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.
while i agree that jaedong isn't playing at full strength, he went 5-2. and baby went 5-1 with his only loss being tonight, which, while decisive, didn't really show up any flaws except maybe lack of preparation. now killer is 2-3 and sea is 1-5. jaehoon is 1-4 and tyson is 1-3. i think it's hard to deny that the big missing link is sea and i also think it's hard to deny that a huge part of his problem is the failure of the coaching staff to place him in anything but TvP.

Fully sponsored team have B teams , Much more Larger Roster for example skt 1 zerg brigade , Better environment and such is what benefits from a fully sponsored team .Like i said it takes time for the team to jelled together , rome isn't build in a single day .

the pincers just weren't working against +1 attack. bogus was tearing through his mutas before the lings could do that much damage.
I think (hope) that team8 will perform better next round, we have made it to ''ace'' match 4x now, we should be able to pull back from the depths and get a decent placement, I still have faith.
This has been really heartbreaking to watch. I mean, what can a Zerg do differently against a build which sole purpose is to deny their 3rd base? Even Soulkey himself fell prey to firebathero with this kind of tactic. I like Bogus and STX deserves this win but it doesnt take away the fact that watching Team8 lose like that is so painful. They just couldn't catch a break and keep taking hit after hit after hit..

Yeah, and they were pretty desperately controlled aswell...
Nah, Last isn't a TVT God. He need to beat skyhight or Flash or Baby (or even Fantasy...) in a straight up macro gamo, positionating and such. Today Baby was expecting wraiths, that's why he got early armory and academy.

Hardly. Check out the pages for Jaehoon's game. That was the best game of the night by far.
Ah, nice to hear someone acknowledge Jaehoon's play. I will watch the VOD later. I deliberately missed the match because I thought I might have been the jinx behind Jaehoon's losing streak.
