Preview: IPTL Playoff Round One -- EG v. LG-IM

The playoffs begin for the IPTL Season One Premier Division. The first round pits Evil Geniuses (EG) against Incredible Miracle (LG-IM). The favorite of the two must be LG-IM because of the sheer dominance the team has shown in recent matches. With a 3-0, 15-7 record, LG-IM has yet to be challenged in team matches. EG, on the other hand, come in with a 2-1, 11-12 record and every match in their season has been incredibly close.

Tale of the Tape:

EG (2-1, 11-12)

With a roster that includes notable names like PuMa and Revival, there is no lack of star power for EG. Despite the relatively closeness of every team match, EG does possess the wild card adaptability to beat any roster.

Jaedong -- The ace for the last EG team match, Jaedong may be needed to pull off an upset victory over Incredible Miracle. His amazing control should be on full display.

LG-IM (3-0, 15-7)

LG-IM is the absolute favorite in any match up their paired with. Their roster includes LosirA, YoDa, and ByuL. With aces and hard counters for any race/player, LG-IM can afford to play match ups.

YongHwa -- YongHwa should be considered an ace for LG-IM if it gets to this point. He's started and finished team matches before, and may be counted on to end this one early.
