I disagree, I saw this title and it was painfully obvious Team8 lost. Maybe doesn't give away how embarrasing it was, but it totally ruined it for me -_-. | ||

It's also worth mentioning that the other teams have become stronger. CJ now have Effort and Hydra. SKT obviously have Bisu and Fantasy, and KT's Stats have improved a lot, and now makes a deadly duo with Flash. Woongjin have Soulkey breaking out as a top player, and makes the team really strong along with Zero. Jangbi have found his game again, so KHAN now have 2 deadly dragons. When you look at those players, JD and Baby as the ace players of T8 looks pretty ordinary, but unlike the other teams, T8 have pretty much nothing else to fall back on right now. They have a decent player in Killer, but that's it. If Sea wasn't slumping, things would be different, but I still don't think they would be strong enough to compete with the top 3. Of course, depth is a huge issue for this team. When Clam is not performing for STX, Last rises to the occasion. T8 just can't afford to have players slumping, because they can't replace them. | ||

The lack of sponsors may be a minor factor contributing to the abysmal performance. However, it should not affect the performance of the players since KeSPA is still providing a somewhat stable salaries for them. Well, IMO as long as BW Proleague is around, T8 will still exist until they find themselves the sponsor. | ||

Jaehoon and Tyson isn't going to be good enough practice partner for the rest of the main players, and only 1 protoss rookie to help out isn't going to cut it. Yeah, Sea's TvP was quite solid last season. Kespa should have recruited the protoss players he used to practice with instead of Jaehoon, Tyson and Sang. And it's also Jaehoon's fault that Jaedong lost to Canata and Flash. He really sucks at TvZ. | ||

And then consider the fact that many of the players didn't practice for over a month during the off season since the teams disbanded (this is more serious than you think!). Add on to the fact that the players aren't in the best playing environment ever (it's actually significantly worse) Also consider the fact that since Team 8 only essentially has 6 players, their picks on the maps are predictable. This makes it a lot easier for other teams to snipe them. Dunno why there's hate on Team 8's manager o_O I don't think he pulled off anything that's terribly disappointing yet. Most of the times his entries go as they want it to (for example, Sea *wanted* to play against Kal in the game vs Ace). Just give it time instead of calling anyone incompetent. You guys are terrible. There's many reasons why Team 8 isn't "performing" and honestly I'd just give them time instead of being angry over something this stupid Good points about the acclimation factor and scarcity of players. However, when a team does poorly, blame also gets directed at the coaches and managers. This is seen in many other sports, and in truth, a certain responsibility does fall on them. Furthermore, I do think this speculation is fair, especially considering the hype and expectations that Team 8 originally had at the beginning of the season. | ||
