He has been very consistent up until now since his debut winning tournaments and placing highly in GSL, BWC etc. JYP never got hype because... he's JYP. He was a decent player for the longest time; but he never really had an "OH SHIT" moment that got his name out there. Sure, he's on a Yankees team, but look at the other freakin' Koreans with him. Thrust a player like him in Proleague, with TBLS and the Elephant factor, obviously his fan-base wouldn't grow appropriately. Personally, I think JYP being tied for top performance in EG-TL shows how terribad the team is. JYP isn't bad, JYP isn't good, he's average; it's just everyone else on his team is pretty shite. Seeing those winrates and that ranking chart is so fuckin' depressing, man. Serious. | ||

I always saw it as "Kespa player(s) CAN win a GSL in X amount of time," rather than "Kespa player(s) WILL win a GSL in X amount of time." Rain was GSL-champion material pretty early on; but just like other GSL-champion material players that don't have a trophy to their name, no one really denies their abilities, it's just harder to argue for their sake. | ||

I think at one point you could swich two teams on the PL ranking and you would have the exact opposit of his preview ranking of the teams. That is incredibly inaccurate. And it is not only that, Fionn (and other TL writers as well) consistantly predicts that the kespa players will lose (and they are consistantly wrong). I recomend that they watch some more of PL. I think it is at this point the most competitive league in the world. | ||

I should also add, HerO's collapse contributed a lot to this. Nobody here could rightly predict that HerO was going to have one of the worst PL records. TaeJa also got injured for an entire round. Since EG-TL is mostly a 3-man team, it really hurts when something happens to 2 of them. | ||

Let's direct all of our hate towards JYP because he's a terrible player and bash HerO for getting nervous in every LR thread. Gotta love the community. Small sample size but technically Stephano has the best record on EG-TL. | ||

Actually, getting the predictions completely wrong is kind of a trait with TL writers (the TL writer's curse). It has nothing to do with Kespa or not. It happened quite a bit before Kespa players switched. | ||

Kespa players had only recently switched to SC2 and were still lagging far behind, except a select few like Rain and Bogus. I'm not sure what happened then. Kespa players have now caught up skillwise, but even in round 1, EG-TL severely underperformed. Is it due to bad coaching? Poor training conditions? Bad preparation? Too much travelling and focus on other tournaments? Who knows. Yeah, you were rational. But shit happens. Slumps, injuries and so on are valid reasons for failing to live up to expectations. | ||

For example, the last preview was group E in the U&D, they predict the three kespa players as the worst in the group and they end up in the spots 1-3. Coincidence? | ||
