Special vs Elazer

Given the relative ease with which Special dispatched not one but two top-tier Korean players (Stats and TY) in his Global Playoffs group, I am going to predict this victory for Special. I wasn't too impressed with Special's play up until this point, don't get me wrong I always knew that he was a strong player but he hasn't had too much tournament success as of late and didn't seem like he was really competitive against the absolute top of the top opposition. But for the last little while Special has been living in Korea and grinding the Korean ladder and it is very clear that his hard work and dedication are paying off. If you can beat both Stats and TY, and especially going 2-0 against TY, then you are obviously in top form and it is going to be very interesting to watch Special's progress at Blizzcon. Elazer did very well last year at Blizzcon getting to the round of four, so we obviously can't count him out, but he is probably the weakest of all the remaining players and especially with the momentum on Special's side having crushed two of the absolute best Starcraft players in the world to get to Blizzcon, so I think that he is a better than even money favourite.
