Wolf and Kaldor are so stupid, he canceled his upgrade and got a sentry first when he scouted no fast 3rd from a zerg.

Freaky has got to be the best player to debut in GSTL this year. I love team leagues.

This is such a high level PvZ.

Yup. Then laid down 100 Infested Terrans and fungal them to keep them clumped as they pop out and let the infested terrans kill them.

Freaky just qualified for Code A as well.

Not really, Crank is weak vs Terran and in winner's league format you never want a player to get too much momentum.

jjakji has lost almost all of his recent games, so it's more like he shouldn't be coming out at all.

Yeah I didn't realise Crank's bad PvT before I posted that.

He didn't have a good day in the up and downs that is for sure.

Go Zenex. They found THE THING and will unleash it for this match. All-kill incoming for Line or Harrier.

Avenge is up first, but he's a pretty great protoss.

TL apparently does not have Taeja atm, must be still traveling. So they just have 5 players :/

Doesn't matter. After that they have both Mentalist and TREME, both are great protosses as well. I honestly don't think TL has much of a chance, especially without Taeja.

If everyone was there, they'd have 9 players, but I think only Taeja is joining them for GSTL.

Tsl had small lineups too, but tl is smaller

Yup.

When Taeja comes back, they'll be tied with F-United for the smallest squad, unless you count the coach . . . in which case TL would still be the smallest.

EDIT: Well, that seemed like super greedy play by Zenio. 3rd base with no units, no upgrades and teching straight to Infestors . . .

Zenio went for the "build no units or spine crawlers" strategy. Even if he had all the infestors out in time he still can't kill +1 roaches with infestor/ling. -.-
