Ace selections. Killer instead of Jaedong? Come on...

why does everyone think the ace selections are weird? the teams certainly aren't going to put out their B players at the end of the season.

for some players, the thing that will always hold them back is their performance anxiety in front of that camera. coaches are putting promising players through the ringer now so that they can perform later.

it would be strange to me if coaches didn't take advantage of the beginning of the season like this.


Why would coaches think like that when the 6th team to make the playoff last season only made it by a difference of a few wins? Not to mention that Oz was trailing SKT in overall standings by 1-2 or wins, and those 1-2 wins determine whether you had to fight to be in the Grand Finals or are seeded in the Grand Finals.

Seriously, every single win in Proleague is crucial. I don't think jeopardizing your chances at making the playoffs in the hopes of giving your newbies some "TV" experience is a good trade-off. If some newbies are absolute beasts in the practice house and just need some TV exposure to shake off the nerves, let them gain that experience in the individual leagues. If they're good enough, they'll prove it in the OSL/MSL. If they can't cut it there, why put them in a team Ace match and jeopardize the entire team?

Samsungs performance, jesus christ.

I fully expected Flash to be better than ever, the rest of his team owning it up is no surprise either.

Is the Modesty vs Killer the only weird ace selection? If so I don't see why just that event should be the most surprising. In my opinion it's the domination of Wemade and Estro who were at the bottom last season.
