Leenock has been fielded in as many ace matches as Stats this year. That is criminal.

When I expect the other team to send out any player for the ace match, I don't send Leenock. Not in 2016, anyway. But he's surprisingly solid on Overgrowth.

The only reasonable conclusion is that KT expected ST_Aphrodite to be sent out.
ModeratorProtoss all-ins are like a wok. You can throw whatever you want in there and it will turn out alright.

Did the KT coaches expect everyone to expect another Zest ace, and therefore knew Afreeca would send a zerg sniper, and therefore decided to counter-snipe?

Even if that's true, I still can't understand why they don't just send Stats. Surely he must be better at PvZ than Leenock is ZvZ, even if Leenock is prepared for this.

Yeah, no way that's what they expected, because as you say you'd be sending Stats.

Leenock must have been specifically prepared for this situation but I still don't have much faith

Even just sending TY would be a better choice because he already prepared for Curious once and just got a bit unlucky he got cheesed out.

Odds are they expected Super and wanted Leenock to go for the gold.

let's hope Leenock does this so that Gumiho can rock the playoffs

How can a team with the best TY of his career, Zest's 2nd coming and Stats perform so badly in PL?
