After the dust settled, YYNinja emerged on top of the competition with 7 points to his name, with a bunch of people trailing behind by only one or two points. If did not enter in the first stage, don't let that stop you; accurate predictions might let you overtake our current leader! The next stage of the OSL Challenge is in essence a bracket prediction. Here we go!

__________________________________________________________

Rules

It's simple enough - predict the bracket from the Ro8 onwards, as well as the score for each match.

The matchups are:

YellOw[ArnC] vs go.go
type-b vs Leta

Canata vs Fantasy
ZerO vs Jaedong

Here is a sample ballot:

As a HITE Sparkyz fan, I'm absolutely thrilled to see a Sparkyz player finally get into the finals of an individual league!!! Wooo Sparkyz fighting!!!

My biased picksShow/Hide Spoiler

Ro8
Yellow[arnc] > go.go 2:1
In a recent interview, Yarnc said that the only Terran in the Sparkyz house that he would have problems with is against go.go. I expect this to be very close.

Type-B > Leta 2:1
If you watched the HITE vs CJ Playoff match you would understand this choice.

SpoilerShow/Hide Spoiler

Leta lost all three games he was fielded in, I suspect that he is in a slump right now.

Canata < Fantasy 1:2
This is a tough one, Canata's best match-up is vs. Terran and Fantasy also happens to be very good but not great in the TvT match-up. Canata will prevail as long as the game lasts 40+ minutes, otherwise Fantasy will out micro Canata.

ZerO < Jaedong 0:2
Jaedong is a beast in the ZvZ match-up except against certain Zerg players such as Oversky, Effort and Yellow[arnc].

Semifinals
Yellow[arnc] > Type-B 3:0
Type-B's weakest match-up is ZvZ. If it were a ZvP or ZvT it might have been a different story.

Fantasy > Jaedong 3:1
The last time these two faced each other, Fantasy was able to perfectly thwart Jaedong's muta harass with a refined Fantasy build. I expect the new Fantasy to have no problem with Jaedong.

Finals
Yellow[arnc] > Fantasy 3:2
Will Fantasy be finally able to win an individual league? Or will he become the new King of Silver (overthrowing Jangbi)? My brain says Fantasy will finally win, but my inner fan boy tells me to root for Yarnc.

YarnC is definitely a wild-card for me, but going with your gut seems to be a proven method for winning these things. I've predicted JD to win everything in every Starleague...I know that won't happen, but how can you vote against the DONG, especially in ZvZ! I just can't do it. I feel this is JD's last year to take another Starleague and then he will enter a Flash-like "slump" (of not winning starleagues). He's looking tired these days, but I think he has one more starleague win in him.
