no. But they have 6 Code S players from this season on the line up and 3more from last season. Oz and Lucky are not amongst them and I'd rate HerO above them as well. And they are not playing Life, who is their starplayer. It feels a bit like they aren't really trying, though they actually have (had?) a shot for the playoffs if they just would perform well this round, no?

Let me at least explain the logic behind that decision I was having a hard time picking a Terran. I don't like to spend more than 7 points on a single player so the good ones were out of discussion except Bbyong, but I didn't want to pick him because I had better* deals to spend those points on. The mid value Terrans were not getting good matchups* this week so it looked like a 50/50 bet, I rather spend the points in a safer choice. Therefore I was left with the cheapest ones, which are not worth trading later since they never get playtime or they lose when they do, and don't get many team points either, hence their value never increases. And even if you find a decent trade for them it's still not worth to spend the trade on a cheap player because the potential gain is low. So I went with a 0 pointer Terran to comply the Terran quota and what do you do with a player you can never get rid of? You make him your captain so you can trade your other players freely *IMHO | ||

In the most likely scenario IM has to win the round playoffs and not get any lower than 3rd for the round. In addition this could all mean nothing if CJ gets 2nd or better for the round. IM could still max at 246 points. CJ is currently at 182. CJ needs 64 points or better to eliminate IM no matter what from the post-season. So basically if CJ misses the playoffs this round (could easily happen) and IM shapes up (hey MVP did it in round 2), this isn't over at all. | ||

There is just way way too little time to prepare. Ah, you were talking likelihoods. Well, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. It looks quite grim, with CJ likely getting that 4th spot. Still, it's not quite as absurd as it may seem for IM to make it. | ||
