if we take into account, that KTF B-team (aka KTF without Flash) has to win only once, and Luxury has good chances against Savior, I think KTF 'll take this.

Stats and ZergBong are going to get pummeled. Everything hinges on sAviOr taking game 3 so that CJ can hopefully win 3-1, otherwise KTF would win if it goes to an ace match.

Flash Neo-sAviOr Actual sAviOr sKyHigh (unless ZergBong has some crazy ass surprise build up his sleeve)
If it goes to Ace, EffOrt > KTF

the sad thing is thats usually the best chance KTF has always..... man lux whts happening?

Predictions:
Movie < Flash Flash is basically an auto vote in PL
EffOrt > Stats Effort is the better player and KTF's only wins have been coming from Flash
sAviOr < Luxury This is a tossup for me but I want to see KTF have someone other than Flash win :D
[b]sKyHigh[/b] > ZergBong Creativity of names, Zergbong wins. Skill, Skyhigh wins :D
ACE:
sKyHigh < Flash

i really dont understand why they keep putting up stats. as a ktf fan, i wod put up 815, haran before stats. and also, i really want to watch hoejja play. after he took down the beast tvz firebathero and 2-0ed much. *hoejja took out firebathero in Group N of the OSL prelims 2-1 :D

They need a protoss; their only other optioin is Tempest who may want to only focus on his individual leagues (GOM before and now MSL).
Hoejja is on B-team, the earliest he can play is next month and that's only if he gets promoted to A-team at the beginning of January.

And zerg, to a majority of people, are more fun to watch (there were polls on this on TL?). This really only affects SKT (and some other team I'm forgetting) and has actually brought out a lot of unknown talent.
This match will, once again, come down to Luxury. He must feel kinda bad.

thats cuz zergs were ALWAYS seen on the 2v2's. i think kespa wanted to show balance by having all 3 races represented with no 2v2. very few teams like CJ, Lecaf,OGN etc. had reliable zergs while just about every team had one or two realiable terrans to fall back on

What I really love about the new PL format is that it helps tremendously the rise of new Zerg hopes like EffOrt or MaGma. The Zerg race really need fresh blood to keep up with the other races (esp. Protoss). Jaedong won't be able to hold the house alone forever.
About SKT, last season they were losing all their 2v2s, now they're losing all their Zerg 1v1s, doesn't make much of a change. The difference is much bigger for teams like Samsung who used to field a strong 2v2 but still lack as of today a good Zerg 1v1'er. But they're still ok thanks to their insanely strong P/T lineup.
ROOTING HARD FOR CJ THERE.
But KTF has the edge :/ - Flash TvP'ing on Colosseum + Lux ZvZ'ing = huge chance to get 2 games in the bag. - In the likely case it goes to Ace, Flash on Destination is going to rape EffOrt, the only hope is an in-form Much but he doesn't look so hot lately (was there rumors about him going to ROKAF soon or was it a dream?).
Praying for a quick 3-1 from CJ.
|
(T)Flash (Z)EffOrt (Z)Luxury (T)sKyHigh Ace Flash > Effort effort lost to gogo on destination -> little chance beating flash. Lux on dest is dangerous as well, CJ has noone in form enough for ace.

I'm really hoping that Movie wins somehow
|
|
i think Savior and Effort are gonna win this one for KTF, unless KTF uses flash for 2 out of three wins..which they will..i kinda hate KTF for that.

Damn Luxury, turn this around already. You were supposed to be the second best zerg in the world.
Stats reminds me of myself (except obviously I suck and am a D level Protoss), in that I usually get a lead, but I have trouble finishing games and I'm often bogged down and lose too many units.

Thing is the only teams with reliable protosses these days are eStro, Fox and KTF.
With Bisu Free Jangbi Stork Best and Kal all playing like noobs its just so sad to see such a lack of protoss in the proscene.

I think he meant without. WeMade doesn't have any good protoss. Same goes to estro unless you think Sangho is good (I guess he is decent but nothing above it). And KTF... Tempest is the best Protoss which is rather sad.

