Maybe toy with the idea of adding borders to this week's images?

Also the third image doesn't seem particularly necessary....

Anyway, I liked last week's layout since it was simpler, ergo 'better'. But maybe just me :x

Third image is definitely unnecessary, the way it's cut doesn't add much, and you can't even read Hite or see KT. I do like the way you split up the image for the first two.

Also, bodies are cool and all, but why don't you use player faces?

What do you mean?

Personally I like last weeks layout more, but I decided to remake it, because there were some critics about using the players image for the "bigger and better" team, which was originally not my idea, but I dont want anyone to feel bad, because his favorite team got the "logo" side and not the "uniform" side.
I'm putting the third image because it creates a hole frame for the post, I dont like it when the OP just ends with text.

I dont want to use player's faces because this is the Proleague, I want to stress on the uniforms, the teams and the idea that actually the "faces" (jd,bisu etc.) are not playing for themselves but for their teams

I want to find a balance- to keep the OP informative but to put cool images as well, not too many, but some eye-candies to hype ppl more about the upcoming match. I think we need more hype, more pre-game discussions etc...

The double stroke on the player bodies looks really good ;;;;;;;;;;;

I'd prefer lineups to be written in normal, TLPD-ized way. There's no need to make them a pic.
Oh, and the main banner is cool.

Yeah I know, thats why I want to put the TLPD-ized lineups in a spoiler below the main banner

Man these are so cool, I do like them more than last week. The third image is kind of unnecessary though. IMO you don't really need to use player faces to make a good banner, your models are pretty simple and efficient, ergo "better" to quote LR.
