EPTActually I don't think it's a part of the contract or anything. It's just Oz wanting to build a stronger lineup. Let's not forget this is R1 people.

R1 is pretty important, khan beasted r1 and r2, which is why they made it to playoffs even though they failed later on. | ||

I mean Oz knew they could always abuse JD's strength to win their games. But when it comes to playoffs with Bo7, they are gonna lose badly due to lacking of depth. So throwing away R1, R2 or even this season to boost up their young players' confidence and experience is, in my opinion, a decent move. Having said that, I don't really have faith in Killer. I know he's still young and stuff but I don't see any spark of talent in him, at all. Maybe he needs more time, I don't know, but I really think that Oz should place their bet on another player. | ||

They are looking exactly like KTF last season. Also, I dont see anyone stepping up, ala violet, for OZ anytime soon. Perfectman and killer are both all hype. | ||

And even if it wasn't labeled ace match, the fact that it wasn't on the initial lineup is a giveaway that it's an ace match. Spoiler-free in the context of recommended games means that it doesn't give away the exact winners of the game in question. Obviously looking in recommended games at all has a chance of telling how far the match got. It gives away the exact winners of earlier games (in this case, games 3 and 4). And yes, recommending game 4 is also a spoiler. It's simple not to spoil them--just use an extra spoiler, like this: + Show Spoiler [game 4/5 if necessary] + . | ||

You never know when someone might step up. Remember that Violet used to have the lowest ELO of any active player. | ||

Case in point: interested in game 4, wanted to see if others were recommended, didn't want to spoil the results of a game I watched. | ||

You don't know which combination of players won which games, so it in essence doesn't spoil anything. | ||

I guess you could partition recs into 1-3, and 4-5. That's not too big of a hassle. | ||

Roffles, suppose you are watching game 4, and you know the match goes to ace. Then you know who wins the 4th game. | ||

Oz isn't the first team to lose a game to ACE. IIRC ACE won 3 or 4 games one round, and I think they were against all different teams. KHAN almost lost. But KHAN was smart in sending a good ACE. | ||

The guy is terrible, and I can't imagine his play in pratice game being so much better that makes him Oz Ace player. Send anyone else. Send Lomo, whatever. Same here. Jaedong may not play that's fine (that's even good for Oz, to be less dependent of him). But why KILLER, why? | ||
