Nestea makes the semis for iron squid again.
If they can put together a good GSTL run or two they're going to have it made this year.

Yoda and First qualified for IEM as well ^^

First should do okay in his group based on who's in there so far. I really don't like Yoda's chances vs the zergs in his group and I am also angry at him for beating Losira in the qualifiers ( Yes I have favorites even with my favorite team). Still I hope they both do well for their sake and for the glory of IM.

I'm really happy that IM isn't losing any players. I feel like they won't too. Mvp and NesTea are too loyal and making a good salary on IM while their other players are not really famous enough to demand significantly more than what they're currently making.

Oh yeah and First or Yoda will win IEM, if they can defeat Parting that is. Nestea proved it was possible though!

Speaking of Nestea, I'm really surprised and happy that he has done so well in Iron Squid, seems like he's back to a good form.

Please add the 2nd place at GSL Season 4 2012 Code S under Mvp's achievements. I think 2nd place GSL is worthy of his long list of achievements, even if it was only a silver (and by only 1 game too).

And there's 2 more players for each group determined by the open bracket. If you ask me that makes the groups easier for our boys as the open bracket doesn't look particularly formidable.

A few small things:

Under Mvp's accomplishments, Mvp took 2nd place in the GeForce Pro/Am (losing to MMA in the finals), not 1st place.
Also, 3rd place at the NVIDIA Gaming Festival 2012 should be added.

By the way, sign me up please.

Both Yoda and First performing well at IEM so far ^-^. There's a chance that they could meet in the finals which would be amusing although I'm not sure who I'd want to win then.

Fenix, First, MVP, Nestea, Yongwha and Seed have all won live tournaments. And 14 IM members have played at live events so not quite, but if one more does... I'm looking at you losira!!!

Ladyumbra is right! Code a should count, Losira did win that so yeah half have won. As about Hong Duk, I have never seen him either.

Pretty much, IM has 14-15 active players right now depending on if you count hong duk who I don't think we've ever seen play but who has been mentioned before. They have seven players who've won tournaments ranging from code a back when that counted, code s, two different IEM's, an mlg, EWM ( korean weekly cups), wcg korea , etc etc. Approximately half the team has won some tournament or another at this point. ^-^ IM has a lot of talent

edit: You can also say they haven't quite made it there if you go by lupert's reasoning as well. Regardless they are still impressive as a team and Losira needs to fucking win something big .

IM too godlike, so glad that First won, he just needs to recreate his skill at foreign LANs in the GSL booth.

Beautiful display of skill by First. Starting with the Korean Qualifier...

First 2-0 Shuttle
First 2-0 HogU
First 2-0 Killer
First 2-1 Dream
First 2-1 Golden
First 2-0 VortiX
First 2-0 Kas
First 2-0 Daisy
First 2-0 ParanOid
First 3-0 TLO
First 3-0 Socke
First 3-1 Dream

He is 12-0 (100.0%) in sets and 27-3 (90.0%) in maps. That is an absolutely dominating record for First.

IM is going to need a separate house for all their trophies and giant novelty checks.

I'm sad we didn't get a Yoda vs First finals but proud of both of them for their performances. Amused by seed's LG-IEM comment on twitter. They've now won it with a terran and a protoss, they need a zerg to take one eventually. With Mvp, Yonghwa and First at the Iem world championships Im should have good representation there.
