Battle of the struggling teams. Go NSHoseo
|
IMO the result depends on if aLive comes out or not.

I think Oz is in better shape now but anyway I am for NSH. Young stras HWAITING!!!

I think Oz is the only player in Fnatic that has a shot against jjakji. Jjakji has been doing really well in TvT lately, mostly struggling vs Z.
NSH got this. Hard to predict score, I think it depends on when jjakji gets sent out.
|
Battle of two teams that may be falling apart soon =(
Good luck to NSHS, I think they need it more.
|
Both of these teams have essentially collapsed- surprised they can still field lineups ;(
GL to NSHS, but i'm just proud of them for even showing up.
|
|
|
Fools, NSH will outlast the game in the end, haha. :p Just watch. Only Fnatic is dying of these two teams.
No clue who will win though, since hard to predict NSH's actual roster at the time of playing, and with teams like this, the result is always stupid, like random all kills or some unknown player racking up the kills.
|
Alive and Oz better win this, or Fnatics gonna forfeit again.
|
|
|
J really messed that one up. Took a surprising amount of damage from that Warp prism pressure.
Interesting commercial music
|
Yes,J gestion of his third base crisis wasn't the best one indeed... 
But chill out,Oz is here now 8)
|
Jjakji is still a beast, he just needs to recover from his fall. He still has the makings of a GSL champ in him yet  .
|
Remember when Oz used to be one of the best PvP players in the world? Then he cursed himself :p

Just got on, did Fnatic really send Oz as a pvp sniper?
|

edit: yes Oz as PvP sniper

I wouldn't be surprised if Fnatic doesn't have enough player to field a 5man team tonight. They don't have many reliable players to choose from.

It doesn't matter how brave you are, in the end it only matter whether or not you are aLive.

Advantages of institutional funding. Little money trickling down on you with two years of bureaucratic delay on every decision about your fate.

EllenKey (is he Terious, former Prime?) just can't fill the hole that Seal and Freaky left in my heart. T_T
Oh, by the way, Seeker: congratulations on your Quality Poster star.

You know if MKP changed his ID back to Ellenpage for a day we could have a day of ultimate showdowns:
EllenKey vs. EllenPage
Best vs TheBest
First vs Last
Reality vs Fantasy
Parting vs Soulkey
Inori vs J
Inca vs detection

I wrote about their ultimate battle of ultimate destiny here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=379695
And then Inori retired.

Oh. Can't say I'm surprised. J was always pretty mediocre, though I do remember Inori making the Ro8 at IPL 3 on the back of PvP (and the community hyping him as some kind of PvP sniper :p)

Tassadar has some serious Artosis pylons in his main

Well, that was huge for NSH. With both aLive and Oz both eliminated, and Jjakji yet to be deployed, this is looking good for NSH.

I'll be honest, I'm really only interested in seeing Jjakji play :c

These teams are almost as dead as this thread.
|
very few watch this game.. if NSH wins they are at worst 2nd in the group. with jjakji left it looks like NSH is gonna take it easy from here (Unless some big upsets happen)
|
My two favorite teams actually (back in the GSTL days and when Terran Rain was on Fnatic and San was on NsHoseo).
At least Jjakji and Alive are both on the teams but sad to see both teams losing players .

It's sad that NSHoseo lost that many players because I think in a better environment Jjakji would do wonders .
|
I didn't know that Fnatic got a new player called Nama. Congratulations!

Fnatic's only consistent follower was ZeroSC2 but I think he gave up on them after Moon was released so he doesn't post in their threads anymore

Tassadar played straight up and not cheesy at all, weird.

Yeah, that, or after he got tired of making new accounts after his 11th ban :p
NSH didn't even need to use Jjakji.

Wow, how far fanatic has fallen not even being able to field a 5th player
|
|
|
well that was disappointing...
|
Well that forfeit is sad.
Couldn't even grab nightend or Harstem...

TO THE AMATEUR DIVISION!
It's a pity they couldn't get a 5th player for the 2nd time, but I guess the team's having its own issues atm.

I'm pretty sure he still posts here or else there's a guy that is very similar that just doesnt flame opterown at the same time like zerosc2 used to do with each account. He was not happy about the Moon thing.
|
This is just sad, but not surprising I guess.
|
What's kind of interesting or unfortunate is that the final 2 matches of this division are largely meaningless, since Dreamteam and Fnatic are both already eliminated, and Acer and NSH are both certainly advancing. I guess Acer and NSH might play for seeding in Up and Downs, but eh.
|
Congratulations to NSH! Hope they can pick things up for the future.

could play for who they want to face in the up and down. but it truly doesn't matter that much

MSad we didn't get to cast jjakji. Maybe next time
