If Taeja isn't uber jet lagged from Red Bull, i think TL has a shot at NSH. They have a number of options available to take down jjackji, and i think alot of the other players should be able to go toe to toe with most of NSH's line up. Really looking forward to those games and hopefully a rematch vs Zenex (this time with HerO getting the all kill)

Youch, I hope Liquid members keep their chins up. You can really tell the strength of a team based on their ability to get back up after getting knocked down. Atleast, that's what I see in ZeNEX all the time, they try so hard D:

Aw, man.

Hard start. But I can't really say that I expected much more.

I think Liquid's world class, but they simply can't just walk into GSTL and win. Just doesn't happen.

Life won with simple roach timings in his ZvZs and uncontested mutas against Jinro. Can that really be considered his breakout performance? It looked too easy to really say he played that impressively.

As hard as it was to watch yesterday, I am sure TL will bounce back with a strong week! They always do, so good luck with the upcoming GSTL matches.

It's a good experience, they'll grow as a team and hopefully come back in the future matches. There's no need to over-dramatize the loss, nobody died.

That said, there are some choices by TL management that really rubbed me the wrong way. The decision to split with oGs might make sense in hindsight (given oGs' difficulties / uncertainty whether they'll even play at all), but to participate in a GSTL season with half of the team and two key players missing, on top of it have a third player who's even in Code S go to some random tournament in the US, show up without a leader and a coach on the bench - I'm sorry, but that's just not taking GSTL as seriously as it should have been taken.

Props to the players though, they tried their best and mostly got metagamed/mindgamed rather than straight up defeated. Still keeping the faith for a win vs NSHS.

Hopefully ZeNEX can take SlayerS out too.

I'm loving all these GSTL write ups keep them coming! Tonight is going to be a close match but SlayerS-EG will be able to come out on top!

TL underperformed so heavily, I didn't expect much from the non-korean players of the team of course. But Zenio and especially HerO kinda disappointed.


Why Zenio? He was often in Code S but he much more belongs to Code A...

A good player makes his wins look easy.

So the group works like a code S group then and not round robin? IE if Zenex loses tonight and liquid wins tomorrow then that means a liquid-Zenex rematch?
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Jinro was good about 1 year ago, he is retired in my opinion. Haypro same, but never was good. TLO showed some good games but still can`t get even in Code A, so its a B list player to. they can`t compete with the korean teams, with players that fail to get in code A. Hero was the only A list player, who had a bad day, in rest was like espected.
to much marketing for some B list players

I agree, HerO and Taeja are going to have to be like the old team of DongRaeGue and friends where the rest of the team(most likely Zenio all the time) will try to scrape together a win or two then the powerhouses come in and win games.
Life has won two GSLs and a Blizzard Cup. NOT three GSLs.

Eh I kinda saw liquid being AK'd by zenex, not surprised sucks but hopefully they do better in their next match. Nerves, etc and zenex isn't a bad team at all so I expect the next match to be a lot closer :D
When I think of something else, something will go here
