Awwwww shit.

These two teams, starting way back in the beginning of this season, I don't think would have stood out as the two best in the league. Really excited to see what they can show us.

Damn. Soulkey vs Innovation has the potential to be awesome but I still think it's bad for WJS. wish they could burn a weaker player on him and use Soulkey to pick up a win somewhere else. Gotta hope for the Soulkey upset, now.

This is going to be an amazing match. Can't wait for Soulkey Innovation. Was hoping that WJN would send out Light though, but also excited to see Bravo. WJN got a tough battle here, but I'm hoping they will win this!

Simply not true. Straight from his mouth:

I don't think I'm going to lose any practice time just because we have a Proleague finals coming up. I plan on preparing extensively for both tournaments.

Yea, it's perfect clash for STX unless Soulkey will come up with something surprising. Generally it looks good for STX.

this is actually the best lineups possible with only 2 PvPs and S v I. (maybe except the absence of Light)

Sick, cannot wait! It is obvious WJS gave much though to the lineups. Predictions:

BrAvO <Akilon Wastes> Mini
Soulkey <Whirlwind> INnoVation
sOs <Korhal Floating Island> Dear
free <Bel'Shir Vestige> hyvaa
ZerO <Newkirk Redevelopment Precinct> Trap
Flying <Neo Planet S> Classic
Light <Naro Station> Innovation

(Ok, I guess Soulkey will go to ace and then lose to Inno, but this would be more awesome :p)

Also, I can see ZerO easily winning vs Trap, cause he is actually REALLY good, but Trap has a VERY scary PvZ (even hotugh I think he is not very good player besides that PvZ..)

Soulkey vs Innovation will obviously be the highlight, but I think overall Woongjin's deeper line-up will be too hard to crack for STX.

Does the format allow for the ace player to be someone who hasn't played in the previous 6 games? I remember the format for one of the previous seasons or rounds didn't allow that.

Because of the hype. The grand finals are exactly what it is - the grand finals. One match with everything on the line. You either win, or you fail. It creates more tension and the players have more to play for and more pressure on them. They know why they do it for 10 years already :p

I think Light being Ace would be really cool. I can actually see it happening. Their best shot at beating Innovation in an Ace match is simply sniping him with a strong TvT build. Innovation will need to dedicate most his practice vs Z since Soulkey is too good. Basically sending out Light in ace would allow both him and Soulkey to practice one map one matchup.

Should be good. Not really rooting for either team, so just hoping for good games - which there should be plenty of in a Proleague final.

Does the format allow for the ace player to be someone who hasn't played in the previous 6 games? I remember the format for one of the previous seasons or rounds didn't allow that.


Well it happened in regular season, I guess it can also happen in playoffs. If they didn't change some rules for playoffs, but I don't think there is any reason to.

maybe this is the reason why bogus lost his ro4 match. PL is more important to them

Because of the hype. The grand finals are exactly what it is - the grand finals. One match with everything on the line. You either win, or you fail. It creates more tension and the players have more to play for and more pressure on them. They know why they do it for 10 years already :p

They switch around sometimes tho.

STX can definitely take this.

Bo1 seems a bit weird, but I think Soulkey v Innovation will be sick (hopefully twice)

No, Innovation said he was preparing extensively for both of them, and even that PL would not hinder his OSL practice (subtle difference from OSL not hindering PL practice).

Light is so weak vs Protoss that I thin it makes sense with the number of toss STX uses.
Light only has a 33% win rate vs toss in SC2 http://www.aligulac.com/players/1707-Light/ and STX is pretty much guaranteed to use 4 protoss per match so it's a pretty big chance he would probably just lose if he came out

edit:
actually I just found out Bravo is horrible against Protoss, too. http://www.aligulac.com/players/722-BrAvO/
I guess Bravo looks better in practice?

this can go either way. WJS has the slightly stronger team i'd say but STX seems to get a good lineup with innovation at TvZ and Dear and classic at PvP.
If i had to bet i'd still go for STX just because of innovation. Just too good of an ace for a potential ace match since WJS lacks a good terran to snipe him there. If it comes to an ace WJS probably still goes with SK or SoS which i'd heavily favor innovation against. I don't think innovation will be too much influenced by his humiliating defeat in WCS, he only has to focus on this now.

I have a feeling this will go to the ace match and STX winning 4-3 or they might win before with 4-2. I think INnoVation, Trap and Classic will win their games. Dear might pull the upset. Lets hope for an exciting final

Should be a sick finals!

I'm just hoping that Innovation is back to top form in time. If not could be an easy victory for WJS. That Soulkey vs Innovation game should be ridiculously good regardless.

