s2 > Hydra It is doubtful that either team will open with their strongest players. If they do, one of the best coaches in the league will punish the other knowing they will not have to fear __________. Hydra doesn’t have the bets zvz in the world, and s2 is 9-1 on match point, with competition harder than Hydra. 1-0 BeSt > BByong CJ doesn't send out any player consistently on this map, and process of elimination leads me to believe they send out BByong (who has more games here than almost any of his teammates), along with the fact they used him a couple of times towards the end of the season. Why would they get him practice if he wasn't going to play? BeSt still dominates in the most lopsided match of the night, and brings SKT to a quick 2-0 SoO < Snow Snow absolutely loves this map. SoO gets the start in part because its his best map, and in part as cannon fodder. Snow wins. 2-1 Bisu > EffOrt In what will be the best match of the night we have the two biggest Stars. On the one hand, we have Bisu’s PvZ, with wins over Jaedong and his all zerg MSL group. On the other hand, we have EffOrt’s ZvP, which has historically been his best matchup. In a close contest, I have to look to the head-to-head, which favors Bisu, 3-0. Bisu just barely edges it out. 3-1 Fantasy < sKyHigh This one was hard for me to call. Judgment Day is Fantasy's favorite map, and sKyHigh goes for the snipe, because who else does sKyHigh have a chance against (assuming that SKT fields the lineup I presented, and does not use canata or ssak)? I want to believe in Fantasy with how well he has been doing, but it is hard to ever pick against sKyHigh in a TvT. I looked at head-to head again, and this time CJ’s player has the 3-0 advantage. sKyHigh wins what I predict will be the second best game of the night. SKT 3-2 CJ Hyuk > Movie To put it simply, Hyuk is a beast, Movie is over-rated, Hyuk wins easy (not to mention Fortress has not been kind to protosses yet). Hyuk seals the deal, 4-2. To the CJ fans, no, I did not forget about Iris. I believe CJ will save him for the Ace match on Grand Line, where he has had a lot of success. Unfortunately for them, it won't get that far. Although I will admit that a fresh Iris on Grand Line is a scary prospect for any SKT player. If it does go to ace, however, I hope it looks a little something like this http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/games/8311_BoxeR_vs_HiyA/vod. | ||

Well, one thing is for sure, there are going to be a lot of butthurt fanboys raging once this thing is all over... should be good times. That much I can agree with. Whichever team loses, their fans are gonna be raging. But of course... it'll just be SKT winning over CJ... *fanboyism over*. | ||

During the World Cup an octopus named Paul was put in a tank with two boxes in it. Each box had the flag of the participating nations in the World Cup match is was predicting as well as a clam or mussel at the bottom. Whichever box it chose was the team that it predicted. And I think all of its predictions came true. Ex. Paul chose the box labeled with Spain's flag over Germany's and Spain won their match 1-0. | ||

Now that Bisu's somewhat returned to form, SKT is a monstrous team that can pose trouble for any team in the playoffs. | ||

LOL you and I share the same favorite player/favorite team conundrum. Still going for CJ, though, because while I like SKT1 players, I see the ogranization as a whole to be like the Yankees of Proleague. Because I favor Protoss, STX or SKT1 if not CJ. KT has a solid Toss lineup, but they're all clearly second fiddle to the Turtlemaster, while it's not automatically a given that Fantasy > Bisu or Calm > Kal. The main non-Toss players I like are all out of the playoffs (Action, Hiya, Classic based purely on that recent game vs. Zero, etc.) | ||
