Predictions:

I like to look at the team as a whole before giving my specific prediction.
Hwaseung OZ.... you disappoint me at almost every turn, yet I keep coming back to you. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Hwaseung OZ is hands down the most fun team to watch play(fanboyism ). Every single freakin' match they play seems to come to an epic ace match or a completely disheartening letdown, no matter who they are playing. Every match seems to play out this way... and I guess that is why I keep coming back. The thrill of the game. Anywho, Hwaseung OZ... what do they have going for them? Jaedong obviously, and I don't want to talk to much about him, because people seem to know what place hes in. He is above the general average, but below the Jaedong average. Although he seems to be making a comeback as of recent. That is all I'll say about him. What else do they have? HiyA, obviously. He has been playing a lot stronger as of late, in my opinion. And I think he will show he is a dangerous Terran to underestimate. On the other hand... both Killer and Lomo have been not showing the promise that I want them to show. And I think this is where OZ begins to fall off as a team. One of these two need to step up and take their place as the 3rd player on OZ's roster. Which will it be? My bet is on Killer, but it may very well be Lomo. Who knows.
Samsung KHAN is a pretty strong team. They definitely aren't the powerhouse they used to be, but they still have some deadly potential. They still have Stork and JangBi who even though aren't in top form, don't need top form to tackle most of the opponents in their path. They are still major threats and are players to be wary of when making predictions. Overall, Samsung KHAN is doing okay. Which is to be expected with their 2 strongest players in their current form.
HiyA < Roadrunner > great
I don't think KHAN wants to risk sending one of their Protosses out on this map, and I think they know that HiyA is coming out here. So they send the Zerg who is 3-0 against HiyA, great, to combat him. HiyA decides to change their record a little bit.
Killer < Polaris Rhapsody > JangBi
I think both teams are saving their strongest players for as long as they can. So, I expect to see a Killer vs JangBi match, which should be a good match out of these two, but JangBi will come out on top in my opinion. JangBi is still a strong player, and I am so disappointed in Killer... what happened to our rising Zerg star?
Lomo < Judgment Day > Brave
I expect Lomo to come out here for OZ. The question was who would come out for KHAN? Besides JangBi and Stork... there is a lot of room for mystery. I finally came down to decide between firebathero or Brave, and I rolled the dice in favor of Brave. Game is a toss up, I go in favor of Lomo.
Jaedong < Match Point > Stork
Same map, same players, epic match incoming. Jaedong has a score to settle with Stork, and even though I love my little Dinotoss, I think that Jaedong is coming to lay down the law. Expect nostril flares from Jaedong even when he is winning clearly. The only downside to this win... no ace match : [ Who cares though? Grand Line is a dumb map anyway! And one Jaedong vs Stork match a night is too much match for the common Starcraft fan anyway!
Hwaseung OZ 3 > 1 Samsung KHAN
