◆POS JulyZerg - "Protoss is easy"
July's ZvP is truly amazing. He has a record of 68 wins to 28 losses, a winning percentage of 70.8%. He has surpassed the great Protoss killers: KTF's Chojja(68%) and SKT1's iloveoov. In an OSL, he has only had 2 losses against Protoss. One of those losses was from Gillette Starleague's final against Reach, which he won 3:1.
The other loss was in the group stages of EVER Starleague against Pantech and Curritel's Nal_Rock. He had sweet revenge, showing him no mercy by winning 2:0 in the quarterfinals of this starleague. In conclusion, there is no Protoss that can run over July.
He hopes that this time will be his 3rd Starleague win. His rival for the Golden Mous, SKT1's Boxer, has been eliminated. This game will just be a stage for him to recieve his golden mouse.
◆POS Pusan: "I have a good zerg matchup also"
It's now widely known that recent Protoss' haven't been doing well against zerg. However, Pusan is different in the way that he has a better zerg matchup than his terran matchup. His OGN record of 9wins 4 losses against zerg is much better than his Terran or Protoss matchup, which are both at 50%.
In his debut So1 Starleague, he was grouped with Protoss killer KTF Chojja and Jju, from Samsung, who he both beat. In starleagues, he hasn't lost to zergs once! He will be good competition to July.
Every Protoss winner until now has beaten a zerg in the semifinals. Garimto beat Kim Sang Hoon (?), KTF's Reach beat his teammate YellOw, Kingdom beat Junwi, and Nal_rA beat samsung's Jju to go on to win the starleague.
For Pusan to win, he has to overcome this great obstacle. He lost his seed during the last starleague, and he can't lose this one also. He publicly said that he's more comfortable facing a zerg. Let's watch him fufill that statement.
