Statistics
+ Show Spoiler +
The numbers inside parenthesis represent the player's record for the last 5 games played against the opponent's race in (W-L) format.
The numbers between the above statistic represent the player's head to head record.
Jaedong (5-0) 7 - 3 (3-2) Light
After a disappointing game against Stork, can Jaedong recover after breaking his 9 game winning streak? Just last month, Light couldn't beat YellOw[ArnC], who is one of the best ZvT players right now, so we'll see how he fares against Jaedong.
Lomo (1-4) 1 - 0 (2-3) Jaehoon
Whereas Lomo's losses have been to Stork and free (both good Protosses), Jaehoon has lost to the likes of go.go recently, plus he recently lost a game against Lomo.
BackHo (3-2) 0 - 3 (4-1) Sea
Although BackHo has never won a game against Sea, Sea's last TvP was in early May, with a loss against Stork. The 4 TvPs that he won were actually back in February!
HiyA (2-3) 0 - 0 (0-0) Ace
Hiya is in one big slump right now, but his win against Calm earlier could be the beacon of hope that he needed. He hasn't exactly been playing slouches either, with losses against firebathero, EffOrt, and Kwanro. On the other hand, he did lose to Hogil...
My Predictions
+ Show Spoiler +
Jaedong<Outsider>Light
He's Jaedong.
Lomo<Shades of Twilight>Jaehoon
He's Jaehoon.
BackHo<Destination>Sea
I think BackHo has a fair chance to win this. The map is Destination, he's been doing fairly well against other players recently, and Sea is in a little slump.
HiyA<Neo Medusa>Ace
HiyA is in one helluva slump, but he's going up against an untested, relatively new player. The map advantage should help him as well, especially since he showed an impressive defense against Calm's 2 hatch mutas on the same map.
Jaedong<Heartbreak Ridge>Anyone
Oz 5 - 0 MBC
Then again, Jaedong's schedule must be wearing him down as we saw against Stork in his last game. Could we see another KT v STX where Flash got 0-2ed to lose the game for his team?

Insane game where Sea sets up a contain behind BackHo's natural, but BackHo has other plans. Speed shuttles and reavers are the featured units!
HiyA vs. Ace
+ Show Spoiler +
Up and coming Zerg player pulls out some nice tactics here and absolutely rolls over HiyA. Featured in this game is a small tactic concerning lings that causes HiyA to absolutely get rolled over by mutas. No, the lings don't kill the rines
