Yep, a star needs something to stand on. Otherwise it is just on the floor.

It's really nice to see that KT is one of the teams that's really worked on its depth. Violet, for the longest while, seemed like a nothing playing who did nothing but disappoint (despite obvious potential), and now he's become a viable ace player for the team. 815's been a solid go to guy for a few wins for quite some time. Luxury's purchase is finally paying off and Stats and Firefist seemed to start playing well out of nowhere.

All KT needs is for Forgg to find a bit of inspiration and they could easily be the force they were in the heydays.
Remember Violet.

I love the point your making of teams not constantly playing only their best. I was thinking of doing a write up w/ something along those lines, you've done an awesome job!

if fOrGG starts playing at the level he was around the Arena MSL, KT would be soooo sooooo soooo imbalanced.

Doctor, I agree with the general concept, but I disagree with the Hwaseung part - the way to build a deeper lineup is not to repeatedly send a player ((Z)Killer) into a situation he's clearly not ready for (Ace matches against S-class gamers). All you're doing there is breaking him down, not building him up. If we were talking about CJ sending (P)Movie out when (T)Iris or (Z)EffOrt or (T)sKyHigh would otherwise be a better choice, I could see it - not only is (P)Movie CJ's best Protoss, he's clearly ready for that experience. Ditto for SKT using (Z)Hyuk instead of (P)Bisu or (P)BeSt or (T)fantasy or (T)Canata - they need to work on their zerg lineup, and (Z)Hyuk is ready for it.

Hell, I'd even understand if we were talking about OZ sending out (P)PerfectMan or (T)HiyA to ACE instead of (Z)Jaedong. Both of them need experience, and Hwaseung needs them to have experience - screw (P)BackHo, he sucks - but (Z)Killer? Seriously? Unless they know for a fact that (Z)Jaedong will leave soon, this strikes me as completely moronic. Even then, I think trading for, say, (Z)815 or (Z)Orion or some other zerg who's at least mediocre would be better than sending (Z)Killer out over and over again. He's not even just inexperienced, he's just plain bad, and throwing an entire round of proleague won't change that.

And seriously, even if they did have a competent, non-Jaedong zerg, they'd be right to send out (Z)Jaedong in nearly every ace match. He is their best player, and the team needs him. If he needs a less busy schedule, fine, send (P)BackHo (even though I hate him) or (T)HiyA to give him a rest in one or two matches, but dear god, don't send (Z)Killer. His ELO has dropped to the point that he's barely ahead of (Z)n.Die_soO, and I don't think we'll be seeing him in ace matches any time soon...

Experience in the spotlight maybe have been what brought back Midas. Although the normal player is able to show only 70-85% of skill on stage, Midas might be able to reveal the crucial last 10-15% because of his previous SKT1 experience.
