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. Yeah seriously.. I was almost certain that he would be DQ'd for that. He would have if he wasn't a foreigner. Now theyll award him the MVP award instead  | ||

Kespa tournaments have very strict regulations in this regard, unlike foreign ones where players can even banter and joke to the viewers' delight. For further reading, BackHo's incidents. | ||

But I think we had the similiar thing happening in Round 1. It was a ZvZ and the player that was winning accidently typed 'g' or ',' or something. And he only got a warning as well. | ||

HerO - Nervous as fuck in the booth, not confident in his own play recently, very emotional player. Admits PvZ is his worst match-up recently. Lost to Hydra in round 1 of Proleague. TaeJa - Had an electrical acupuncture 3 days ago. Probably not able to play to his full ability. Zenio - Known to be extremely nervous in the booth. Likes to be played first if possible. Probably not the best choice. DeMusliM - In America. HuK - Just got placed into Code S 2 days ago. Won against fellow KeSPA player Flying in his Up & Down group. Good choice to be sent out against herO, but probably didn't practice on the Neo version of Bifrost, which explains the botched forcefields. IdrA - In America. Jaedong & PuMa - Just arrived in Korea from the Kingston Hyper X 10 year anniversary tournament in Korea. Most likely jetlagged as fuck, didn't even show up to the studio. Probably sleeping right now. JYP - 70% win rate against Zerg in the GSL, showed great form against SKT... until he played against soO on the exact same map. Revival - played first, unable to play again. Stephano - lost against Hydra. ThorZaIN - practicing HotS close to daily on stream... Looking at these options, it's a choice between Zenio and JYP... Both amazing against Zerg, but JYP gets less nervous than Zenio, he was clearly the best choice available. It's just a shame that Caldeum was the last map instead of Ohana. edit - Not to mention that Hydra just beat Stephano, which would make Zenio more nervous because he's the same race. | ||

No. You need to take the map into account. You NEED to. That's what ProLeague is based on. Not just who is doing good right now, who is nervous or not, who is jetlagged etc. If EG-TL wants to do better they need to seriously start taking maps into account and preparing really hard for individual maps, picking snipers and so on. This is what adds a whole 'nother layer of depth to team leagues and why it's so interesting and fun to watch. The fact that this is nothing new to Kespa teams is a big advantage toi have over EG-TL, even though on paper their line-ups might be (and most would agree) considerably weaker. | ||

It's probably just some conspiracy to make EG/TL do worse. | ||
