Today's match Millenium vs. Team Liquid will start at 13:00 GMT (+00:00). Millenium had a fantastic week with the WCS Europe qualifiers, managing to get two of their players qualified. Will they make it a perfect week by beating Liquid?
Friday, Apr 19 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)
Dayshi <Newkirk Precinct> Zenio <Daybreak LE> <Whirlwind LE> <ESL Star Station (cross only)> <Belshir Vestige LE> <Ohana LE> <Neo Planet S LE> <Akilon Wastes> <Cloud Kingdom LE>
Millenium achieves the perfect week and finally shows a convincing performance in the Acer TeamStory Cup! Next clanwar is probably on Sunday, see you there!
If Koreans don't play Millenium stand a decent chance, but I don't see anyone from M taking TaeJa or HerO out. (Feast might have a slight chance in PvP against HerO)

In the TLPro preview they mention TaeJa and HerO in their line-up so I guess they'll be there. In that case i don't see Millenium beating Liquid. But I think currently Liquids european line-up looks quite strong as well. Could be an very close match-up until TaeJa is sent out.
Last month if you had ask me i would have tell you that TL would have been the favorite. Today after seeing the great performance of Dayshi and Feast at wcs and others i actually believe that those 2 have the same level (and probably better) as the TL europeans.
Now regarding koreans...it all depend on whether they play or not. ForGG and Taeja have a level i believe extremely similar,but TL has one more korean in the name of HerO (yes zenio you are now at european level dealwithit) and tbh the best hope to take him out would be Feast so...
Adel and goswer being snipers we'll see...
If TL korean do not play its a Millenium victory and if they play its gonna be a tense match (5-4) could go either way.
I still secretly wish to see Lalush play again (i've seen he started to play again,and had a decent run at wcs) but i don't think he's strong enough just right now.
Sorry but Forgg isn`t on Taeja`s level. For example TLO and Forgg meet each other roughly 5-6 times a day and the score between them is very even. I doubt that TLO could beat Taeja in a Bo5 though.

ForGG is extremely bad at TvZ in HotS i give you that,hell he even asked violet how to ''beat zerg'' on twitter a few days ago... He's kind of desperate atm.
But his TvT is not the same...Its his best matchup and i believe it being on Taeja's level.
Unimpressive first game by Zenio, don't like his opening, don't like those extra lings and think he was way unprepared for the first attack.
Snuuuuute!?
probably. too early for me to get jokes >.<
I rarely watch anything outside gstl, spl and gsl. didn't expect zenio is actually this low of skill level now. now I really can't see he will ever win a game against a high level korean terran ever again

*edit* Oh TB mentioning it before the game, nice. GOGO TLO!
EU vs EU = EU NA vs NA = NA KR vs KR = KR KR vs EU = NA
NA vs EU = Hometeam (team on the left) decides EU vs NA = Hometeam (team on the left) decides KR VS NA = Hometeam (team on the left) decides NA vs KR = Hometeam (team on the left) decides

Very reasonable, thanks a lot
TLO looks solid, this is how to abuse an early speed opening

Recently he got a win in Proleague against Hydra who has a pretty good record in Proleague (18-10). But yeah, his performances are underwhelming since a while.

That's why I was saying his ZvZ is still decent, and I guess he can play well in the other matchups sometimes considering he qualified for GSL last season. But his games against FanTaSy in Code A were just >.> completely crushed
So disappointed. Always want TLO to win but during his streaming sessions he plays so much better than his recent game against Dayshi. So weird decisions....

I think it's largely because you watch from his perspective on stream. TLO decision making had always been a bit weird if you watch him play on a stage with everything visible and commentators 'explaining' things
Sigh, team Taeja, anything interesting in the series is now over unless ForGG can beat him.
Really annoying watching TL's players lose consistently and then Taeja appearing and winning everything. HerO is only ever is backup and I wanna see him play
Are people tired of seeing bio because it's tier 1 and everyone has been using it for three years? I mean, it's waaay more fast paced than mech, and I thought that's what makes SC2 fun..

I think people are happy to see mech play in TvZ just because bio is the standard atm. Anything different is by default somewhat exciting.
Otherwise I think multi-pronged action is the most fun, and bio play lends itself more to that.

Combination of bio always being used/mech slow push is fun to watch imo. There can also be plenty of fast paced harassment from mech with hellion runbys and hellion/widow dropoffs

Well, it's good that people have different opinions. After all, that's what brings us forward.

Latency + wrists + letjag
I love it when people who don't know what servers are being played on blame lag when koreans play badly.
Yeah, TaeJa was just sloppy with his mechanics and reactions. In the end it didn't matter. Well played by Dayshi though, he had a few chances to win this game but Taeja is still a bit too strong.

Fish might not be able to play a tvz like Innovation, but a maybe a good enough tvt to beat Taeja.

That and the fact that he was still mining and still had his production pumping out marauders and vikings.
Yes, but had he not have the PF, the protoss would've marched happily into his base (I recall only an scv train and a single marauder being in their way) and in that situation you can try to mine or produce as much as you want, as a terran player you are just screwed.

I don't think that was a good idea.
Forgg won because he took a perfect engagement he searched for 5min. When you pull out scv's you must attack right now, or you lose, because you can't produce anymore.
If he pulled the scv he could not have take a such good engagement I think.
Also he was 3 mining bases against 2 (there the nexus but no probes) so no need to pull the scv...
Seems to be a nice cause, got to help that american community to stay alive ^^ Anyway, you can just open it and put it on 240p/mute and place it in the background and it will help just the same I suspect
that was extremely disappointing play. like seriously, I understand people can have bad days, but no one on the team played up to par. I don't know what else to say, but no one hit their stride and it made them look like a bunch of amateurs.
