Ah well, apart from TLO vs Gumiho every series still seems possible for Liquid, we have a fighting chance.
Having to play without one of their aces has to have been a huge thing for liquid. If they win this it will be even more impressive. If TLO can pull another upset against a code S terran (he took games off of MKP and Polt recently) he'll not only be a hero but also probably give himself some beard points.
Why doesnt jinro get more chances in teamleauges and TL is favoring TLO over him? I was watching him couple of times in EWM and he looked pretty solid to me. Just wondering if anyone has any idea or inside info. Hope liquid takes this, but fxo will be hugely favored here.
Wow, this looks intense. All the matchups look like ones that could really go either way, although with Best of 3 format for each matchup, it's hard to pick TLO over GuMiHo. I mean, Dario can take a game off anyone, but GuMiHo is really solid and I'm not yet convinced TLO has fully recovered.
Slight advantage FXO, but the boys in blue have a really solid chance.

I will not pretend to know the inside workings of TL, nor the motivations behind determining a lineup. However, TLO's strength lies in his unpredictibility.
No one on Liquid really has a strong chance against Gumiho, so why not send out TLO on the off chance that he catches Gumiho off guard with something unorthodox?
Doh, TLpro hasnt tweeted about this event yet.. You can usually tell if EG is going to win a pre-played event by them tweeting about it or not before it starts, lol
Hope TL doesn't do the same - TLPro usually tweets about the event exactly 30 minutes before it happens.. Im such a nerd for noticing these things, lol - I guess I just _want_ to be spoiled

Most likely the same reason as Huk/Naniwa, cross-server lag.
