I can't believe that Ulrena is the map that's being played twice.

Well, they can only field 4 players. That already means 1 of Dream/Inno/soO/Dark/Classic goes to the bench. If they then field MyuNgSiK first, that means 2 of the big names are benched. Which sounds like a bad idea. And you can see from the playoffs so far that each team fielded one of their best players first. KT sent Stats twice, Afreeca sent aLive and Jin Air sent sOs. And now we somehow ended up with MyuNgSiK vs Cure on Ulrena.

Of course, Classic hasn't been doing too well lately so he doesn't really deserve a spot in the lineup and it makes sense for SKT to then send out their next best Protoss.

I think probably dream/soo and classic will be benched for skt. I can't imagine them not using innovation and dark if it comes to that.

My guess? INno and Classic is going to be benched
my dream: either Cure or Maru all kill
or sOs reverse all-kill SKT
I want JinAir to win this so badly

I will forever root against SKT, but you have to give it to them for swag status. With how deep their high end talent goes, it's inconceivable that they don't make the upcoming 2nd and 3rd round playoffs (and will be favored in each) while easily qualifying for the season ending playoffs.

Myungsik, lest we forget, has had success in PL before in limited roles, is currently in the RO16 GSL, and is living/practicing in the most stacked team house in the business. This is not at all like sending out a clear unknown such as Zoun, as many here are suggesting.

Cure has high end talent when he's on, which is always the key variable given his inconsistencies. Should be an entertaining match. And I think SKT is smart for being confident enough in their greatness to let a lesser role player get prime time reps. In order to build confidence for the all-important season ending playoffs when you need to know exactly who you can trust when you go six deep (and they obviously already know their first five).

Even if Myungsik implodes (like against Maru last year when he was utterly embarrassed and made to cry), it's little sweat off SKT's back, and the potential reward (huge confidence builder/increased supporting role) far outweighs the almost non-existent risk to them.

Have to hand it to Oov. Really didn't think he had the chops in 2014 w/ their failed superteam. But he's really demonstrated since the beginning of PL last season, that he knows how to instill confidence in his guys and has repeatedly put them in positions to succeed and grow as players.

Guys, be realistic ... we do not have much chance. The only single performing player on our roster is Maru and he is not a star against Zergs, primarily against two great Zergs. Our only advantage is surprise - both sOs and Rogue can surprise the opponent and win a match against anyone. sOs is not at all the killing machine, he was in HotS and it will still take him some time to become that. And Rogue was struggling a lot, but is definitely on a rise. Maybe, we could surprise them with good performance of Cure, according to some players the player with the best form from the whole team. If he takes out Myungsik, that would be just awesome!

We're toast, you can kinda tell since SKT fans don't even need to do anything.

They can just post one picture from last year's finals celebrations and we'd all be silenced.

That would be a nice business deal, but I don't think, they would agree :-)

Notice in his prediction Jin Air won without needing their 4th player aka Maru.

Yes. Notice that in his prediction, he did not choose to send Maru as the second or third player.

So basically these two teams are going to start with where they have left over from week 6, is that right?
BO15 series for SKT vs JA? Then JA is already in a 3-0 lead
sOs is THE ONLY player I pay attention to
