But I'm unsure how it'll go. In HotS I'd have backed sOs but in LotV he's not doing too well against Protoss. However, CJ is risking a lot sending out herO first, because I doubt anyone else on the team can beat Maru.

ByuL might have a good shot of beating Maru with the Queen buff
herO first might be baiting Rogue early so they snipe him and hope ByuL can beat Maru

Possibly. But even before the queen buff RagnaroK looked better against Terran than ByuL did so I don't really like his chances for now. Although MC did say he was confident in ByuL, maybe the slump is coming to an end then.

I guess it makes sense CJ would be willing to risk everything since this is do or die for the rest of the season.

The map is KSS, so I think Jin Air counted on herO to be there, as CJ's pick. So myb they send out sOs, cause he got a cheeky, crazy tactics for the match.

Why? They are guaranteed 1st seed for season playoffs, this is not a very important match for them, I am worrying more about sOs and Rogue's GSL games next week

they are guaranteed top seed if they win this, if they lose and KT win they are tied on points, besides, I want Afreeca not CJ in playoffs and that still happens in Jin Air shuts CJ down here and now

No, they are guaranteed 1st seed no matter what, like I pointed out in another thread before, the maximum points KT can get after round 3 is 263, but obviously 263 is less than 273.

Seems incredibly stupid to start with herO again. He should be saved to try and take on Maru and Cure. I'm thinking sOs necksnaps him early again.

herO first again?
I don't think MC can pull off another miracle. JAGW is on a whole another level. I'm assuming a 4-2, 4-1 victory here for JAGW if herO goes down early.

Except Jin Air, who've beat them in the round playoffs twice this season.

As well as 2/3 times in the round robin.

Ah, so sounds like they already counted the +10 they are guaranteed to get no matter what.

No, he is right, doesn't matter who wins here, because all JA has to do is to watch KT and SKT fight against each other before season playoffs grand final and kill anyone who is up. So I hope they will have fun then

That's right, so the maximum total points KT can get is 233+30, not 233+40

well if skt doesnt get their shit together their will not be much of a fight in the past season before KT and JA meet each other. jes I am KT biased but in SKTs current shape they will be sloughtered. Dark ist the only one not totally down and in the past weeks he didnt look that good 1-5 in proleague. I worry the matches till KT vs JA will look a bit like Zest vs Hush or Stats vs pet and even as huge KT fan that was hard to see. not for children eyes for sure
