vs Hwaseung OZ vs CJ EntusWednesday, May 19 4:00am GMT (GMT+00:00) on MBC
So normally for a match like this, I'd give a bit of hype. Now that I'm a writer though, I can be lazy and copy-paste things from the most recent PL article! Mwahahahaha! Hwaseung OZ vs CJ EntusI lied when I said that FOX vs SKT would be the match of the week. FOX utterly destroyed SKT, and is going to leap ahead of them in terms of spots. In fact, SKT may drop out of the top 6 this week... maybe. OZ and CJ both have already had one match this week, and CJ beat KT and OZ, in Jaedong OZ-ian fashion, lost 1-3 to eSTRO. After OZ lost, I was like "well, there goes their chance at getting into the 6 spot", but then MBC demolished Stars. I'm too lazy to calculate now, but I believe OZ should still be able to jump to 6 or at least get very close. I'll check later and update then. Update: yeah OZ gets close. + Show Spoiler [Current Standings] +1. KT 31-10 0/1 31-11 41 -1 = 40 2. STX 29-13 1/0 30-13 21 +1 = 22 3. MBC 24-17 2/0 26-17 13 +4 = 17 4.

Oops formatting sucks. Anyway, onto the match itself. Tonight brings to head two great Zerg powers. One, Jaedong, is tearing through May like no other, in typical post-April-Jaedong fashion. The other, EffOrt, is currently coming back into form with a bang. I'd argue right now that EffOrt is the #2 zerg on the scene, and Jaedong is the #1. ELO agrees with me as well: Jaedong is at 2314 (#1 zerg and #2 overall) and EffOrt is at 2210 (#2 zerg and #4 overall). Both are sporting monstrous winstreaks right now, with Jaedong on a 9-game run through an undefeated May, and EffOrt on a new record of 12 games, beating top players in convincing fashion since that disaster of a tiebreak. If the two go head to head, that'll be the match to watch, for somebody's getting c-c-c-combobroken tonight. And what if it goes to Ace... That'd be a good match as well. Hatcheries will tremble, KingsQueens will cower, and the sky will be filled with fire if and when these two Zerg powers meet.While CJ is the deeper team, OZ is on the upswing (kind of). Lomo is cute and HiyA is... well, not doing so hot recently, and even though we haven't seen him much recently, I still believe in Killer. If even one other member of OZ can deliver, we'll be seeing an Ace match. And even though I'd normally call for a Jaedong OZ Ace match victory, with EffOrt back in the action it'd be quite hard to call. Of course, being a Jaedong fan I'm going to say 3-2 OZ, but you never know... After all EffOrt (and Snow!) did just recently crush Flash in their 3-2 performance earlier this week.

Since eSTRO recently beat OZ, clearly the best match tonight is eSTRO vs KT.

CJ prepared really well to beat Flash 2-0, curious to see how they'll handle Jaedong.

I guess then the better question is whether Oz will show up, or whether CJ will divide into two teams and play exhibitions against themselves.
*rim shot!*
Just kidding. Actually, HiYa and Lomo (oh god, Lomo) can be tricky sometimes, and CJ always brings it's A-game against top teams and players like KT, but sometimes can suck against teams it might be favored against.
Hope for some good games!

I was so impressed by CJ's play last series against KT. I can't wait to see what they do tonight. I don't know what they have planned for Jaedong in the ace match, if it gets there, but it will probably be a zvz.

Bahaha. If Snow destroyed both Jaedong and Flash in the same week, the world would end.
It's not going to happen, seeing as Snow's PvT != his PvZ, but a CJ fan can dream.

Snow's cute. But Jaedong is hot. Man I wish I had that Fomos picture loaded right now. Oh well. ...
Also a ZvZ Ace match between Jaedong and EffOrt would be interesting... For some reason I feel like it wouldn't happen. Snow vs HiyA?
|
Jaedong vs Snow is not something you'd want to watch. Have you watched a single JvP since 2010? It isn't pretty (for the toss).
As long as JD gets his game i'm happy but his semi is comming up which is a problem. Im betting he REALLY doesn't want to be sent in an ace since it might mean he has to ZvZ (vs effort maybe) which would require revealing a strat perhaps.

CJ, since you beat KT you better also beat OZ!

Hiya won't get sent to snipe EffOrt after EffOrt beat Flash. I think we're in for a ZvZ ace match.

yet another reason to send Effort.

Wait am I misunderstanding the OP or is there no way for Oz to make top 6? because that would suck!

And then OZ sends Killer? Oh no... that'd be slaughter. Sending a Terran vs EffOrt on Match Point, in the same vein, might force EffOrt to play without revealing a strategy.
