Air Force ACE and KT Rolster finished the last season as last and first, respectively. This would quite probably be one of the least anticipated matches of the proleague, if it weren't for the recent 4-0 smackdown of Air Force ACE and the seeming vulnerability of Flash vs. Best in the first match of the season.
Do I expect ACE to win this? Absolutely not. Flash showed his true colours in his matches against HiyA and a thorough demolishing of RorO. foRGG, Stats, Violet and Action should be enough to give any team a serious beating, especially if Action meets a Terran like Ruby.
What I do think is that ACE has a good chance of taking it to, well... Ace. This wouldn't be the first time Much, ggaemo, Ruby or YellOw would pull a significant upset, and if M18M meets up with either ForGG, Stats or Violet, I would put the chances at 55-45. firebathero is still a big questionmark, as his current performance might have well been a really lucky game. He still has a really depressing slump behind him and a single win doesn't just erase all of that.
In total (optimistic):
Set 1: RuBy < Aztec > Action
Set 2: YellOw < Circuit Breaker > Stats
Set 3:ggaemo < Icarus > Tempest
Set 4:firebathero < Fortress > Flash
Set 5: M18M < Central Plains > Violet
Set 6: Much < Empire of the Sun > fOrGG
Set 7: RuBy < Benzene > Stats
KT Rolster wins 4-3.

Please note that a lot of people lost the stream after the midsection of Game 4. Thus the venting option from game 5 onward.

Disqualification of Ruby, apparently due to pressing cancel after the Start button was pressed by the observer. Vent here.
