Why SKT1 will win Round 1 Playoffs?

People say that they are overhyped! Well, based on the current results, I can't argue with that, but let's argue with logic and facts (OMG! I KNOW!) on why SKT1 will win the Playoffs.

First of all, let's look at its competitor: Jin Air Green Wings

Granted, soO's GSL is considered to be a fluke, but let's look at the big guns like PartinG, Rain, Classic, and SoulKey.

So, let's say that Rogue beats soO, which is possible. However, we shouldn't forget that soO has beaten Soulkey, who is arguably considered to be the best Zerg at the moment, and the rising star Solar!

So, let's say soO loses. Then, SKT1 can field Classic who has been on fire with IEM qualifers and beated Rouge before or some wildcards like BravO.

Jin Air Green Wings can field other players like TRUE, Cure, or Terminator, who are dangerous in their own right. But it doesn't matter. Because we got the Soul Train PartinG and his key (Soulkey, get it? Soul + Key? Hahaha, all right, I will stop) to help him run over those pathetic noobs.

Now, it comes down to the two players Maru and sOs. Well, Soulkey has consistently beaten Maru, so he's out. sOs can beat Soulkey with trickery, but that's why PartinG is always here to prove who's the true World Champion!

[image loading]
Parting is the ruler who's got your number. Get it? Hate the pun? Too bad, you better get used to it, because you will be getting more of it!

Now, let's look at Samsung Khan:

Oh! The unholy Zerg trio with Stork, Reality, and eMotion, who clearly doesn't know what his username means based on demeanor. They are definitely the most dangerous because they got the devil himself RorO, Solar who is a very strong player in every way, and Shine who is unpredictable cheeser who needs to apologize for playing that race (wait a minute...). Stork recently has been showing some good PvP, and Reality has proven himself to be a very competent Terran.

If God is gracious, he would kill off Samsung Khan, so I will be praying hard and make some ritual sacrifices to ensure that God is pleased, so that's that with analysis!

[image loading]
What's the similarity between RorO and this image? That's right. They are FUGLY and deserve to burn in Hell for their unholiness.

We know that God is awesome and would want the final to be between SKT1 and KT_Rolster.

We all know whom KT_Rolster is going to field: TY, Flash, Zest, and Stats. Let's face it. Their Zerg lineup is very weak, and Sleep is not enough to make it any stronger.

Oh, we all know TY for having undefeated streak. Guess what? We got Rain who loves to turtle and will make it through the late game, which is practically unwinnable to the Terran.

[image loading]
Time to rain on the TY parade!

Flash is looking all right, but SKT_1 has PartinG and Soulkey to dim down his radiance!
Zest and Stats? Oh well, PartinG can put his awesome PvP and show that he is the real World Champion as compensation for not getting his $100,000.

[image loading]
The Oracle has forseen PartinG's victory!

There you have it, my friends. Compared to those other threads, I have argued with PURE LOGIC! So, y'all haters can go suck it! Also, stay tuned in for the news when South Korea will experience an airport attack and telecommuncation shutdown, because SKT1 has used its hacking skills to hijack its competitors!

If guys take this seriously, then you got a serious problem, my friend.

I think you should send an sOs message to save your team's souls because they really need the help. Oh wait...

There is already a thread - me and Dimano put more effort into that than the other three threads combined

Pfft

On another note, I'll go ahead and not re-name this thread because the question mark accurately reflects the unlikelihood of SKT winning Round 1 ^_^

Dang, you suck almost as much as RorO

But truth be hold, I think Samsung Khan is definitely pretty scary.

Whatever I don't have enough Jin Air passion to put more than the ~30 minutes I did. You should be ashamed that you helped RorO's team.

Let's face it. Ever since that bet, Zealously we knew is now gone!

Time to carry on his legacy. FUCK RORO!

The answer to your question is that they won't. There's a reason only KT's thread is spotlighted.

Technically yeah. But the SKT1 is used in-game.
