I felt this was a little too optimistic but didn't want to go against the group, but I guess logic wins out over emotion once again. Then again, it was just one match, so let's see what happens next time.

Pretty accurate ranking here, CJ won the previous PL based mostly on their SC2 performance but are ranked near bottom while EG-TL both combined have only reached a 2nd place in an all-kill formataeja and are rank 1.

Unholy alliance is overrated. I still believe SK T1 will do much better.

KT at #7 and EG-TL at #1 is hilarious. I only just saw this preview but I'd have said this regardless.

KT is an established team that has a core of multiple championship winners, great camaraderie and staff. Oh and they also have the best RTS player alive heading their roster.

EG-TL is a ragtag group of big-name mercenaries thrown together into a new environment (not unlike team 8) that is collectively unproven. The training environment, management, player commitment and availability have me thinking this team will be doing well to remain competitive, let alone dominant. They have maybe three players who can hold their own for a while at least.

To think a foreigner team can go into Proleague and be a heavy favourite to make the finals is such hubris. It's hard enough beating players from the Korean team houses when they're on foreign soil in mass game, (almost) 0 prep tourneys (MLG/DH). Now to go and play them in their own booths and league that they've been accustomed to for years, albeit in a new game, is going to be ridiculously tough. Added in the preparation time the Kespa players thrive on, the complete dominance of the MvP invitational, the superior training environments and dedicated coaching staff....

I didn't think the Alliance would really be #1, they have the most well known players as far as SC2 results go, but this is ProLeague, it's a whole different beast than they're used to.

Hopefully this first match was a shot in the arm for EG-Liquid and they really prepare well for their next match to compensate.

Looks like trusting my instincts and not giving into the hype was the correct move.

It's been proven time and time again, money can't buy results, it takes time, hard work and commitment, and a lot of the EG players just mess around as if it were a frat house...

This is something the foreigners should stop doing, and the teams and managers should start forcing the players to train, or to leave.

Are you referring to the number of copout remarks and excuses sprinkled throughout the article? Probably should have taken all those things into account when raking the teams.
