No SK.MC?

Oh well, if Taeja can't be sniped by Mvp or Seed, I don't see LG-IM making it.

Honestly, if they didn't set up a snipe on Taeja, then LG-IM would be pretty foolish in my opinion. However, i think for this team league final that some other players will step up such as hero, zenio, ret, sheth, TLO ECT.

You only send a new player when you lose a game.

Why does everyone think that MC is on IM...

Anyway, TaeJa is going to win this for Liquid. Is there something he hasn't won recently :p


Honestly I'm not sure if he would have the endurance. For Liquid to win, they are going to need Taeja to probably take 3-5 wins. That wins the first Bo9 and now Liquid has to win another. That's another 3-5 games that Taeja needs to win. Don't forget, this is all in a live setting as well, where the pressure is higher and you don't play from the comfort of your own home.

If Taeja does manage to pull through (I'd give it a 30% chance that he can lead Liquid over IM in 2 Bo9s), Liquid owes him some serious overtime payment.

Looks like mrRolfpwn got....pwned!

Only 5 players needed for a Bo9. No worries mrRolfpwn, happens to the best of us sometimes.

bo9 means you only need 5 players
MC, Stephano, Ret, Jjakji, Grubby, Life, HerO, Scarlett, TaeJa

The last games have shown that you only need one player for a bo9: Liquid`Taeja.
But seriously: IM will definetely go for a snipe and after that there are not that many
Liquid players left who can actually win 2-3 games in a series (behind Hero).
Would love to see a winning TLO miracle...

Because SK and LG-IM have a team partnership and MC has already played under the IM Banner for this Team Arena Challenge.

IIRC IPL said that they didn't like team-partnerships around the start of IPL TAC 3


Funny because MC has already been used by IM in TAC3 and they have allowed any sort of team changes or partnerships so far afaik.

IPL mentioned that they discourage team partnerships after TAC 1.

Really hope Jinro will give us a last showing - Not by playing, but just beeing there alongside his teammates - Would make this even more awesome

IM is going to take it, they will have prepared for Taeja, and there lineup is just better then that of Liquid. Even without MVP or MC.

If they did not prepare some good snipes ... Grats to Taeja ! And liquid

because I haven't seen Jinro in a longggggggggggggggggggggggg time.


Kennigit said, on SCReddit, that Jinro won't be at IPL TAC3. I was so sad to learn that, after his retirement news broke. Why Jinro...

Also, Nazgul, in his Q&A, said that the entire team + Bumblebee would be flown out to SF. You can find his short Q&A in the LR thread for Liquid vs SlayerS.

Team Liquid's options for the final are apparently HerO, TaeJa, and more zergs than Team Acer. Or Bumblebonjwa, but IM doesn't deserve that pain.

That was a while ago. Doesn't really matter what was stated in the past when their actions go directly against that.

Is there no way to get a refund? I've decided to skip the live event, $18.75 was just a tad bit much for me for a single best of 9. I paid knowing I would get two best of 9s and I was really looking forward to the showmatch... I think it's a little lame that there's apparently no refunds despite half the event being canceled.
