If Alpha X replaced the last season's Black night ... of course, no if!

He seems like a worthwhile addition, showing some good qualifier runs vs. Koreans. Is it because there was some smurfing controversy in the past? (but if that's the case, it seems like half of the other players also shouldn't have teams...) It is due to the matchfixing scandal in 2017. 1. His involvement in the matchfixing scandal in the original SL team league did a huge blow to the league. 2. He also screen cheated during an online tournament against one of his own teammates (X-Team). That teammate came from a family hugely impacted by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake and spent a lot of time taking care of his grandmother. 1. is already considered unacceptable by many but 2 makes him unforgivable from the Audience's perspective. | ||

So, there was more scandal I was unaware of, I see. Thank you! | ||

I knew about this scandal, and since Coffee and BKGG seem to have been forgiven since then, I was wondering why Silky wasn't, since apparently they did more or less the same things. But busyghost's explanation added the additional detail that made it clear. | ||

Please see the words from  Scarlett in the forum.(I believe she is true Scarlett) https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/523751-7-chinese-players-banned-match-fixing-and-smurfing#13 If "20170610" didn't exist, would Coffee and Chinese Silky have been better than now? No one knows. | ||

What is this Ghost rush build from TIME wth Brutal series for SYF. Not unexpected, but still. 16-4 now in predictions btw. (7 w correct score - 9 simply correct outcome - 4 wrong) I feel like it has to go downhill from here. :D | ||

Also, Astrea has now taken leadership over Dream with most wins with that ace win. Most importantly my prediction rate is 81% now, thanks for not letting me down Alpha X!  | ||

And to top it off, I don't think any of their players have had a particularly bad or particularly great day yet. They seem to be a team that can always deliver to their level. Kaizi for example has a lot more wildcard elements (aka Dear). | ||

They don't really have the best or deepest roster in the tournament, but every week when the lineups are publicized it worked out so that AlphaX has a shot. The closest to having no shot on paper they've been was against TSG before TY left (which could be argued an ace match could have been feasible from the start anyway) and that was the only match they lost.

Wow, you didn't even read my interview with Astrea, in which he told us that him and Zoun pick their maps and then bully BKGG to take whatever is left? Are you even a SC2 fan Elentos?!  Edit: Totally agree on the topic, though! | ||
