Yeah, on the series. CJ always loses day 1. Terms?

And it's GO time! (Anyone get it?)

The series is fine. As for terms I uunno. There's nothing in particular I want to impose on anyone.

If SKT wins, I will write a short fiction (we'll say 2000 words+) about it, and how awesome SKT is.
That's an interesting idea - sure, I'll go for this, same terms for me except about CJ.

Deal, Zona. You can't go Roffles on me.

Expect a slavishly produced short story from Zona about the awesomeness of CJ Entus.

The CJ Entus pro-gaming team, known locally as the ‘The Greatest Source of Light and Peace and Justice in the World’, has once again made the playoff round of the Shinhan Bank Proleague. But this isn’t like last year. Or that other year. Or even that other year you remember. Because this year, it’s our year. Because this year, CJ is going all the way.

Five scientifically tested, strenuously fact-checked reasons why:


***


One: The Ace.
[image loading]
Pew Pew!

This year’s format isn’t the super-ace format that thrilled hearts, and killed the dreams of pretty much everyone. But that doesn’t mean that the series can’t go down to one game. When that time comes, you’d better know who you’ve got going for you. In other words, you’d best have an ace.

And CJ’s ace has a plane.

It’s no secret that the 2009-2010 season has been an up and down one for (Z)EffOrt. But for all of his mid-season struggles, the alien has re-emerged, and is better and stronger than ever before. The pristine management and sublime multi-task are still there. But the new EffOrt has the mind-games, a the micro and just such an overall badass quotient that he can do pretty much whatever the hell he wants to do, and still win.

Furthermore, (and let’s not forget), that the old EffOrt tore through opponents like a loosed Bengal tiger on a tourist in last year’s playoffs, until he met his match in Jaedong. So not only does EffOrt have a history of laying waste this time of year, but he’s also got something to prove. This kid ain’t losing.

Two: The Sage.
[image loading]
The look of hopes and dreams triumphant. Expect this look to make a reprise.

CJ has the best coach in starcraft. Plain and simple. In terms of filling out the line-up card, in terms of tactics, in terms of getting the best out of his players, and in terms of caring for his players, Coach Cho is the best.

What this means is plain; CJ won’t get out-coached. When CJ comes into the studio for their match, you can bet that they’ll be focused, prepared, and determined to win. And furthermore, they’re likely to have a beneficial match-up due to the line-up genius of Coach Cho. And crucially, he can put his ego aside to win:

▲... but because it was such an important match, (Z)EffOrt would definitely be affected negatively if I started raging.


In otherwords, Coach Cho, a total genius, could go out there and win all the matches himself, but he’s also a saint, and so he prefers to give the chance to other people.


***


Three: The Depth.
[image loading]
What lurks below the water... will eat you.

Every year, the debate over the deepest team in proleague beings again. Once again, CJ is the first name mentioned, and deservedly so, given its history. But I submit that this year the gulf is even greater than before.

It’s the stuff of CJ folklore that players get their CJ faces in threes. And this year, when we saw the fall of one CJ generation, we witnessed the growth of another, and the rise of a third. When filling out the line-ups, CJ has an embarrassment of capable players. CJ is tied with SKT1 for the most starleague finalists of any play-off bound team. (P)Movie and (T)sKyHigh are solid proleague veterans by now, and have delivered many times in key moments for CJ in the past. Meanwhile, (P)Snow and (Z)Hydra have both shown their potential to have manifested itself into actual skill in a series of impressive proleague appearances. And hey, there’s even (T)BByong who displayed just enough testosterone to fend off Reach in CJ’s last match, with a cool calm and collected defense against dts.

Many of CJ’s players have often unfairly been labeled as ‘snipers’. But those who propagate this lazy description aren’t telling the whole story. Absurd strength in one match-up is hardly a weakness, and in fact all of CJ’s players have shown the ability to win decisively in their “weak match-ups”. And when they play their best match-ups, they’re unbeatable. In the playoffs, we’re bound to see some sick Movie PvZ (best sair/reaver in BW), some excellent sKyHigh TvT, and some abuse-tastic PvT from Snow. But we’re just as likely to see those players take home a match in their other match-ups. In sum, CJ might be a team of godly snipers who know their match-ups like the back of their hands, but they can hold their own in hand-to-hand combat too.

Four: The General
[image loading]
I taught these guys everything they know.

