Does anyone know what time the EG-TL vs KT match will be?

Not that it matters much. For this game I'm willing to get up at 5 am like in the good old times

- Games will broadcast at mid-day on OGN during weekends, while SPOTV begins their broadcast at 5pm KST on Monday and Tuesdays.

Wait a second, who owns the team house in Korea, is it EG? EG has two team houses now?

What the fuck are the other teams doing wrong, seriously.
We hear all the time how various so called "teams" opens up a team house and then some bullshit happens, like we lost the money, players aren't getting food or the staff in the house are idiots. Then we have EG which for some odd reason are competent enough to have two team houses. EG should hold courses to the other teams on how to operate a successful organization.

Hmm, I'm not liking this team all that much. They could do well in an all-kill format with Taeja and Stephano as the backbone and HerO, JYP and the rest as the meat, but they might not do well in Proleague. Do they have a player for each matchup? Proleague format puts a lot of importance in race picking for maps, so having a matchup ace for all matchups is more important than having all-around strong players.

TvT: Taeja
TvZ: Taeja
TvP: Taeja
DeMuslim is okay in TvT and TvP though, esp if he brings his NASL form. Not sure how Thorzain is right now. Sea is showing potential but not sure what his best matchup is. PuMa had eye surgery or something (read it on NASL LR thread explaining his triple bunker rush), so I wonder how much he has been practicing.

PvP: HuK / Coinflip
PvZ: JYP? I guess
PvT: HerO? No real choice.
Their Toss lineup of HerO/JYP/HuK look good on paper, but do any of them have a really strong matchup? They are all players that are good in everything but don't have a specific great one. JYPvZ used to be solid but I don't know about now, esp with all the late game PvZ tears.

ZvZ: Idra / Zenio
ZvT: Stephano
ZvP: Stephano
The Zerg lineup seems ok, with Idra showing really strong ZvZ recently. Stephano is historically weakest in that matchup but thankfully Zenio and Idra might be good enough to fill that role. Picking up ByuL might be a good idea though. I liked the look of his ZvT.

Actually that's better than I thought. However they're going to need someone to step up in the TvX (Taeja can only play one game lol) and PvX matchups (more specialty, less all around) before they will really be a threatening team. Hope they do well.

Edit: Forgot to mention they could get counter picked really hard. Stephano doesn't like ZvZ, JYPvT is legendary, HerO's pretty weak in PvP, HuK's PvT is sub-50. Taeja is the only one without a weak matchup among their staples.

A lot of teams are JUST SC2 or JUST a couple of games and are relatively new with little experience. EG is a 13 year old multigaming organisation spread across several different games, with an insane number of sponsors and a group of management figures who take the "business" aspect of it very seriously indeed.

Simply put, they run as a proper business and have a long standing reputation and a lot of experience in esports. Thats how they're so successful; rather than just starting up and then operating on a wing and a prayer.
