CJ Entus vs. KT Rolster
+ Show Spoiler [Predictions] +
sKyHigh < Circuit Breaker > Flash
Flash has seen a fair amount of games on Circuit Breaker this season, and i believe that opening up KT will want to come out strong. CJ will most likely send up skyhigh, someone who has seen a fair amount of action on the map as well, and who is CJ's best possible chance of taking down Flash, as his TvT is excellent and is 3-2 against Flash currently. This should most likely be a victory for Flash with his current TvT form being excellent while Skyhigh's is mediocre. Expect an exciting game however, as I don't expect Skyhigh to go down easy.
Hydra < Icarus > BarrackS
Stats has come out often on this map for KT of late, so it's likely that CJ will attempt to snipe him by throwing out a zerg, as Stats' PvZ is his weakest matchup. KT will probably predict this move, and send out Barracks to try and cheese out the Zerg ace, Hydra, from CJ. Expect some 2 port or 2 rax shenanigans, as Hydra's mutalisk micro is excellent and if he makes it to 2 hatch muta unscathed, he will most likely victorious. Expect Hydra to out-class Barracks in this game.
Horang2 < New Empire of the Sun > Stats
Having not come out on Icarus, Stats will most likely come out on his next favorite map, New empire of the sun. Once again I believe CJ will predict this move and snipe him with an expertly placed Tiger Toss. Stats' form has been shaky of late, and Horang2's has been excellent. This should be an easy victory for CJ.
Movie < Neo Aztec > Crazy-Hydra
Don't get me wrong. Crazy-Hydra is a fantastic Zerg, but Movie is just a step above him in the matchup right now. Last time they played Movie won and i expect much of the same here. With Horang2 being sent out to snipe Stats, Movie is likely to be sent out here to snipe the Zerg that KT is probably going to send. While the map is fairly imba ZvP, Movie's experience and comfort in the matchup should overcome the odds to take him to victory.
Snow < Alternative > Action
The stats on this map say it's a Protoss haven, and most of the games i've seen on it have been PvZ so i expect nothing different here. CJ's last protoss is Snow, and while his PvZ is weak, i expect him to come to the map armed with some PvZ cheese to try and take down the mafia zerg. While KT might send perfective, due to actions lack of form of late, i expect Action due to his past records, and teams will most likely look to their more senior members when it comes to crunch time (except for Khan of course D: ). I dont think Action will fall for Snow's shenanigans, so it should be a quick and easy victory.
Leta < New Bloody Ridge > HoeJJa
KT will probably send out Hoejja on this map, expecting one of the CJ protoss line to make an appearance. Hoejja, probably armed with a good 3 hatch hydra build will unfortunately run into the CJ coaches curve ball in the form of Leta. Not being sent out on this map ever before, this unexpected move will take the KT zerg off guard, and while he's shown some good ZvT of late, Leta's sickly good TvZ should win the day, awarding CJ the match, 4-2.
CJ will be relying on the game not getting this far, as they dont have a reliable player to take down Flash on the lineup.
CJ Entus 4 - 2 KT Rolster
