Arkanoid is basically Thorzain's map. Matchup probably ha nothing to do with it

Yeah but a zerg on Arkanoid is still a zerg. When you can take Taeja to the final game of a Bo5 and beat Naniwa in his Code S prime without ever expanding off 3 bases with just a group of ghosts despite being behind the whole game, you play in those matches! Not matches you lose to Vortix
Maybe the next infestor nerf will make a difference.

Got to say, I didn't expect. Glad that Revival was on my FPL, but was screwed at the same time because of Fantasy losing. Despite that, I'm happy that JYP got two wins! I need to make sure to checkout the games later.
|
so much for JYP being bad against terran and good against zerg, lol.
|
Gotta say I agree on it being weird Thorzain keeps getting sent out on arkanoid.

well done, noname-eg-zerg

Both are extremely capable snipers. Idra used to be used as a sniper, has taken games off Flash, Roro and Rain, Demuslim's top 8 at NASL is no mean feat, and he has sniped players like Creator in team leagues before. They're certainly no different in skill to a player like Zenio. I dont think you understand what sniper means,lol. Snipers highly prepare for one specific plsyer to take out, usually bc of a matchup specialty or special build order. I dont really see how idra fits either of those roles. The fact that hes aken a game off a player does not mean that hes a specialist against them. Idras more of a generally well rounded and macro reactive player, so i dont see him preparing some wonky build ordertosnipe anyone either. He will probably grt a couple of games in the standard proleague format, but demu or idra in winners league format is unlikelygiven only 4 players around and the number of otherplayers the unholy alliance has.
Also, previous person saying notl players is delusional. Taeja is invaluable.

jyp demolished my anti team
congrats to EGTL tho.
|
Quick question about proleague: what do captains mean? I noticed that the Captain of EGTL was Puma. Do captains have any specific roles? It clearly isn't the best player on the team(as Rain isn't the captain of SKT1), so is there a different benefit toward it?
|
My two favorite teams... happy to see EG-TL doing well, although SKT won't be catching up to KT now v.v

Really good first game by JYP actually, and thanks to Revival for closing it out for my FPL team!

Yes! I'm glad that Revival was able to close that one out. Also, I agree with everyone else saying that it's weird that Thor is being played on Arkanoid so much. I'm not really sure of the reason.

WTF- Why doesnt the creator of this thread make it so anyone could follow SPL and have a life at the same time >Work I mean when the matches is live. Its impossible to follow the Vod links on the first page because he was to lazy to make them.
The TwitchTV links tell you who won the matches?? Its really annoing that TwitchTV doesnt just tell me wich one of the matches I see, not who is playing them.
[SPL] Rain (P) [SKT] vs Revival (Z) [EG-TL] 6SET / Antiga Shipyard (01.08)
What is the reason to show us the players name, I want spoiler free links....

Relax, cpt. entitlement, I'm sure the OP will be updated and will be brought to you along with your Kobe and Champagne shortly

Only Terran left on SKT was JyJ lol... no way they were ever gonna play him, and if you were to save him for P it would've been against Rain...

Woo hop jyp! Glad he beat two terrans after his struggles against them. Will have to watch these vods after work!
|
JYP 30% win rate vs Terran and beats Fantasy and then another Terran, really? He's on my anti ~_~

Arkanoid is always a terran map. He prepared for that map and he chose that map. Not sure what all of your are whining about.
Oh yeah,,,,,the coach...he wanted Thorzain to lose all his games so he chose a map that Thorzain hates...blah blah blah.
Thorzain just doesn't have the skill to compete, that's all. Stop whining after the game is finished. Why didn't I hear about all this whining before he lost?
