I really don't think you can blame January. Both her Protoss have been completely decimated by ZerO lately and it hasn't even been remotely close.

I do think in those situations though you have to count on your star to step up and be clutch, instead of trying to counter-pick too much and rely on the situation. But then again maybe she just doesn't think Stork is very clutch lol.

I think the only mistake January made in the ace choice was not picking Reality. Stork and Jangbi were obviously bad choices against Zero.

fantastic writeup. i enjoyed the ending where you said "Can KT's backup cards come back in time to restore KT's glory and forever dispelling what's really in our minds -- that KT can't win without Flash? Or will Woongjin's many purchases take them one step closer to Shanghai? We will see." GO KT!!!

Zero's gonna take it all the way ;P. Woongjin's lineup is really awesome, and I'm confident that they can take this, I'm so pumped!

January knows her players and their ability to play certain matchups on certain maps a lot better than we do, and she made her call based on that. It was the correct call. Stork is bad at PvZ these days and Jangbi already got slapped around by the woongjin zergs 3 times. On top of that, they were playing on a map that is T >>> Z >>> P ~ T. She was right not to go with either of those guys. Had great not been slumping so badly in recent months, he would have been the prime candidate to snipe Zero/SK, but alas she had to go with TurN (who could have won it if he hadn't botched that push). It is very likely that the coaches had him practice specifically for the ACE match due to the map.

I get annoyed every time I open the site and see that stupid little kid's face. What an awful picture, try to keep in mind when you do these things that the picture you choose is what people are going to see every single time they open the website.

Why the girl with ice cream and sprite? Im guessing because she is spoiled.. but maybe it's deeper?
