Something just occurred to me, who would have thought that at this point in time, Wolf would have scored more points(well 1 more point) than MMA and Ganzi combined... Lol, I just realized that ALL the players on his team are Slayers players, so he has to hope they both win and lose. :D

Yes please. :X
It's really killing my standing atm. Lost 6 points from ST's win over IM.

we're on it T_T
in the meanwhile, enjoy week eight starting lineups
Day 1:
F.United vs SlayerS F.United: Soccer SlayerS: Taeja
MVP vs Prime MVP: Tails Prime: MKP
Day 2:
IM vs NS HoSeo IM: Happy NSHoSeo: Sage
F.United vs TSL F.United: Naniwa TSL: Heart

Why don't they release the maps anymore? So much harder to predict what will happen without maps
|
Really Tails is being played now after I traded him away after week 1. I hope SlayerS is forced to a game 7 so I can rack up some MMA points.

Now is the perfect time to grab naniwa if you can afford him. He's so set up to perform well this week. I'm sure he's got significantly better since moving to korea.
Plus, he's starting vs. TSL.
And SlayerS is a team full of terrans (PvT is his best MU).

Is DRG your only Zerg player?
Edit: He's your only Zerg player, Apparently you have to keep the lone player of each race[except random] and can only trade such player for another player of the same race.
I suspect if you trade another zerg into your team, you would be free to trade DRG for Naniwa - May need some clarification on that though

You have to have at least 1 player of each race on your team.

Yea he's my only zerg well I just got Seal I'm gonna keep DRG just cause if they want to make the playoffs they're gonna have to use him. I don't know if Nani will take them down didn't he lose to Ganzi at MLG?
TSL is strong who would of expected them to kill oGs 4-1? I think alive will take a big role in their next match.

Playoffs are not scored, I believe and I think Huk lost to Ganzi, not Naniwa. Naniwa lost to MMA I think

I said if they want to make it to the playoffs they're gonna have to use DRG, that's pretty much their only heavy hitter. Well I think Taeja will all-kill I will change my decision after his Ro8 games against JYP.

We haven't seen anything but soccer's bad PvP. But if that's any indication, Taeja will destroy soccer. In fact, I can see a Taeja all kill. Thorzain and Naniwa are the only two with a real chance against this guy and but I wouldn't put them as favorable against Taeja. Thorzain's got better chance than Naniwa cuz protoss just isn't doing well in the current meta game right now it seems. I might just go for the NalZa ->Taeja trade for this.I think if Slayers just keep throwing terrans out they'll win this no problem. Boxer/Ganzi/MMA all did better than Naniwa at MLG so yeah, one of them is gonna finish off F.United if Taeja doesn't do the job. The only thing is that soccer might have really good PvT though. He goes for some really greedy expo builds in PvP, which to me it means he must have incredible macro in his other match ups if he just insists expo'ing even in PvP. And F. United has to know that there's a 90% chance Slayers will use a terran to starter, i mean they got Min + Alicia + 8 terrans that's just expected, so hopefully they took that into account when picking Soccer to start.
MKP should beat tails, but who knows the way he's slomping. My money is on MVP needing DRG to close this one out in the end. Polt/Bongbong could take some serious wins.
God I really want Sage to beat Happy, but I'm really not sure about this one. Sage does a lot of tricky and awesome plays but sometimes it just bites him in the ass silly. ~_~. On the other hand Happy basically threw away his games vs puzzle in code A which is the only thing we've seen of his TvP. Maybe he's still terrible at that match up and Sage will take a easy head start for NS Hoseo. When IM bring out the big guns, Jjakji will come clean up for the big win 
Heart comes up once in a while in the smaller tournaments but haven't shown too many results. Hard to say. Naniwa has really good PvT in foreigner tournaments but I feel like korea terrans is just on a whole different level especially in the current metagame. But heart is probably worse than clide and alive else he'd have gotten used in past team leagues more often right. I say Naniwa is still slightly favored if you think Heart is a grade under Clide/Alive. I think TSL should be smart enough to take out Naniwa with any of the non protoss of their team. Thorzain is gonna be F.United's life line in this, Revival/Smart/Sangho are no easy foes to defeat.

I apologize, I'm a bit tired and my mind is for a lack of a better word, not functioning properly. Thank you for your clarification.
I think Taeja will beat Soccer, but I don't know if he can beat Naniwa/Thorzain if they come out, which is most likely. I agree, probably will watch the Ro8 matches/wait the counsel of psychic MrBamboo lol before deciding on anything.

I wouldn't go with heart because TSL is probably thinking we already secured a spot for playoffs so let our no-name players play such as Heart and Ultimate, a good Zerg like Revival could easily beat Naniwa I feel. I expect Alive or Sangho to clean up after their losses. MKP never performs well at GSTL he will atleast be stopped by DRG if tails is taken out I think MVP wants/needs to rack up some points.
I think Sage will edge out happy in the first game (unless 1/1/1 comes to play, Sage has really poor unit control which is needed to beat 1/1/1) but then lose to Losira followed by Jjakji cleaning house with Losira then MVP coming out.
I think a Zerg would be the best bet of beating F.United. At least we agree on Taeja's chance of doing an all-kill.

Me and Bamboo pretty much said Taeja has the possibility of all-killing :D.

But I mean. Taeja is no TheBest

Not to take anything away from TheBest, if they sent out Byun after Puzzle it would of been easy win. Who would send out Coca as the Ace after his shitty games against Keen?

Taeja is a beast. I've been sitting on him for weeks thinking he will explode. They keep giving him chances. I think this is the week it finally happens. Don't expect an all-kill though. I see 2-3 happening.
Naniwa will beat Heart. How many kills he gets depends on how serious TSL is going to take this week (considering they've basically secured a playoff spot). Either way, I think aLive will clean up if NaNiwa goes on a streak.
IM vs. NsHoSeo is the tough one to figure out. The biggest problem is the first game usually sets the tone and Happy vs. Sage really could go either way.
I think Happy will win it... but if Sage does, I think they have to bring out LosirA. They don't just need to win, they need the points. So IM will bring out their big hitters as soon as they need them.
If Happy wins, I think HoSeo is screwed. Happy is too strong vs Z to use seal. And Tassadar is too weak vs. T to use him. So it has to be a TvT. I guess sculp? Or some other closet gosu on HoSeo...

Jjakji will reverse kill as many IM players as he needs to win for NS Hoseo. That is how much I trust him :O
