With every step eSTRO takes up the ladder, I find myself liking them more and more. First with the Flying all kill and then watching the epic PvP with Sangho. And we haven't even seen Upmagic yet in this series. They'll have my support until they reach CJ, and should they make it past that, I hope they take it all the way.
FB was very dangerous during All-KIll league, but then again, luxury was raping and so was Flash. I am not saying either are in a slump (obv flash is in gom finals) but neither are showing the dominance that they were 2.5 months ago. Hope that estro keeps it up since it's kind of a feelgood story, but they sure are putting a cramp on the starquality of the games (not that it matters SANGHOvGUEMCHI)
I'm pretty sure (as far as i can tell from KT's official website) that KT fingerboom is now simply olleh KT (the name change of KTF was b/c KT and KTF merged into KT)
If estro had just one star player I assure you they would do a lot lot better. Every time i see "Finger Boom", that song "Finger Bang" from South Park starts playing in my head. Ridiculous.

same here. good thing it's one of my favorite episodes or I would have gone insane by now.
I'll live report as long as the stream is smooth. Hopefully we get another ridiculous game like Guemchi vs Sangho

Thing is I usually get a robotics as soon as I see a hydra den to be safe. I'm not sure if that's correct but I do so anyways and it works. I wonder why Flying didn't expect Lurkers after seeing a Hydra den. Probably expected a hydra break though...

They are already 2-0 down with their hottest players out, even if Up wins his match, it will be easy for KT to snipe him. Estro is fucked now.
estro doesn't have a chance to win now I'd wish for a hyvaa allkill but it'd be impossible. He has been playing quite bad lately, and even while he was good he lost to lux and flash...
God that kid is so bad and awful, I almost wish he could hurry up and lose more games in a more humiliating fashion so eStro finally stops playing him.
hyvaa you are so bad...Sigh, I guess it makes more sense to save Upmagic for last.

Hyuk had a fucking build order win. You can't even compare that to Upmagic vs Flash.

The fact that you use Hyuk > Jaedong as an example proves that you didn't watch Upmagic vs Flash.
Hyuk vs Jaedong was a fucking BO win. Even a retard should agree with that.
Upmagic vs Flash on the other hand was different. Flash clearly raped Upmagic every way possible. Upmagic was fucked on all ends. Flash had BCs and Upmagic had no means of antiair. Upmagic then proceeded to win the game. If that doesn't say something, I don't know what does.

He just had a lucky streak. Then he cried when he pulled off a 3-kill in a match and then did NOTHING AFTERWARDS EVER. There's something about him and Zero and that just makes me want to root against them even tho I like eStro and Woongjin.

You're gonna tell me what I did or didn't watch? My point was that anyone can beat anyone... And we all know Flash's TvT wasn't exactly top notch at the time, and Up was playing great. Up vs Flash was an amazing tvt, one in a hundred. But still, no way estro or up can turn this around.

PS. You're right. Flash's TvT wasn't exactly top notch at the time. It was only around 68% or so. + Show Spoiler +

They are 2-0 down, Flying and Sangho out. It's rational to expect they can't win, but miracles happen.

I don't know why isn't hoejja doing better overall. He has shown intelligence and talent in his gom matches. there were even a few amazing games. Did a nice job here tho, with 2 wins.

With both ForGG and Luxury left, and Flash being the only person on all of KT who actually has meaningful games to play in the next two weeks (GOM/Blizzcon), I would certainly hope KT doesn't send him tonight.

lol get off my case. You people sure love to post to diss someone or prove him wrong. w/e i fucked up, who cares. You happy now?
Hahaha. I'm not dissing you I'm just pointing out that Estro still has a shot. Also, the only thing you said wrong so far I believe was that Flash's TvT sucked back then

I didn't mean it sucked, I meant he was doing better at other MUs. At least it seemed so to me back then.

Flash lost 3 gigantic TvTs (and should have lost a 4th to Hwasin on Medusa but miracled a win as is customary for him on that map) to Upmagic, Leta, Leta, which basically got him knocked out of both leagues.
He really shouldn't have lost to Upmagic, nor should he have been eliminated in a Hwasin, Best, Upmagic, Flash group. That if nothing else was his biggest missed opportunity.
Amazing. I can't even remember the last time Firefist won a game. And KT winning without having to bring Flash out. Maybe they'll kick their asses into gear next season after all.

Or it was just estro sucking today. xD Hope you're right, tho.
My question is why do teams tend to send relatively new/rookie players on this Masters Cup? Is it because there isn't so much on the line and the coaches want them to have more stage experience?

Pretty much.
And, because it's an all-kill format, sending in Flash last isn't going to make much difference vs. sending him first. You might as well use up cannon fodder and wear out their aces.

Because it's pretty much a "for fun" tournament, so you're right, they send out the rookies so they can get more experience.
Happy that Firefist won... I was thinking he was going to retire soon with his results recently. :/. This should be an ego booster for him and hopefully his play improves
... He's gone bio for the past few games TvZ actually for that reason. I'd assume he mechs when he feels he's better and just wants to win by mechanics.
