Why Jin Air Green Wings will win Round 1 Playoff of SPL
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,  Maru
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 +
Think Maru is their only weapon? THINK AGAIN YO. Remember this guy?
Now you may say, "But  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  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.
The face of a stone cold killer
Now I could keep going on and one about Jin Air's supporting players like Cure, Terminator, Pigbaby, and TRUE. But instead, I am going to discuss Jin Air's secret weapon:
Coca came out during the preseason and stomped all over 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.
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

You all are wrong, in my imagination and dreams Prime already won all upcoming PLs.

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.

Rain has the worst SC2 playoff record of any SKT member. I would not look towards him for victories.

I don't mean that. It is physically impossible to make it your 'favorite team', where you have ST logo, I have 8th Team logo, THERE'S NO JINAIR OPTION!!!!!!!!!

Approved, Jin Air got this. Screw the rest.

This is for the guy who makes me an Assassin Maru :D

I have faith in Jin Air, and this only reaffirms my convictions. Down with SKT and KT! :D

I really like Rogue. He should get a real team though. Like i don't know... KT.
Also your thread could have been legit if you didn't put sOs in the good player list.
And i didn't see a : "Ban me if Jin Air lose". But i know you're realistic. That's why you didn't ask

I am not quite on the level of confidence and fanboyism to ask for a long ban if Jin Air loses. Plus you're betting on the first seed, I am betting on the last seed. I should get better odds

It's ok, the odds will improve when Jin Air will stomp.

As far as I know, Maru hasn't taken a series of Soulkey in HOTS - and I see no reason why that trend won't continue after this round. SKT1 have this no prob.

Plus you know what they say about T1 zergs...

sOs will show the world how a true champion plays when it all matters, in the playoffs! GoGoGo JinAir! Since CJ is out of it I must default to the underdog JinAir against the mighty SKT (soulkey, rain paahaha could there be anymore chokers on that roster?)
