Hwaseung Oz is a very inconsistent team, they have their on days were the Jaedong Oz combo destroys everyone with players like Hiya and Killer playing very well, but then there are also those were the everyone besides Jaedong plays terrible and end up in the classic 1-3 Oz result. Going through their record their highest streak this Season has been 3 wins, which is relatively poor.
Since Oz is out of the playoffs I think the main concern they should have is getting their line up built for next season. At the moment their roster involves I would say 6 players. Jaedong, Hiya, Killer, Lomo, BackHo, Perfectman... And everyone but Jaedong and Hiya seem to be very inconsistent and these players need to step their game up if they wish to compete with other teams.
Ahh, Hite, there is alot going on in the Sparkyz house right now, after losing so many strong players in the match fixing scandal they aren't left with much left. Hite is too out of the playoffs and looking at the line up it doesn't look like they have much of a future. I suppose you can call Hite a bad version of Oz. Leta has had an injury and hasn't been playing to his potential and let me just explain how bad the rest of the team is.
I will use the ELO rank and show their 5 highest ranked players.
Leta 2189 (140-91)
Horang2 2142 (37-31)
Hogil 2037 (46-66)
Puma 2006 (12-20)
Britney 1991 (3-6)
The situation is really really bad for them and they will have to hope to make these guys A class material or trade some new guys for next season. As of the moment I do think they are the underdog against every player.

HiyA <Match Point> Britney
BackHo<Fighting Spirit> Horang2
Killer<Grand Line SE> Leta
Jaedong <Polaris Rhapsody> HoGiL
Set 1: I see Hiya coming out since Match Point favors the Terran and Hiya is pretty at playing his mirror match-up, and Hite will counter by sending a protoss. This map does favor PvT but I think Hiya should take this since Britney isn't very experienced
.
Set 2: We all know Fighting Spirit, it's possible the most balanced map out there, and
BackHo is comfortable with 4 player maps and even though his record doesn't show it I feel he has good game sense in PvP and this should be a fun mirror to watch. I think Hite will see Killer coming here and therefore Horang.
Set 3: Grand Line and Fighting Spirit are the only maps that I think BackHo or Killer will be sent out at, and Leta should be sent out to guarantee a win here and spare someone else for Jaedong.
Set 4: The best chance for Hite to take out Jaedong is in a ZvZ on JDs favorite map, though he has lost his last 2 PL ZvZs I do think he still very much has it and Hogil should get rolled.
Hwaseung Oz 3-1
How to watch?
