You're still using the old MVP logo, you should update it.

Also, gogo TSL.

It's not as quite as nice as the other ones (that I've been using thanks to VirgilSC2), but it's pretty good. =P

Oh wow IPL it's so nice of you to put on a show match between dongraegu and symbol but why is it BO1 and why does the winner have to play those other players....

I think that TSL has the slight edge in terms of quality in terms of roster, but both are very similar in some aspects. A Zerg team ace (DRG and Symbol), a strong Terran (Polt and Keen), decent Protosses (Inori and finale/Vampire) and a slew of Zergs who make an impression (the likes of Shine, HyuN, Sniper and Monster). I think the keystone to both teams are around the Zerg team aces, but the supporting cast is honestly strong enough to evenly match them. Still, I think TSL can beat MvP 5-3 or 5-4.

Feel free to use the one that I've been using

I made sure to use something that looked as clean and clear as Virgil's, since I use his team icons for GSTL and other stuff

Rooting for TSL. Hopefully we'll get to see Polt and Symbol smash some MvP players ^^

6pool seems to be becoming almost standard for entombed ZvP. I feel like this is the third or fourth time i've seen it in the last two weeks in tournament games O_o

Entombed seems to be considered a good protoss map and it's hard to get a full wall off at the natural so it seems like a reasonable decision. I wonder how it will pan out if gateway expansions come back into the game though.

Yea I think we'll definitely start seeing gateway expand a little more often on this map. zerg is pretty much assuming that the protoss is going for FFE and they always end up ahead after 6pooling as long as they dont do something stupid like Moon in the GSTL where they try to baneling bust after 6 pool after being scouted

I'm noticing an alarming trend with Vampire - he's so desperate to deny overlord scouting that he puts his sentries way out of position. Did it the other day in the GSL too - seems like he does this often and could be used against him.
