MKP got an all-kill against Startale yesterday, but any Prime member would probably be enough to achieve that feat against Acer. Poor guys, it's gonna be a slaughterhouse. | ||

Well,  Nerchio recently beat  ThorZaIN in HP Trophy, LucifroN in ESL Country Championships and Kas in Fnatic RaidCall Invitational, so he isn't that bad versus terran.Sure, he won't be favored against a Korean player (I guess Stephano, HuK and NaNiwa currently are the only foreigners that could sometimes be called that) but an upset (taking one-two games) isn't impossible. | ||

Unless Prime's B-team is used (which it's very likely to be), Maru, Byun and MarineKing are like 2 calibers above all the Terran you mentioned, they might as well play an entirely different race, Nerchio's ZvForeignT won't be enough. He needs some ZvCodeST skill instead. | ||

But I think all their hope will end, when prime sends out one of their 5 top players (mkp, byun, maru, creator, b4). But I would rather see if Aria or Salmosa can show some skills. | ||

On the other hand, I don't think Acer can upset the Prime | ||

We have foreigner terran caliber ie thorzain etc then low korean caliber e.g the average good korean terran then top tier korean ie Prime Terrans. So yes, 2 tiers On June 05 2012 22:22 Beeblistical wrote: Prime needs more protosses. I hope they're recruiting. Other than that, I hope Prime takes this while displaying some of their B teamer talents. Even losing but showing good games is good exposure and experience for them. On the other hand, I don't think Acer can upset the Prime I wouldn't mind seeing another A/S-class protoss and zerg join prime. maybe life, tear, etc GOOO PRIMMEEEE | ||

Top korean terrans = mma, mvp, marineking, taeja, etc lower korean terrans = gumiho, supernova, thestc, keen, forgg, puma etc Even though thorzain has more achievements and exposure, skillwise I think he's a fair way behind. he can trade sets and take games for sure, but i doubt he's really favoured against them | ||
