* = ace. Last player on team can be chosen from the entire lineup, even if the player was eliminated before.

If JYP and Jaedong don't show it could be kind of a disappointing match. I feel like EG could be doing much better than their record shows. Being YoeFW is a pretty solid win.

I would really like to see millenniums players besides Forgg take some wins here I feel like in all their games hes the one getting 90% of the wins

Even BabyKnight and Dayshi are, in my opinion, favorites over any of EG's non-Koreans, and arguably even JYP as well. EG has a tough fight in front of them, and as of right now, they are already in the bottom 4 and in danger of relegation.

Dayshi all kill with only hellions and scvs

JD and JYP are both available I think.
This league is tough on us. We are either KR or NA for the most part so half the time we play on the EU server (or vice versa for the EU opponents) and we usually start around 6am my time.
We qualified for this so it is on us but international team leagues in SC2 with no neutral server/lan is really really hard unless you are mostly EU playing in a EU based league (or NA on NA or KR on KR etc).
that said we will give it our best and try and make it hard on these teams

@iNcontroL, yeah I get that it's probably pretty tough especially as mainly west coast NA for the people outside of Korea. Hard enough for me to get up in time for it on the East Coast sometimes and I doubt I could play 100% at 6 AM not to mention cross server. I'm glad to see EG participating though. I feel like Team Leagues were just really undervalued in SC2 and the pro scene is missing a lot of that rivalry factor we still kind of saw early on with things like EG vs TL outside of proleague and I'd like to see some of that come back.
Obviously it's better to see a good mix of players from EG rather than you guys just sending Jaedong 1st every time and see if he all kills and the other players on EG are definitely performing much better lately imo. I just feel like EG's 1-3 record doesn't really reflect how good of a team they can be when everyone is available to play.

agreed. We are by far more of a tourney team.. each player has done pretty damn well in WCS this season etc. But cross server / bad times / we travel a lot = tough to do decent in a team league.

Yeah I see EG as the team of unfortunate circumstances, and that's why they're doing so poorly. It's really too bad.

What about Stephano? Any chance he might play?

Unfortunate is a good word. 1. Getting reverse all killed by your former rival, who somehow managed to claim victory from the jaws of defeat 2. Going up against Acer, only to realize that they decided to field Innovation of all people first 3. Going up against mYi, and not having Jaedong available
For the sake of the competitiveness of ATC, as well as the hype, I do hope that EG can take a few matches, and make the match against Mill close.

I personally feel like this died back when huk joined eg and then now it feels like team liquid is on just a whole new level when it comes to results and now it feels like its a Liquid Acer rivaly between the foreign teams. what do you think?

The rivalry was still alive and well when Huk joined EG. If anything, the transfer only increased the rivalry. I think the rivalry died with EGTL in PL. Can't really sustain a rivalry well when you are teammates.
The transfer of Huk to EG did kill the hype of the Huk-Idra rivalry though, for the above reasons

EG needs to re-establish the foreigner scene dominance. Go EG!

I agree. As awesome (and it was awesome) as the two titan foreigner teams join forces to battle the overwhelming Proleague, it killed alot of the hype
Then again one could say that about Axiom-Acer partnership, altough that's a more friendly rivalry (but let's be fair, all rivalry are more or less friendly to some extent in my book)
