Starcraft 2 game, finals from OSL. Best of 7.
Rain as protoss against DongRaeGu as zerg.

DongRaeGu has gone through quite a lot since last June. At that point, he had lost his GSL 3 semifinals game against MC (protoss) and he lost his passion for the game, not practicing enough for some weeks and having some very bad results during that period.
He came back, a bit late though, as he didn't participate on South Korea WCS, but he qualified for OSL and has been fighting against the KeSPA players before reaching this finals. He has also shown improvement in his participation at GSL, with the last games happening today at the GSL 5 Up & Downs where he stomped all his opponents, or managed to have better control and build execution (specially against Bomber).

He has to face Rain, clearly the best KeSPA player after their switch from Brood War to Starcraft 2. This protoss player has shown amazing results in almost all the match ups, he is confident on himself and performs great under pressure.
His recent results include a 4-3 win over Last (terran) at the OSL semifinals, where he started losing the first 3 games 0-3 and came back with 4 back to back wins. A pair of days later he faced Mvp at the GSL 4 semifinals, where he lost by a close 2-3 result. A pair of weeks ago, he managed to take WCS Asia, winning against some of the top korean players, but they were mainly protoss.

Rain will do his best here because this is a very important tournament for him, but so will DongRaeGu.
They are both great, but this odds for the +1.5 games handicap on DongRaeGu are way too high. The zerg player has been facing a lot of protosses lately, as his 4-1 win over MC at the OSL semifinals just last week showed, or at quarterfinals where he won against Oz by 3-1.
This will surely be very close, and the handicap, as said, has good value.
