I wrote that section before/during MLG before Inori got that result. The most recent Inori results I had to go off of were his two losses in GSTL.

Understandable, but he still finished Top 8 the event before. My obvious bias is obvious, but Inori is an amazing player.

Damn I am excited for Quantic vs. Startale. That should be a blast to watch.

I think the writer is slightly underrating TSL or overrating FXO.KR, because FXO has not been looking as strong recently, as Leenock is basically their strongest player, who could lose to the TSL Trinity (Polt, Symbol, Inori). While Polt and Symbol are TSL's strongest players, Inori is pretty underrated, and can take games off Code S players occasionally. I think the score will be more around 5:2 or 5:3.

I would take Polt and Symbol alone as favorites against Gumiho-Leenock-Oz. They are just in better shape.

polt is barely code A, and symbol is great, yes, but dropped games against dream and grubby and inori even. inori is not a longstanding gsl player either.
gumiho-leenock-oz are all former code s finalists/semifinalists; and the point was what fxo 'had' - i think inform FXO trio is much better than tsl trio.

I think it really depends on what your opinion of how good FXO's players in a period when they haven't had that many games to play. Like, you can't always be rolling, sometimes even good players get caught at the RO32-16 of Code S, or just go through a stretch where they don't have that many games to go off of.

I think it's safe to say that Leenock is better than his results, and depending on your personal taste, you could say Lucky and Gumiho are much better than their recent stats show as well.
