I say at least 4 points for Liquid, but I'm not sure for the fifth...
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

seriously doubt Seal can beat TaeJa.. Seal's ZvT is his best matchup but TaeJa's TvZ is his best too

Can't help but agree with the prediction. TL just doesn't have the depth needed to make a good run at the GSTL yet. Soon.

Despite TL getting all-killed against Zenex, I think they still have a shot. NSHS is a pretty strong team though, and Seal is an absolute beast, but I was pretty impressed with play by TLO recently and if he can pick up a win as well as getting a strong performance from two of their three Koreans on their roster they just might be able to pull this out.

You're not biased at all ^_^

Taeja and Hero need to come through for TL badly or they are just going to lose again as bad as it feels to say it.


Not in the slightest =)

After all he took out SlayerS Zerg ace, their Terran Ace, and had to get sniped by their Protoss Ace (after beating their reliable Protoss protege). Most kills, important opponents, impressive fashion. Unfortunately Puzzle got in his way and once Puzzle failed it was down to the scraps to see who could get luckiest on the day =p

Riiight JYP is scraps who got lucky lmfao ok funny joke

Liquid just don't have the supporting players to win. Any of NSH's players could cause an upset and take the win for NSH. Liquid are relying too much on a couple of players.

I believe in TL!

Taeja, Hero, and Zenio all pack a hefty punch, and TLO is definitely no slouch. Add Jinro (who will have a better chance to practice, unlike their match against Zenex) and Haypro, and you have solid support that can always cause an upset.

Yeah i think in the GSTL anyone can take down anyone.
Relying solely on Taeja and Hero won't be good.
Play your best

Ren's Team Strategy Recommendations

TLPD Stats for the TL 6 (Korean Database, 2012/1/1 - present)
+ Show Spoiler +

Taeja (T - code S)
vT 66.67%
vZ 81.58%
vP 58.33%

Hero (P - code S)
vT 76.92%
vZ 68.75%
vP 33.33%

Zenio (Z - code A)
vT 36.84%
vZ 62.50%
vP 50.00%

Jinro
vT 61.54%
vZ 15.38%
vP 50.00%

TLO
data set too small

Haypro
data set too small


Taeja looks well-rounded with some very good TvZ. Hero has that noted weakness vP, but to be fair, it was a small sample size and his losses were to Squirtle and Puzzle (and a 2-1 victory vs JYP)... NSHS can't send out that quality of PvPer. He also has very solid vT snipe potential. Zenio has a surprising weakness vT, but solid vZ. Jinro is surprisingly solid vT, but extremely weak vZ. TLO and Haypro are still new to the Korean competitive scene (this time around), but recent belief is that TLO is getting pretty strong.

TLPD Stats for NSHS's Top 7 (Korean Database, 2012/1/1 - present)
+ Show Spoiler +

Jjakji (T - code A)
vT 52.27%
vZ 61.11%
vP 50.00%

Seal (Z - code A)
vT 42.11%
vZ 100.00%
vP 40.00%

Freaky (Z - code A)
vT 57.14%
vZ 50.00%
vP 42.86%

San (P)
vT 50.00%
vZ 37.50%
vP 76.92%

Tassadar (P)
vT 50.00%
vZ 33.33%
vP 68.75%

Sculp (T)
vT 55.56%
vZ 50.00%
vP 25.00%

Sting (T)
vT 36.36%
vZ 35.29%
vP 52.17%


NSHS has no code S players this season and 3 code A players. Jjakji is okay in all matchups with some vZ snipe potential. Seal's ZvZ seems really solid and should be a concern, but is below average in the other two matchups. Freaky is a bit of an unknown code A with a slight preference for vT and a slight weakness to vP. San and Tassadar have almost mirror stats and while both look like high quality PvP snipers, the opponents in those matches were mostly low Code A and Code B. The coach even had more faith in Sting (TvP favored, but weak overall) instead of Tassadar as a PvP sniper against Puzzle last match. That only leaves Sculp left to talk about who has a glaring vP weakness, but is otherwise decent.

Liquid Game Plan
NSHS top two are strong versus Zerg. Unfortunately for Liquid, half their lineup is Zerg. This will probably be a week to play Jinro over Haypro to limit the Zerg presence to TLO and Zenio. Freaky is a good starting player (well-rounded) so expect to play vs Z first. I like a Zenio start again for TL with a good chance of picking up the ZvZ win. NSHS would likely want to play a terran vs Zenio and that may force out Jjakji very early (Sculp would be a decent play at that point as well). If NSHS plays Jjakji with 4 spots left on TL, I like an attempt by Jinro to take him out. Jinro has some pretty good TvT and an okay chance to take out Jjakji, but the real goal is to force a long TvT and give Taeja a good look at what he will be facing. If Jinro fails to win, I like sending TLO next for another potential snipe, despite being ZvT strength vs TvZ strength (you don't want to send TLO out 4th or 5th with Seal still on the bench, but he could be held for later if Seal goes down early). If Jjakji is still standing, it'd be time to send in Hero (leaving Taeja as an ace). Hopefully Jjakji will be taken out before Hero. If so, I prefer Hero as the final boss (though I don't have a good reason why). I don't see Seal as a huge threat to TL with Taeja and Hero sitting on very nice vZ records at the end of the TL lineup. PLEASE DON'T PLAY TAEJA AND HERO TOO EARLY. So the real question is whether or not TL can beat the NSHS protosses. TL isn't particularly strong vs protoss, but with Taeja and Hero as the final two bosses, I feel like they should be able to take out the code B (maybe low A) protoss threat NSHS throws at them.

Honestly, TL has two Code S and one high Code A/low S players and NSHS isn't close to that. At this point, ZENEX is ahead of NSHS in terms of player ability, they just don't have the name recognition yet. Picking off Hero or Taeja in one game isn't a huge upset. Picking off both of them if they're played as the final two bosses (in either order) would be a huge upset.

TLDR: Play Zenio first, follow with Jinro in almost all cases, TLO 3rd, and save Taeja and Hero for last two (if vs Jjakji, go Hero 4th, otherwise Taeja 4th). If anyone can get through those two in order, they deserve the win.
Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

Rough deal for TL. =(
Beauty is not the goal of competitive sports, but high-level sports are a prime venue for the expression of human beauty. The relation is roughly that of courage to war.
