Remember back when Wemade Fox was still Pantech? They're only good player was Nada. He'd win one game, and then usually all the rest of their team would lose. If they were lucky though, some other guy would get lucky and win one, and then Nada would win again in the ace match. That was the ONLY way they'd win matches.

And now KTF is doing the same thing. Almost all of their wins come from Flash winning two games, and some loser like 815 winning one. They're not really a team anymore... they're just Flash + some washed up celebrities (who are admittedly still pretty sexy) + no names.

815 hasnt lost a game in PL so not exactly a one man team. but Flash is doing like 80% of the wins in 1v1. KTF need one more solid player then they have a chance of being a champ no doubt.

come on, YellOw/Reach 2on2!

but yeah, it is flash owning, but I'm happy WeMade actually has a semi solid line up now, if they can just harnass a good 2on2 team then they got it made. Mind, NaDa, and thye have some decent snipers iirc.

815 is one solid player. I don't know wtf you're talking about. Look at his stats: 5-0 vs T and 75% overall win rate. I don't know how you can call him a loser -__-

Lucifer is a pretty good player too. 7-4 vs T and 9-6 overall record. That's nothing to laugh at.

Haha yeah I did forget about Hery, actually. It's like, when the KTF coach needs money, he can just bet against KTF, and then send in Hery for the ace match.

They're doing OK, i suppose, but they still haven't really done a whole lot. I mean, a 100% win rate is nice, but when it's only 5 games, I'm inclined to call it luck.

How about 8-1 on Blue Storm with wins against players like Sea and Jaedong with only one loss to GGPlay? Is that luck? =/


and his 10-1 record since his loss to FireFist last October. Is that luck too?

I'm not a KTF fanboy or anything but to dismiss lucifer and 815 as crappy players who got lucky is a bit of a stretch.

OK I admit I'm exaggerating a bit.

Still, if Flash were to break his wrist today, KTF would plummit to the bottom of the rankings.

Ace will always be there to prevent that. (lol)

And KTF has the strongest farm system out of all 11 proteams. Your assertions are utterly ridiculous.

Even without Flash, they have 815, Lucifer, Violet, Tempest, Haran.

Flash/Lucifer/815 is a respectable lineup. I don't see how it's any gimpier than fielding Anytime/Jaedong/ForGG every time.

Now if only Nal_rA would stop sucking ...

Also they have THIRTY new players to choose from - that's got to be enough new blood for anyone or anything.

I don't deny that Flash is pulling his team. The only difference between Nada with Pantech and Flash with KTF is that KTF has some decent players to count on for their 2nd win. Hence their good record so far.

Honestly though there are so many retarded uninformed posts like these in the broodwar and tournament section, I can't blame more and more people to start posting the same kind of dumb shit. I seriously need to abandon progaming arguments, because I could spend all day shooting down these shitty claims and never come close to finishing the task.

what do you mean with they need fresh blood? 815 , lucifer, haran are rather new and even flash can't be called oldschool.
That Team had a big change after all their oldschool players started sucking, but they got some talents and are back again.
Of course flash does most of the work, but that isn't unusual at all. If you got one outstanding player you will of course make use of that. Oov brought many many wins to skt1, nada to pantech, savior to cj and so on.

Their lineup isn't as deep as cj's yet, but they got some pretty good players to support flash and 815.

The oldschoolers can still be used in 2on2 and are doing a decent job there.

Lucifer on a 5 game winning streak against respectable opponents.

Haran lost both of his games this season but you have to look at the opponents:
Midas (who is doing very well this season) and Jaedong. I am sure Haran will get some wins against other opponents.

Hery is no star player but he can get some wins.

I think they can go very far with those players. Even win the proleague, by using Flash,815,lucifer,haran,yellow/oops,reach/zergboy in the playoffs. Maybe other 2on2 combinations, they are changing every time.

Go for more 2ch thread translations

But yeah...KTF is really no worse than Lecaf if we wanted to consider the amount of times AT/ForGG/JD got played last season. So really a matter of time before players like 815 get more major league exposure and people will start saying that this is a "smart" strategy.

Honestly, it would be nice if Haji really did start all-killing those threads. I'd pay to watch

? From what I can tell, your argument was accepted by everyone and the op basically said he was exaggerating / venting.

Although I'm certainly ignorant, there a plenty of people on TL like yourself who take the time to help absolve me of my ignorance.

The only player I like on KTF is by.raid from his replays.

Has Jaedong/july-esque ZvT so beautiful, only a few Zerg carry that gift.

Other than that, I dislike KTF..too many gay protoss/zerg for my liking.
Flash is an incredible player of course, but I'm really indifferent about him, he's so perfect its boring.

their line-up is similar to alot of other teams...and they are doing really well.

But unlike other teams like samsung, lecaf, WeMade etc, Flash is their only super power, so how can you expect the coach to not play him :/

Why the fuck are u criticizing KTF for having good players like Flash and 815 to win their games?

Also what do u think of Lecaf winning their games last season mainly because of Jaedong and Anytime?

If you look at the minor league, KTF has second place in that which shows future potential with new strong players for KTF.

And theres nothing wrong with respecting old time greats such as Yellow, Reach, and Ra and cheering for their team.
