I understand what you're trying to say, but out of the 3 races line, don't you feel the protoss line is not performing comparably to other two? Has the manager no confidence in sending out both Jaehoon and Tyson on the same matches? Jaedong did lose to  BeSt and Snow, and both aren't exactly known for their PvZ.Sea's TvP is supposed to be solid >50%. Yet he's 1-7 in TvP, granted he did face opponents known for their PvT, but he lost to both Dear and sHy, ex-Hwaseung OZ toss rookies now helping their own team to victories.I'll be blunt and say the entire team's vP has stagnated. | ||

JD have been a bit disappointing, but right now I'm willing to shrug it off as bad luck and recklessness. Baby is pretty much performing as expected. The results are actually not that surprising. 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. I'm sorry but you're wrong about Jaehoon. No one has ever hyped Jaehoon to be something he's not. If you asked anyone on this forum what they think about Jaehoon (anyone who is decently informed about the scene that is) I'm almost positive that they would say that he is a solid Toss, not S-class, but solid nonetheless. He is NOT overrated. He got 30 wins last Proleague, it's not a stretch to say he is a good player. But no one thinks he is up there with players like Flash or Stork or what have you. Furthermore, let's look at his performance so far in the Proleague. He is currently at 2 wins, 5 losses. On the face of it that sounds pretty bad, but 3 of those 5 losses came against Flash, Bisu, and Zero, all S-class players. | ||

I don't know why people make so much hype about what the Protoss line should be doing. Let's get real here. It's Jaehoon and Tyson, not Stork and Bisu. Jaehoon is 2-5 right now and Tyson is 1-2, which sounds bad but is a lot more explainable when you consider the players that they've faced. | ||

- Presure from an unknown future - Lacking a deep roster of players - Lacking good coaches, 1 is not enough - New team, new teams always struggle I would put most on the first 2 points, players are not used to that kind of presure, they play the game they practice presure from matches sure, but presure from wether you don't know what the future is like would be something that entirerly can mess your head up, let's not forget all these players had troubled times when there teams disolved aswell. Generaly everything is taken care of for a BW player, not so for team 8 so there mind can not be 100% with starcraft. | ||

I agree that their lineup should be more flexible, mixed, less predictable - these rookies can't be so bad that they don't deserve a single chance on stage. If theres nothing else bothering them, outside of the game, for example they know that they are going to disband after this season, i believe that all they need is time, and few more practice partners to play with, as well as at least 1 more coach. Team8 fighting~ | ||

But they've been really really underperforming. I hope something picks up for them, such an all star cast should get some limelight for their hardwork, it's unfortunate, things like sponsors, future of scbw/kespa and coaching staff is all out of their control =T | ||

I don't think we can expect more than a 40% winrate from him, especially not under the new system with bo5's. | ||

This was just...embarassing. Team 8s performance was abysmal and passionless. I've never seen such lopsided games or such thoughtless play from top-level pros. They are either going to respond by going on a tear, or just completely collapse. | ||

The manager doesn't often send out Tyson because he wants to send out his 5 best players in a Bo5. And it so happens his 6th best player is a protoss. Of course the protoss line is not performing as well as the other two. Has anyone ever expected Jaehoon and Tyson to outperform the likes of Jaedong, Baby and Sea? Jaedong's ZvP has been on the decline for awhile now. And how is it Sea's practice partners' fault if Sea is under-performing in TvP when they're the exact same players he's practiced with for the past 6 years. You're not making sense. I'm done arguing about this. | ||
