Nice, he won today! :D I didn't watch because I don't think Virus is strong enough, I'm glad that even though his TvT is not up to par compared to his other match-ups, he is able to win convincingly against low/mid tier terrans.
Was definitely expecting jjakji to win today, but that looked almost too easy concidering a heavy build order loss and pushing out at the worst possible time in game 2.

While his TvT is undoubtedly weaker than his other matchups by a fair margin, i believe people blow it out of proportion a bit, his TvT isnt exactly weak. Nice to see him use mech for once though, i think that might prove to work better for him, atleast when playing TvT.
Nshs advances to losers final in the IPL TAC 2, jjakji defeating both oz and leenock with sage closing the series out, tomorrow they will play against ogs for a spot in the grand finals!
So he ended up winning his first match convincingly 3-0 over kas, next match against polt is about 2 weeks away though. Tomorrow NSHoseo is playing against IM in the gstl, its in the losers side of the bracket so they have to win to keep the hope of las vegas alive.
Fingers crossed that his good Team Arena form carries over to tomorrows match with IM. He can definitely beat anyone on their roster. Fingers crossed someone else on NSHS pulls a bit of weight too though.
Awesome play from seal today, and jjakji for closing it out. Im still kinda worried for their match against startale next weekend. Teams with solid terran player have been a weak point for them for a long time.

Tough draw, certainly doable though =)
If i read the announcement right, he is playing against taeja in first round right? if so that is a terrible draw for him, taeja has become a demon of sorts for jjakji.
GSTL group b lower bracket finals live in about 1 hour and 30 minutes from now, NSHoseo vs startale.Getting really nervous, i really want them to make it to vegas! they only need to win 2 more matches to make it :>
I think if jjakji plays the kind of mech style that i have seen on a few occasions lately in TvT, then they can easily take out bomber, combined with seal's awesome ZvT ofc.
So apparently jjakji's match against polt in the IPL ToC is being broadcasted tonight, their schedule never really seem to be out that far beforehand, eighter way gogo jjakji, would be awesome if he made it to ipl4. If he does win he will play against thorzain, which i think is quite heavily in jjakji's favor, and winning that match would put him in winners final, but Polt is the real bump in the road for now though.
Edit: Jjakji beats polt 3-1 and moves on to winners semi against thorzain! Relentless aggression by jjakji with 3 of the games being 1 base plays, polt just didnt seem to get the hang of it.
