I'm sure TL/EG will put a huge amount of time into this, and do much better in the upcoming weeks, but their end results are all going to come down to their prep work for specific teams. Hopefully they're willing to make some sacrifices in terms of other tournaments. | ||

 ) This really started to look like a long shot as the match went on. I still think EGTL is a strong team in this league right now. but they really need their stars tied up in NASL this weekend to carry them. On a separate note ProLeague seems to have its own metagame going on. partly due to the wonky maps and partly due to the fact that SC1 guys are going for hyper agressive allin-ish builds a good part of the time. It really shows how greedy what we've considered to be "standard play" for a long time can be. | ||

I was positive Oz beat him the first game on Daybreak with the weird triple nexus/void ray opener, but I could easily be wrong. Either way, the same point applies, the proleague players are going to spend a tremendous amount of time figuring out just how to beat EGTL builds. When Flash lost his streak in BW it was because his opponent studied his play enough to see a flaw in his scouting path at a certain time so he could get a reaver into Flash's base. EGTL needs to prepare at that sort of level (or somewhere close to that, since Flash is kind of a special place) if they're going to make an impact this season. | ||

He lost the first game on Antiga in MLG summer arena. And the build Oz used (mainly 1 gate expands) where not tailored to Stephano, he used the exact same ones against every zerg in that tournament. | ||

Stephano, Taeja and Hero are currently the three big hitters in that team. Deploy them and they will look much stronger. Anyway I have no doubt that the fixtures with TL-EG will have the most Foreigner interest throughout the season. What are they going to call the EG base in Korea - The EG Hive? Thorzain was jet-lagged and so not at his best, he will improve. So far the best performing Foreigner in ProLeague this season has been DOA. He was excellent. its called The Lab | ||

This was in MLG Summer Arena. Stephano won the first game in Antigua. Second game was in Entombed. http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/91880-summer-arena-wbr3-stephano-vs-oz-game-2 I am not saying that Stephano is going to roll the Kespa players. I think they will probably be extremely strong opponents. However obviously Stephano is also going to be one of the strongest players that EG-TL can field and more of a challenge than Zenio. I am keen to see what will happen. Isn't this what people want to see, how Stephano does in Korean tournaments? OK not GSL Code S, but the Kespa equivalent. As Stephano will be in Korea to play in some of these Proleague fixtures, maybe he can take the time to play in Code S too. The schedules have to match up of course, but it is possible. | ||

With PL we’re really getting to see what élite players are made of. Most games were short, and bordered abuse. I’m sure EGTL will be able to turn this around once they stop being all jet lagged and get decent prep time in. | ||

I knew KT would win this. More work for EG-TL ahead. Nice to see a PL thread with 200+ pages.  | ||
