Doesn't it say 17:30 KST? Also, will there be an hour of pre-show like last time?

Game 1: Delta Quadrant
The players will spawn in close positions. Since they are close positions this map is just like Steppes with rush distances. Most likely we will see some type of All-in with SCVs from Rain which will easily give him the first win.

Game 2: Lost Temple
We will see the same great timing push Rain did against Genius except on Lost Temple. Tanks, Marines and Bunkers! Nice and slow push, nice and easy win. MC does get some Void Rays out but there are too many bunkers/marines for them to matter.
TSL_Rain <2-0> oGsMC

Game 3: Xel'Naga Caverns
Here we will see a replay of MC vs Jinro. Rain will be going early Thor while MC goes for DTs. Doing this means MC will take the win quite easily.
TSL_Rain <2-1> oGsMC

Game 4: Steppes of War
Refer to Game 1. Short distances + How good Rain is at early pressure = Good for Rain. Expect MC to hold Rain off for a little while with a couple forcefields but will eventually let too many units in causing him to have to GG.
TSL_Rain <3-1> oGsMC

Game 5: Jungle Basin
Rain is going for the amazing Banshee harass! Problem is MC is well prepared for this and all those resources and time Rain put into Banshees sets him back. He then goes into Defensive mode and doesn't try anything too risky. MC is able to keep Rain on 2 base while MC only has 2 base as well. Eventually MC gets his 3rd in the middle of the map and starves Rain out.
TSL_Rain <3-2> oGsMC

Game 6: Blistering Sands
Late game, Blistering Sands sucks for Terran. We will most likely see this end early. Expect lots of early MM pressure, early concussion shell for the marauders makes picking off units and kiting those zealots this early will be too much for MC to handle.

After MCs last zealot falls and his probes are getting destroyed we will see him face palming himself on GOMTV realizing he has lost the finals. 2nd Place is still very respectable and still the highest placing protoss in a GSL so good job to him and Congratulations to the GSL Season 3 winner, TSL_Rain!

Final Score
TSL_Rain <4-2> oGsMC

Just curious, didn't they say on a few casts before that the GSL would start 2 hours earlier? What happened to that, did they just decide to go back to regularly scheduled time? Just making sure...