Really nice posts, and I agree with everything you said. Cept the ZvZ. I know it lux and how imba his mutas are, but he's not playing good lately. And well, SaviOr already proved me wrong lately. :3

What the fuck are you guys talknig about? Luxury doesn't have a chance against Savior

The new PL format is good if one of two things happen: 1) The maps are pretty balanced 2) The maps are imbalanced, but generally all towards the same race.
Both of these work to avoid mirrors. If they're balanced, different teams will put different raced specialists on each maps (so about 1/3 of each race would be specialists on each map, and you'd get mirrors 1/3rd the time). If they're imbalanced towards the same race (arguably multiple ones towards P this season), it balances out since you can't field the strong race on every map, and due to randomness the Ps will only line up 1/3 the time (slightly more cause more teams will field 2 Ps).
On the other hand if they are imbalanced so that there's a 60% terran map and a 60% zerg map, etc, there will be even more mirrors than without the rule. Every team has to put out each race, so they wouldn't risk their weaker race on anything but the map that favors them, so you'll get 2-3 mirrors in each match. Without the rule, but with maps imbalanced like this, the 2nd and 3rd best of a team's strong race will likely be good enough to overcome the imbalance. For example, they might play their second best P on a 60% Zerg map, just because they don't have a good zerg and don't HAVE to put one out. Because each team is weak in different races, it then balances out quite nicely for avoiding mirrors.
At least that's my theory, if I worded it so anyone could understand.

revear harass not too effective stops flash from mining for a few seconds but in the meantime flash loses his dropship

Thank you so much Lebesgue and JL13 by the way. C'mon DAUM!!

Both sides are unable to harass each other, which is quite interesting.

Flash is pushing. Movie has an arbitor.

arbiter out.
Nexus at 8 down
Flash moving out with huge amount of tanks

movie takes also top left
emp at arbiter
big battle at the centre but Flash is moving further

Three vessels from Flash. It EMP'ed everything. Movie pulls back after storm a good portion of tanks.
|
Flash rolls into Movie's Bot left.

Shit. That is A LOT of tanks. This expansion should be gone.
|
Flash seiging at the right bottom
Also harasses top left but is forced to leave it
In the meantime there is no way movie an save bottom right
|
vultures in the top left taking all the probes
Again super emp at arbiter and bottom right is down now
|
Movie was going to try something with his Arbiter but it gets EMP'ed. Flash also killed a lot of probes with a group of vultures.
|
Movie loses like 7 gates at bottom left. Looks like he expo'd to Top right quite a while ago.
Movie tries to save bottom lefft, but SV's emp arbiters so is forced to back off.

Flash takes nat of bottom right
Movie with 4 arbiters is moving in the centre
Again amazing emps from Flash!!!
|
again great emps from Flash and movie retreats again
Flash harass 7 with two tanks

Flash catches movie army and takes most of it
Movie loses all(?) his arbiters
|
Flash just picked off at least three arbiters. Movie is like "oh shit."
|
All arbiters dead, movie's main army wiped out
|
Flash totally controls the game
He has huge army
Storm drop from Movie at 8 kills a few scvs
|
Flash doing for final blow going at Movies main
|
Movie storms but its uneffective.
Good god, Flash has such a large army-- well, he is rolling Movie over as we speak. Movie is being very sloppy.
|
Flash seiging 3rd of Movie and is in the main this is over any second
|
|
Strange play by movie. It seemed like he was more interested in getting a 6th base rather than macroing from 5 when Flash had only 3. He also could've recalled while Flash's army moved out, but he missed his timing. He was pretty well ahead, but I guess you can't count out the best macroer in the world even if he is down 2 bases.
|
and here is gg!!!
Fucking good game by Flash
|
Movie had that game, TT his is so weak in macro game
|
|
Games are always over before the game is actually over. So Movie being sloppy is already when Movie know he lost.
|
Damn, look at Flash's pimp ranking. Crown + 4 stars.
|
Wow flash ran over movie at the end...
|
Once again a CJ player loses because he chose to move his units back and forth in the middle for over a minute instead of saving one of his expos. Honestly I don't get it. Save one; save the other; but not being able to decide? Don't they train them to stick to their first instinct?

But I think that Flash won this game with emps. Movie couldn't stop his first push and from that it was over
And Flash played pretty good this game. He did all he need to take that game

Anything to be done about daum sports and daum player being too slow to stream?

I think Movie tried to over-early-expand, which has worked against Flash in the past (GGplay and Stork). It works because Flash turtles pretty hard before his mammoth push. I don't know. Movie just didn't have what it takes to pull it off.

