nvm. not a factor it looks like I would send Jjaki, yes. Still Jjakji even though you got a player to burn with a 3-2 lead? They don't have a Protoss that can snipe Sage imo, but I guess sending out Jjakji would be less of the risk since violet is pretty good and could potentially beat Sage

Violet's hold at the beginning of this game was insane.

Oh, I had it muted T_T, well that's still impressive, Tear has been tearing it up lately (see what I did there) >.>

I think sending out your best player against their potentially best player giving your player the edge of picking the map which can be the very Terran favored Terminus or Shattered still would be close to a secured win and Jjaki is not just insanely good vs Zerg, but insanely good all around while a PvZ specialist might not be able to pick apart Happy.

Excellent play Violet, amazing hold into win
|
awesome ZvZ, nice job violet
|
Great play by Violet. Now let's see if he can beat Jjakji.

True. Jjakji coming and and picking Shattered. Good call. How does Happy's TvT match up to his TvZ and TvP? Probably not good enough to beat Jjakji still?

naruto du tier !
nice prediction jjakji on shatterd coming up

If Violet loses they have to send Happy because even if Welmu / hoBot had builds prepared to snipe Jjakji they would not be good enough of allround players to beat the next player. I still think Jjajki will finish Empire off.

Happy's TvT is very good even though the statistics say its a lot worse than his other two match ups, yet I don't believe its enough to take down Jjakji. You can never say 'he won't win' in a best of 1, but to me its unlikely.

NSHS is definitely in a very strong position unless violet pulls off this upset

ZvT on temple close pos... Not looking good for violet.
|
Violet is a great player but going up against the reigning GSL champ(who won a TvZ in the final) is a pretty crazy task. Hope we see a good game.
|
ofc he chooses shattered, its pretty good in TvZ^^
|
If Violet loses it will be Jjakji vs Happy on Calm before the Storm - would be my bet.

If he doesnt use up CBTS but manages to beat Jjakji they will use San on CBTS. PvT sniper on CBTS would be bad news so it would make a lot of sense to go ahead and get rid of it. This would also make me think NSHS would be more likely to send out Sculp against Happy if he got through Jjakji
