An interesting tidbit from thisisgame.
Many famous Korean SC2 progamers were polled on who might win and why.

TSL.FruitDealer

Bets on: MarineKingPrime.WE Win, by 4:1 or 4:2

Comment: In the case of the finals, it is not something you know the results just by seeing the skills of the players.

Especially so, in such a big event like the finals, the tension is simply ridiculous. IMmvp does not yet have any experience being in a finals, and it will all boil down to how well he'll handle being there. It might just be a difference of one finals between the two, the experience difference itself cannot be ignored. Therefore, I foresee MarineKingPrime.WE to win.

IMJunwi

Bets on: IMmvp Win, by 4:1

Comment: There is no way to defeat IMmvp with just marine-based play. Of course, there's no meaning to the name of "Marine King" if he doesn't use any Marines. Even if he brings a totally new strategy never shown before, he will not break down the great wall of IMmvp.

oGs.TheWinD

Bets on: Unpredictable, 4:3 Close Game

Comment: I can't guess who's going to win. Both are the current top Terran players right now. Whoever wins, I foresee a close game of 4:3.

HongUnPrime.WE

Comment: I don't give a damn about a Terran winning. Next season, a Protoss will surely win.

Jong-uk Won (STARTALE Coach)

Bets on: IMmvp Win, by 4:2

Comment: Both players should know how the other plays at this point, but I believe MarineKingPrime.WE's playstyle is likely to be very easy to deal with for IMmvp. MarineKingPrime.WE has a speedy, aggressive timing push as his style. In contrast, IMmvp's playstyle is around overall, very sturdy gameplay. It looks to be extremely challenging to defeat IMmvp's sturdy plays using Marine-oriented gameplay. Seeing that, I expect to see IMmvp to win.

oGsNada

Bets on: IMmvp Win, by 4:3

Comments: As a person who have battled both players, I can say that they are both good. To compare, IMmvp can bring a scary decisive push, but MarineKingPrime.WE has a better overall understanding of the game in my opinion. However, in TvT, I personally think IMmvp has an advantage. So, I decide that IMmvp will win with his decisiveness and his sturdy plays.

choyafOu

Bets on: IMmvp Win, by 4:2

Comments: I've faced both players before, and I think that IMmvp plays better. I even fell Into despair thinking, "What can I do to defeat him?". Of course, MarineKingPrime.WE also plays very well, but still, IMmvp is just a bit more ahead of him.

CheckPrime.WE

Bets on: MarineKingPrime.WE Win, by 4:3

Comments: Within the Prime team itself, there are many Terran players such as MakaPrime.WE and HannibalPrime.WE. He can certainly practice with other teams, but the fact he is able to practice while sharing real-time comments give MarineKingPrime.WE an edge over IMmvp. IMmvp should not think that he is just taking on MarineKingPrime.WE. He should do well to think that he is taking on all of Prime's Terran.

SlayerSBoxeR

Bets on: Unpredictable, 4:3 Close Game

Comments: With recent plays and their momentum, I cannot predict who will win. Both players will certainly bring variety of plays, but I expect that in the end, we will see the end of 1 Barrack Double play. There won't be a lopsided results this time, and I foresee a 4:3 close match.

IMNesTea

Bets on: IMmvp Win, 4:1

Comments: It's clear to me that IMmvp has this. I've personally seen how strong he is in the recent finals in an event tournament. I don't think there's anyone who can defeat him. In fact, I had to put in more effort preparing for the finals vs. MarineKingPrime.WE than the actual finals match I had against him. To date, the best player -- including Terrans and everyone else -- is IMmvp, bar none.

oGsMC

Bets on: MarineKingPrime.WE Win, 4:3

Comments: It is very difficult to predict due to both players being incredibly talented. Both have excellent understanding of Terran race, as well as top play capacity. But personally, I want to see MarineKingPrime.WE to win. Don't you think achieving a second place two times in a row, a little cruel?

FOXMoon

Bets on: IMmvp Win, 4:3

Comments: Recently, IMmvp has been on a roll moreso than MarineKingPrime.WE. It is difficult to stop a momentum like that. In order for MarineKingPrime.WE to win, he must bring variety of tactics for every match, but even so, wouldn't it still be difficult to defeat IMmvp?

Genius

Bets on: IMmvp Win, 4:2

Comments: The results from the recent event tournament seem to tell ahead of time who's going to win. IMmvp of today is too strong. Only weakness he has is whether he can deal with being in the center stage of the finals, but I believe IMNesTea can help him with that. So, there is no weakness whatsoever for IMmvp this finals.

Thanks for translating. Fun read.

Hongun is funny.

Personally, I'm with TheWind. I can't really predict a winner, I believe either could take it.

Wow HongUn is a bit of a fool for that comment.. i hope it was meant as a joke but you can't really interpret tone in a written interview.. oh well..

I like this .. there is a lot of faith in MKP .. i thought MVP would be the favourite hands down.. oh well, it should be a super close series (i hope)!

Thanks for the translation

Hongun's actual comment is not that harsh though. Literally translated, it would be more like "I'm not interested in seeing a Terran winning", but the fact he didn't even comment on who might win, and his original sentence is on a condescending tone (따위 is used, which is to see something in a low regards or condescending), I decided my translation would go well with it.

MVP is probably the most solid player on Earth right now both with his mechanics and his understanding of the game, but MKP has his miracle factor and godly split second decision making.

I say MKP 4:3 or 4:2.

MC and MKP were teammates back in BW, I wonder if that influenced his decision anymore than just cruel of being 2nd twice, i also wonder if what MKP promised Jinro about winning had anything to do with it.

I agree with MC's comment. MKP please show that MVP isn't invincible.
