there are many better alternatives around than Sea, nothing against this incredible player (at least in BW), but you should try to invite a Code S/Code A player next time, which would sure add more excitement to the matchup. Hyun is on a roll right now, and I would prefer to see a high calibre player such as Rain/Life to put him to the test.

Didn't you read the post? He can't pick and choose when players decline for all sorts of valid reasons.

Is Symbol good at vZ? He's 1-5* against Nerchio, for example.

*TLPD

Symbol is good but sketchy recently. His playstyle is not particularly suited to being a top level ZvZ player.

If they start trying ZvZ, they should get Revival.
Would be interessing to see what a teamkill match can do, since Revival is the ZvZ sniper at TSL.

A month, maybe two? The hybrid proleague started in May -_- And they were definitely playing way before that officially started.

5 months. 1-2 months is definitely wrong but to act like Sea has had enough time to mature his sc2 skills is definitely not the case.

I think sea can win this. He was pretty amazing at broodwar so if he just gathers his skills he can beat hyun.

I wonder if Sea's learned any hellion builds yet. That seems to be Hyun's biggest weakness.

Also, Sea's last televised Brood War game was September 1st, and Team 8 got knocked out of the Proleague playoffs the day after that, so it's accurate to say he's only been exclusively playing SC2 for a month or two.

It's been how long, about 1 year since Hyun switched over? He has only recently begun to really come into his own.

I do love this speedling timing. It is so useful against a CC first build.

Against J he killed a ridiculous amount of drones with Hellion, and from watching his stream he enjoys that A LOT.

Pretty sloppy Hellion control, throwing away about six like that.

Hi guys.

I'm the SC2 Operations Manager and I am the one that decides Fight Club participants.

I am working on getting many other players listed in this thread.

It's not always possible. Players don't respond, players decline. I get the best players I can as often as possible. On general principle, I don't want to reinvite players until it's been a calendar year (approaching soon) because many players still haven't had a chance to play that want to.

Without naming individual players, most have declined due to Code S, OSL, scheduling or other reasons, some have been unreachable.

That said, I am not ruling out ZvZs anymore and have been wanting Life for two weeks now. He's a little busy with Code S finals though.

"As often as possible", with the occasional popularity grab, right? It's all good, no bad blood.

I find it mindboggling that some players are actually unreachable. As much as we like to toute the korean practice schedule and general environment, their management seems sometimes more than just a bit messy.
