Basically KT Rolster. KT pretty much had one great player (Flash) this year, because their Zerg (Luxury) was banned for match-fixing, and their protoss (violet) got cancer or something. KT Rolster was even known, in ~2008, as KTFlash, because he'd completely carry the team. They beat SKT T1, a stacked team, in proleague finals. Edit: Grammar | ||

Naniwa is gonna get rolled by Lucky in Code A, then maybe he'll stop being over hyped. Pshyeah, run of the mill Code A players. What noobs. Anyways... All this arguing is kinda silly. TL and EG are both great teams... but the really important thing is that EG has considerably more depth. Hero, cool. Maybe Ret. Then who? Sheth, meh. Tyler and TLO and Haypro? LOL. EG... HuK, IdrA, and Puma? You're gonna almost certainly be favored, ezpz. Then DeMuslim, who's no chump. And then you have the not-so-greats of iNcontroL, Machine, etc. When it comes to a team tournament, EG is going to have the advantage over TL, especially if EG has access to its whole roster (EG didn't even use IdrA this time) or if there are more games being played. They have more amazing players. | ||

Of course, both want to win (who doesn't), but I think it's pretty obvious TL isn't about winning every single tourney. But above all that, TL, the site, has done so much more for the community than EG lol. Good win by EG. But TL always gonna get my cheer! Yeah I bet they lose on purpose to show people how good they are. | ||

Since this is a grudge/ego high running match tho, anything can happen. If ret pulls the upset and liquid gets lucky with a 2-2 they lose though. People keep saying HuK will be EG ace, when it wont be. Puma will be, and he will crush any player they use (more than likely will be hero, and puma will smash him i expect). I am not a puma fan, im a hero fan through and through, but im just being honest. Woot Woot. Called it :/ | ||

I can assure you that every member of TL would shoot this down in an instant. They're of course proud of their website or whatever, but they are first and foremost competitors and have the mindset of wanting to win at the top of their agendas. Also kinda ignorant to not know what EG has done, but that's an entirely different topic. I'm pretty confident that they would all tell you that anything short of a win is a disappointment for them. | ||

I'm not saying they don't want to win. Who doesn't want to win? Everyone does, and I'd love to see TL win. But I'm just saying my expectations for the TL team are very different based on the context of the team itself. | ||

As it stands, in the past MLG's, IEMs, GSLs, etc, Idra almost always places higher than Ret. The only one I can think of Recently where he didn't was IPL3, where I think they tied? Or ret came in a couple places ahead. Obviously they are both terrific players, but I find it odd that someone actually thinks that Ret is more sucessful than Idra. (At least recently, I.E. past 6 months) this isn't fanboyism either, my favorite foreigner zerg is Sen anyways -.- Very well said, neither ret nor idra is my favorite zerg player but strictly speaking recent results idra has an edge, that said I still very much enjoy rets play whereas the only MU I like out of idra is his ZvT. Anyways nice comment in the midst of people feeling the need to pick at your comment despite its obvious offhandedness, no normal person would assume you actually thought you knew the exact percentage of tournaments idra was placed higher in. | ||

also, puma's a TvP specialist. it was just bad luck that liquid's best player gives the other team the perfect matchup. | ||

Puma's TvP is his best, but I'd hardly call him a specialist. In NASL S1 he 2-0'd Ret and 3-1'd July, which are not small feats. He's also done very well at MLGs in pool play, and in the championship bracket eliminated Polt 2-0. Saying Puma is a TvP specialist is like saying Idra is a ZvT specialist, or Select is a TvP specialist (or Elfi is a PvP specialist... lol) | ||

Every team, and every player is about winning every single tournament they enter. TL has done an enormous amount for esports for an extremely long time in areas other than playing, but how do you equate this to mean that they are 'much less competitively-oriented' than EG? Also, don't disregard what EG has done for the community. They host the EG masters cup, a great foreign clan war, and they regularly release plenty of other content as well. You are coming across as simply trying to find an excuse for TL's loss. Gratz to EG for the victory | ||
