[SPL] Playoffs - STX SouL vs Samsung KHAN Day1

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 players' head to head record.

by.hero (5-0) It's a ZvZ (2-3) great

hero does have a better record, but if you look at who he's beaten, the only notables are Kwanro and... well... that's pretty much the only decent ZvZ player he's beaten. He did beat great before though on Neo Medusa, but the game is ZvZ, and anything can happen.

Kal (4-1) 5 - 6 (1-4) JangBi

The statistics may say one thing, but look at the players that these guys have been facing. In his last 5 matches, Kal has beaten SangHo, free, Jangbi, and Horang2, and lost to BackHo. JangBi has been matched against Bisu 3 times, Kal, and Much. The game that JangBi won was against Bisu. Really, the last 5 matches don't say too much about how these guys are really performing in the match up. Kal's loss against BackHo was against 1 freaking DT. JangBi's loss to Bisu was... well... against Bisu. However, one major factor that JangBi has over Kal is preparation time. For the last week, Kal had to face Jaedong in the MSL, and he was probably focusing on that match instead of this one. JangBi has had nothing for the entire month.

Last < Shades of Twilight > Stork

Lol Stork is going to win. Last is untested against Protoss, the map is Shades, and Stork is still pretty damn strong in PvT regardless. I'm not going to do statistics for this one.

Calm (4-1) 1 - 1 (2-3) firebathero

This in my opinion will be the game of the night. This game will pretty much decide Khan's fate. Calm, the man who silently climbed to 7 in this month's Power Rank, versus FBH... Who hasn't been doing well lately. Despite Calm's record, I think the map is going to play into this match heavily. The last match I saw Calm play on a macro map like Neo Harmony was umm... 3 months ago? Frankly, I haven't seen Calm play too many games that aren't 2 Hatch. I haven't seen FBH play on a map that actually encourages standard bio play since... 5 months ago. Neo Harmony requires a completely different style than what we've lately been seeing. I'm interested to see this one.

Hwasin < Outsider > Juni

Juni is 2-11 overall against Terran. Hwasin is 63% overall against Zerg. Moving on.

Shuttle < Destination > Miracle

Miracle, the guy who is 0-5 against Protoss, against Shuttle (or YoonJoong), whose worst MU is vT... I feel too lazy to write anything here.
