KT as a team is performing about the same as last year, it's mostly just Flash completely inverting his record, causing them to lose series they would otherwise win. I feel bad for him, something clearly went wrong after August and considering his pride/reputation he must feel absolutely terrible after every loss.

Zest is 6-5 and TY 2-4, they should both perform better too considering their level

You basically said (in another post) that Zest having a lot of fpl points isn't a prove your argument was wrong (that he won't be good for fpl), cause you only need to play in proleague to get points, which is likely the point you tried to make in this thread as well.
Bad for you that this doesn't matter in this case at all though, Zest didn't make the points this way at all, he carried KT in 2 matches.
But whatever, arguing with you is pretty annoying tbh, probably a waste of time :/
So i probably won't answer any of your future replies, i don't think it's worth it

I've watched every Proleague and GSL game for the past year and a half. I just don't buy the individual leagues != team leagues argument. It doesn't make logical sense. It seems like that argument is simply what early religion was to early human cultures - an attempt to make sense out of things that are unexplainable. The only possible logical explanation is if KT players are just allowed less time to practice for individual leagues and more for Proleague.

Also, it felt to me like other teams (SKT and JAGW in particular) lost SPL 2014 more than KT won it. I think people will be much more prepared for KT this time around, with specific snipers on each team for the 4 core KT players. Not to mention the fact that you essentially don't have to prepare for vZ against them, that just makes it easier.

I think Zest, Flash, Stats, and TY all had breakout years in 2014. Each saw some of if not all of their best individual league success ever in SC2. I expect at least 2 of them to drop off slightly if not significantly (Zest has already been doing so for the past ~5 months). I'm wary of both Zest and Stats having their "breakout year" during the undisputed year of Protoss. If they can maintain their 2014 level of play throughout all of 2015, then I'd definitely rank them (KT) in the top 3. I just don't expect them to. SC2 is a very volatile game. So I guess "overrated" is not exactly the word I was looking for; rather, I'd say I have tempered expectations for KT's core 4 players in 2015 (in both SPL and individual leagues).
