Do they send Artist as their ace or as their middle-man? Artist could sweep the TSL zergs if he is on his tip-top game, but if he is upset by Heart or Cyrano then Inori is going to have to beat Polt. Heart isn't on TSL, nobody actually knows how good Cyrano is, and I doubt that anybody on ReIGN could beat Polt in a straight up game, even Artist.
Heart went back to TSL.
Cyrano is okay. He beat Nada in the ESV Weekly but Nada is like the tides.
I'm merely talking about matchups. Artist is their best overall player but they may not be able to afford putting him as the ace. Reign's lineup is very small and very Protoss-heavy, so a player like Symbol or Revival could burn a path straight through them if they hold Artist back until the end.

After watching Symbol play yesterday in the Ironsquid qualifier I think he can allkill if he gets lined.

gogo TSL, Symbol all kill ez pz.
People are underestimating the depth of TSL.
|
TSL will take the first game with one of their Zergs, and ReIGN will probably counter with Artist.
I don't see Artist making it past that kill though.
I also don't think TSL will have to pull out anything but Zergs. MAYBE Polt if ReIGN gets that far.
|
tsl will win with only zergs.
not a single polt will given.
|
this is going to be nerve wrecking all i really want is for reign to continue to do better then most people here expect. but at the same time i wouldn't say no to reign winning that would be sooo sweet on so many levels and i feel like reign definitely can win. It wouldn't be nearly as unlikely as most here are calling it.
|
Symbol showed really sick play yesterday, and revival is always good in team leagues. Ill go with TSL on this one
|
ReIGN wins 5-3. Calling it right now. Can't fucking WAIT for this match though. Time to show the world foreIGNer teams mean buisness.
|
I don't expect ReIGN to win but I don't expect a walkover either. It seems likely the it would be 5-2 in favour of TSL, or perhaps even 5-3 if the stars align but I don't see them winning this with Polt being one of the people they have to stop as well as Symbol who is looking good lately.

I think that whoever ReIGN puts out, they're going to need to get lucky against Polt (who I would assume will be the ace for TSL). Artist is probably the best shot they have for an ace, but if TSL plays Polt sooner and ReIGN manages to take care of him, then Artist may be able to reign (no pun intended) free.
Also I hadn't heard about Heart but that's awesome because he's a great player ^^

The Heart bit is not confirmed. He was reported to have left TSL and has been trying to contact foreign teams, but I've also been told he didn't leave the team, and just left the house and is playing from home.

Why don't you just show us the leads? It really doesn't spoil any result.
|
having the leads would give more to comment on thats for sure.
|
Inori is on reign now?! since when wth
|
Both teams have depth problems, but random korean >>> random foreigner.
Inori and Artist have to carry the team, maybe Kiwi can take a game. The others are free wins.
|
This will be very hard for ReiGN but good practice for them at least. GL ReiGN !!

Nice username. Inori transfered to Reign a few months back. He was playing for Reign in the last TAC.
|
My money is on TSL taking it 5-1.
I'd love to see ReiGN win more than one, for sure.

We tried that before, and people hounded their match histories and spoiled the results. It's just easier not to post anything. =)
Edit: But just to tease and torture all of you, I will say that the first match has one Zerg player and one Protoss player in it. =P
