Lee Hyun Il is my favorite player. He might meet CJ at quarterfinal. Yes, CJ has good result recently, but he is too young, and Lee Hyun Il is experinced. Lee beat CJ at MCO after a tough victory over TH. I think his chance is slightly higher than CJ, and I will support him all the way!
No doubt CJ is a future world no. 1. However, this WC will be his first big match experience and that can be unnerving. Remember how the three solid CHN MS lost rather quickly in the 2004 OC? That's their first OC, I believe. Although CJ is competitive, he's a baby compared to LHI in terms of big match experience.The question is whether LHI can outlast CJ. At the semi final stage, LHI nowadays has little left in the tank. Since he's meeting CJ at the quarter final, I believe he would stiil have the energy to beat CJ in three games, esp. when his first three matches are unlikely to be draining. Experience over youth. LHI to win.
In terms of Experience.. Lee Hyun Ill have an advantage over Chen Jin in Big Tournaments. However Chen Jin might spring some suprises.
