Why Jin Air Green Wings will win Round 1 Playoff of SPL


[image loading][image loading]

I couldn't find a recent team picture, at least one not including their LoL teams, so enjoy a logo and a picture of a plane


In response to a sadly misguided and naive post about how "KT is going to win proleague", located here, I have decided to do a little writeup for the team that is actually going to win the Round 1 playoffs: Jin Air.
Now you may be saying to yourself: But Darkhoarse, Jin Air had the worst record of all the teams that got in to the playoffs. How can they possibly win starting from such a disadvantageous position? And their ace is Terran?! It just doesn't seem that there's any way they can win! Well allow me to tell you how they can.

Let's start with the obvious one: The Former Marine Prince who has ascended to the throne, (T)Maru

[image loading]

This is the player who gives Protosses nightmares


This is the player who is almost single handedly makes David Kim thinks protoss is struggling against Terran. Boldly standing his ground in both Proleague and GSL, Maru is going to shine in the all kill format. Plus, how can you resist just how damn cute he was when he was 6 and a half years old playing in the GSL? + Show Spoiler +
[image loading]


Think Maru is their only weapon? THINK AGAIN YO. Remember this guy?


[image loading]


Now you may say, "But (P)sOs is struggling in PL!" And to that I say, yes! But he struggled in the later seasons of WCS last year right up until this one tournament at Blizzcon. Sounds like a guy who can turn it on at the right time, and that time is now.

Then you have (Z)Rogue, a player so stealthy no one is even realizing how fucking good he is, and that he is in the top 10 in wins and win percentage in PL right now.

[image loading]


The face of a stone cold killer


Now I could keep going on and one about Jin Air's supporting players like (T)Cure, (P)Terminator, (P)Pigbaby, and (Z)TRUE. But instead, I am going to discuss Jin Air's secret weapon:

(Z)CoCa

[image loading]


Coca came out during the preseason and stomped all over (P)Stats. However, he wasn't fielded once in round 1. Is this because he isn't skilled enough to make the starting lineup? NO. Can't you see? Jin Air has been cruising through proleague so far without even playing Coca. Now, with his builds hidden and his skills unknown, he will descend on the playoffs and allow Jin Air to win round 1.

[image loading]


Coca is the true secret weapon of Jin Air.


For those of you who think KT will win:
+ Show Spoiler +
You're all just Flash Fanboys. Just kidding but still. Remember how many of your players got into Code S? Three, all protoss. Good showing guys! Plus Jaedong has to call out Flash to get his shit together so that their rivalry can still be a thing. Plus, the only team KT lost to this round? Jin Air. Check and mate my friends


For those of you who think SKT will win:
+ Show Spoiler +
Bet you guys think you're reeeeeeeaaal cool picking up Soulkey like that. You may think that just because Soulkey carried you to victory in their round 1 matchup you will be able to get passed Jin Air. Not this time! Maru can beat anyone on your team but Soulkey in OSL winning fashion, and sOs can always cheese out Soulkey if need be.


For those of you who think Samsung will win:
+ Show Spoiler +
I just feel sorry for you guys #freeJangbi


DISCLAIMER:
+ Show Spoiler +
I made some stuff up here and it is all in good fun. Coca probably won't get fielded. Still HYPE. Also FFW_Rude come at me bro

I'm not quite sure why people even care about who wins Round 1 when CJ is already locked for the championship

I was about to say this, but I still want Jinair to win this round.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

That's the spirit

Here's one I made for Prime almost 2 years ago. So strong back then.

The thing is that even if Maru is good enough to take Rain out T1 (with their 7 Code S players) will have at least 2 Code S level players ready to snipe him.

Every mod but Shellbot would've warned me for a low content post and probably taken it down.
