I would have thus sent TaeJa. He did not get wrist surgery, just electrotherapy (judging by the Twitter picture). But let's assume he couldn't play, then instead I would have sent either ThorZaiN or Zenio (Jaedong apparently wasn't at the studio). ThorZaiN ain't too bad at TvZ and Zenio's best matchup is ZvZ. I hope EG-TL will play their players differently in the future. There's no point in giving exposure to everyone on the team when in the end you will lose more than half your matches in Proleague. Oh well. What's done is done. Thankfully I have Hydra on my FPL team. | ||

Hence I would not have sent a Protoss, especially not on Neo Caldeum after they reduced the armor and hit points of the rocks and blocking structures making it much harder for Protoss to secure their natural.

I don't really have a problem with them going with JYP who has a "hot hand." and has been doing well. | ||

It really is, even despite the TL aces' uninspired play lately. I don't know why a lot of people are blaming the map when it's clear that regardless, JYP did not look prepared *at all*. So it's either his fault for not preparing or the coach's fault for not sending someone else out. | ||

They probably gave him today off so he could rest | ||

Two of HerO's losses were to Rain and Flash, and his other loss was because he failed to wall off against a Zerg. I don't remember his 4th loss. I don't understand. Are wins less meaningful because they're in winner's league format...? | ||

I don't remember his 4th loss. he did play Fantasy. easily on Flash/rain level. twice vs soo who is mb a little bit under rain/flash but not much and went 1-1 vs him and also won vs stork effort soulkey who are all 3 pretty stronk. don't see your point. "and 2 wins are from this aorund in winners league" ... they are still wins ... no? | ||

His surgery obviously didn't stop him from sweeping his Up/Downs group. Because EG-TL coaches thinks that only because JYP has a good PvZ he should put him against everyfucking zerg when he has the oportunity...instead of sending the best player... | ||

His group was the 7th. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2013_Global_StarCraft_II_League_Season_1/Up_and_Down SEE THE DATES? ONE CAME AFTER THE OTHER. | ||

They release silly interview videos. Preparation obviously isn't their main priority. | ||

You don't have to be a genius to do that. Vs teams that are not that deep as KT or EG-TL, this should work pretty much every time. Stephano and Taeja 100% of the time, and JD, Hero or Revival sent on their best matchups. If your goal is that everyone in the team has to get to play, then it is not surprising that from time to time you lose vs less deep teams. | ||

He was only there for a week according to Tfunk... | ||

Where neither HerO nor Taeja were "able to play". It just seems like the coaches wanna make everybody happy by playing everybody regardless of who the best players are. Good to see Stephano doing well though, not good to see him getting almost fucking DQed because he types "gl, hf". That's just fucked up. | ||

And they had two good Zergs, under normal circumstances there is no need for him. | ||
