play versus the best terran and I'm still not truly convinced that he is an upper tier zerg.


For the championship I hope for Leenock the most followed by Symbol and Mvp.

Heart:
HerO vs Rain
Mvp vs Symbol
Life vs MarineKing
TaeJa vs Leenoc

HerO vs Mvp
TaeJa vs Life

HerO vs TaeJa (HerO needs to win something too)

Brain is completely undecided, I am unable to predict any of these matches, they are all so insanely good. Although a TaeJa vs Rain final would be probably the most likely.
Sadly I cannot acces to document anymore, no vote for me.

I've followed GSL from the first season and can honestly say this is the most exciting ro8 I've laid witness to. If the games just marginally resembles the players' caliber, we're in for some superduper starcraft!

Personally I'm rooting for Symbol, loving his over the top macro plays. He has some kind of aura around him that gives him that 'champion' feel, maybe I'm the only one with this kind of view haha!

Taeja vs Symbol finals would be sick!

This is really hard, though with people in the current forms they are now,
I guess the winner of the Taeja - Life Bo4 Will win the tourney.
unless Rain continues to stomp everyone from out of nowhere and takes the whole GSL
Im not familiar with BW so Rain for me is totally unknown, untill i saw him dominate in his last group 2-0, 2-0 iirc.

Oh man i wanna see MKP vs Life match so bad that will be AWESOME games!!!!!!!!
My heart says Life or Taeja, but im afraid rain will go kick ballz

Heart and brain both say hero vs taeja. As for who wins it? I love them both, but I really want to see the smile on hero's face after winning the toughest sc2 tournament in the world. Imagine his reaction after winning dreamhack, but 10x more. Hero/Taeja/Liquid fighting!

Kinda sad no protoss, but I don't see any of these two protosses making it to the final.

how would it be sad if there is no Protoss. It assures we don't have to watch PvZ, PvT or PvP which is only a good thing.

wow I just realized there have been 4 Protoss in this years GSL finals (1 Terran, 1 Zerg). A non Protoss final would be incredible no matter who is playing.

Symbol v Life
Mvp v Taeja
Life v Mvp
Lennock v Mvp
Symbol v Leenock

Seeing how Rain basically stripped TaeJa in the groupstages I wouldn't be too confident about it.

Overall I see quite a few interesting final scenarios.

Rain vs. MKP / Life / TaeJa / Leenock:
A Kespa player reaching the final stage of GSL in the first season!

MKP vs. MVP:
A classic match for MKP to lose ;-).

Leenock vs. MVP:
They had great games previously.

HerO vs. TaeJa:
TeamLiquid on top of the world (I don't hope this, we have too many TL hipsters as it is ).

Symbol vs. MKP / Life / TaeJa / Leenock:
Symbol fighting for the championship he was made out to take last season falling to Seed.

Probably more potential story lines or interesting matchups out there. All in all this season promises interesting games and therefore we should expect the worst GSL final of 2012 (thats how it usually works with GSL ..).

I hope MVP can somehow win this GSL, it would be amazing if he'd have 5 titles. He would be unbeatable almost for sure.

Don't see Nestea/MC getting five any time soon.

But imo we'll see rain or taeja take it.

I must honestly ask why people keep saying this. Yes, it'd be a Liquid' finals, but TaeJa and HerO have a tendency of running into eachother in just about every foreign tournament they both decide to participate in and it very rarely lives up to the hype, what makes you think this one will?

I think Hero is a slight favorite against Rain. I'd like to see a TvZ or TvP finals though, so MVP vs Life/Leenock or Rain/Hero/Symbol vs Taeja/MKP.

Both my heart and my head say MVP. Honestly there isn't another player even close to MVP's level. If MVP is feeling good none of these 7 can stop him. If he is in particular pain maybe Rain or Leenock can beat him.

So lets pray that he is in good shape over the coming weeks.

My heart's really pulling for Marineking, I feel he's the absolute underdog here, would be so amazing if he steps up and delivers <3

From the head....could see either Taeja, Rain, Life, and maybe Mvp taking it.

The cool thing about SC2 is that there is no guaranteed better pro that cannot lose 100% of the time. So, regardless of whether or not he's in top form, anything can happen :D

Besides, six of the seven he could play are definitely threats if they face him (sorry MKP but you're a free pass to mvp D: ), so I don't know if you can say with certainty that one player is going to stomp like that.

Unless a player is on a tear. Then they're a wrecking ball.

Well TaeJa showed he can beat him. I feel all these 8 players are on an equal level with TaeJa, Mvp and Rain(althoug I don't quite understand why everyone is hyping him up this much, surely he crushed his Ro16 group but at the Ro32 he was vulnerable) maybe standing a bit out, Life is worth a mention too, he hasn't dropped a set yet. But the other 5 are easily able to win this as well.

I think Rain got incredibly unlucky to have to play Hero, if he gets anyone else I think he makes it to ro4 but Hero's micro and PvP is just too good for him to beat imo. I think Symbol beats MVP and sets up a sick ro4 vs Hero. Leenock vs Taeja is tough to pick but Taeja is running hot right now so you might have to think he's the favorite, but it could go either way. I don't think MKP or Life are good enough to take out whoever wins in Taeja/Leenock, so I think they would definitely make it to the final.

I think there's a decent chance there could be a Liquid vs Liquid final and I'm pretty certain at least one of them will make it.

yes, but unfortunately, HerO is known for his shaky pvp...

i'm not saying that i want him to lose- its the opposite

Although yes, HerO is known for his shaky pvp. He has expressed much confidence in the match-up as of recently and actually feels "lost" in pvz. He has also displayed this growth by defeating Squirtle twice since their round of 4 encounter and on the first time in the mlg open online qualifiers he had to beat a string of something like 7 pvp's. So I would definitely not count HerO out.

Hero to PvP is JYP to PvT. I mean he can win a pvp i just dont see it happening. I can see MVP taking his 5th if his wrist are not hurting him to much. I mean MVP is just a monster if they dont hold him back. Would love to see MVP vs Leenock finals, i enjoy a good PvZ.

Rain > HerO
Mvp > Symbol
Taeja > Leenock
Life > MKP

This is what my head says but I do not know that much about HerO's PvP or PvP neither.
Mvp should outplay Symbol but the zerg player really impressed me with his win over Seed. I guess there is a lot of potential in him and he showed us that he is capable of beating top players. Additional to that Mvp seems to have some problems with his health as I know (not sure bout that).
Taeja is in really good shape and I haven't seen Leenock play that much ZvT in the last months although his matches against TheStC at MLG were really nice. On the other hand Taeja was in Ro8 2 times before and did not make it through so I think this will be the closest one.
Life is on the royal road now and he played very outstanding games in many cases and it seems that he has such a variety of builds that he is the most unpredictable player out now in the GSL. Combined with MKP who has not really impressed me the last time Life is here my clear favorite.

But I think every player in this Ro8 is strong enough to go to the finals.

Poor Hero.
Bug Fixes Fixed an issue where, when facing a SlayerS terran, completing a hatchery would cause a medivac and 8 marines to randomly spawn nearby and attack it.

Clearly a double royal road final, with the gentleman who gave a shout out to his teacher taking it all

It was MKP who didn't have votes at the 104 vote mark. He got two more right as I said that, though.

Hero has been really hard on himself recently (even though he's in the ro8) so I really hope he wins. TL final if I cross my fingers but I feel Taeja vs. MVP, or MVP vs MKP. Taeja should win it all if he gets to the finals I feel.

Rain > Hero (x2)

Symbol > Mvp (x2)

Want: TaeJa > Leenock, Think: Leenock > TaeJa

Life > MKP (x2)

Rain vs. Life (x2)

Think: Rain, Want: Life

hmm... let's think about it

Not really, he's nowhere near as dominant as he was at the beginning of 2012 and is marginally worse than everybody else in the ro8.

Rain and Life have argument for top 2,

HerO and TaeJa are the Team Liquid duo of terror,

Symbol is mother fucking Symbol,he has the best macro and decision making of any zerg i've ever seen,

Mvp.... Mvp. Mvp. M. V. P.

Leenock plays his own style and does it amazingly

But who knows, maybe he'll win this season, but I doubt it.

Life vs Rain would probably be one of the most hyped up finals. This is definitely a sick top 8 though.

Hope: Symbol vs. TaeJa, winner Symbol.

Realistic: Hero vs. Life, winner Hero.

Realistic alternative: sPcThePotato vs. sPcE.Coli, winner spCE.Coli.

Both my heart and my head say MVP. Honestly there isn't another player even close to MVP's level. If MVP is feeling good none of these 7 can stop him. If he is in particular pain maybe Rain or Leenock can beat him.

So lets pray that he is in good shape over the coming weeks.

Well TaeJa showed he can beat him. I feel all these 8 players are on an equal level with TaeJa, Mvp and Rain(althoug I don't quite understand why everyone is hyping him up this much, surely he crushed his Ro16 group but at the Ro32 he was vulnerable) maybe standing a bit out, Life is worth a mention too, he hasn't dropped a set yet. But the other 5 are easily able to win this as well.

Its one thing to beat MVP in a bo3 when nothing is on the line.
Its something else to play a bo5 against the God of Sc2 in the elimination stages. Taeja is just not at a comparable level. Rain could be but we don't know it yet. Leenock could do it but not if MVP is healthy.

Rain also says he has been performing better in tournaments than practice, and he's a bit unsure as to how he keeps winning. I'm sure it'll catch up on him soon enough.

Taeja picks build orders just like Mvp, I would like to see who would come out in a bo5 if Mvp is in best health, Taeja would win hands down right now though.

My heart wants rain to win, but my brain says Taeja. Raining being the first Kespa GSL champion would be so awesome..

(referring to"Rain being the first Kespa GSL champion would be so awesome..") For me it's the opposite I do not want him to win at all costs even him making the finals would make me sad, I never watched BW so I want GSL players to destroy kespa players. I do think HerO has a good shot vs Rain #1 because it's pvp #2 hero's pvp has become one of his strongest match ups(all his match up's are strong now) before his micro was made him win pvp but he never had execution now he has the execution to go along with it, overall a pretty even match.

Thanks Fionn, will be cool the see the results of the poll.
