Thorzain and huk look like they don't know wtf they're doing out there in Proleague. Much as the community loves TLO for some reason, he is not on the level of those two players at all. Having him play in one of these matches would be a joke, even if your post wasn't/. | ||

I get that coach would want to field him to give him experience, but right now he's pretty much a rookie. You don't send rookies as ACE unless you got something very special going on. Just by experience, even with that terrible map and with how he's performing vs P, even JD would have been a better choice. Personally, I would have chosen HerO, he looked extremely confident, and that plays a huge part on PL matches, particularly on ACE matches. He looked in good shape GSL Season 4 this year. He only lost in Code A because ma boy Maru played an excellent PvT against an improved JYPvT. But since then, only zergs + PartinG have looked good. Maybe Bogus too. | ||

Sheth is going through some stuff, so he's out though. you keep saying foreigners like TLO keep improving but tbh it's all about the result. Yeah may be he did well in R8 in HSC. But I'm sure he'll choke or lose in high level matches... | ||

I do enjoy watching it though but TLO has been playing a wee bit better of late but I don't think he'd be as much help either. It would be nice to see him on the bench though  | ||

Also Shy was an odd choice as well, no SoulKey? O_O! I think they might have expected JD, Taeja. And shy is pretty solid in all 3 match ups. | ||

TLO is very creative and could be fielded on one of these stranger maps and in current form is at least as competent if not more so than Zenio, JYP, Puma, Thorzain and Huk whom have all been fielded at some point so far. | ||

Couple that with the fact that soulkey is obviously the strongest player on woongjin, so EG-TL is prepared for and expecting him, and all of a sudden sOo seems like a great choice. | ||
