Modesty vs Killer
While Brood War is still gaining new fans, there are still a lot of fans who have been around since the 2011 PDPop MSL. Yes, that was another entertaining finals between two great ZvZers. So, since I am willing to admit that the writing staff in 2011 was far more talented than I, I am going to quote their historic hype in an attempt to

Underwhelming, as most would think, but we're here to tell you otherwise. Despite this final not having any big names or long-standing rivalries, this match offers something more, something that no other ZvZ could have brought us. Change. -]343[, l10f, and flamewheel
Well, I can’t be certain we will see change in this finals, but we really will see two talented zergs going head to head. Killer has consistently lead the scene as a Zerg for two years now. Modesty has proven his worth time after time over the past 6 months. There is no doubt the level of play these players have to offer.

Remember kids, drinking is bad, as Modesty is here to tell you. Why is this man depressed? Is it because this is going to be a boring ZvZ finals, bound to cause MSL and viewers alike to drink themselves into a stupor?
No. While this final is neither a bonjwa coronation ceremony nor a fight for the Silver Mouse, it definitely will have its own place in history. - flamewheel
To flamewheel’s point, this will have its place in history. This second Starleague by LoveTV marks both consistency and excitement. Before this time, sonic was the sole streamer of pro tournaments. As this championship concludes, viewer numbers should be higher and the success of the championship overall has now put it on the radar for foreign fans. I’m sure we will all be demanding a 3rd Starleague soon after.
Now, let’s go to the staff predictions for the outcomes of this tournament.

Killer wins 3-1 if Modesty plays standard. Modesty wins 3-2 and the world implodes if he plays tricky.

I vote Killer because the last time a zerg beat Jaedong in a bo5 he went on to win the msl. In a ZvZ finals too!
What the fuck do we do if Modesty wins a starleague? Everything we know, all we have written, all the arguments we have about Starcraft being the truest the sports, the most manly competition where those who prove unworthy falter and crumble under pressure, its all moot. It means nothing if Modesty is awarded a Starleague trophy.
I am bunkering the fuck up if he wins because it is surely a sign of a coming apocalypse.

Honestly, Killer had an excellent showing in the semi-finals against Jaedong. However,I predict Modesty will have some incredible builds prepared as he already stated he wanted to spearhead an incoming ZvZ revolution some time ago.

I really want to care about this finals, but I don't at all. Killer is going to win, either 3-2 or 3-1. He's been unstoppable ZvZ lately, and he made smashing Jaedong look incredibly easy. AS much as I love my Khan's, Modesty doesn't have what it takes to win a finals.
