Starters?
They don't release them so people don't go looking at match histories and spoiling results.

On paper this looks like a clear win fpr AtnType, but tbh I think it will be a really close match. DTG seemed to do well in the qualifiers and Alternate always disappoints in team leagues...

Go go DTG, you can do it! :D

1. I don't think that is BW Nal rA.
2. When the Hell did aTn and Type form an alliance? I really don't remember this being on the front page of TL or r/starcraft or anyone talking about it anyway.

Wonder if this was played before the D3 release if it was after i doubt Darkforce played ^^

GGanDoL allkill please :D
edit: whoops randomly quoted something
Probably going to be 5-3 aTn/Type

I'm guessing DTG is a smaller European team? I've never heard of a single one of their players... :o.
Maybe the equivalent of a team like ItsGosu on NA? Although I feel like EU players still know a majority of them, hm....

On other note: Alternate/Type fighting!

They are a Korean team, and they are REALLY good... I don't know where they practice or if they practice together, but from my experiences with DTG they are so damn good... Not sure if they are pros just smurfing for fun, but they are really good. Nalra is one of note, and GGanDoL as well I believe.

Okay, Sickness is a Korean protoss who was extremely hyped at one point, because he showed great illussion usage (like ImSeed) and, in the late game against terran, would cannon up key locations of the map in order to prevent his opponents bio from roaming freely.
GGanDoL is the player who got a buy till the very last round of Code A qualifiers and only had to beat Cella in a bo3 to advance to Code A, which he did. And he got so many buys while other players in his bracket (notably Cella and Jinro) had to play pretty much from the very first round or two.

GGanDoL did play pretty well against B4 in code A though so he shouldn't be laughed off.

Atn is pretty bad ( really overrated in my opinion) but they're not as bad as DTG so they should win this.

I believe they only joined forces for this tournament because Alternate has too few players for a bo9.

Yeah only 4. I hope they will eventually pick up one or two more

Go dtG! Nobody believes, but you can do it!
FYI dtG beat aTn-Type in the qualifiers. They definitely deserve more love!
