I'm surprised that we're still not seeing any new players. Knowing how many B-teamers most KeSPA teams have, you'd think they would have had at least a couple of them spend a lot of time with the HoTS beta...
EffOrt vs Flying Jaedong vs Jaehoon aLive vs TY hyvaa vs FanTaSy (always good to see Fantasy play =D) Classic vs Bisu (GO BISUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) Last vs Rain BoguS vs Parting (looking forward for this one !!!!) JAEDONG vs FLASH .... Terran FTW ! Cure vs Soulkey should be good too Jaehoon vs ZerO .....
Going to be Awesome. GOGO SKT1 !!!!!!!! (I know a lot of SKT1 Matches ... but I couldn't stop it ^^)
INnoVation vs PartinG AND Flash vs JD??!?!?!?!??!!?!? OMFG!! Whis week is gonna be awesome! I'm a bit worried about EGTL's match vs Team 8. HerO, Zenio and JD are playing their (currently) weakest match-up. EGTL vs KT looks much better.
Poor JD gonna get crushed by flash. Also I'm not sure why Zenio is in the crucial 6th position. He is more of a starter guy who is a ZvZ sniper really. He should be able to beat Crazy, but that first match vs a terran is scary. Hero getting a decent draw in PvZ and PvP. As long as EGTL doest lose 0-4 to KT again then im happy.
EGTL got great matchups vs T8 except for Jaedong. With PvZ being more open and aggressive, I do think HerO and JYP will shine. Oz has great PvP and Alive is apparently a TvT beast.
I don't think JD can stand up to FLASH, but maybe coach Park will work his magic and come out with a super awesome timing that will murder flash. Thats basically what happen in Flash vs Life in MLG.

I think they're too far behind in map score to try to maximize their map differential at this point. They are just trying to get match wins, and avoid a tiebreak situation into the playoffs if possible.
I'm definitely trading alive away from my anti this round. Bugger got me -8 points, and he can definitely win his two games against Stats and Baby this round.

I think it might be because Coach Park is like, "If you can't practice all week for your SPL match(es), then you're not playing." Because Taeja has Code S tonight (and he could play this weekend, but I guess they don't want him to). That, and maybe his wrists.

I think his best MU is ZvZ then ZvT and finally ZvP. But HotS is a new game so it's possible that JD had a revelation and is finally being good against Protoss ... but I don't think so because Protoss looks freakin' Strong compared to Zerg right now.

I have no idea why you would have aLive for anti when you can find 13 points worth of players who don't even play on Week 1.
Not sure why everyone isn't as hyped for Innovation v PartinG. I know it's a big rivalry but Flash should have uite an edge. Innovation B PartinG on the other hand is goin to be siiiick.

Why am I not allowed to trade Jaedong with for example herO? More than half the players are greyed out. Whats the deal with that? o.O``
edit: seems like every single P and T is greyed out. Thats a pretty harsh balance statement, TL!
I had that same issue last night trying to get rid of Savage(ryul2), who is my only Zerg. I thought it was a browser issue or a bug at first.
Anyways, I"m looking forward to CJ's Hero making a comeback after going 0-3. I traded Jaedong for him since I like Hero's matchups and don't like Jaedong's.
Dark horse ALBM, gets fielded twice for Team 8 and 2-0'd both CJ_herO and SKT_Brown in the Code A qualifiers. Still couldn't make myself trade for him.

I could see him beating JYP but he probably wont beat Flying

Probably, but I've seen crazier things. Like a player who just race-switched beating a Code S player last week. I was there when Puma won a map.

You cannot deny math.
Jaedong <<< Flash Jaedong + Coach Park <<< Flash Therefore EG-TL wins because KT support cast cant win 2 games.
barking mad you are, this is coach park. crazier things have happened under his tutelage, i remember EG-TL actually winning two games
Coach Park impacts all the players except Flash, because he does not affect what cannot be affected. But EG-TL should pick up the win. KT is one a HUGE slide and EG-TL is gaining momentum. It's the tale of two teams.

I sure hope you are right about KT dominating but with how they have been playing lately it is looking unlikely, especially with the moral boost that EG-TL has now that they figured out how to win again.

Not to mention their pathetic showing in Code B. It was so bad no one should feel sad, and instead find it hilarious like those home videos of people getting hit in the crotch over and over and over
