Not to mention Ryung and Alicia. Axiom-Acer does well with its limited roster in this Bo7 format. They just need a Zerg though now that Scarlett is out injured.
I guess something happened to him and he's gone. I can update the OP I guess but I'm not really following along too closely cause I'm doing some other things. Someone want to post the polls and I'll just add them in and update the roster/winners?

You forgot Innovation.
In the pre-match camera panning, I didn't see any obnoxious green shirts. (Unfortunately, I don't know their faces with any certainty. I'm lousy with faces in general.)
OH... there it is. Maybe he was just stepped away for a moment. But maybe Crank will just go boss mode and save Innovation for later matches.

Patience had no chance - DTs already in place, slamming the pylon powering the stargate (his only chance of detection would've been an Oracle) and taking down drones.

The reasoning is Ryung has a good shot to beat Center, a good shot to beat Supernova. And even if he loses to either one, you can send in Alicia on a map he likes for a very strong kill on a Terran and they will hopefully save that map pick for Supernova.

Don't worry, didn't take it the wrong way, you were right. Just wanted to tell you why it happened ^^ Let's hope for some more good games. Want to see innovation today :-D

Crank is good. Much better than you'd expect from a guy that has neck problems and takes care of the entire team.
that's exactly the point i was trying to make: he's basically a coach/butler/team manager/hero/veteran and he also picked up kills on some of azubu's top players

The only constant for Ryung is inconsistency. If he could only maintain his solid form for just a little while, he could be a champion. God damn

His losing game in WCS NA was a really well played TvT.
Finally a game where someone doesn't skimp on turrets! I always wonder why people don't get tha range and building armor upgrade after 3/3 in games where turrets are needed later on in the game.

woah! there is a range and building armor upgrade? ive been playing this game for years (not terran admittedly) and suddenly I feel like I don`t know this game anymore
Honestly, I'm a bit worried about Alicia as well. His PvT is very solid, and should be good enough to take out Supernova, but it was his PvT that also kept him from WCS Premier as well.
Yeah, I think that as unlikely as Center beating Innovation is, Center played really good TvT last game and it's Innovation's weakest matchup. Alicia is the safer choice.

Yes they're actually good but not enough to prioritize them over bio upgrades -_-;

Wolf can only recognize people by their hair. That's why he hated Tails after the tomato haircut. He thought it was an alien imposter that stole his body and changed his hair.

I think it's better to pull everything into the main base vs a blink allin like this, no? Less area to bounce between I would think, easier for T to cover.

It might be safer but it's not necessarily better, as you'd lose a lot of your mining advantage from not having the 2 base saturation, so you'd be able to produce fewer units. Widow mines and Tanks really help hold this, but Supernova had no gas because he went CC first into double rax (then added a third barracks before gas), so he was just at a build order disadvantage form his choices. He scouted what Alicia was doing (which prompted the third rax) but Alicia got a good scout, saw no gas, and knew his build would work so he went with it anyway despite being scouted.
Yeah, Crank said it very well. Axiom-Acer has really great depth. Even with a super ace in Innovation, the rest of the bench certainly has capable to taking down any team.

Alicia killed enough SCVs that the 2 vs. 1 base saturation didn't affect anything D:

Well, even with the CC at the natural, did Supernova ever have more than 16 on mins 6 on gas? He lost a lot of SCVs, and he had a lot of SCVs on permanent repair, at least, with everything in the main there's a chance to hold out till medivacs, then retake the natural. Protoss should be on 1 base the entire time, and when he does expand he has to release the pressure somewhat, allowing Supernova to retake the nat. Because IMO, as long as you don't lose to much to the initial rounds of blink stalkers, medivacs + bio >>>>> blink stalkers assuming that terran doesn't take too much of an econ disadvantage.
To me, it just seems like the natural is extra vulnerability and not much economic benefit...

Well, the fact that they have so few players is a concern though, since this will make their lineups especially predictable in PL format (6 players fielded as opposed to 4). Combined with all the WCS stuff and travelling, it could be tougher, so it's good that they are gaining this big lead in Ro1 just in case.
Looking at their current roster: Innovation MMA Ryung Heart Alicia Crank (neck injury) Scarlett (wrist injury)
In addition, you'll have players like MMA, Heart, and possibly Crank and Scarlett travelling for WCS, which will really strain the roster.
AXA doing the work I expected them to. Pretty great day to have Crank and Alicia on your FGSTL, as well as AXA as your team. ;p I was getting worried at the start because I decided to do an AXA-based FGSTL without Innovation, but seems to be going alright so far.

Mine is doing horribly. Most Ax-Acer players are on the higher cost tier. Couldn't get Innovation and settled with Azubu for my team.

To be fair, supernova screwed up a bit. His bunker in his main wasn't positioned properly: the point of the bunker in the main is to make sure they can't blink in without taking a lot of damage, and there was a large area they could blink in and wait for the cooldown.
