(the awful player that Ret played against in GSL long time ago), he actually qualified for Code A, but fact remains still that he was awful player nad vanished quickly. I dont hate TLO or anything - I am sorry to say that because guy was actually fun to watch during beta, but gameplay level is still increasing and in this new enviroment TLO skills are not up to par. The same holds true for Jinro and HayprO. Liquid can choose one of two paths: became competitive SC2 team, or remain big family of young guys that like to play SC2. If they want to choose the first path they need to change their rooster quickly. | ||

The other Koreans aren't much ( if at all ) better than ToD or Nightend. The difference though is overall Fnatic has more depth in their lineup than TL. | ||

So much TL fandom this time around. Really a favourite ? Without Taeja they were like 50/50 or Zenex just a slight favourite, with Taeja TL would be a slight favourite. Or did you forget how many players of TL were in Ro8 of GSL or in code S recently and how many Zenex had/has there ? TL has more imbalanced team with some heavyweights and some much weaker players, whereas Zenex has more balanced one. But to say Zenex was clear favourite is as misguided as saying TL is clear favourite. | ||

Moon on LAN cant be underestimated either, he did beat Bomber, Naniwa, MC, Mvp etc... I believe Fnatic has WAY better chances than Liquid in the GSTL. Well we will have to wait and see for their match vs TSL. | ||

But to say Zenex was clear favourite is as misguided as saying TL is clear favourite. Without Taeja, I would say ZeNex are big favorites. Zenio hasn't been doing the best lately and is hovering around Code A~ish level. Jinro had to take on coaching duties and wasn't at his best. Haypro didn't even try to qualify for Code A, so I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't in the best shape. That leaves you with TLO and Hero. Both are great players, but you can't expect them to carry. ZeNex just has a ridiculously deep line-up. The team could be considered the best at actually developing talent. Life, Harrier, and Xtreme were all coming off qualifying for Code A and Line just got into Code S. That isn't even mentioning Avenge and a few others who were inches away from qualifying for Code A this season. ZeNex last season was a bridge between the Old ZeNex of Coca, Byun, Puzzle and the New ZeNex with their new stars. If they can keep Life, Harrier, Xtreme, etc., then they will become one of the best teams in Korea. They're all pretty inexperienced, but if they can get some confidence, don't be shocked if they make a run. Their 2nd place during the KSL wasn't a fluke. | ||

And if we are not allowed to weep and gnash our teeth when TL loses, then what's the point of being fans? Wow, some people need to get a grip. Getting all-killed is hardly the end of the world, it happens to pretty much every team at some point (remember when QXC all-killed IM? Didn't send them to oblivion did it?) Bear in mind also that this was the first time that they'd all played together as a team and that both TLP and Haypro have only just recently moved to Korea (so not had a great deal of Korea practise time) and they only had 5 players to chose from so they were really up against it from the outset. This season is a sharp learning experience, its the proceeding seasons that will be a truer measurement of the team. | ||
