After 5 gruelling challenges were SC2 teams around the globe battle it out for the ultimate prize of $1,000 Team ToR will be facing two of their toughest opponent yet; vVv and Pulse.
Team ToR is currently placed in equal 4th place tied with their next opponents vVv, both with the score of 2-3. ToR have been very impressive so far, recording wins against teams such as Pew and Ngs, however losing to Light, tmsk, and w4sp. Highly regarded as the group of death, many could be forgiven for thinking ToR did not stand a chance against high quality opponents, but going into the next two games underdogs, with every chance of reaching the Top 3 and making it through to the next round of the competition.
The Roster
Team ToR
DanO: Time of Rising’s ace player so far this season, might be given the start for ToR, but if not will most likely be called upon if things go pear-shaped due to his amazingly 77% win record in the Proleague, especially TvZ
Pox: Not been so successful as his teammate, but is still a strong foundation of Time of Rising’s roster and will still play a pivotal part in their hopes of making it further in the competition.
XzaM: The only other Time of Rising player at the moment to get any wins on the board, XzaM will be looking to better his 4-3 standing so far in this competition to help his new team over the line.
Pezz: Yet to be given a run in the team league, this might be the time to release the protoss powerhouse. With amazing control, Pezz will likely be a key feature in the battles ahead.
The Rest: ZooM and fur have yet to be given much of a run so far in the team league but will be looking to do their absolute best when given the chance. SkrawL will also be attempting to put some good results in and give Time of Rising more to cheer about.
The Opposition:
vVv have a strong roster, with most likely captain Glon and RuFF their biggest weapons. vVv also desperately need a win vs ToR to help their own chances of making the Top 3.
Pulse Esports are probably the second strongest team in the divison, with high quality players such as desRow, jEcho, and Maker on their roster. This will be the most difficult challenge for Time of Rising left.

It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Looking like a very tough final few games for Team ToR, but it is going to be a thoroughly enjoyable next couple of series
For both fixtures, we might be getting/trying to find a caster for both the events, which will wrap up the Team League season this weekend.
Matchday 1: Team ToR vs Pulse eSports: Saturday 21/10/12 12pm AEDT 2pm NZDT (I know it's really early for some)
Matchday 2: Team ToR vs vVv Gaming: Sunday 22/10/12 11am AEDT 1pm NZST
I am going to link the streams once we confirm that we can get a z33k approved caster for these events
But massive shoutout to Soonkyu for this awesome write up! Looking forward to additional ToR content and update in the near future, along with some more Team ToR related content ^^ (First step getting through the next exams!)

After Pezz took an impressive all kill vs vVv gaming, who advances from this group all depends on the final series vs Pulse eSports that takes place this Saturday 3pm NZDT and 1pm AEDT.
