GP would probably have wanted Nightmare against Firefly rather than Prince, but it still look like a doable match to go get the 3 points and keep their hopes alive.
As for TL, this is probably the best they could have hope for, if Clem can get points on the bord against Reynor. Even an ace would put them in an amazing place in the race against GP.
Also, shootout to the ducklings who seems to have pretty reasonable hopes to get at least an ace match against PSI.

In what World do you live in?
Each of the ducklings has a reasonable shot at going 1-1.
It happening in all 3 matches seems realy unlikely in my eys at least.
And even a single 2-0 for any of the ducklings is pretty unlikely as well, as all 3 PsiStorm players are still the favorites here

Cranky Ducklings almost pulled it off because the Team Liquid players don't have a great defence against s**thouse build orders. Against players like the PSIS ones who aren't averse to cheese themselves, they know better how to defend against opposite cheeses. 6-0 Psistorm isn't out of stretch in that aspect.

Special has not been looking to hot lately and Vindicta can upset Has in tvp I think.

Like I said, the Ducks never had a chance, PSI will have plenty of bird to go arround for Thanksgiving.

Pattymac not showing up so the Ducks had to call Oreo in panic mode. They werent sure Oreo would be available either

When GP's clean victory, this TL vs KZ match is now hugely important for both teams. Potentially playoff deciding
|
Reynor keep fighting without 3-3 upgrade is unbelievable bad, he lost to Clem in DH EU in the same way and now hes repeating it.

GP navigate a dangerous Saturday and the pressure is back on TL shoulders for the next 2 weeks. GP also increase their map score lead a bit, but would have probably love one or two more to make sure they enter the last week with the tiebreaker over TL.
The boys in blue can't leave any points on the board vs the chinese now and need to hope GP doesn't force an ace against DPG or KZ.
If that come to pass, we're looking at a week 11 match up with TL a point ahead GP going up against PSI while the owls have the easier match up vs GGG.
Should be a fun end of the season!

The issue with TL this season was Clem not able to 2-0 his opponent frequently enough, I think he only manage to do it twice in 8 weeks. Granted that his opponent are usually very tough, but thats why TL has left points on the board (either by winning or losing though ACE match) and thats also why they dont have a good map score.

While I have been critical of Clem WTL performance in the past, the addition of Elazer was suppose to fix TL holes and transform them into a genuite contender for the title, and he really hasn't deliver either this season.
Splitting vs Scarlett and Spirit is understandable if not a bit unfortunate, but he really needed to go get the points against Rex and Rattata.

There is definitely enough blame to go around, but there are level of expectation. I personally find its harder to accept Clem go 10-8 than Elazer get 5-7.

Clem is the only player in the top 10 (sorted by wins) to have a sub 60% winrate (56%), lower than freaking Prince and even lower than Reynor's 57%.
