Actually I expect MVP to win, I think they are stronger than Startale since they lost Parting and Squirtle.

Another finals vs them would be a lot of fun though, also, awkward if squirtle plays.

IM's player retention rate is amazing, so much talent and yet all their players seem content to stay put.

I hope Nestea goes to IPL 6, I know he hates traveling but he also seems to love how passionate foreign fans are. Plus he got 3rd in iron quid again so clearly he should get 3rd at IPL again if he goes lol.

I think IM is well set up to win the IPTL assuming their players aren't spread out with tournaments all over the place.

Yeah, until recently, with Byul, Ragnorak, Ruin, and Squirtle, they went a really long time with just picking up first and losing practically no one.

So far LG-IM is tearing the IEM SC2 tourney a new one. 3/4 took first in their groups: Yonghwa, Yoda and MVP. Ironically the only IM player not to be first in his group was in fact First. He got 3rd. That means we already have 3 IM players in the top 8 and another in the top 12.

Fun fact, LG-IM is 5 series away from having a LG-IM top 4 clean sweep.

The fairly good chance of an IM semi is making me hard :o

Dream stands the greatest chance of ruining the fun. Yonghwa and MVP should eat whatever crawls up to the ro8 and I think Yoda is ready for PartinG or Stephano as well.

And the scary part is that they still have Nestea, Seed, Squirtle, ByuL, LosirA, Happy back at home. And Ragnarok and Ruin showing promise.

I am hoping for the best for everyone but especially Yonghwa.

Is it wrong that I'm kinda happy that IPL 6 got cancelled. The fact that no one on IM has to practice Wol anymore for any reason seems better than the team being split into the hots squad and the guys practising for IPTL and IPL

Wow, It is possible to see all IM players in semifinals hope that will happen

! It is hard to root for one player at this tournament because I'm big fan of every IM player...

Amazing how well LG-IM seem to have prepared for HotS... First and YongHwa looked unstoppable, YoDa looked great and Mvp... looks like he has been revitalised by HotS.

2/4 so far in the IEM Semi Finals. Hopefully it will be 4/4 tomorrow then they will own this tournament.
