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.... | ||

Yeah IMO this is like an individual Power ranking more than anything | ||

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

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