Wow this is probably the most stacked EG line up we've seen. Still it should go to the ace, with Thorzain beating Oz ofc. EG needs to win this to hope a hope of making the playofffs.
ThorZain 1-2 Oz (could go the other way, ThorZain has good TvP and Oz struggles lately)
JYP 2-1 Rain (would have prefered Moon or NightEnD here, Rain is doing extremely bad right now)
PuMa 0-2 aLive (PuMa hates playing aLive, its his worst opponent in fnatic and he has a terrible record vs aLive)
HuK 2-1 ByuL (well ByuL has certainly very strong ZvT, but he didnt got one of the Terrans. Iam not that confident he can already take down a Protoss veteran like Huk)
Ace match
Mindgames incoming. EG probably smart enough to not throw out PuMa or ThorZain against aLive. Iam going with HuK for EG here. While fnatic probably makes the mistake in reading too much here, and doesnt send aLive, who would have a decent chance against HuK as well as the Terrans, but puts Oz as their Ace instead, who will continue the fateful road of PvP-Its-all-about-Skill (un)lucky streak.
HuK 2-1 Oz
EG takes the 3-2 win and Fnatic fails to have a chance for 2nd place.
Wow, that looks kind of desperated for a fnatic fanboy huh? Yes Iam still that sad about the recent players results.
JYPvT is a freewin for Rain, allthough he isn't getting the results lately. Tzain-Oz, could go either way, should be nice match to watch~! puma alive, I think will goes puma's way, but anything can happen huk-byul I think 2-1 for byul, little bit of an upset
2-2 with undecided ace... Huk should beat byul... Tzain/Oz probs go to Oz, and Puma/Alive might go to Alive, 40% maybe to Puma, Rain v JYP just actually might go to JYP
T-Zain > Oz JYP = Rain (I can't predict, JYP is miles better, but sucks vT, however much people say he has improved in the matchup) Puma < Alive HuK > Byul
If JYP looses and it comes down to the Ace, I'm not sure who EG sends as their Ace. Thorzain maybe? I don't know who they have that can beat Alive if he's in form.
The match ups could of gone better for EG. Reshuffle the 4 and I could see a 3-1 win for EG but as they are it would have to be 3-1 for Fnatic. My win for EG would be Puma and as an EG fan I will put my hopes onto tzain to push the clan war into the ace match

Thorzain could easily 2-0 Oz, especially with his recent TvP (and Oz's PvT).
JYP's PvT has got better and better, only we only see him vs really really good TvP players, which I don't think Rain is.
Puma has very strong TvT, and although it is Alive's best mu, it looked less than invincible the other day in GSL.
Huk vs Byul - could go either way, depends on what mood Huk is in.
Ace match looks likely, but I think EG 3-1, or 3-2
idk, beside Thorzain they all got arguably their worst matchup (JYP not arguably ^^). Oz beat Maru, ForGG and Polt last GSL season, makes him the favourite imo.
