I think TSL is definitely favored, but I could see Reign taking this as they have played very well in these conditions, and even pushed FXO to the brink in the NASL TeamLeague (different format though). Considering the recent loss of key players and the drama with TSL, there is a solid chance for Reign to win this.



Polt is of course the main threat to Reign, with his strong TvP against a Protoss heavy team. Team Slayers, Axiom-Acer and Vile forever

Polt will be the biggest problem for Reign. Still, with it being Bo1, anything is possible. Polt will be the biggest problem for Reign. Still, with it being Bo1, anything is possible. Team Slayers, Axiom-Acer and Vile forever

Do they send Artist as their ace or as their middle-man? Artist could sweep the TSL zergs if he is on his tip-top game, but if he is upset by Heart or Cyrano then Inori is going to have to beat Polt. Writer Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen.

It all depends on how the series progress. I believe that it would be best to send out a guy like slush, tricky, unorthodox, but not the team's big guns. The team's chances are not badly hurt if he loses, but he is still good enough to take games. You try to draw out tsl's major players, ideally polt. Of course I'm not affiliated with reign, nor am I privy to the inside workings of either team, but I feel reign should try to snipe down tsl, since reign lacks the strong all around player capable of killing sprees, while tsl lacks a deep roster (relative to the other Korean teams of course) and will likely be heavily reliant on polt.

The main problem with sniping is that Reign doesn't have a deep roster either. You can afford to snipe if you have a big roster like oGs or Startale.

Artist can definitely beat HyuN, Symbol, or RevivaL. His TvZ is ridiculously good (number 1 vZ International ELO at the moment) and he's only lost 4 of hist last 40 TvZs. I don't know if he could beat all three of them, because that would be asking a lot from any Terran, but if there's anybody on ReIGN who possibly could, it would definitely be Artist.



Polt is definitely going to be the biggest challenge for ReIGN. But maybe KiWiKaKi can pull out a win over Polt. He beat GuMiho the other day in the NASTL with a crazy 8 gate all-in build. If KiWi pulls out one of his ridiculous builds and Polt doesn't scout it, KiWi could definitely win a Bo1 over him.



Frankly, I think that this game is going to be a lot closer than people are calling it. I think that people are underestimating Artist. Artist can definitely beat HyuN, Symbol, or RevivaL.

Heart isn't on TSL, nobody actually knows how good Cyrano is, and I doubt that anybody on ReIGN could beat Polt in a straight up game, even Artist. Heart isn't on TSL, nobody actually knows how good Cyrano is, and I doubt that anybody on ReIGN could beat Polt in a straight up game, even Artist.
