It's not farfetched to assume that any player in both rosters for these teams can take a map against any of the player in the other team. | ||

Makes me sad to see how it ended. EDIT: Stanlot, they left JYP for last when JYP's vZ is amazing while his vT is poor at best, and B4 is very good vT, and after B4 was out it would have been Prime Terrans left, which JYP is NOT going to be comfortable beating. JYP should have been sent out vs B4 first. | ||

maybe jyp was a bit busy or something, or eating dinner, i dno. since this isn't played live in a studio, the organisation between players can be a bit haphazard | ||

Obviously its possible, but likely is a completely different story. I think it's safe to say that 95% of people here would agree that if EG took out Prime it would be a HUGE upset. | ||

At least not when I see him play, he would have been much smarter as a TvT sniper, his TvT is his best matchup right now in my opinion, and Terrans were definitely on their way from Prime. | ||

As far as I can tell Idra and Demuslim were good choices, so there isn't much else to complain about. The best player on EG that wasn't used at all was Huk who I can't remember the last good performance of. Meanwhile they're up against Prime, who have a recent history of dominating team leagues and who beat FXO, a current GSTL finalist on the way here. The best player EG beat on the way here was who? CrazyMoving? Sjow? Select? Not a single player that has ever made code S and not even a current code A player. In fact, they got 5-0'd by an MVP B-teamer (don't know if he is officially B-team, but his farthest progress was code A RO16 last year). Yeah, Prime got all-killed by Taeja, but Taeja is godlike online. Sorry, EG was completely outclassed here on a day when Prime's two best players severely under-performed. | ||

2. I like ThorZaIN better on Daybreak or Antiga because I like his longer term macro play on those maps more than I like him on Tal'darim Altar. 3. PuMa's TvT is pretty potent, I don't think hes less than 45 against either ByuN or Maru, its a matchup that he can very easily be considered a sniper in and it was much more likely for him to beat ByuN or Maru than B4. 4. Quoting previous performances means very little, otherwise MKP and Creator probably would have just beat IdrA and Demuslim, so bringing previous performances up here after IdrA and Demuslim is kind of irrelevant and asinine. I am filled with rage. EDIT: These are my feels. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1kfJb.png) | ||

I bet if Incontrol wasn't his teammate, he would tear him a new one. Idra always has an agenda behind everything he says. He does things for shock value because he knows people eat that stuff up. Love him or hate him, he's smart with marketing and has the community on a string that he makes dance at his whim. | ||

That's debatable, but anyone on a pro team can take a game off of any one else on any other pro team at any given time IMO. | ||
