[SPL] SK Telecom T1 vs KT Rolster

I like to look at the team as a whole before giving my specific prediction.



SKT used to be "the" team. They used to be the team to beat in the Starcraft pro scene. While they have indeed fallen from that grace, the question is how far have they fallen? First of all their strongest player isn't showing promising results. After a vacation Bisu has come back to SKT in hopes of reviving all of our fears that he hasn't fallen as the king of Protoss, but with a recent loss to Juni and overall.. just unimpressive results.. one begins to wonder. But the bad news doesn't stop there.. one team can't be completely carried by one player, every team has those players that shines when you need them, and for SKT that player used to be fantasy. While he isn't doing terrible, in my opinion, he is not the League Terrorist he once claimed to be. The final nail in the coffin? The death of a 2nd dragon, BeSt. BeSt used to be a scary protoss to play against, but he is showing the weakest results of the 3 players that used to make up SKT's main roster. In fact he is the only one who I think I can say is doing flat-out bad. With a recent 0-3 loss to Woongjin Stars (the most well-rounded and scariest team in my opinion), SKT just doesn't look as strong as they used to. But the potential is definitely there... here is to hoping that SKT comes back to life soon! Especially you, Bisu...



What is there to say about KT Rolster? Everyone thought they were a team that was placed on Flash's lone shoulders. In my opinion, that view has changed for most people. KT's strategy used to be, "send Flash, win 1, hope that someone else on the team wins, okay Flash ace!" Very similar to OZ's strategy last season. But things have changed recently. fOrGG, Stats, and Violet are showing their true colors. And they are now contenders to be messed with. KT is no longer the "Beat Flash" team. They are a full team that deserves recognition. Expect to see some strong play from fOrGG, Stats, and Violet tonight, and even stronger play in the near future.

Hyuk < Grand Line > fOrGG

SKT is going to send out a zerg. The question is, which zerg? They could send out Hyuk, n.Die_soO, or s2.. I just chose Hyuk because I think hes the best choice out of those 3. I don't think Protoss like this map, and I don't think they are going to send out Flash in the first match. Thus fOrGG becomes my logical choice. fOrGG is the stronger player currently, especially with the scalp of Jaedong in his recent Zerg kill list. So he wins.

Bisu < Fighting Spirit > Stats

Man I hope that its Bisu vs Flash. I think this map is one of those maps that people like to watch games on. I think its the perfect set for an epic game. And I hope that these two meet and Bisu comes out victorious. Unfortunately, I don't see it happening. I'm pretty confident that SKT will send Bisu here, the question is will KT send Flash or another Protoss? I'll go with another Protoss. Bisu wins with amazing/brilliant play and begins his ULTIMATE REVIVAL! (One can dream...)

fantasy < Roadrunner > Flash

This map is incredibly strong for Terrans, so it is time for Flash to make an apperance. Sorry League Terrorist, Flash is Flash. Flash will win this map with dominant play. fantasy might try something cheesy, if he does win, it will be by anything but a standard TvT.

BeSt < Polaris Rhapsody > Violet

Not much to say here, both team's last line of defense come out to play, and BeSt comes up short... again...
