When I said it (somewhere) people thought im saying that EU > NA is worse than KR > NA, I didnt mean that, but that east EU > NA got worse lag than KR > NA and this was tested when Kas and me were at WCG. But saying Empire might have a chance because of that is funny since we lag more  I didn't say it like whoever lags the most will Be the most likely team to win, rather since there is lag for both the outcome can be kinda random. And depending of the teamhouse the lag isn't the same for koreans, so it's hard to figure how much somebody from KR lag.
Yea, it depends on internet connection and day to day too. And more importantly IMO, play style because some players tend to do builds that are so damn more micro-intensive sometimes.

Have you seen Kas, Beasty or viOLet play? Plus, I'm assuming that these games were played on NA or EU, which means that the connection to KR will favor Empire. Prime is certainly favored, but you're not delusional if you think that Empire has a chance. viOLet is more than capable of taking out a few Prime guys as is Kas. Beasty, Welmu, and Happy all have a game in them if the build orders/spawns go their way. I'm hoping for a 5-4 victory for Empire with Kas winning the ace match.

Empire has a chance to win, but looking at the past results, the Korean teams have simply overwhelmed the foreign teams through their depth (Last night was essentially Liquid vs Col, not col-MVP, and we saw how that went when col-MVP did not deploy the Koreans, ouch).
Empire lacks the depth to finish the entire Bo9. They have strong players, but do they have 5 strong players that can consistently take games off of the Koreans? I am not so sure. MKP is a strong player, but CreatorPrime and BBoongBBoongPrime are also very strong in the team leagues, and just look at Prime's listed roster. It's huge and full of talent and snipers.

I really hope they up their game with the casting tonight. Last time was just downright sad, and either painuser was sick or he was on something.
|
I honestly don't expect MKP to do all that well, or even end up playing.
However, I have to give Prime the edge because of Creator and c0re, since Empire doesn't have any depth in protoss and thus lacks strong protoss practice partners. I wouldn't be surprised if either Creator or c0re win 2+ games, especially since both have strong T, and to a less extent Z, practice partners. Also, it doesn't hurt that protoss is performing strong again terran since the emp nerf.
Anyways, I think Prime will take it 5-3 (with 4 of the wins from protoss players).

Well if Prime sends out some of their weak players (Korean teams have a precadence for doing this) then Empire has a chance. I do feel like Empire and Prime are pretty similiar in their respective scenes. They are both teams that are often overlooked but manage to be a force to be reckoned with. But yeah, Prime is still really favored.

I have faith in Empire.
Can't wait to see violet in action again, and of course the amazing empire terrans!
Though I don't see how they will get past Creator..

MKP ALL KILL ANYONE?
I doubt that MKP can all kill Empire, Kas and ViOlet both have winning records against him iirc  gogo Empire!

ugh, you can see the lag for beasty

Great building placement to create walls for the zealots.

sometimes i ask myself if the caster ever played this game.
-say ghost push shoudl wait 3 min.
-ask why protoss atack when hes total commited to allin allready
-question a upgrade not done when you atack oO
-wonder that a 3 comes late after a ghost push that killed many worker ... and so on and so on
Its one point to do mistake in casting and dont understand the builds and whats going on,
but question obvious good moves from pros and act like you know better is really strange.
