Hm, looks like Paralyze is playing instead of Bisu in that first match. At least he gets to play in the other.
Glad that Taeja is back ^^ EG-TL should be able to take that first match. Alive has the skill to beat Parting, Taeja definitely can win if he's on form, JvZ, and the rest hopefully can win 1 more lol (please no 4-0 comeback >_>)
Looking forward to Flash vs Soulkey and Bogus vs Taeja.

Haha, only as reliable as the sources (P.S. Kespa needs to step it up and keep their own site maintained better. How is it that the other Korean sites are posting lineups before them now?)
Anyway, to everyone: if you have some time, please pick your favourite match and click through all the players to report if any HotS TLPD database links aren't working yet. Thanks!
Should be some entertaining matches this week. Seems like KT is still grasping for anyone they can field who might win a game. WJS gonna continue crushing face =/
EG-TL bringing their strongest lineup of Alive, Oz, Hero, JYP, Jaedong, and of course, the return of Taeja, so here's hoping that they'll really deliver this week!
O snap, Taeja's back!! Every team needs a star: SKT1 have Rain (and now Parting), KT have Flash, STX have Innovation, Samsung have Roro, right now Taeja is EGTL's. They just aren't the same without him.

anybody know why he hadn't been playing?
His wrists got worse. I kinda feel bad for Taeja that there is a lot of pressure on him to show up for Proleague, but if he can practise, stream, and play in code S, he should be able to handle just one game a night.
Although if HerO beats Rain, he's gonna stomp everybody for weeks from the confidence boost. And his PvP has been looking really good + Fighting Spirit will definitely allow for crazyness which would probably give HerO a good chance since he lives in the chaos and Rain's known to be far more conservative.

I managed to put a team of Flash, Taeja, Fantasy, Soulkey, Hydra and Stats together, if they don't do well in the next 2 weeks, I don't know who would.
This time the player picks for the maps are much better for EGTL. The players have the advantage in just about every match-up. 4-2 vs SKT and 4-1 vs STX.

Fighting Spirit is considered Protoss favoured, so everybody sends out their best Protoss on it. Hence we're gonna se some great PvPs.

honestly i've given up predicting how EG-TL games go. sometimes i'm like "they got this" and then they lose 4-0 and other times i'm like "lol EZ-TL" and then they win lol haha
Nice Rain vs HerO! Should be a really good PvP! Soulkey vs Flash could be Code S Ro32 Group H game :D one of the guys could get revenge by losing Code S match. OMGosh! Innovation vs Taeja! Could be Code S semifinals :D such a good TvT! Really good matchups!
Team: SK Telecom T1 Jaedong as captain Bisu Oz JYP Flash Brown
Anti-Team: Soulkey (a dumb move on my part, but can only switch out for Rain or Innovation at this point, and i think that would be more dumb) Best Hero (EGTL)
I think i may actually have a chance for some points this week, provided Soulkey loses to Flash...

Back in the BW days KeSPA was ridiculously late on lineups. Had to translate from an image on fomos. No English names posted and no text to copy/paste and tlpdize.
Currently ranked #79... Made 2 trades again this week.
(C) Rain (P) - SKT - 2 matchups, 1 guaranteed (EGTLHero match 5, Cure) - I think he wins both convincingly, and an ace match vs. T8's Argo if necessary
Stats (P) - KT - 2 matchups, 1 guaranteed (Bbyong match 5, sOs) - Expecting him to beat Bbyong, but sOs is a monster
Light (T) - WJS - 2 matchups, 1 guaranteed (Reality match 6, hitmaN) - Think he'll get a team win vs. Samsung, then crush hitmaN on Newkirk
herO[jOin] (P) - CJ - 1 guaranteed matchup (BarrackS) - Slumping hard but I think he bounces back here.. Traded JD for him last week
TaeJa (T) - EGTL - 2 guaranteed matchups (Brown, Innovation) - Traded Solar (Z) for him. Brown is beatable on Whirlwind where Taeja can Medivac Boost to victory. Innovation is sick but Taeja beat him on Antiga last time in Proleague. I think there's also a chance that he plays an Ace match vs. STX since STX has 4 Protoss players (which makes Jaedong unlikely) and only 1 Zerg (which Taeja doesn't do as well against).
ABLM (Z) - T8 - 2 guaranteed matchups (YoungJoo/Size, Bisu) - Traded Bong (P) for him since I needed another Zerg to pick up Taeja. Think he can win at least 1 here. Bisu match is ZvP on Whirlwind where he'll have the advantage.
------
Anti Team:
s2 (no matchups) Revival (no matchups) Last (1 matchup vs TY/Baby) ------
Previous Trades:
-Jaedong for CJ's Hero (week 2) -Savage/Ryul2 for Solar (week2)
It was REALLY tough not to trade for Flash while his trade value is possibly the lowest it will ever get in Proleague. The only players I could trade for him were CJ's Hero, Light and Stats, so I opted against it. I might pick him up next week depending on how things turn out. Stats went 3-0 this week with 1 ace win and 1 team win and his price went up by 2.86, which is the same as how much Flash went down, so even if Flash has a great week (not a given since he plays Soulkey) I'll probably still be able to trade for him.
After today´s Code S Flash seems like a huge pick-up for such low cost after his mini-slump, and he has dismantled Soulkey as well. Taeja is also cheaply removed from anti.
But I´m really insecure about Argo. He has such a high trade value, but I wouldn´t know what to get for him. I guess a WJS player (sOs, Soulkey, ZerO, Light) would make sense. They are all available and they all play twice, though Soulkey is matched against Flash, but on a map he didn´t play in Code S... Is there a safer bet, than sticking with Argo? ZerO and sOs play two mirrors, Light might only play once, Soulkey could come out as ace. Then there´s Roro who is a beast, but plays only once this week...
Jaedong to win a ZvP is pretty ballsy. And against Trap, who has been killing my anti team, too.
He can't be terrible all the time, I think his turn might come this week.
Yes, he can be terrible all the time, and I actually think he will lose against soO, who also has good ZvZ.
Jaedong's only terrible in zvp so no he isn't terrible all the time just in 1 match up (which he gets matched against all the time T_T). His zvz is quiet sick as well as his zvt. I do hope he gets his turn around in zvp as that is really his only awful match up right now.

It's because the Kespa maps are much better suited for protoss than the ones in GSL.

Taeja has been doing a lot of mech on stream. I hope that's not really what he intends to do or I think Innovation will pick him apart. Looking forward to a lot of matchups again. Proleague is so good.
Edit: Also switched Taeja from my anti to my main, haha. He's so cheap now.
Protoss have traditionally been the strongest race in Proleague ever since Hybrid Proleague. On average, KeSPa Protoss are the strongest while KeSPa Terrans have been the weakest race in Proleague. It's just that Flash and Innovation are so strong that you forget about everyone else.

With such logic I can say it vice versa It's just that sOs and Rain are so strong and maps are so good that you have 5 PvP on Fighting Spirit this week that you forget about everyone else.
On a serius note protoss has a lot of wins due to PvP and there are a lot of good terrans like Cure, BrAvO and Reality.

nah I definitely agree with monk, kespa protosses are easily their strongest race