No Academy Award for that Movie

All the expos in Colosseum have so many minerals; it seems silly to try to get 6 bases at that stage in the game. Movie could've just kept pumping out zealots (especially since Flash went very tank heavy without that many vultures) to keep Flash contained and recalled to further deteriorate his position.
|
In my heart of hearts, I secretly want effort to lose and have savior be what he is... the savior of the day and end up winning the ACE too. The opposite of this will happen probably with Effort winning, savior losing to luxury, Iris playing ACE instead and KTF winning.
|
Effort (z) top right
Stats (P) top left
|
Standard forge expo from stats
|
Both scouted the wrong way.
|
Stats goes for FE; scouts in wrong direction
Effort sends his ov in the right direction
overpool(?) for Effort
|
I thought SaiR was facing Mind for a second because EffOrt looks so much like SaiR and Stats looks so much like Mind.
|
Effort takes his nat
Stats puts forge adds one cannon and puts nexus
|
Effort takes 3rd at 4 o'clock
|
Stats adds 2 cannon and gate at his choke
Gas for stats and his 2nd is operation now
Effort teching to lair
|
effort techs to lair in main base. His 3rd just finishes at 4oclock nat.
|
Core for Stats followed by stargate
Effort adds hatch in his main and now puts spire
Robo for Stats
|
Spire first for Effort
Robo going down for stats
Stats scouts Effort's 3rd
|
It appears I can't keep up with this because of my new account status. Keep up the good work JL13 and Lebesgue. Good luck to everyone still trying to get on the good side of Daum and good luck Effort!
|
Stats scouts for hidden expos add he finds 4
|
stats can't keep a scouting probe alive for his life
|
|
First sair for stats
hydra den for Effort
Sair kills one ovie and is punding at the 2nd one but scourages forces it to leave
|
is the stream crapping out for anyone?
|
citadel completes. Forge/core spinning
Effort expos to bot right's main.
|
citadel for Stats he has 3 sairs out
Effort takes bottom left
Stats adds 4 gates and he has revear out
|
starting to crap out for me too damn!
|
Effort wasting a lot of gas on killed scourges.
Edit: Effort FINALLY gets the shuttle, but I'm not sure if it was worth it. I think he lost about 25 scourge trying to.
|
a ton of scourges go boom:|
|
Effort almost kills shuttle with revear. Stats saves it but it is damaged
Effort tried to snipe shuttle with hydras and scourages but stats saves it killing a few hydras and scourges
But effort is at 4 bases now
|
Stats moves out with lots sairs and shuttle and he losses the shuttle!!!
|
Finally takes out the shuttle.
|
rofl all the suicide scourging finally paid off.
|
Battle at 3 lots against hydras; hydras moving back
Movie is taking his 3rd at 9
|
wooot, another shuttle snipe with hydras! x2 shuttles down.
|
ANOTHER SHUTTLE GOT SNIPED!!!!
|
Second shuttle taken down.
|
|
Damn, come on stats. You waste your storms on your own zealots.
Edit: This is over.
|
Stats got the idea to ran his sair through hydras and lost 2 and other are damaged.
Effort with huge army of hydras looking bad for Stats
|
Holy shit. That is a lot of hydras.
|
both games 1:1 at least so we have more games..
|
a TON of hydras and 4 bad storms....
Hydras at +1 weapons, forces protoss retreat from 9oclock
|
Stat's 3rd wil go down as Stats has no army to stop it
|
Stat lost his 3 and doom drop coming into main of stats this can be over right now
|
Effort dropping in Stat's main. This is over.
|
So we finally see Stats's PvZ. He makes all the mistakes of his PvT, but without the excellent mechanics.
|
And here is gg from Stats
Gj Effort
|
Stats ggs, he'll learn a harsh lesson from this I'm sure
|
Stats is making Best's mistakes,losing shuttles
|
Time for some MAESTRO MANIA!
|
KTF's coach actually looks comforting today. Usually, he looks pissed whenever one of his players lose.
|
I guess the lost was THAT BAD, even the coach feels sympathy.
|
Now a commercial of scantily clad hot girls drinking 17 Tea.
|
I choose to watch saint v free and sea vs zero (Both are ggs, watch them) and I didn't realize I was missing effort. Did he show his jaedong-like play again?

My personal prediction is that he is the next super big zerg. I think he rivials jaedong in control/multi-task/macro/micro and timing everything except gamesense.

