Shouldn't it be "stay up to date with IPL6?"

EDIT: For more clarification, the very last sentence where it lists the social media it says IPL5 instead of 6. Which doing a bit of research has been on at least two other OPs. I'm surprised no one has caught it before (or have and never mentioned it)

Snute isn't under the roster for TL

Aside from Snute not being on TL, I believe DongRaeGu's correct name in team leagues should be StompRaeGu, but everything else looks in order! :D

Calling it now: the return of Taeja.

Taeja 5-0.

If only. I hope the boys in blue manage three wins and HerO shows how good he is. Maybe PL did him good.

teamliquidpro article:

We won't be playing with TaeJa in this match to help his recovery, but Snute is available [...]

TL needs to win 5-1 or better, about that..

It's so hard to get excited for WOL games anymore.

Good luck Liquid but I think MVP will take this without Taeja.

TL has to win 5-1 or 5-0 to qualify and they send TLO as first player ? What ?

Many teams give their players chances to prove themselves in events like this. That and maybe they have more faith in TLO since they actually know his play intimately.

That being said. GOGOGOGO TAiLS :D !!!

So TLO can lose, but whoever is no.2 cannot.

Yeah, TL is throwing this. Not sending HerO followed by Taeja is foolish, even with Taeja's injury problems he was good enough to get through GSL.

They're not sending in Taeja not because they think that he won't be able to perform, but because they don't want him to exert himself when he's injured since Code S >>> online team league.
