ZvZ is the bane of his existence. Having said that, I think curious was the right option to send out. Oops you're right... July has a 33% win rate v zerg in korea. Surprisingly internationally he has a 61% win rate and it's his 2nd highest.
Zenio's ZvP man...

Sick baneling trap and Fungals. Wow. Love seeing a Zerg win like this.

Quite a few banelings there...

Haha that was a super fun game.

Not bad Symbol...2 wins for TSL now
KingKong up next for a ZvZ on TDA
|
That was a pretty fun game. So happy to see bling land-mines. Now I know which route NOT to send my army against a bling player with those spawns ^^
|
Well at least they're going with a zerg. Plus it's a young zerg who gets some time in the booth
|
Wow, 2 banelings picked off by a queen...what a critical miscontrol.
|

Taking out that overseer, getting burrow, I think Symbol's gonna go for epic baneling mines taking out the hydras and infestors I guess.
|
And that's why (balance aside) I believe that fungal should apply a slow, not a snare.

If trends continue, TSL does not really have a future. And Symbol is out.

If trends continue, TSL has a future as a star player producing machine.
I'm serious. Symbol is proving to be a good player, as shown in his games in the Iron Squid Qualifier. And Ragnorak, while he didn't show much today is actually pretty damn good in the ESV and he's another one of those 15 year old. Hell, Hyun still has a future ahead of him as well, I mean people were quick to throw Grubby under when Grubby was in the NASL. Hate them or love them, Lee is quite good at producing amazing players. Keeping those players is another matter though.

Ace gets 4 kills, takes out Revival, Hyun, Polt, Ragnarok, and loses to Symbol and the all kill is averted. Symbol beats Virus, but loses to King Kong.
Startale 5:2 TSL

That's the key. The turnover rate is just too damn high. They have lost so much of their roster, and more importantly, the players that they lost were their A-team players (Rain, Puma, Clide, JYP, Killer, aLive). It does not matter how well you can produce good players if they do not stay, the team still dies. Furthermore, they do have a bit of a problem with racial diversity, as too much of their roster is Zerg.
Problem is, the trend for TSL is not too good, with them falling out of the GSTL so early and losing so many of their GSL players. Furthermore, with all the recent drama, the team's brand has been dented a bit, and people are wondering why so many players are leaving the team. Symbol and Ragnorak may be up and coming players, but I worry about TSL because of their seeming inability to retain talent, and that is what is really hurting the team right now.

Hmmm, the more Bomber slumps, the better the ST Protosses start doing.
Maybe when they all hit Code S, they can give Bomber his soul back. D:
