edit: Idra could perhaps take his game. I always think DeMu is overhyped. | ||

sad to see IdrA not given the chance of performing his best match-up | ||

For some reason, FXO hasn't been performing well in these online team leagues. | ||

I think EG's line-up already got meta-gamed (EG fan here) sad to see IdrA not given the chance of performing his best match-up That's funny, considering his opponent has better ZvT than him. I was actually thinking the direct opposite - I think FXO got shafted. None of the FXO guys are playing their best matchups either. Lucky's strength is ZvP, Asd's strength is TvP, Leenock obviously ZvT, and who the hell knows about PvP anymore. The best matchups for FXO would be Asd/JYP, Leenock/Demuslim, Lucky/Puma, and Choya/Idra. | ||

that said, Puma and JYP will probably make it 2-0. Up to asd to take out DeMuslim and then Leenock to take out IdrA. Ace match is hopefully KR-KR so no lag issues there. | ||

Some loser-pick format work still work (loser picks player last and/or map). | ||

Puma<Lucky -Not only is lucky an insane beast, but Bel'shir is a very good map for zerg in TvZ. Personally i'm suprised that we aren't seeing someone like Idra or perhaps a sacrificial Incontrol (sorry inc). JYP>Choya -Choya just isn't that good, and definitely not the same level as JYP. Seems like an easy win for the EG toss, and feels like FXO were just throwing choya out to save a big hitter (kind of like what EG should've done for Bel'shir since Idra apparently has issues with ZvZ) DeMuslim<asd -Demuslim just isn't up to snuff to face a mid-low tier Code S player. The thinness of EG's lineup kind of shows here-saving HuK for ace or him not playing to wait for his gsl games is really hurting the first 4 games. Idra<Leenock -While ZvZ is traditionally coinflippy, Leenock is really good. REALLY good. Also of note is the fact that Idra got slugged in the GSL, which might make the difference between us seeing the gracken or seeing your average GM player. Overall, EG's reliance on the Korean Factor is hurting them in this league-with HuK reserved for Ace match or not playing because of GSL, EG is limited to a mid tier korean terran, a high-mid tier korean protoss, and idra. Against a team like FXO, it will most definitely not be the deep enough to take the match, although they might push it to ace. Edit: winners league is way funner. This format sucks balls honestly its a crapshoot. Uh, no, winners league is a crapshoot. While it would be better if it was 6+ace, it still emphasizes teams with depth over teams that only have a few top-tier players and are filled with mediocrity the rest of the way down (KT/EG). | ||

While it would be better if it was 6+ace, it still emphasizes teams with depth over teams that only have a few top-tier players and are filled with mediocrity the rest of the way down (KT/EG). its a crapshoot as in theres not much strategy involved with choosing players. It's just metagaming to see if your players get a favourable matchup on a favourable map. There just isn't much preparation that can be done by the player before match ups are revealed. Winners league allows teams to prepare snipes towards top players, and seeing a player win multiple times is far more thrilling. Now all we get is idra facing yet another zerg, as if we hadn't seen enough with 2 zvz's from idra in the GSL already. I'm way looking forward to the IGN TAL over NASTL for this reason. | ||
