I did Best -> Sacsri

Sacsri has two zvz's this week, one against relatively unknown Songduri. Sacsri is already pretty good at zvz's but may become enlightened via endless practices with sOo, who also has a zvz. One drawback is that SK Telecom are matched against Woongjin Stars and CJ Entus, who are both pretty good teams. But then, team wins are relatively unpredictable these days. I would have preferred to see a match up against STX Soul, but they are not a total push over. And if I end up holding Sacsri for two additional weeks, he does end up playing against Khan, Team 8, and STX Soul. So we will see.

This is going to be a crazy hard week for WJ. Wondering what Aria can do, after BisAng wasn't quite looking strong two weeks ago. But I'm glad they are also trying out these younger guns, who knows.

I'm hoping for 2 wins from Samsung but it also seems to be hard for them to get there.

My only problem with this round is the amount of mirrors, I wish map-snipes wouldn't be so predictable.

Also my fantasy team. hahaha. Not like I'm not the last one probably but that's another story.

I think Thorzain switched completely to HotS so he can't be sent out for WoL anymore.

Pretty sure he still plays WoL. Just because he streams HotS, doesn't mean he's completely switched over. Heck he even tried to qualify for GSL, which is WoL.

Seems like EG-TL has no confidense at all in Thorzain?

I want to trade soO or Soulkey for Wooki, since Wooki has pretty easy match-ups compared to them. I'd say Soulkey has a bit easier and should be the favorite vs. Dear, but his matches are 5th and 6th.

I wish @EGtrotRC (EG-TL coach) had out HerO on Cloud Kingdom. It's the map he ALWAYS picks, plus it's guaranteed to be played (and map wins are important in the points). It's also unfortunate that Revival, another one of our most consistent winners, only gets to play if it goes to Ace. Again, we're putting in JYP and Puma who got 2-0'd, iirc, in Code A qualifiers today. Thorzain also failed to qualify - I think now is the time to give Huk another chance (plus, he made it out of his Up/Down group, so that's a plus in his favor).

tbh there's not much to choose b/w them but at least thorzain has one kill to his name. Puma actually has the worst record in proleague, he is 70th place out of 70. It would be nice to see a little affirmative action here. I mean, c'mon, round 1 MVP!

EGTL's lack of terran depth has been exposed horribly by taeja's injury. If I was coach I'd instruct my terrans to just cheese every game in the hope of just getting a random win. What I'd really like to see though would be for them to fly out Demuslim as an act of desperation

Oh yeah, and I forgot that we have Stephano. Why aren't we playing Stephano in every match? And Taeja's playing in Code S groups tonight. Why can't we play him in Proleague? Even if we put him in EVERY match, that's only two maps per week. Honestly, even a barely practicing Taeja is going to be better than a very well practiced JYP, Puma, and probably Jaedong. (on average)

Why do they keep playing Puma, he has got the worst record on the team (0 - 5), and none of his games looked any good. Isn't there anyone else?

Puma has the worst record in the league. And that's over a LOT of matches. Thorzain "deserves" to be played over Puma, at least in Proleague. I think that's starting to become clear.

And here's the worst part: Puma's good enough that he's eventually going to win a map. At which point, that's even more justification for @EGtrotRC to put him out AGAIN.

I've never felt so negative/personal about a coach before (and I'm a pretty big Vancouver Canucks [NHL hockey] fan - been one for my whole life), but I really disagree with his picks. I like him from his interviews, but I think he has GOT to change his picking philosophy.
