Leenock screwed up my picks for his entire run to the finals. AT every stage it was like, okay, yeah, leenock is good, but he isn't going to beat ~~Huk~~...errr ~~Alive~~...errr... ~~MVP~~. It aint happening again. As incredible as I think jjakji is (and I think he CAN take it), I can't pick him over Leenock this time.

Much like how ThorZain screwed up my TSL3 bets, now that I think about it.

Even if it was, I think AO is arguing that this would be bigger.

So Leenock just beat MVP.

The best Zerg that Jjakji has ever beaten is Losira, I would say. And that was a bo1. And Jjakji lost to Leenock 0-2 in last Code S, and Leenock is a lot better now.

All signs point to Leenock here.

Here's the thing.

Leenock will win

But Jjakji will put up a good fight.

No 4-0 this time, I'm positive

Leenock's the hot favourite...but JJakji is the Phantom Terran in name and essence. Who knows where his true level lies?

Btw, in Jjakji's TvZ he's beaten Leenock numerous times before. Of course, Leenock is beasting at the moment so I'm definitely voting him. But still, I would definitely not be surprised if the stage overwhelms Leenock more or his beastmode comes to a painfully dramatic end =/

Hope not, I am a Leenock fan. But Jjakji is...unexpected. And that always intrigues me.

Voted Leenock, hoping for some awesome Jjakji play, though. Kid's sick good.

If you want to move up a LOT of ranking points in Liquibet, now is a good time to consider voting Jjakji. From reading the thread here, and chatting with people, it seems like Leenock is going to get 80% or more of the vote. However, not many people truly think the odds are 4:1.

Take a chance on Jjakji, and if he wins you'll be up 7 points on 80% of the crowd. If you're trying to make it into the top 10, or top 100, or top 1000 - now's your chance to make a wager on it.

I think Leenock will take this 4-2.

I can't wait to see Leenock's parents at the Finals, they must be so proud of him as well as the fact he's still learning in school.

Leenock will take it 4-1. Won't be 4-0 because Jjakji will have some odd build that will catch Leenock off guard.

I don't want to count JJ out but man, oh man, is Leenock on a TEAR. I just don't see him being stopped this weekend.

At the beginning of the season, who would have expected these two for the finals?

Off topic, but I'd say San beating Nestea is the greatest upset in GSL history. Not only that no-one believed he would do it, but also in how he did it - in a long macro game, showing great strategy and multitask.

On topic, I think Leenock has to be the favoured player here. Jjakji could pull out a win though, stranger things have happened.
