So what exactly does make a good team? Is it enough to have a superstar, especially if the match the individual player playes is just a best-of-one? No.


Team DRG begs to differ.


They won a GSTL without him.


They won the FINALS without him. They would NEVER have made to the playoff without DRG... Just look at what happend in the fantasy team league. It was always the same thing : team gets demolished, then DRG come into play and make a 3 or 4-kill. Even if now it isn't carried by DRG (I would say now it's carried by DRG and the usual protoss that carry teams now (like creator, vines, zenextrem, puzzle...), they were team DRG for at least 3-4 months....

Didn't FXO just lose to TL recently in NASTL? Why so little faith in the boys in blue? (seems to be a recurring theme!)

Either way, I have faith they can take it.


Yeah they did, score was 3-1 Zenio lost to GuMiho while Ret, HerO and Sheth beat Lucky, Tear and Choya respectively.
The thing is in an all-kill format GuMiho can do a lot more and the code S v Code B matches won't make as huge a difference.

I still think that TL can take this but the format is better for FXO than NASTL

Edit: I just looked up the NASTL stats and FXO lost 3-0 to both Mouz and Empire, against 5 Terrans and a Toss. While clearly the FXO line-up has a weakness it isn't one that TL will have a lot of luck in exploiting with only one Terran in the line-up and Jino looking like one of the weakest players for liquid recently.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

Just a heads up, a few spelling mistakes on the last part (by Naruto).

I disagree with both predictions.
I think same scores, but opposite teams will win.
Starcraft is a lifestyle.

I think this theme of betting against `Liquid is really working out well for the team in general.

Thanks for the critics, be it positive or 'negative'. I don't mean to make up for mistakes / no in depth analysis but I was asked very short before I actually wrote it so I had to kind of rush it out. What VirgilSC2 said is obviously very true, map choice is a topic on its own.

There are so many variables you don't know that can lead to a team choosing a player / a certain map. It can be a lot of combinations be it

Good for X race vs Y race,
player being a sniper for a certain race
prepared build of one player + on one certain map

but there's also the counter-dynamics in which you can take away by chosing a map that might not favor you in a certain match up, but would favor their aces against your top players later on, so you basically steal away maps. Really hard to call out everything but thanks for the heads up.

BTW: I didn't join the writer / staff team. I just was asked to write a bit. I do lack the vocabulary to write amazing stuff just like the TL-editors do all the time. I wish I could be as good as them, but thats just not the case. I still enjoy on giving some insight if I can !
