It wasn't intentional to play BBoongBBoong against soO, I'm sure. given that they played him on expedition lost its pretty much a given that soo is coming out. not only is it by far one of the best zerg maps, zergs always come out here because the other maps are horseshit, and soo's last 3 prleague games have been on expedition lost. so yea, it was probably intentional
You raise some valid points. I don't think Prime really have anyone they would want playing against soO on Expedition, so maybe they have reason to believe BBoongBBoong is their best shot. I suppose they might have wanted YoDa to mech, but it's starting to look they're aiming more for him to get TvP or TvT.

I agree 100%. Seems like a damage control measure, because Prime has to get perfect matchups for Creator and yoda if they want to stand a chance. RIP bboongbboong tho

I should have asked this question very-very long ago... How are the line-ups formed? I thought every team just blindly submits their 4 players and everyone learns their opponent on Friday, when the line-ups are published. All that talks about snipes and fielding one player against another tells me I'm wrong.

You are right. The talk about snipes etc. it's because coaches kinda can guess their opponent's choices, for ex. on Expedition Lost you expect the other team to field a Zerg, hence you field someone with good vZ.
What Elentos is saying is that it was pretty obvious that SKT would field soO in Expedition Lost, and Prime fielding BboongBoong on that map tells us that they thing he will do well against soO... which we find strange since soO is 7-0 or so on ZvZ.

I think he's also 5-0 on Expedition Lost.

Prime will finally get the 0-7 they deserve.
For someone who hates Prime this much you sure do give them a lot of attention
