I guess basketball players should never play catch with their kids because that's baseball? Yeaaaah. Professionals of anything are allowed to use their free time as they wish. Would you like to pull 14 hour shifts at your job only broken up by eating and sleeping? =/ | ||

Come to think of it, it would've been really sad if Zenex had lost, haha... I think the team who trained harder won this series, that's all there is to it. | ||

I expect a better performance once the TL players practise seriously, I think most of them were still in vacation mode with several of them just having arrived in Korea (as seen in Dario's blog). The only one who just arrived is TLO. HayprO returned to Korea in mid-January (almost 5 months ago), Jinro has been living there for almost two years now, and for HerO and Zenio it's their home country. Zenio played alright, even won a game. HerO's loss was misfortunate. TLO showed a lot of effort despite only having arrived recently. HayprO and Jinro are the ones that really need to step up their game and practice as GSTL is after all the premier team league with fierce competition, and I doubt they did not know that. I realize there was some downtime because of finding and moving to the new place, but they should make the most out of their stay in Korea (the mecca of Starcraft talent) when it comes to their SC2 progamer career. So far, however, it does seem more like a vacation seeing the results, I agree. Will cross my fingers for things to improve. | ||

That means he has less experience with RTS games in general than most other progamers. Most of TL is in their twenties, meaning even if they've been playing SC2 for just as long as this kid has, they've probably been playing games in general for another 7 or 8. | ||

that's the dumbest shit i've ever heard. so getting all killed by Leenock, Maru, or creator, or even a young flash in his day would be any different? makes no sense. edit: and who the fuck knows how long he's been playing? i'm sure none of you know him personally... | ||

Zenex came into this match with 2wins, 8 losses, and they've lost all of their top players to other teams like Taeja (ironically now on tl), puzzle, hack and of course Genius. Despite being one of the weakest teams in the gstl with a lineup being completely stripped of their top players they easily dismantled teamliquid. Actually, on second thought I think TL's only hope is to recruit 3-4 more koreans to complement hero, zenio and taeja. | ||
