How is it cheating the system? Both teams play by the same rules, KT just seems to have a better stratagy with who they send out what days and matches.
From a winning standpoint, I agree. But when your core audience is mainly hold-overs BW viewers, it's kind of lame. I think viewers would prefer watching a mediocre SC2 game and a good BW game from Stats, than an good SC2 game but horrible BW game from Lizzy/Acacia. |

im just correcting people who are commenting about "oh lizzy lost those goons there, etc etc, man he sucks" as giving reasons he sucks but in reality you should be saying "lizzy did some horrible all-in build almost similar to a 4pool in function. it means he knows he cannot play a real game competitively and thus he sucks"
How is it akin to 4 pool vs CC first? He could have easily stopped unit production and expanded. Instead he chose to engage a bunker with 2 siege tanks behind, no way he would have broken that. I guess he was just saving his energy for the ace match or something. Still pretty horrible decision making. |

Skyhigh looked pretty competent in the TvT he played.
Yeah Skyhigh looked good too, at least in TvT. He crushed Sea pretty badly.
Skyhigh looked worse than reality, sea played really really bad. |

You obviously did not see the Carriers during the first day
I didn't, what happened? I'd imagine the opponent must have done something wrong to lose to Carriers though
zerg didn't crush the protoss during toss ground army absence after scouting two port voidray / carrier follow up and let the toss go up to 3 bases with carriers. |

That's interesting actually. ACE could be a serious force in the next PL if a bunch of the current SC2 pros start military service. |

It's not actually cheating (hence the "essentially"), they're just using people that have probably played little to no BW ever, it just seems pretty cheap to me :/ |

for bw bo3, aim to get 2-0 so lizzy and acacia does not need to appear. week a: flash, action, lizzy week a+1: hoejja, stats, acacia
also throw in some crazy hydra (who, unlike hoejja and action, has good regular season numbers ^^) |

-.- don't judge bw pros on ACE, piano is terrible
Piano is probably 10x better than Acacia and Lizzy combined in BW though. |

I think he means that KT can rely on fresh blood that's playing SC2 full time, Ace can't do that  |

Oh, yeah. From a BW viewers standpoint I can see that. Obviously some of the games now are going to be complete shit so they can get those guys back to the SC2 side of things. |

They should have rotated the ACE match just like the players . |

As far as I know, the Kespa teams are a closed system for now... ACE will only take players from Kespa BW/SC2 teams. |

Reality is legit.
Yeah Reality was the only one who looked anywhere near decent.
Flash looked good imo, except he did let Effort massing drones unharrassed. But his play by itself looked fine to me. |

normally the zerg just GG's if the 4pool doesnt grant him a BO win
lizzy decided he could either attack with a 100% chance of failing and maybe a miracle would happen
or lizzy could pull back and play at a 100% extreme disadvantage in the macro game. same as a 4pool pulling back and trying to play normal after failing to win with the initial attack |
