We've put in a lot of hours and hard-work towards achieving our goal of making it to grand finals. When Snute all-killed Team Acer in the winnerbracket final, we overcame a hurdle that we haven't been able to in the past; beating Team Acer. We've been very positive about our whole team's performance throughout the groupstage as well as the playoffs. Everyone has really stepped up and carried the team on their back when they needed to. As I say that, I have some very unfortunate news for not only us, but you guys as well. It's been known for a while that HerO is having some real-life issues that's going to keep him in Korea while the team is competing in Germany. To be more specific, HerO has moved out of the IM house recently and is now looking for a new place to live as he currently doesn't have a way to practice and needs to get that sorted out immediately. In addition to this, during IEM Shenzhen TaeJa's wrist issues has blown up again. Having travelled quite a bit and played a lot of tournaments recently, there's been a setback and his doctor has advised him to stay home for at least two weeks without playing. This means we will be without both TaeJa and HerO at the Acer TeamStory Cup finals. With that being said, we're still confident in our abilities and we're going to work hard on giving it our best to take the trophy home. Our 5 Europeans are in the best shape they've ever been. Multiple all-kills and four-kills by them during the online play has really shown how strong we are when we're all at our best. Damn, sorry to hear that. I wanted both teams at full power  . I hope Taeja gets better and HerO finds a new place soon!Snute, Bunny and the rest are great, but I'm pretty sure Acer will take it easily now. | ||

Sucks they won't participate but sounds very reasonable. Best of luck to both! | ||

With Snute sure to be fatigued after travelling from NationWars the day before (not to mention the incoming terran patch), I don't expect Liquid will now have much of a chance to make this finals into a contest. We all know how good Snute is, not to mention the rest of Liquid's Europe roster, but even starting from 1-0, it's hard to imagine how Liquid can overcome these setbacks. | ||
