more goes into picking lineups than "who is the best"
As I said on page 1 demu/stephano couldn't play as they are at Valencia. Huk is in korea (Puma / JYP are as well but can do better with the latency)
As far as the ace is concerned we thought JYP would face STC as STC is prob quantic's best AND he already beat Puma (our regular ace) but with JYP training almost exclusively for his code S group of MVP/MKP we thought it was a good draw. If you watch the games JYP had tremendously bad luck 1 game and then in game 3 he shat down his leg when he should have won
it happens!

ha, Ya, see where your coming from, I wanted EG to pull thru so bad that we become way to critical of certain games when pressure is high

Glib excuses aside, Geoff, I'd love to just hear you say once, "We underachieved again and are trying to rectify it"

Yeah I guess, it's just I'm more used to people calling him by his screen-name than his actual name So now people that call players Jos, Marcus, Greg, or whatever just don't sound the same

personally i think it's insulting for some one who doesn't know incontrol to call him by his first name. Theres a reason why people ask if it's ok to use the first name it's meant to be between friends/family not some random stranger that wants to critize him.

He says that like once a month. You either don't watch interviews or are retarded.

I actually said it during the broadcast. For like 5 minutes I went on about how much losses suck and we work hard to not have them happen.. I don't have to say it each time I speak about a loss we have.

You dont really need to talk about it as much as you do even. Its the nature of esports,

I thought EG would take this easily. GO EG!! I think it is awesome when team members explain how they chose the players, so much insight

2-2? Didn't think there were tie's

idra making excuses for his own BM was the highlight of the series

There aren't.
+ Show Spoiler +Ace match- Quantic won. Read OP

How the hell does a team full of accomplished players like idra lose to a team that has players with no achievements like quantic and root?

Because that's not how competition works. Do you really think people with no achievements stay at no achievements for their life? Of course not. How do they get them? They beat teams that have some. Nothing new, and Quantic has some pretty good players, not to be underestimated. Also, it's weird that you name Idra, because he won his match 2-0..
Finished watching the VOD, that was heart wrenching. JYP messed his control at the absolute least opportune time in both game 3s. He probably feels worse then everybody else combined. Oh well, EG will avenge!