Oh man, sAviOr vs. Luxury. This is going to be hype.
|
|
Effort doesn't come anywhere near Jaedong in multi/macro/micro. Don't be ridiculous. Effort shows promise but is still far away from becoming a super user like Jaedong.
I'd say his gamesense is his best attribute -_-;;
|
go lux lets go to ace
|
You are not facing FBH or Bisu today-- God, please win.
|
He'll need to practice like Jaedong...
several times a day

He played in a pretty intelligent way but if it is at Jaedong level it is hard to say. Stats just hasn't played well at all.
|
Gonna have to keep my eyes glued to this one.
|
|
12 hatch again savior? lol jk
|
As much as I do like Savior, I'm rooting for Luxury just so we can see Flash in ace match here.
Seriously, KTF. All you have to do each match is win ONE game in addition to Flash. You can't suck that bad.
|
Luxury brown at 3
Maestro yellow at top left
|
both scouting in correct direction, too
|
both scouting with ovies in right direction
9 pool for both
|
gogogo savior!!! That's right, a Protoss player rooting for Savior
|
gas fro both (a sec earlier for Luxury)
2nd ovie for both
6 lings out for both

His micro is definately on par, macro you could be right, multi-task no no and no.
I phrased it badly very badly actually, I mean Jaedong-esqe. When I watch him play its the same as watching jaedong from august-october last year. Brilliant moves , great play, but sometimes horrible decisions.
He is definately not as good as my super-hero, but I think hes the closest around and will only get closer.
|
|
teching to lair.
identical builds atm.
Savior has 2 more lings, lux with drone instead 6v8?
|
Maestor has more lings out
Luxury blocks his ramp with his lings
|
Both getting spire
2nd hatch for both
|
both put hatcheries in mains. Lux with 10 lings savior with 8?
ling dancing at Lux's ramp.
|
|
ROFL. What happened there.
|
savior tries to go up the lus's ramp and loses all but one ling
mutas out for both
|
Maestro loses but so does Luz
Lings kills 2 or 3 drones of Savior
|
|
Muta battle and Lux is getting ahead
|
|
Muta battles and Maestro loses all his muta and here is gg
|
|
;_; 2009 is so close, yet so far away.
|
Someone explain to me how savior expected attacking PERFECTLY POSITIONED lings to end up benefiting him?
|
|
Wow. Luxury's ZvZ is still monstrous.
|
Lux finally wins a game... I guess his ZvZ is still in a good shape
|
dont worry savior, it's still one more day until 2009.
|
Savior must be so desperate for a win right now. =(
|
Ugh that Zergling exchange that left Savior down 4 lings ended up being huge ... Luxury could just go through Drones with very little micro using those 4 lings while the two players concentrated on the muta fight.
And that little bit of econ advantage was all it took, especially given Luxury has ridic muta micro.
|
Luxury perfectly microed against saviors scourges in the crucial battle and it won him the game
|
He was careless to that 4 lings
|
Now it is turn for noone esle but the ZvT monster: ZERGBONG!!!!
|
That overlord pick pretty much got Savior more behind, not to mention, Luxury's zerglings picked off at least 2 drones.
|
Scourges don't work anymore at high level since they die to muta micro. Savior made 4 scourges that didn't deal any damage. Lux did the right thing. Make all mutas and only a pair of scourges. That's the most scourges you'll need.
It's not okay savior! Shape up. It's a cruel world.
|
Now we get to see ZERGBONG! The real highlight match of the night.
|
sigh... my stream was dying so all i could hear was screaming and a bunch of korean which I can't understand.
The screen was frozen on savior's 4th or 5th drone dying to 4 of Lux's lings.... so sad. Assuming SkyHigh wins G4, who will CJ send to get smashed by Flash? . . . . .
|
That was really bad drone defense vs the lings. One sunken alone isn't gonna kill 4 lings fast enough. He had to use the drones too.
|
And luxury was ahead 1 muta every time they fought. I think that early lord stalled saviors prediction for too long.
Notice that luxurys overlord went down rather then home. Savior didn't find his OL fast enough even thou mutas popped at the same time + he took damage to get that kill , albiet 30-40 damage, its still not good.

Not important. But I think it was 2.
|
That 3 drones Maestro lost from lings was enough for Lux to take the game. But I guess it all started when he wanted to break Lux ramp and lost all his lings.

