Huh. Guess I still gained a point overall. I feel like no anti team is safe in this format lol. Good thing I wasn't one of the poor schmucks with Jangbi on mine this time.
Haha, I was. Was a real collercoaster ride for me today. HerO as my FPL captain, Roro & Jangbi on anti, Revival on my pro team, EGTL as team. Also have Reality.

But Taeja is 1-2 in ace matches.

Are Jangbi's games any good? None are recommended but is that because people feel bitter? Hmmm.
Hero and Revival game were 3.5/5. Don't watch the Puma game.

OMG I'm in the fucking last place in the FPL ranking hahaha. So much for my first try =)). EGTL and Shy have really screwed me over.
I still believe EGTL can do better than this though. The coach should give Puma a little rest to stabilize his mentality instead of sending him out every match like this. And give Zenio a chance, I'm sure he can deliver

oh yeah Stephano is set up pretty well for an all-kill, haha

JAAAAAAAAAAAANG

Considering EG-TL is overall 1-5 in ace matches he still is the first choice I would think (if you count the seventh set of all-kill format as ace match)

You mean... Jangbi won it for Khan? Wasn't expecting that, but okay.

Well, looks like I fumbled up by picking EG-TL over KT Rolster for this round. I'm quite frankly disappointed.

I don't know how to blame the coach here. Taeja and Jaedong are not there, so the only other viable options are probably Huk and JYP, since I don't think Zenio or Thorzain could have won against Jangbi. Maybe putting your faith in 3 PvPs in a row feels like a better plan? I don't know about that.
That Jangbi played 4gate on Arkanoid last week doesn't mean shit that he is gonna do it again. And you cannot really blame HerO much for that loss, especially since we don't know if he even trained on Arkanoid (he probably trained mostly for Entombed and Ohana, but not much for the fifth map in the series when he expected to be needed probably on the 2nd or 3rd map).
The only strange choice is Puma, but he might just have trained that map all week long, so we don't know that.
Without Jaedong and Taeja, plus Stephano losing the first map, TL is not as deep a team as some make it out to be.
And finally, Jangbi played freakishly well, as did HerO. Sometimes good players just win three matches. Well they can play Thorzain instead, he has actually won a match unlike Puma. To be honest I don't get the coaching. Why start with Stephano? He can take out pretty much any terran or protoss player so why risk sending him out against a possible zerg. Make more sense to go out with a player with more balanced skill in all matchups, like Hero or Thorzain.
I think they took a gamble. SK are doing pretty badly in Proleague so far, and I think EGTL figured there was a decent chance that Stephano could all-kill. The foreigner hope flying into Korea and all-killing a Kespa team would've been a great storyline, and even if he only gets a couple of kills EGTL's other players should be able to handle the rest. They were probably pretty excited when they saw a rookie starter for SK. Unfortunately Stephano lost, and I think even EGTL were surprised that they were unable to clean up afterwards.

Yeah, sure he is, but I wouldn't say I trust him to close out a series at the moment.
Especially since his condition is apparently so bad he can't even play normal games for EGTL.

Was not sure whether to put stephano or jangbi on my Antiteam last weak because speed/cure was killing me. I decided to trust in someone going full on foreigner and put stephano on my Antiteam instead of jangbi--crisis averted.

I have to mention that Sola impressed today, winning your first televised match is a good sign for the future!
also dancing roaches in stephano's natural means a cocky player and those are always the most entertaining

Right, his injury or whatever it is is really bad for EGTL and they generally have problem when it goes the full distance.
Hopefully they can pick up a few wins when he comes back. A TaeJa in top form would easily be able to beat JangBi I think.

I traded for BBatta but I didn't think there was a snowballs chance in hell he would actually beat Stephano. I just wish revival could have gotten a better chance...
|
Why'd I have to miss this match? Bah, oh well JANGBANGED
|
Man, EGTL coach, you can't keep shoving Puma into a brick wall if you want to actually win games and not get JangBanged
|
Ugh x.x We got Jangbanged so hard x.x
|
WOOOOOO! Captain Jangbang bringin home those FPL points!