Iris is an unlikely leader. Just one of three esteemed veterans on CJ last year, (T)Iris is now the only member of his generation of Entusmen left. And in his older, more wise years, he’s become CJ’s rock. His legendary consistency in games has translated into a measured attitude, and a keen sense of his own abilities and how they work for his team. In his most recent winner’s interview, Iris said;

- Now you have to begin preparing for the playoffs, and your role will be very important to the team.
▲ Because of my experience, my most important role will be to commit myself to easing nervousness within the team.


I’m excited to see Iris play in the playoffs, and have confidence that he can deliver. His recent form has been pretty solid, and while he’s been good in all match-ups as usual, his TvT has looked extremely potent. But moreso than his games, look for Iris to be a positive influence on the play of sKyHigh, Bbyong, and anyone else facing a terran player. In the OSL, for example, Iris was instrumental:

EffOrt:
▲ Iris, who has previous final stage experiences, helped me so well so much. He told me not to be burdened by anything. Thanks to him, I was able to set my mind correctly.


With Iris leading by example, CJ is in great hands.

Five: The Demons
[image loading]
Good riddance.

When the match--fixing scandal hit, everyone was affected. While CJ didn’t essentially lose their entire team, (Unlike poor Hite) they lost the spiritual heart of it, Ma Jae Yoon, the Dark Prince of Broodwar. But with the cancer purged from its system, CJ is resurgent. They rallied in the later part of the season to solidify their playoff spot, and they rallied behind EffOrt as he made his thrilling run to the OSL championship.

Whatever bad karma hindered us last time is gone, and CJ is unburdened to seek the championship. The curse of sAviOr has been thrown off for good.

So yesterday, to prepare myself for the playoffs, I went back and read the Live-Report for the second day of CJ v. Samsung Khan in last year’s playoffs. Needless to say, it was a fun afternoon. Reliving the epic comeback from EffOrt, Iris and Movie, and then the alien’s utter domination of Khan in two ace matches made me remember what it is to be a CJ fan. Being a CJ fan isn’t about tearing anyone down, or arguing bonjwas and slumps. Being a CJ fan is about being positive, about being supportive, and about always believing, no matter the situation. Against Oz in winners league, against Hite and Khan in the proleague playoffs, against Flash in the OSL, the faith of CJ fans has been rewarded. When CJ is playing, I expect the unexpected. I believe that CJ will give it everything they have, and I believe CJ will deliver in the end, and that wrong will be eclipsed by right. Being a CJ fan is not only hoping, but believing that CJ will win in the end. To that end, we cheer for out players throughout, and we never say never. With that kind of attitude, I believe we’re going all the way. Entusmen fighting!

Some Reading:

The End… Or the Beginning?

Quoth Hot_Bid:
Alas, it was not to be. But that does not mean this season was a failure. CJ Entus won two playoff matches, but more importantly, successfully transitioned to their next generation. Effort, Skyhigh, and Movie will all be here next season, with one more year of experience under their belts. Great run CJ. Keep fighting, and Watch the finals with hunger. Because next year, we're going all the way.

Phenomenal write-up! CJ going all the way this year! I'm actually really happy that MBC dropped to 4th. since taking out SKT1 in the first playoff round will be giving the team a huge confidence boost going into the rest of playoffs considering that SK's lineup is starting to get scary again.

CJ HWAITING!

You have a damn T1 banner. And no, I don't believe CJ will even make it out of the first round. Why? They're facing SKT, with a almost 100% Bisu who beat Jaedong two weeks ago.

I think CJ is the biggest threat to SKT

They can get:

SkyHigh>Fantasy
Snow>Bisu (current pvp)
Hydra>Best
Effort> hyuk, s2, etc.

But it can also go this way:

s2>skyhigh
Bisu> effort(maybe)/hydra/iris
Best>Iris/Snow/Skyhigh


Through high and low, bisu boy, through high and low.

Whoever wins out of CJ and SKT1 better crush Wemade/MBC's winner and then STX. It won't be a good finals otherwise.

CJ has a bit to prove to me before i can accept them again after mr. Ma, ik its not the entire teams mistake but i just cant stop thinking about it when i think of them hopefully they can prove me wrong so my conscience can rest easily with supporting CJ but atm with the return of bisu (minus PvP) im hoping for SKT to take it all again

also, imo whoever wins between skt and cj will win the whole thing

An almost 100% Bisu still has no chance against EffOrt. Maybe a 50% chance against movie with his crappy PvP..


ANYWAYS CJ FIGHTING!!~
