It seems banal to say that human progress is tied to specialization. The erudite scholars of the 15th century, who pondered the nature of man, painted frescoes on cathedral ceilings and observed the nighttime stars while diddling the King's courtesans, dwindled into obscurity as religious faiths clashed. The broadminded aristocrats of the 18th century, who rode home from war to become merchants while pursuing scientific endeavors on the side, were swept away by revolutionary fervor. The larger than life industrialists of the 19th century who, from a single plot of land or drop of oil, built business empires spanning the globe, crumbled under the weight of their own monopolies. Today, to attain mastery in any field one must single-mindedly devote oneself to that pursuit.
Or that's what Coach Cho thought.

CJ Entus in the past.
But I ask you, what is a great PvZ if your dragoons march into a minefield? I ask you, what is a great TvT if a single lurker spine crucifies you? What is a great ZvP, if a handful of marines can sack your main? Skyhigh is a player who, when drenched in bear semen, can take on even Flash, yet he drops games to Modesty and Firefist. Effort is the fiercest ZvPer in the proscene after Jaedong, but he's on a 9 game losing streak versus Terrans. Movie is held back by his mediocre PvT, though right now he's the most solid-looking player on the team and clearly the one holding the fort.

CJ Entus today.
CJ Entus, victorious in the 2009 Winners League, finished second to last this time around. The Winners League was all about momentum -- players had to win multiple games in various matchups. The more well-rounded they were, the better their chances of making it past the snipes, the cheeses, the oh so annoying mirrors. Specialists will win a game in their best matchup, only to lose to any scrub sent out afterwards to abuse their weak matchups.
With the return of the standard Proleague format, can CJ's specialists shine once again? Will Skyhigh serve his purpose and take down Leta in a duel of the Flash-killers? Will Movie defeat hite's many middling Zergs? Will Effort find a way out of his slump? Will players like Snow make an appearance, providing fresh blood to the lineup? What about Idra, their great white hope -- will he be dragged away from SC2, screaming and kicking, to save the team?
It is a matter of life and death. Slumping hard, rocked by the foul winds of sleaze and corruption, CJ Entus will either be reborn, stronger than before, or wither away, remembered only for its past accomplishments.
