Hoping CJ can get it done, though I expect SKT will win. SKT vs KT in the finals it is.

I'm REALLY curious to see if Bbyong will once again pull out "his" mech build on Outboxer. The mind games will probably be strong on that map and I could see Bbyong going for early game shenanigans -especially hellions-, try to lure Rain into thinking he's going mech, or a lot of things like that. To sum up : can't wait for that one

Fanta for the ace match, I believe!!

Also, SKT posted a photo after the game and Sorry was in uniform, i find that kind of weird.

Betting hard on the non-a-listers to make this happen for CJ. COME ON COACH PARK, WORK YOUR MAGIC


Wow who put you on the strategy team and did they not tell you that Bbyong and herO are good players


you are going to eat your words when only the b-listers win and CJ 4-2s SKT1 and advances to the finals in a blizzard of glory

I really hope this goes to the ace game of the ace match, but that is surely too much to hope for. If it does, all bets are off, you'd have to say CJ are even slightly favoured. They would surely bring out herO again (superstar Bbyong has surprisingly never featured in an ace match), and SKT I don't think they will trust in soO again and I don't think they will entrust all their championship dreams to a volatile pvp against a pvp master like herO. So I think it would be Soulkey, who's been red-hot lately and also reliable as ace. But his zvp isn't unbeatable so there's just no perfect answer to herO for SKT.

(P)Rain < Outboxer > (T)Bbyong
For the third match in a row, Bbyong faces a top-tier Protoss on Outboxer. By now, I can only assume that Bbyong is being repeatedly fielded on Outboxer because he performs well on the map in practice, and because the map is best suited for his TvP mech play. There are two possibilities for this match:
  • Bbyong goes for mech one more time
  • Rain expects mech and plays accordingly, but Bbyong goes for bio instead, outsmarting Rain.

I have a third option:

3. Knowing that Bbyong may go mech or play upon the "things always come in threes?" theme, Rain gets an early Sentry to send a hallucinated Phoenix OR takes a non-obvious path with his first Observer so it doesn't run into the Raven.


damn, your idea about the OB dodging the ravens in usual pathways was spot on (even though the OBs were cleaned up)

CJ WINS


I think the most likely choice for SKT's ace is Soulkey. They'll expect herO, and you never really want to play your season on a coinflippy matchup, especially when you know herO's win rate in PvP.

Having said that, I would LOVE to see Gumiho in the ace match (IF there is one, pretty big IF). CJ could prepare him with 2 very specific builds, one in TvP and one in TvZ. Gumiho lives for those team league moments.

CJ fighting!

GODDAMNIT. Someone told me CJ won and spoilered me before I could watch VODS so I went and watched VODS expecting a CJ win and was doubly crushed :\ CJ you are wonderful, I love you still.

SKT 1-4 CJ

Sora won't win a thing

on the other hand, I said the same thing about effort during a certain proleague round playoff.
