In this betting preview, we will look over both semis featuring Jung &#8220;Rain&#8221; Yoon Jong, Park &#8220;SoMa&#8221; Sang Hyun, Kim &#8220;ZerO&#8221; Myung Woon and Lee &#8220;Light&#8221; Jae Ho.<\/p>\n<h2>ZerO vs Rain<\/h2>\n<p><em>Thursday, November 21 &#8211; 17:00 KST<\/em><\/p>\n<p>ZerO (+148) and Rain (-217.39) have both put up dominant performances en route to the semi-finals, but the road will end here for one of them.<\/p>\n<p>Rain started his venture into Korea StarCraft League Season 4 with a superb display of skill in the group stage, where he cruised to top spot in a pool containing Doh &#8220;BeSt&#8221; Jae Wook, Lee &#8220;Sacsri&#8221; Yah Hoon and Yoo &#8220;Rush&#8221; Young Jin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"\/south-korea\/\" title=\"South Korean esports betting\">SOUTH KOREA ESPORTS BETTING GUIDE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rain decimated Best in game one (3-1) and added a dominant 3-0 win against Sacsri to secure the first seed. Entering the playoffs red hot, Rain managed to keep up the tempo as he convincingly defeated Afreeca Starleague Season 8 runner-up Jang &#8220;Snow&#8221; Yoon Chul (3-1) to take one step closer to the finals.<\/p>\n<p>Zer0 was not quite so dominant in the group stage, but he more than made up for that with a 3-2 win over Korea StarCraft League Season 3 runner-up Byun &#8220;mini&#8221; Hyun Je.<\/p>\n<p>While it is difficult to separate these two on form alone, we have to consider that Rain does well against Zerg players and Zer0 struggles against Protoss. If we add to that Rain&#8217;s unmatched knowledge of the game and exceptional ability to predict opponents&#8217; builds, it is easy to understand why esports bookmakers see him as the favourite.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Rain to win &#8211; -217.39 at <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"  title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"  target=\"_blank\">BetOnline<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<!-- Table view: sport-cards -->\n\n<div class=\"dc-table-card\">\n            <div class=\"card\">\n                        <h3>BetOnline<\/h3>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"\n               title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"\n            >\n                <img class=\"logo-bookie lazyload\" alt='BetOnline'\n                     title='Play at BetOnline'\n                     data-src='https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/hb-logo\/betonlinesport.jpg' src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\"><noscript><img class=\"logo-bookie\" alt='BetOnline'\n                     title='Play at BetOnline'\n                     src='https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/hb-logo\/betonlinesport.jpg'><\/noscript>\n\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"bonus\">\n                <h4>$5,000<\/h4>\n                <p>50% matched deposit up to USD $5,000<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"term-txt\">\n               <p>\n               <a  href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"t-c-link\"> <\/a>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/sites\/betonline\/\"\n               title=\"BetOnline review\"\n               class=\"review-link\">read review<\/a>\n\n\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/betonline\/\"\n               class=\"call-to-action\"\n               title=\"Claim bonus at BetOnline\"\n               target=\"_blank\">Bet Now <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"card\">\n                        <h3>Bovada<\/h3>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/bovada-esport\/\"\n               title=\"Claim bonus at Bovada\"\n            >\n                <img class=\"logo-bookie lazyload\" alt='Bovada'\n                     title='Play at Bovada'\n                     data-src='https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/hb-logo\/bovadasport.jpg' src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\"><noscript><img class=\"logo-bookie\" alt='Bovada'\n                     title='Play at Bovada'\n                     src='https:\/\/esportbet.com\/data-central\/images\/casinos\/hb-logo\/bovadasport.jpg'><\/noscript>\n\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"bonus\">\n                <h4>$250<\/h4>\n                <p>Claim a 50% deposit bonus up to the value of USD $250<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"term-txt\">\n               <p>\n               <a  href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"t-c-link\"> <\/a>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/sites\/bovada\/\"\n               title=\"Bovada review\"\n               class=\"review-link\">read review<\/a>\n\n\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/go\/bovada-esport\/\"\n               class=\"call-to-action\"\n               title=\"Claim bonus at Bovada\"\n               target=\"_blank\">Bet Now <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n<h2>SoMa vs Light<\/h2>\n<p><em>Thursday, November 21 &#8211; 20:00 KST<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The bout between SoMa (+200) and Light (-277.78) is expected to be a one-sided fixture, and for good reason.<\/p>\n<p>SoMa topped Group C where he had a shaky start against Kim &#8220;sOrry&#8221; Ji Sung (3-2) but managed to bounce back with a dominant 3-0 win against Snow, who ended up claiming the second seed of the group.<\/p>\n<p>Despite some iffy displays early on, SoMa showed his full might in the quarter-finals with a 3-0 drubbing of BeSt (3-0), who suffered his third quarter-finals exit from the Korea SCII League. <\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"\/leagues\/\" title=\"Best esports leagues\">ESPORTS LEAGUES &#038; TOURNAMENTS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike SoMa, Light proved he was a class above all his group stage opponents with a dominant 3-1 win over 2008 Arena MSL champion Park &#8220;fOrGG&#8221; Ji Soo and a 3-0 win over Park &#8220;Hyuk&#8221; Jae Hyuk. <\/p>\n<p>Light met with Park &#8220;Mind&#8221; Sung Gyoon in the playoffs and secured another comfortable 3-1 victory to reach the semis with only two maps lost along the way.<\/p>\n<p>While Light and SoMa are both exceptional players, it is Light who comes out ahead in all aspects of the game.