Interesting to see Innovation being "wasted" on the only clear Zerg map of the whole series, but I'm pretty confident their coaches know stuff I don't.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Mini matches up well with Bravo and Classic versus Flying won't be a walkover. I'm rather pleased with these match-ups.

my prediction:
(T)BrAvO - (P)Mini
(Z)Soulkey - (T)INnoVation
(P)sOs - (P)Dear
(P)free - (Z)hyvaa
(Z)ZerO - (P)Trap
(P)Flying - (P)Classic
Ace match:
(Z)Soulkey - (T)INnoVation

Yeah, right. Soulkey gets revenge in Ace match. Wouldn't it be awesome?

I don't really know what Bravo really worth but Mini is kind of bad in PvT and Akilon is slighty T favored. Tough call.

(Z)Soulkey < (T)INnoVation
Team Bogus

(P)sOs > (P)Dear
SoS is a PvP Beast.

(P)free < (Z)hyvaa
Free isn't that good at PvZ hyvaa is gonna cheese the hell out of him I guess

(Z)ZerO < (P)Trap
Trap doesn't lose against Zerg and newkirk is slighty P favored


(P)Flying > (P)Classic
Really hard to call I'm betting on Flying for the sake of ACE MATCH more freaking bogus !

Soulkey < Bogus

I think its very obvious that Innovation is weak to cheese plays. He lost his first match of the playoff to a cheese, and just yesterday lost to Maru 4-0 with three being very good cheese plays. I think this is why the coach is sending him off in Whirlwind to avoid the possible cheese strats that could happen in smaller maps.
Ofcourse if they do go to ace match the last map is very possible that they expect innovation to play and prepare a super cheese strat for him.
I think it will be close but WJS will take it.

Unless they prepare really sick cheeses, I'm almost sure Bravo and Zero are gonna lose their games. Games 2, 3 and 4 could go either way I think. Classic > Flying.

Because the best ZvT player versus the best TvZ player is a world class match up? Because SK actually has a winning record against Innovation on whirlwind? (2-0 iirc?). Because SK is the most likely zerg in the world to be able to make Innovation the TvZ beast bleed in a macro game?

Having Innovation lose twice would be just like the BW proleague where Flash lost to both Fantasy and Bisu to have SKT T1 win it all.

Seconding this. It seems bizarre. I guess the thought process is that it condenses all of the showiness and drama of the finals into one night? But if that's the case, why have the other playoff rounds be anything other than bo1? Seems really really silly to me.

And wasn't that a beautiful ace match to end BW . SKT best KT after all.

In this case, it's the battle of the acronyms lol.

poor performance vs Maru. He played spectacularly bad against Maru.


Cool line up. I feel like I haven't seen zero in a while. I'm excited to see how he plays.


Innovation doesn't care Ro4 WCS korea... he wants Proleague finals and WCS season finals championship :D

I don't think I'm going to lose any practice time just because we have a Proleague finals coming up. I plan on preparing extensively for both tournaments."

Because the best ZvT player versus the best TvZ player is a world class match up? Because SK actually has a winning record against Innovation on whirlwind? (2-0 iirc?). Because SK is the most likely zerg in the world to be able to make Innovation the TvZ beast bleed in a macro game?


In SPL Round 5 (allkill format) they faced each other on Whirlwind with INnoVation as the winner. He also won on the same map in the code S finals so I think INnoVation has a 2-1 record on that map against SK.

I do think the match between them 2 will decide the outcome of the finals. Gogo STX.

Seconding this. It seems bizarre. I guess the thought process is that it condenses all of the showiness and drama of the finals into one night? But if that's the case, why have the other playoff rounds be anything other than bo1? Seems really really silly to me.

Champions League is also BO2 (home and away) till the semifinals, the grand final is a BO1 as well, this format adds the risk of everything on the line and the prestige of winner-takes-all, I don't see a problem with it. Proleague has been like this for like 10 years.

I wonder if woongjin are thinking about sending out a terran for the ace match after yesterdays OSL match. Cant say I have a clue about their terran players but if soulkey is beaten once again by innovation I think it is possible.

They have always been bargains in FPL with a couple of great games but never really escaped obscurity.

That's simply not true at all. ZerO is very good, imo at least at the same level as Hydra.

BrAvO <> Mini
Soulkey <> INnoVation
sOs <> Dear
free <> hyvaa
ZerO <> Trap
Flying <> Classic

Soulkey <> INnoVation

And then, INnoVation is once again the best in the world...
And Soulkey's Soul would have been stolen by STX Soul...

Gogo INnoVation!
