"EG-TL was still not able to absolutely dominate the competition as everyone had expected them to."
Wut? Literally no one expected them to dominate anything apart from the TL staff that wrote the first proleague prediction article.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Alot of people expected Stephano to be successful, Koreans and Forgeiners what are you talking about.
He has beat several code S players in the past- what would change in proleague? Nothing.

You must have missed the thread where they first announced their participation.

So you're Taeja. Your team is down 1-2, scraping the bottom of Proleague, and they're really counting on your win because you're probably their best player. You're making your grand comeback from injury against a terran on a 5-match losing streak and 0-4 in TvT's. You probably couldn't ask for a better opponent to ease your return to Proleague.

Do you:

a) Play a straight-up macro TvT and go for the safe win since you're one of the best terrans in the world right now
b) Go for standard hellion/cloaked banshee harass
c) Go for a high-risk, cheesy, weird proxy factory/starport for hellion/cloaked banshee harass

If you picked c) you are Liquid.Taeja. Unfortunately his opponent chose b), blundered into c), vaporized his hellions/banshee and then wiped out his SCV's with his own hellions/cloaked banshee (literally, there were like 10 SCV's left alive.)

Seriously...how are you supposed to make useful predictions about Proleague when this happens?

Its so funny.
- EGTL announces pl participation
Threadnaught about how the unholy alliance will curbstomp because they are experienced stars.
- EGTL starts to lose game after game.
They don´t have complete lineup, the coach is meh.
- EGTL lose with full rooster and after 2 weeks to practice.
but but... who said they´ll do any good?

Btw, we have what? 1 year, less than 1 year since kespa migration?
And this guys is already half the gsl RO8.
They are learning faster than i thought it could be, i was thinking in something like 2 years.
And in the 7th day, Flash stopped macroing the universe.

Would be cool if one of them won the final GSL of WoL. Just awesome. And it would make the ESF players play better because the competition got harder.

IDk after what i saw last week.
- 1 comment of Kespa > esf in gsl thread becames a riot of argumentation. People screaming, jumping, shoting, etc.
- 1 comment of esf > Kespa on a Proleague thread made 1, and only 1 person answer: "It should be, for you", nothing more.
So it made me ask myself who are the real "religious" fanatics here.
And in the 7th day, Flash stopped macroing the universe.

GSL threads in general have more viewership than kespa threads so more people see it, etc

You want me to link when the first Kespa players won their code A matches? The only place you will find more elephant pics if you searched for it in google.
