Happy Birthday!

Also solid games today. I thought that while JYP was a bit overly cautious despite having a huge upgrade advantage at different times in the game, he still reacted quite well to most situations.

Holy shit, puma actually won...hopefully this will fix his mental game and give him a whole turnaround/let him unleash the beast for the rest of his games :D. Also glad to see EG-TL finally end the losses.

Go Puma and Stephano!

Puma had pretty incredible target firing when he attacked. Picks off the Sentries first with his Banshees so no FF or GS, then the Stalkers with his Tanks and Banshees while his Marines and SCVs handle the Zealots. He left him with only Immortals vs Marine/Banshee.

Feels like a strange day, no interviews coming today? ^^ I would expect them to have interviewed PuMa, but who knows maybe they have interviewed Stephano for the 3rd time...

Also, T8 certainly isn't the weakest team. Gz EG-TL.

Do not be deceived: Puma has not suddenly become good after one win. He won one game where his opponent played badly and threw away a 40-supply lead against a strategy that is no longer popular for a reason.

That said, you just knew that when Puma finally won his first game that EGTL were pretty much a lock to win after that. It's like winning the lottery. Some other lessons learned for EGTL:

They really do need foreigners. It was Stephano's safe, low-risk win which was exactly what EGTL needed to spark their comeback, taking 4 games on the bounce after starting 0-2 and losing 14 of their last 17 games.
When EGTL have selected an all-Korean lineup, they have won only 1 of those 7 matches (the same record as Puma.) Their record when at least one foreigner plays is 6-4.
Revival needs to be revived. He's lost his last 3 in a row.
EGTL has a HerO as long as he is kept away from his PvP achilles heel.
In contrast to EGTL's wild ups and downs, JYP has maintained a consistent 50% win rate for all of Proleague, alternating wins and losses like a clock. Having won back-to-back games to go 10-8, EGTL should not be counting on his point next match
If EGTL ever manage to get HerO, Stephano, and a healthy Taeja playing at the same time, they will be the formidable opponent they were predicted to be at the start of Proleague.
