I love Team 8 but I can't see them beating Khan somehow.

But then again I also couldn't see Stars beating CJ last night, so I'm ready for yet more FMLB if it comes to that. So many upsets so far this season. <3

I hope to see Stork vs Jaedong @ Sniper Ridge.
Stork played so well against ZerO on that map. Interesting fact : Stork is actually the only protoss who won a PvZ on that map.

translated this as part of my application to be a TL translator, i'm glad i finished it before the match started

Team 8 Looking for Their Third Consecutive Win, Must Have an Answer for Protoss

- Team 8 looking to get their third consecutive win when they face Saumsung
- Finding an answer to opponent Protosses is the key to victory

Team 8 is looking to establish the longest winning streak in their short history so far when they go up against Samsung Kahn on Wednesday, February 1st, in a week 4 matchup of the second round of the SK Planet Proleague Season 1.

Team 8, formed from the top players of Hwaseung OZ, MBCGame Hero, and WeMade FOX - teams that were disbanded following the 10-11 season - have only been able to win consecutive matches on just two occasions so far. In Round 1, they beat KT and ACE back to back, but followed this up with 6 consecutive losses. However, they are faring better in Round 2 so far, beating CJ and Woongjin in consecutive games. With a victory over Kahn, they will be able to not only record their longest winning streak in their history so far, but also move themselves off the bottom of the standings table by moving to a 5-7 record.

In their meeting in Round 1, Kahn got the better of Team 8 and defeated them 3-1. (Z)

Jaedong did well to beat (Z)

RorO, but his teammates could not overcome Kahn's Protoss line. (T)

Sea,

Jaehoon and (P)

Tyson fell to (P)

JangBi,

Brave and

Stork respectively, leading to the Team 8 defeat.

Kahn's Protoss line will most likely feature heavily in this match also, and therefore Team 8 will be facing an uphill battle. Sea, in particlar, has been unable to shake off his bad form this season, going 2-7 overall and just 1-6 against Protoss opponents. The team's ace, Jaedong, is 3-2 against Protoss, while Jaehoon is 1-2, (T)

BaBy is 1-1, and Tyson is 0-1, indicating an team-wide weakness to Protoss.

In order for Team 8 to get their third consecutive win, they need a plan against Kahn's Protosses. In recent matches, Team 8 has employed some unorthodox strategies to confuse their opponents, leading some to expect that they will have responses for this match.

Team 8's head coach, Ju Hoon, said that "Everybody knows that Kahn has been doing well this season by relying on their Protoss line. Breaking this line will be a test for us in terms of showing how competitive we can be, so we have prepared a lot for this match, and we will show this preparation in the match."

hoping for jaedong to tear stork/jangbi a new one ^^

alternatively, i wouldn't mind seeing sea get owned by early toss aggression from stork/jangbi either

that would be freaking hilarious

also when will my 2 favourite zergs (shine/roro) get a chance to play? T-T still so sad about my 2 favourite players getting transferred to my least favourite team

I don't think the ramp-block trick will work one these two...

but I hope Jaedong has a new strategie today and crush his enemy!

Samsung has been doing pretty well without them, and they will probably continue to field mostly protoss players. Also Team 8 is known for being weak against protoss, so...

I guess the real answer is that they will field Roro when FPL will start again and there will be anti-teams to destroy :D
