Predictions

Best is practically invincible in pvp, even the curse that befalls my picks cant stop him.

This one is tough to call and could go either way. Midas is 6-3 in TvT this season with notable wins over the likes of Hwasin, Iris, and Mind. FBH has won the last 4 TvTs he has played winning over Mind, Light, and fOrGG and is 4-2 in the MU this season. I give the edge to Midas based on his excellent (#4 overall i think) overall performance this season, the fact that he won the only previous encounter between these 2, and my suspicion that with Samsung guaranteed a place in the playoffs we may see FBH do something silly which i doubt will work against a high quality player like Midas.

Samsung's guys are at the very top of the 2v2 standings and have been a big part of their team's proleague success. 2v2 is crazy and anything can happen but, the safe money is on KHAN.

Beesuit has the best pvp practice he could possibly ask for in Best, but i'm gonna mix it up and go w/ Stork who also has (or atleast used to have) a killer PvP just so we can see an ACE match
... also because Bisu has this nasty habit of failing when SKT really needs him.
ACE MATCH
The fanboy in me screams SKT T1! But the team has a bizarre obsession with producing garbage (i.e. "not Best") in ACE matches lately (Come on, wtf is Hyuk vs Flash?!!?). SKT T1 if they send Best, Samsung if they don't.

How to watch
- Yaoyuan should work, with some delay to the Daum stream. Works only in IE and requires the TVAnts plugin (dl here)
- If you have a good connection, use the Daum player (guide here); it has both OGN and MBC, but might buffer every few seconds. If you receive an error message, changing the streaming room is said to help.
- Hopefully a stream from Corinthos if he is a benevolent god
