Liquid and EG, the eternal rivalry of blue, both come into the next ATC match looking for revenge. Liquid’s starcraft two squad has been picking apart EG’s since their ill-fated proleague partnership ended. On the other side of the e-sports world EG’s dota 2 team has been punting Liquid’s four man squad out of NA events left and right.
So which team will take this match? Based on recent results you’ll agree that it has to be liquid. TL’s recent acquisitions, Bunny and MaNa, are both strong additions to the team while EG’s most recent player transfers were the loss of their 2013 Korean core, aLive, OZ and Revival.
The rivalry is as strong as ever but Liquid, the perennial team-league favourite, has taken great strides to broaden the gap between themselves and the weakened EG squad. If we examine the support players of both teams we see a clear advantage to Liquid.
TLO and Snute have both improved considerably in the last year and, while Bunny and MaNa haven’t yet caught fire under the liquid banner, it isn’t hard to see why Liquid picked them up. The one weak point in Liquid’s supporting cast is Ret; though he was once a top tier player it has been some time since he has shone regularly getting knocked out of tournaments in the early rounds.
EG’s line up is reduced from last year, their focus has moved more towards the NA scene and away from Korea. Huk is on an upswing after laying dormant for most of 2013 but besides his reinvigorated play the EG NA squad is looking weak: Suppy and Xenocider both have to focus on school and their coming finals while Demuslim has never been able to realize his potential. Maybe ThorZain can bring back his old teamleague form but it has been a long time since he was Mouz’ consistent Korean killer. iNcontroL is, as he always has been, an incredible asset to EG as a team but his actual level of play is no longer the top of the NA scene as it once was. JYP may be the only hope besides Huk for EG’s non-ace players to take games from the strong liquid squad but, besides his excellent run at DHW (defeating MMA, Polt, NaNiwa and Jaedong before being eliminated by Innovation) JYP has not shown the high caliber of play once expected of him.
When it comes to the ace, an even more important factor in this the day of ace revive rules than ever before, Liquid once again seems to come out on top. While TaeJa has not being playing up to his old standards he is still a standard bearer for the liquid team. He is always a threat to any team and has, in recent times, seemed to have Jaedong’s number. If TaeJa should falter HerO is always there to back him up and, as long as he doesn’t have to play starbow, HerO should do fine; though for those rooting for EG there is some hope in his recent 2-0 loss to Losira in the recent GSL Global Championship Qualifier.
EG’s ace has seen a significant downturn in his play lately, most recently being demolished twice by Innovation in EG’s embarrassing first game of the ATC. One can never truly discount the Dong though, he is one of the best rts players of all time and, the only TBLS who seems to have successfully transitioned his individual league reputation into SC2.
With Jaedong’s recent weakness to high level terran play early wins from EG will be crucial to force Liquid’s HerO and his timid PvZ out against Jaedong while hoping for JYP to be able to topple the Terran powerhouse that is Taeja. Similarly for Liquid early wins are crucial to allow their aces to battle out in the match-ups they find most favourable.
With the strength of Liquid’s foreigners seeming to be much greater than that of EG’s and the dual Korean aces of the former being in better form than the latter it seems likely that the boys in slightly lighter blue have the advantage. However, in the all kill format one hot player can make the difference and, as we’ve seen so far this season, an all-kill is very possible for either side. So grab a drink and sit back to watch another great chapter in one of the best esports rivalries unfold. Whoever wins I can promise you one thing, these games will be excellent.

An EG win would be good for the suspense of the league.

Your Heart and FATC picks aren't likely to happen. Even though the best strat in this revive-style, all-kill team league is to send your strongest players out first Liquid wants to give playing time to their Eurpoeans. Probably Snute first, with 2 out of Mana, Bunny, Taeja, and TLO with HerO playing for sure TL can send as many players as they'd like to lose before sending out TaeJa/HerO
Unless EG sends out JD first or JYP has one of his random hot streaks TL is already gonna be well on their way to winning before they even have to send out Taeja/HerO is my point. They won't have a chance to all kill.

Jaedong please, it's time.

Thanks. I plan on it, I did the Millenium/Axiom one as well since that LR is posted and I'm doing my best to create a coverage team for this team league. Anyone interested in helping out is welcome to PM me.
As soon as I see the LRs for more matches I'll post more previews. Any thoughts or suggestion you, or anyone, has on how I could improve them would be appreciated.

Are you part of Waxangel's team? Because he was also looking for people to cover the ATC I think.

HerO 4-0 then incontrol reverse all-kill

That's the thing with Starcraft though,
Jaedong could all kill TL 5-0
but Taeja could just as possibly all kill EG 5-0
All that matters is who shows up on game day prepared and able to better execute their gameplay and get the momentum.

There needs to be some serious hype for this match (and both teams should be trying to hype this match up big time). It's a marketing mistake not to build hype and attention to historic rivalries such as EG-Liquid, and frankly this rivalry has been taken too lightly by the teams in the past few years. because most of eg faded into oblivion There is no rivalry between Taeja and Jaedong (which is sad). On a more serious side of things: It'd be great if they would let their foreigners battle it out and go for koreans as ace only - but that won't happen. So I won't be hyped, but hoping for a Taeja allkill Snute bunny and mana could probably all-kill all of eg's foreign team That's the thing with Starcraft though, Jaedong could all kill TL 5-0 but Taeja could just as possibly all kill EG 5-0 All that matters is who shows up on game day prepared and able to better execute their gameplay and get the momentum.
JD all kill? At this point I'm not even sure if he can win snute in a BO5

Sure it's possible. Leenock and ForGG both got all kills and they've been quiet for a while

Liquid at least posted about it so that's a decent start for the hype
