They had Taeja for the match against NSH.

Taeja, HerO, JD are guaranteed, teams know they will be sent out, everybody else is a major step below.
Whats your point though..
KT is guaranteed to send: Stats/Flash/Zest
SKT T1: Fantasy/Rain/Parting
Samsung: Jangbi/Roro/Stork/Reality
STX: INnovation/Rain/Trap
All teams basically have 3-4 guys guaranteed to play.

Scratch Taeja then T_T; but you get my point ><

I know Taeja still has his wrist issues, but what about Flash's? Did the medivacs finally healed it?

They're just hiding how much the rest of the team is improving in HotS right now. They're just hiding the fact that Flash and Wooki are actually their 2 worst players.

The difference is the guys that are a step below. On EGTL, who's your next guy after Taeja, HerO, and JD? That player will most likely be weaker than any other guy that gets sent out.

I've been told, many times in the forums, that come playoffs, KT Zergs will rise and pwn all...

I hope EGTL doesn't leave PL. It was arrogant to think that they'd own PL immediately, but it would be a shame to lose the only foreign foothold in PL. Just take a look at WJS or STX... it is definitely possible to turn it around.

For STX..After Dear/Hyvaa/INnovation/Trap, all the guys are a step below...Mini hasnt reached there yet, Last sucks at PL for some reason.
For KT, after the core and possibly crazy-hydra, everyone is also step below, Hitman's a big surprise if he wins any games. ACtion has looked terrible transitioning from WoL to HoTS
Samsung..doesnt have much to choose from after their starting 4, + Shine.
As for EG-TL I think youre underestimating Revival/Oz/Alive, Alive's been quite solid in PL, and there's absolutely no shame in losing vs Innovation and Flash.
JYP was one of EG-TL's best performers too.
Revival/Oz will come around.

He won a few games and he was EG's boyo but Coca and Puzzle were doing a lot of the heavy carrying, no?

It depends though. Some guys cannot handle being in individual leagues and PL at the same time. Sometimes they get rest; other times they don't, so meh.

Theyre certainly not the deepest team.
But they certainly dont possess the least depth.
T8, KT and STX have similar depth.
except T8's core is minimally better than EG-TL's and
KT and STX possess a super ace and a reliable 2nd hand man.
Taeja + JD has been inconsistent

Yeah, JYP basically just got sent out when nobody else was left 
CoCa was a monster that season, something like 11-5 in matches?
EDIT: 11-4

No one doubts their talent. The only question, I fear, is their training schedule. I don't know how's it like, but from EG's emphasis on streaming and marketing, maybe the environment doesn't breed them to be better players? Maybe if Coach Park stays, and implements some real hard-core training, we can see some real improvement. The worst thing is that JD's true talent may actually be stifled in EG I'm not suggesting EG's training is bad or anything, maybe it's just something the Koreans aren't used to, and mentally it stifles them.
