As an Australian supporting the underdogs is a natural instinct. Hence today, I shall be supporting Samsung Khan to win it..
No but really, having such a deep lineup team8 hasn't been performing at all. It feels like the team is similar to Team USA's bid for Olympic glory in 2004. I remember the commentators saying that there was 1billion dollars sitting on the US team bench and yet they played badly and got the bronze. I attribute this to their changing their name from the "Dream Team" to "Team USA". On a lesser note a lack of cohesion amongst team members could also have influenced their play. When you have a team full of winners, they don't play for the team, they play for themselves.There is no pressure for players to perform if they are just hitting their performance criterion and winning games here and there.
BUT when there is team spirit players go out of their way to win because they don't want to dissapoint their team mates who worked so hard to help them practice!
I think this will come with time for team 8 but not this season. Hopefully some team spirit is built up and team 8 gives us a strong showing next season!

or maybe they just need to change their name to "Dream Team" to win (this is the sole reason the USA basketball team won gold in 2008 after learning their name changing lesson in Greece!)
Here are the predictions:
BaBy « Ground Zero » 
JangBiAll things considered, this mu heavily favours Jangbi both with recent form and H2H count (4:2). But knowing this, Baby will cheese like a swiss man that just ran out of chocolate! It will be epic, surgical and efficient. gg no re!
Killer « Chain Reaction » ShineShine is a zvz sniper with a whopping 66% winrate in the mu. Given Chain reaction is prone to zvz I feel that this would be advantageous to Shine against anyone but the dong in team 8. I don't think they'll send jaedong out unless they're 2 down or until the 5th match. But then again, the mu is such a cointoss so you never know!
Sea « Electric Circuit »TurNSea has been performing badly this season mostly due to getting protoss almost every time and korean players just seem to love cheesing him. But given that this game goes to the midgame ( I believe in you sea! ) I think that he has a really good chance of winning!
Jaehoon « Sniper Ridge » StorkEven though stork has
edit: Stork has come out on this map and is currently 2:0 pvz...whoops...research fail. Albeit, stork hasn't been sent out on this map since the start of the season! Hence my stance on January convincing him to go out on snipers ridge still stands!
Jaedong « Outlier » GrapeIf anyone remembers the epic MSL matches between Grape and Jaedong you'd be as excited as me for this mu! They were absolutely epic games and I'm sure if it comes down to the ace match we'll see something similar! My heart says jaedong but my brain says Grape on this one given Jaedong's recent lack of performance this season. All we can be sure of is that it will be a game to remember!
8th 3: 2 Khan

Team 8 Looking for Their Third Consecutive Win, Must Have an Answer for Protoss
- Team 8 looking to get their third consecutive win when they face Saumsung
- Finding an answer to opponent Protosses is the key to victory
Team 8 is looking to establish the longest winning streak in their short history so far when they go up against Samsung Kahn on Wednesday, February 1st, in a week 4 matchup of the second round of the SK Planet Proleague Season 1.
Team 8, formed from the top players of Hwaseung OZ, MBCGame Hero, and WeMade FOX - teams that were disbanded following the 10-11 season - have only been able to win consecutive matches on just two occasions so far. In Round 1, they beat KT and ACE back to back, but followed this up with 6 consecutive losses. However, they are faring better in Round 2 so far, beating CJ and Woongjin in consecutive games. With a victory over Kahn, they will be able to not only record their longest winning streak in their history so far, but also move themselves off the bottom of the standings table by moving to a 5-7 record.
In their meeting in Round 1, Kahn got the better of Team 8 and defeated them 3-1.Jaedong did well to beat RorO, but his teammates could not overcome Kahn's Protoss line. Sea, Jaehoon and Tyson fell to JangBi, Brave and Stork respectively, leading to the Team 8 defeat.
Kahn's Protoss line will most likely feature heavily in this match also, and therefore Team 8 will be facing an uphill battle. Sea, in particlar, has been unable to shake off his bad form this season, going 2-7 overall and just 1-6 against Protoss opponents. The team's ace, Jaedong, is 3-2 against Protoss, while Jaehoon is 1-2,BaBy is 1-1, and Tyson is 0-1, indicating an team-wide weakness to Protoss.
In order for Team 8 to get their third consecutive win, they need a plan against Kahn's Protosses. In recent matches, Team 8 has employed some unorthodox strategies to confuse their opponents, leading some to expect that they will have responses for this match.
Team 8's head coach, Ju Hoon, said that "Everybody knows that Kahn has been doing well this season by relying on their Protoss line. Breaking this line will be a test for us in terms of showing how competitive we can be, so we have prepared a lot for this match, and we will show this preparation in the match."
