So fucking unnecessary loss for SBENU. Why would you win the matches against such heavy hitters like CJ and JAGW only to lose against average teams like MVP and KHAN?! No offense, btw.
Samsung does it exactly the other way round. Always beats teams like SBENU, Prime, MVP, but never actually beats one of the big 4 teams. Like, for the past two rounds, Samsung trashed MVP but MVP did better against the big teams.

It's like a choice. what's better: to be the worst among the best or to be the best among the worst?

Quick question: Is there GSL and SSL this week? From Classic's interview yesterday, isn't the finals this Saturday?
The reason I'm asking is that I don't see any future matches updated in the events calendar - not this week, not even the entire month.
I find it bewildering and bemusing. Even BW tourney matches are updated in the calendar, way in advance.

As if that matters in the context of PL.

Yes, there are GSL semifinals tomorrow and on Friday and the SSL Grand Finals on Saturday.

But it's 100% PL Bo1 anything goes. Dear has that week every now and then where he just beats a top player.

Putting all the weight of PL on one player isn't great, when he's also not 2011-era FlaSh.

Yeah, just ask Creator, he knows all about that.

I hope next week's SPL coverage will have some cool mathematical permutations! Really curious of CJ's chances on advancing (albeit looking rather bleak).
Did SPL during BW era have this round winner slump curse (akin to individual tourneys)? This season, SKT slumped after winning Round 1, and CJ slumped after winning Round 2. And I remember SKT slumping midway last season after a good start.

I don't remember so. It was pretty much SKT crushing competition season after season. They didn't always win SPL, but they were always a serious contender.
Hard to be a Samsung fan in those dark days.

But somehow KT ripping through playoffs through their underdog Zergs! Too bad I never got into SPL during the height of BW. Lotsa interesting narratives. I watched the last ever SPL Finals where Bisu protoss-ed Flash. Holy shit amazing!
Samsung seems to breed strong individual players, though (Stork, Jangbi, etc). Still something to be excited over.

We had a bit of a dark age too. KHAN's weird, let's leave it at that. We have Solar, but he's doing terribly in PL.

Ach, was hoping for Sbenu. They seem to rise to fight harder teams but squander their efforts vs. the middling teams. I guess this makes them middling too...
Happy for DRG though!

Well that wasn't supposed to happen

I like the part where DRG is a badass

Samsung Terrans too strong, Stork's strategy starting to pay off. Samsung to the playoffs next round

Dear  what has happened to you my man

If Solar starts pulling his weight maybe.

Yeah they really need someone able to make the difference in ace matches. Right now the best ace match player on Samsung is Dear with a 0-2 record (assuming LP's stats are correct) while last season they had Stork at 2-0 and RorO at 2-1.
