PS to the people above mentioning Hoejja: One day, Hoejja will spearhead the rise of left-handed players everywhere... okay maybe not  | ||

Suits me right hoping for an entire year for a resurgence of Calm, with slight ups and then catastrophic downs. It wasn't as bad as being a JangBi fan must have been, but having your favorite team collapse (again) after a brief period of stability, it becoming clearer and clearer that your favorite 2 players (Calm and Kal) will likely never come fully out of their slump, and your least favorite team and player finishing multiple rounds undefeated was pretty horrendous. And now Proleague will likely morph into even more of a 2 team (or even one team) competition. Ugh. But I guess some fans WOULD like that. -.- | ||

Go figure. | ||

I would argue the sentence about GGameo 'who lost out as Jaedong's apprentice to Killer'. GGameo is older than Jaedong and a lot older than Killer (like 5 years) he was never gonna be an apprentice to Jaedong with Killer there. All right Killer was less than impressive at first but he's pulling it together now. Anyway great work really awesome graphs. | ||

It's the other teams fault for not having the money or the strength to defeat T1. Though I'm honestly curious if the natural equilibrium will be reestablished soon - The players doing better are likely to demand a raise, and some of them might migrate. Hopefully MBC will net themselves Sun back. | ||

Hopefully MBC will net themselves Sun back. SKT can keep Sun, don't want him back. Btw, STX Cup Masters begins on 1st August. Final will be held on 27th August. Format has changed somewhat. + Show Spoiler + xxmos will eventually post a translation I guess. It's not on DES yet. | ||

I would have sworn Pusan at least started the year as the manager, and he is a coach now. On July 18 2011 14:15 GolemMadness wrote: Baby is a legitimate ace? Are you kidding? No, I'm not. Obviously he's not Flash, Bisu, or Jaedong, and Stork and Hydra are a little ahead of the rest. But he's up there there with Bogus, Sea, and ZerO, even though he doesn't play quite as many games because there's not as great a difference between him and FOX's #2. He may be the worst ace in Proleague (he's tied with ZerO the worst ace +/- this season), but there's no way he's not legitimately an ace player at this point.

Granted really was never as good as leta, and flying went from the best toss on the team to possibly 4th (behind grape, dear, and wooki), but they are comparable. Wait, what? Grape = KHAN, Dear = OZ, Wooki = FOX. Flying went from best Protoss (after SangHo left) on eSTRO to 2nd or 3rd on Stars behind free and (maybe) GuemChi... this year at least Flying and GuemChi were both bad.

I think I summed it up pretty much with "looks like they'll continue to roll". I'm really not worried about fantasy, he's streaky as they come but pretty clutch - and even if he dropped off the map T1 would probably still be heavy playoff favorites. As far as HoeJJa/BarrackS: there's not that much to say. BarrackS probably should get more play because he seems decent and KT doesn't have other Terrans besides Flash. HoeJJa is a known quantity: a ZvP sniper. But neither even got to 10 wins this season. | ||
