While Hyvaa and Classic (sadly) seem to be lost causes, I think that STX is fairly decent. As for Team 8, well, I don't really care because I'm excited for how ACE is doing! Woo go ACE!

That fast ebay +1 marines is a very solid bo.

Good flanking and delay while keeping your third hatch running is really imperative for zergs to win a TvZ .

i know some people seem not to agree but i think the matchups are a big part. maybe only playing 6 people is what makes it so predictable but come on. they got their ZvZ sniper a ZvZ, they got their TvT sniper a TvT, and the other three games were super-favorable matchups for STX. there's a reason sea hasn't played and zergs or terrans yet this year, there's a reason baby only played one zerg, tyson and jaehoon haven't gotten many terrans, killer hasn't gotten a protoss.

that said the individual players definitely need to start performing. baby and jaedong are the only two with positive records and killer is the only other player with more than one win.

They are a new team , you can't expect them to be filling in the results with wins when their team isn't fully sponsored by a company at all . So there is substance but the hype is merely done by people to get interested of the team . Takes time to set up a team .

What do you mean? Talent has nothing to do with sponsorship. Everyone on T8's top 4 (Jaedong, Sea, Baby, Killer) has more that a good chance of beating any other player, even Flash. They are simply underperforming. And this is not a "new" team per se, these are war veterans who found themselves out of a team, but their experience and talent is lightyears from being considered "new team" as you call it. Something is wrong here somewhere.

When your team only consists of 6 players you are going to be out-matchup'ed a lot. They may not be able to afford Hiya but they should at least keep other decent fillers like Midas or Roro or Shine. Shy had to be cheap. I think Kespa didn't understand that just having a roster of albeit a very talented 6 is still not enough. You need fillers. Unless, of course, its TBLS in which case you only need a roster of 3.

This is a very excellent analysis.
