The Best Games of Shinhan Proleague
Part Two: Weeks 6-10
by thedeadhaji
TeamLiquid: Final Edits
Link to Part 1: Weeks 1-5
As Proleague enters the dog days, the games grow increasingly intense as the teams struggle to maintain and better their position in the rankings. How can we tell? Well for one thing, the list of games for weeks 6-10 is a whole lot longer than 1-5.
As I sifted through these games, I got a little taste of what Etter must go through each month for his PowerRank. In fact, at times I found it nearly impossible to narrow down the list to 5 games per category.
Conveniently, I'm free to bend the rules.
Once again - my biased and personal list of the "best" games of Shinhan Proleague weeks 6 through 10.
When the Past and Future Collide
1. 2007 - 06 - 13 KTF vs Pantech Game 1 - Yellow vs Nada on Tau Cross

Yellow up against Nada: "Haha I am sorry." |
Sea vs Jangbi on Monty Hall
While Jangbi certainly performed poorly overall
this season, he is rumored to have a higher
winning percentage than Stork during practice.
He certainly shows us what he is potentially
capable of against the Proleague monster,
Sea[Shield].

with his 7 stargate carrier.

A Clinic on How to Save One's Ass
1. 2007 - 06 - 06 Pantech vs SKT1 Ace Match - Nada vs Gorush on Python
