Now. After watching Acer vs Prime and NSHS vs FXO.CIS, I think it's safe to say we shouldnt jump to conclusions, especially with Empire having some reaaally strong players
Well VINES did destroy slayers by himself in the GSTL before so empire's got that working for them, I feel that with themista as a PvP sniper he can take down puzzle and crank combine that with Slayers terrans recent struggles and I think that empire has strong upset potential here. But themista is still a massive wildcard for me so I can't safely say he can take down puzzle or crank and with those 2 I feel as if slayers should have the edge. SlayerS 5-4 empire.
Slayers wont have JYP to save them vs toss. Vines could do some real damage here like he did for oGs in the GSTL. i think this has the chance to be very close. Slayers gets my vote though because it's slayers in a team league. 5-3

That's not everyone, either. It's missing players like Slayers Arthur, Slayers KDY, etc, who are new recruits, though I think some of the players listed on the roster are probably inactive.
I predict Empire winning, viOlet is a beast and if the games are played on NA he will be even more hard to kill. The entire Empire line-up is scary except hobot and maybe TheMista (did not see him recently so I don't know) and I expect Happy and Aristeo to do good again (remember Prime vs Empire?).
This is going to be an interesting one. I'm predicting a SlayerS win of course, but I wouldn't be too terribly shocked if Empire pulls an upset. They do have a lot of talent.
I go to great lengths to not get spoiled on these so I'm in suspense just like you guys!

This is a joke, right? I still have nightmares after watching Happy vs ToD live at Dreamhack.

Way to judge a player from one series. If I did that, I could also make the claim Liquid was the worst team I have ever seen which is obviously stupid.
He might not have played well at Dreamhack, but in my opinion, Happy has the sickest TvP lategame out there.

Perhaps because he isn't updating the OP? I don't know really just speculating.
Correct. If you make any sort of LR thread and you don't keep up the OP updated, you get a warning, I believe.
It's great TL ain't cutting IGN any slack, because it frustrating when I come to check results. Also it makes them seem less professional and caring. Indicates perhaps no one is watching the thread while this is airing.

No, we are, it was just my mistake. Normally Joshy is in charge of keeping the threads up to date, but I forgot he down in Anaheim and so I forgot to update the thread. It's updated now, sorry all! I completely understand the frustration of not finding results in LR threads.