Yeah. They showed in the replay it was 3. That a freaking good exchange for 4 lings in ZvZ

Even in the replay the stupid obs didn't show it, but savior was using scourge also at that exact moment.
To the guy that said savior making scourge was bad.
I can't attest for EVERY zvz build order, but I'm sure that he wasn't planning on 4 scourge,he lost a lord, and had no choice (Red supply) and since you can't stop fighting for air superiority zvz. He had to do it.
just my opinion

How soon can Hoejja be added to the roster for KTF? Do they have to wait until the end of this segment in the season?

Perhaps while faded, he is the most ferocious Z player in the world.

skyhigh plz own the bong so we get to see flash in ace.

It's weird how rare this actually happens. Most of the time when I see games where there's a big skill difference, games turn out fairly standard and the crappy player gets his ass kicked.
Perhaps some sort of weird code of honor that South Koreans adhere to or something?

Looks like a Kwanro 2 hatch build, 12 hatch 11 pool 10 gas

2nd racs for SkyHigh

I guess its just not easy the execute a cheese/tricky play versus a very good opponent. :/

SkyHigh forces his way up the ramp but scv got immidiately killed by 2 lings
SkyHigh gets his nat running now
|
hydra den for bong
Bong has lair now
academy for SkyHigh
|
Maybe a 2 hatch lurker drop on the way?
|
2 scvs scouts for skyhigh, spots the zerg's tech.
|
3rd racs and engineering bay for SkyHigh
bong morphs 3 lurkers
|
Wow, smart by SkyHigh, bunkers up the back of his natural also.
|
2 lurkers going backdoor and get pwned.
|
2 lurkers goes into nat of SkyHigh but get quickly killed. Pure waste...
Factory for SkyHigh
|
What was that. He just lost two lurkers.
|
perfect counter by SkyHigh, eh I wonder what ZergBong has up his sleeve now -_-
|
four bunkers, no fucking way anything is going to get through that.
yep, shitloads of lurkers wasted yet again.
|
|
bong gets more lurkers but is losing them carelessly here and there
bong pushes SkyHigh back to his nat slowly
|
dammmmmm zergbon g is dumb
|
hah welcome to bunker town
|
|
That was terrible ZergBong... Usually attacking a quad bunker doesn't work.
|
wow SEXY play with the bunkers, and delaying the lurks long enough to finish them!
|
|
bong tires to break nat of SkyHigh and loses almost all his forces. SkyHigh has there 4 bunkers
Spire now for bong
|
Zergbong fucked. Has 3 lurkers, no 3rd base, and 11-12 drones on minerals.
|
|
what was bong thinking.. could've at least gone around to left side of his nat with lurkers..
|
|
Seems to me like he wasn't even planning to go for a long game. No queen's nest or anything. No expo.
|
Siege tanks with siege mode out for SkyHigh
Dropship out for SkyHigh
He gets also science facility
|
damn it, zergbong is playing the way I would on iccup so in other words, this wont end well for him lol
|
bong is about 9 lurkers vs 4 bunkers... you can only imagine how that goes....
Starport+tower up and blinking. It's a dropship.
Spire around 500 hp. Bong still on 2 bases.
Bong suicides ling+5 lurkers into natural.

That is exaggerating. He is still very much in a slump. If not for tonight's win, Luxury's December winning ratio is 3 wins - 4 losses (42.86%).

I found a stream that loads quickly, but after some time it just starts showing a frame every 5 seconds while maintaining audio>?

the cheddar terran smells fresh blood.

its not an all-in style cheese though and he is probably able to do enough damage to still be able to take the game even if the game does not end there.

he cheeses so we can watch other ace

yea, but this is destination
it's hard to take a 3rd
if it worked on medusa it'll work even better on destination

Now that the initial mutalisk harass has been repelled, it looks like Flash has a pretty firm advantage.

Flash beautifully intercepted Muta and muta harass is pretty much stopped now
Flash at 4 facs

Oh no. Effort's mutas is getting picked off.

Flash is so good with goliaths :O

LOL THE CHINESE STREAM HAS THEIR OWN COMMENTATOR NOW

Flash's goliaths are so good.

Flash attacks nat but is repelled
Flash pressing again with no effect

nvm here comes the tank
|
Effort's in a world of hurt.
+1 armor for Flash
+1 air weps for Effort
at least 15 or so goliaths vs 3-4 muta? and like 9 hydras....

