This match doesn't matter for K3, they're through regardless of what happens today they are fighting for the life of dignitas who can get through if they win as for hoseo it's all the line for them if they win they're through if they lose they're out.

To be honest, it looks like NSHS doesn't have anyone that can take down VortiX, and only jjakji and tassadar to take down lucifron. Given that the other players of Karont3 have shown to be able to take at least 2 games between them, and given that the other NSHS members are so weak, I have to give Karont3 the 5-2 or 5-1 victory. The number of losses that Karont3 will take depends on if Karont3 sends out LoLvsxD (not so good), Verdi (good), or either of the other two (somewhere in between).

Nshoseo has gotten pretty weak, but those Koreans certainly can take down VortiX and Lucifron (not saying they are favored). Jjakji is still an absolute boss and probably favored against both.

Anyone other than Vortix/Lucifron getting a win against a player on a Korean pro team would still be a decent upset.

I rate Vortix and Lucifron pretty highly, but Nshoseo is still favored here IMO.

I'd like to see Jumanji vs Lucifron, but since GSL finals are tomorrow, I'm rather going to bed.

I have a dream. I dream of the day that foreigners cease to under-rate koreans simply because they are lesser known.

Seriously, NSH gonna crush through today I think.

if jjakji loses so does nsh. vortix and lucifron are strong and either of them have the skills to take out jjakji. tassadar might be nsh's saving grace and seal+sculp havn't been showing their 'possible code S' skills lately.

5-2 karont3

This is basically can jjakiji can take down the Spanish brothers. If jjakiji has a really good day he can do it, but the odds are against him.

Never underestimate koreans just because they are not in GSL or foreign tournaments. They still practice a shit ton on the best ladder and have some of the best work ethic.
