Banner Thanks to PachiShinhan Bank Proleague 08-09 Round 1 Week 5 ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/teams/12.jpg) vs Air Force ACE vs eSTRO Game 1: DaezanG < Chupung-Ryeong > by.funny
Game 2: OversKy < Medusa > SangHo
Game 3: BoxeR < Neo Requiem > maGma
Game 4: fOru < Destination > Tester
Closer: < Colosseum II > Predictions:+ Show Spoiler + DaezanG > by.funnyBoth of these players have terrible records, not unlike the rest of the lineups for both sides. Daezang showed some decent play by beating Snow in the GSL, that wasn't PL and Snow isn't a terran. I like Daezang, but I can't ignore the fact that he has lost to the last 10 terrans he has played against. On the other hand, by.funny has lost most of his games as well. However, all the games he did lose were to monsters like forGG, Kal, Luxury, Leta, and BeSt. The only reason I'm giving this to DaezanG is that even he should be able to pull of a successful proxy on Chupung-Ryeong. OversKy < SangHoOh man, what has happened here? SangHo is playing well? He is on a 4 game winning streak against zerg which includes the Tyrant himself, Jaedong; he is also on a 4 game streak against all races. He overcame his bane: terrans, breaking an 11 loss streak. Oversky is a good player, possibly the best on Ace(we have yet to see how the new recruits do), even including Boxer. He has been winning consistently since forever in all matchups. Medusa is thus far 6-6 in ZvP, but I'm going to say right here that is balanced towards protoss in this matchup. Most of zerg's wins have been good players stomping all over poor ones. July got his huge streak against protoss broken here with a loss to Bisu and a loss to Much. When two more evenly matched protoss and zerg come together on Medusa, it has been more often the protoss coming out on top. Zerg's 3rd gas is just too hard to defend, while protoss gets the advantage of the easily defended mineral only. I'm giving this one to SangHo. BoxeR > maGmaIf Boxer loses this, I will cry. Magma hasn't beat a terran since 2007 and has a record of 2-14 in his last 16 games. Besides that, Neo Requiem has been showing a lot of shuttle/dropship play(see Upmagic vs Soo), which is Boxer's trademark. I think Boxer will be able to use his skill with dropships to overcome the Z>T imbalance that Requiem has shown us thus far. fOru < TesterThese two players are...terrible. Ok? Neither of them have won a PvP in forever, but I'll give this to Tester since has been winning a few games lately, including a PL against Flash. Ace: Probably either Daezang or Oversky versus sea.Really. If Ace plays a protoss on Harmony, they will lose. I can't believe they have been playing fOru and DZ here. Sea.Really is a pretty good player and should be able to win on a T>P map. If Oversky is played though, I think Ace can take this. So my predictions are these: OversKy > Sea.Really OR DaezanG < Sea.Really Results: + Show Spoiler + These are the two teams at the very bottom of the bucket, with ACE yet to pull out even one win. They have in fact only brought one game to ace, can they possibly take their first win off eSTRO today?

this will be the first win for ACE this season!
daezang > funny oversky > sangho boxer > magma
3-0 in favor for ACE!
well... i know that ACE only won 4 games in the WHOLE season so far. so some of you guys may think that the possibilty of winning 3 games in ONE match isn'T very high. but this time they'll win.
well, at least i still have hope

ace doesnt stand a chance.

-Daezang < by.funny. DZ has been sucking lately. by.funny's is 1-4, but all his loses were at the hands of beasts like forGG, BeSt, Leta, and Lux. Tough luck. He beat MVP, and his play isn't bad at all. At least better than a slumping DZ.
-Oversky < Sangho. Being probably the most efficient player of ACE, he has to face Sangho, who imo, is the player who will become eSTRO's flagship in a very short time. He might never become a Bonjwa, but he definitely has superstar material in him.
Boxer > Magma. I like Boxer. A lot. But lately I think he has been suffering from the UpMagic syndrome, where he tries to go so creative that ends up failing bad. However, Magma sucks ass really bad, and if Boxer doesn't go crazy, he has a fair chance of beating him.
fOru <> tester. Ok, gotta admit that tester's wins over Flash and Fantasy were a big surprise, but fOru also beat Canata and in his loss against Nada he seemed pretty good at some moments. On paper, tester should win, but fOru might pull a win somehow.
If tester wins, gg ACE, eStro takes it home 3-1. If fOru wins and they go for ace match, I'm afraid they will be sending someone like Sunny, Rage or Mumyung. I think eSTRO will send hyvaa or Really(probably Really), which will result in a win for eSTRO.

Ace looks to have a shot here. I'm going 3-1 ace with Boxer, Oversky, and one of the other guys winning.
You know, with all this talk of Boxer returning to T1, it's actually Oversky that T1 really needs. The guy's talent is really wasted on a team that just don't have anyone. And he's remarkably consistent for a guy with no practice time.

I really think he could make something of himself if he was on a better team.