Flash pumping goliathes
Huge battle at the bridges of Effort nat ut Flash kills whole Effort's army

the commentator totally ruins the stream.
|
He doesn't even need that tank but there it is.
|
|
Tank is out for Flash and he is ready to break the bridges at Efforts nat
|
What a disappointing ace match, haha...
Flash has clearly had this game since like the 5th minute.

Yup, +1 weps finish for Flash as well.

Effort is contained and there is no way he can break it
Sunken is down
Effort picks up tank but another arrives

God, the MBC commentators are so hype! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

10 points go to Effort for being able to get hydras out.
10 points fucking taken away for wasting hydras.

terran mech is fucking impossible to beat when it reaches this size.

Fantastic win from Flash. Effort did not play poorly, but Flash just seemed in control even after the failed bunker rush.

V_V Why would you not attack move everywhere especially when you know mines are out? And why would you still go mutas when 2 goliaths murdered your overlord before any mutas are out? GAH!! Effort!

no it wasn't.
It was an expo delay rush into a low eco vulture, so the hat won't be down for long when the vulture comes. Flash didn't play to have 2 marines blocked from entering the block (1killed 1 turned around)
This build is fucking dope, I think its gay more terrans don't use it.
It fucks up zerg timming so much, and the only direct counter, is 3 hat speedling before lair, which is hard to do since 2portwraith with vulture defence will own your bones.

anyway upmagic's bunker metal's damn strong on this map
|
Yeah, it's a nasty ass build. It's a shame lots of Upmagic's creations don't get played by players with better mechanics. I think they'd fare very well.
|
Why smbd cant give Effort an opportunity to play swarm play ? His play againts mech. is poor. But his play againts bionic is perfect. Light,Upmagic and now Flash killed him with mech

Effort! mutas are fine vs goliath, theyre the best counter actually. especially on a map like that. if you go ground t will just abuse the hell out of you and turtle with vult tank till theyre invincible.
problem was he was stuck at low econ cuz of the openings and you cant play with low econ vs mech.
|
I guess that's true that it wasn't "failed" so much because it succeeded in delaying the natural expo for a while.
|
The build, 6 rax is actually something Mind did at the start of the mech revolution.
He has another one rax on 8-gas on 9, factory on ten he did this one vs ggplay on req on gomtv
FBH tried to use the same build for a super fast vulture TvT and failed hard

Yes the rax delayed the hat which delays eco, the vulture does damage/wins the game or delays, that way the timing for mutas is useless. I love clever terran play.

if only lux wins all of his games...

mind never bunker rushed
anyway effort got beat by this twice now, god his next vT I wanna see this if he smashes / gets smashed again

Great play from Flash today. Good for my fantasy team. Also I am happy to see that Luxury still can win. And as expected ZergBong turned out to be a huge fail.
Actually I just realised that in all 5 games players from my fantasy team played and in all 5 they won. Yay
|
Question now is can Luxury win any OTHER matchup, or is KTFlash doomed to many 3-1's to come....
|
Went exactly as expected.
Please, KTF, get some depth so you actually have a non-zero chance to win PL.
It's just painful to watch KTF use the same "strategy" again and again when it's doomed to failure in PL finals, and will only lead to Flash being worn out for the individual leagues just when we need a strong TvPer the most.

wow ! come on savior win f*cuking game !

I kind-of feel sorry for the guy. He waits all this time to get another chance and he blows it.
|
All right, KTFlash comes through again.
|
|
I hate how CJ has such a deep team and KTF has 2 players and those 2 players are enough to win
|
CJ has no star that is playing at star level right now though. They are all mediocre players right now on CJ.

yeah but what happens to KTF when they make playoffs and they have to win 4 out of 7 matches?
CJ is at least deep enough to steal wins in the playoffs from less deep teams

Flash....jesus what a monster
|
Yeah, KTF sucks too. But they have the ultimate Super User. But CJ really needs someone to step up to Super User level.
|
KTF is not in bad shape, they have Luxury and Flash.
With the way Luxury playing, they'll have a lot of problems in round four though =\
|
But damn. I Luxury loses then there is literally noone to win a game to take the match to Ace... WTF? All those new faces are losing hard recently; it is not even fun to watch (ZergBong and Stats today). The only one I still have hope for is Tempest...
