I wouldn't care about saviors loss, even if it was an ace match, it was zvz, i expected him to lose... i knew he would 12 pool too.. but dragging it out that long when he knew from the spore colony snipe he'd lose, along with 2 evo's and pointless ling sneaks, it LOOKED sad..

however, savior being sent out in every matchup so far shows he is doing much better in practice, so that's a good sign.

If any other player played the same game as savior, they wouldn't get as much shit as he does. I still hate spore turtling, especially at pro level, where it only works vs real low eco builds, not overgas.

TwoTone I usually agree with you but Estro has been lucky as hell to be 2-1 so far. They needed a baller build (against Best) that another team would have saved for a Starleague and TheZerg fail, followed by CJ sending Savior in ace when virtually any CJ player would have beat Hyvaa (hell Hydra just did).

Upmagic has looked good and Really has looked decent but overall the Up/Really/Hyvaa/Sangho combo doesn't compare at all to virtually any other team. First three matches of the season a lot of things can happen, especially when teams are more focused on building confidence and getting people playing time than anything else.

Estro is improved and I generally root for them, but they're still a weak team. I'd put down $100 that they don't make top 6 in the 09-10 season in a heartbeat, any takers?

Estro, while lacking a solid ace of course, has a stronger four man line up than any team not named KT/SKT/CJ/STX at this point. Hite and Khan should, but both have atleast 2 star players slumping (Arnc-Leta and Jangbi-FBH, maybe Stork). Woongjin's Kwanro/Zero/Free/Shitty Terran lien up seems alright but they're getting stomped by weaker line ups, as well.

It doesn't really matter that Estro's winning with crazy builds, or that Estro is getting lucky with easier ace match picks -- builds and luck are all important in proleague, and apparently Estro has them in spades. Regardless of any excuse, they're 2-1 in round 1 vs the arguably 3 best teams, with STX coming up. That deserves praise.
