+ Show Spoiler +
GoRush(Z-SKT1) < Much(P-CJ)
Midas(T-SKT1) < Savior(Z-CJ)
iloveoov(T-SKT1) < Yellow[Name](Z-OGN)
Casy(T-OGN) > JulyZerg(Z-MBCGame)
Predictions:
Much > Gorush.
Much showed that he has a fine grasp of this map by actually beating a terran on this map during the ro24 matches. Besides, he is the only protoss left in the OSL, which means it is mandatory for me to root for him
Savior > Midas.
On a non-hitchiker map, I give savior the edge. But don't count out baby bear~
Oov > Yarnc
At first I wanted to go with yarnc, thinking he would pull some weird build to catch Oov off guard, but he did that during Sinhan 1, meaning Oov will most likely be prepared for anything yarnc throws at him.
Casy > Julyzerg.
It's hitchiker.
