Liquid doesn't relaly stand too much of a chance here in my opinion. They have 2 guys who could take more then one game but ST is so much better.

All depends on taeja, if he loses liquid loses. Only hope is a taeja all kill which is unlikely.

Also hope we get to see bomber, i love his play.

I say that Liquid' takes this 5-4. ST are probably going to send out either PartinG or Curious early on to stop Taeja and HerO, but as long as Ret can pull some big games, they should be fine.
Taeja vs Bomber in the ace match would be pretty baller :D

Jesus Startale has a huge lineup now. I wonder if we'll see some players cut from the team soon.

I don't remember any TLO games in TAC since going super saiyan on Prime last time, but I haven't seen every single match. Hope he's still in Korean boss mode.

Liquid can definitely pull this off with a lot of skill and a fair amount of luck.

I'll guess ST 5-3 since Startale can pull infinite amounts of Protoss out of their hat, and I wouldn't call XvP anybody's best matchup short of maybe TaeJa?
