Can't deny that FXO has been improving, but the fact that two rather unknown FXO players took out Prime's cream of the crop is disheartening for any Prime fan. Prime needs to get back into shape soon, or else other eSF and KeSPA teams might overwhelm them soon in terms of skill and results.

Its not summer for them, so you shouldn't call it summer.
Getting owned by a bunch of B team zergs is pretty rough, I don't understand what Prime is doing in order to do so poorly.

lol full z line up
but regardless, fxo IS a better team right now

Prime is merely a shadow of what it used to be.....

In my opinion It's already happening. I don't know much about Prime's financials but the state of their roster is horrible, they have a bad practice environment compared to the other top ESF teams and it shows. Creator is saving them right now by being amazing but he can't carry the team on his back forever. In the previous IPTL season they were all killed twice, once by First and also by Parting, then they narrowly defeated TSL 5-4, the team that went 0-3 in the group. In GSTL S3 they beat Fnatic and lost to everyone else.
In individual leagues, Maru is in Code B, Byun is not performing well since his loss to Seed in 2012 S3 and Classic has not made a splash anywhere. Marineking did make it to the ro8 in S5 but his series against Ryung was horrible and he has been completely unimpressive since then. The only beacon of hope on their team is Creator. 2012 S5 ro8, BWC 2nd place, did pretty well in IPL5 and has advanced from his Iron Squid group only losing to Life. Oh, and there's Terious aka bumblebee, who hasn't done anything in forever.
I guess it sounds pretty bad when I put it like that, I don't know what they need to do to bounce back because I'm not a team manager and I won't pretend to be an expert on these kinds of things but something needs to change for them.

Whale may be rather unknown but I've been stealing zvp builds from him for over a year, he's a fucking boss ZvP so the last result wasn't much of a surprise.

I'm looking at the divisions and I'm curious, do IGN really think that Karon3 is better than Acer/NHS/TSL/Fnatic?

Team Spain got lucky that Slayers died before their Up/Down match, so I wouldn't rank them above HoSeo/Fnatic and certainly not TSL (who lost 5-4 to FXO), but they're a good team.

They went 0-3 against NSHS and then forfeited. They got ridiculously lucky with the slayers situation it should be NSHS.

I don't know if I'm happier to see the non-leenock's getting some wins in or more sad to see how bad prime is right now :/
|
Sad to see Prime lose like that but FXO is on fire recently. Whale impressed me against Creator with his drop play, i guess it's good to have Leenock as a team partner :p
|
FXO has a surprisingly deep roster. Their team always seems to do very well in team leagues against big names.
