the games seem pretty onesided. the only close game is Maru vs TY.
if Maru wins JA wins, if TY wins it will go to ace.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

I'm not sure about Cure-Trust and Trap-Zest tbh.

Yea that's my thought process. Just needed someone else's opinion because I would always choose sOs

I took the safe route and chose Cure and Zest. But I could easily see those games going either way.

As long as cure plays non cyclone I think Cure will take it as he still has more exp and solidity in his matchup.

That's what I'm leaning towards as well, but at the same time Trust is quite good against Terran so I wouldn't be surprised if he won. KT entrusted him (no pun intended) with the opening game of the most important match of the year, after all.

Looks good for Jin Air, but finals are finals. Who knows!?

Why no Zergs
(ZvZ last place on overgroth does not count!)

The only other Zergs on either team are HyuN and Losira. In which case I'd also tell Losira to go play Olimoleague instead of putting him out in the Proleague finals.

All things considered I'd say Jin Air got the better end of these lineups. If Zest hasn't recovered yet KT is probably boned.

True.
I guess I just didn't wanted to face it :p

This will be amazing finals!
I still don't understand, how some people can choose TY, the second best terran in the world. Whenever he was playing against the best terran in the world, there was always a clear result ...

But the other matches ...4-2 for Jin Air.

I feel like this is pretty good for KT. Not sure what the others in this thread are seeing. We are sacrificing our weakest player to sOs and the rest of the matchups are all winnable. And as long as Zest, Stats, and TY don't crumble they should be just fine.

Stats is the only KT player with an opponent I expect him to beat. Maru-TY is the closest game in the entire match and Zest has been nothing short of disappointing recently. sOs and Rogue are hugely favored. Trust could beat Cure but it would be an upset.

Zest got lucky. He missed both creator and rogue.

It would sad to not see JAGW not winning after all the efforts and the great season they made, but draw looks doable for KT.

Also, jjakji hype! Announcing a 2 base cyclone tank push.
