To me having potential does not speak as loud as being in the bottom quarter of the rankings. Their record, to me, says they suck.

thats because you know nothing about broodwar and so can only look at statistics instead of the quality of their players. actually you must be pretty dumb in general because it doesnt even require knowledge of bw to see the fact that all losses being 2-3 shows they were almost there and the 3 game win streak shows that theyre pulling the last bits together.

With that said, with this round almost over all its saying is too little too late. However we should expect to see estro climb in the coming round(s)

They are still a lackluster team that cannot field a decent ace for the life of them. With that record I still dont call them a decent team, though if Sangho or Sea.Really can fill that position I could see them edging into the top six by then end of the season. But can you really imagine them winning the Proleague Finals? Give me a break. eSTRO sucks, sorry.


So because you can't imagine them winning the PL finals, they suck? Not all teams are at either end of the extremes. Teams can be 'ok' and eSTRO is performing decently and if anything, above almost everyone's expectations. Give credit where credit is due. They have gone to ace 8 games out of 10 so obviously the're doing something right, giving legit teams a run for their money.

They suck because they finished last season behind ACE and this season have failed to deliver in almost all of their matches. I said that if they can field a good ace they will be a good team but how can you say that the fact that they "almost" beat 8 out of 10 opponents makes them good? I guess maybe suck was a strong word, but they aren't a fantastic team. I think they have alot of potential to do better than last season but they aren't a top tier team, or even close to being one. Its not like losing a football game 21-7 is any worse than 21-17.


Nevertheless I believe this is a good improvement leading somewhere. Give them one more season then maybe they might edge somewhere near the playoffs.

not really since we were talking about the quality of the team, not the performance of the team

the problem is the focus you give on eSTRO. They used to just suck and be on the receiving end every time but lately they have been improving a lot and no team this season could say it was an easy win (except for ACE ). So instead of saying what has changed on the team you go on "oh, they still suck HAHA" which just discredits them. Not cool really.

I've watched some of Artosis' vods, and basically it seems like they practice a lot for matches and generally over-achieving. They're not participating in individual leagues except for Upmagic, so they devote full time to PL. They're outworking other teams, but I don't know how long they can keep this up.

I like this team, and sort of keeping tabs on them. But estro is still quite lacking in the talent(not potential, but current talent) department. And unless their kids blossom, they're still considered bottom tier, IMO.

Oh, and estro needs an ace badly.

Sea.Really is having a breakout season....he IS Estro's ace and he's getting better and better. Estro is a spirited team that has the potential to do well next season.

No they don't. I've never been in Korea, and I don't even speak Korean, but it just makes no logical sense for players to devote all their time to PL when they have individual leagues to worry about.

Players' practice time for PL matches is totally dependent on what their situation is in the starleagues. Hence, ESTRO with no starleague player can devote more effort into matches.

OK stop telling me they have potential, I know that and have admitted it already. Yes they are getting better, yes Sangho and Really have a chance of becoming the ace player they need and yes they are better than they were. But for the love of god they are still in the bottom quarter of the rankings and havent been playing amazingly well either. They arent a good team yet, they are on their way to being one but not yet. "almost there" and "pulling the last bits together" means they will be good eventually but at this point I still consider them sub par and therefore deserving of the term, suck.
