This place needs to be updated more often, especially since several of their players still don't have fanclubs. Anyways team IM is looking pretty good right now. I'm hoping we'll soon get to see a lot more of their lesser exposed players get a chance to play overseas. I'd love to see them let players like Seed, Yoda and YongHwa loose on an MLG open bracket. Here's to hoping for continued success for these guys as individuals and a team ^-^. | ||

GSTL starts soon and I may try a small hype thread about that if I can get something whipped up in time. Would be lovely! DAMN 4 players in Code S, that is indeed awesome. No Fenix left korea. | ||

Speaking of code A I'm hoping to see at least Yoda and YongHwa make it through the qualifiers this weekend assuming they applied. | ||

( title) [GSTL Hype] I believe in Incredible Miracles ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/abiaE.jpg) It's GSTL season again my friends and this time LG-IM-SK will be the ones holding the trophy at the end. Alphabet soup name aside things are looking good for the original GSTL winners and their plus one. Why I believe Incredible Miracle is no stranger to getting team league results. 2011 GSTL 1: 1st Going 13:6 in maps overall. GSTL 2: 2nd Going 12: 6 in maps overall. Partnered with Quantic at the time they were the Champions of the first ever IPL team arena challenge and IM players contributed 15 of the teams eventual 20 map wins. IM has proven in the past that they know how to wield their team's roster in a such a way as to secure victory. "Winners win" as the saying goes and IM know how to be winners. MC for his part delivered a fair number of wins for oGs during his time with them. In addition to this LG-IM-SK has 5 players in code S and 4 in code A. From relative new comers like First to old hats like MVP the team is firing on all cylinders and their momentum is undeniable. The Miracle workers ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/thumb/4/47/YongHwaGSTL.jpg/192px-YongHwaGSTL.jpg) YongHwa has long been "that guy", the one who can't make it into code A to save his life but who brings it home in the team leagues. A good all rounder YongHwa seems to be comfortable no matter where in the lineup IM places him and currently sits at a record of 22-12 in team leagues for them. A solid protoss with a bag of tricks hidden up each sleeve, we're bound to see some entertaining games from YongHwa this season. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hBlKJ.png) Losira is a code A winner, code S runner up and an all killer of Zenex and NSHS. The famous catzerg is a damn good teamleaguer and one of IM's most reliable players. Losira is usually played later in a series either as a vZ sniper or because it's time to bring out the big guns and his 18-8 record shows he rarely disappoints. A more aggressive zerg than his mentor Nestea, Losira is not afraid to take the fight to the enemy and that usually means some banelings right in your face. Drop play, nydus play, macro or cheese, Losira can do everything, all the while grinning like the Cheshire cat. Should he feel like it Losira may also grace us with a ceremony be it in game or outside the booth. He can be adorably BM when he wishes although that has gotten him into trouble before. While he can hold his own in individual leagues Losira is a staple of IM's team league roster because he's equally solid and dependable there. ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/4/45/Yoda.jpg) Yoda is yet another of IM's players who can pull out the all kill and isn't afraid to be aggressive and creative. With a 22:13 record he's the team's most dependable Terran. Some may not approve of his tendency to play risky or all-in but it gets the job done and that's what counts. Like YongHwa, Yoda fits into the lineup just about anywhere. ![[image loading]](http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/images2/f/fa/HappyFishuu.jpg) Rounding out the regulars is Happy. A fairly solid Terran he is often referred to as mini MVP. Of the four horsemen on IM's regular lineup he has the worst record at a mere 16:14. Nevertheless Happy sees frequent play and rarely goes out before taking someone down with him. Happy has great TvZ just like his mentor and adds to the teams ability to snipe zergs with relative ease. Lately though Happy has been turning even his worst matchup vT into something thats no sweat. Slayers own TvT sniper Ryung fell to him in last season's code A and endangered elephant fOrGG was dispatched quickly thereafter. As Khaldor recently learned you can never count this former code s semi-finalist out. When put in tight spots Happy stays calm under pressure, lulling you into a false sense of security before almost inexplicably reversing the situation. A player who doesn't hesitate to capitalize on his opponents flaws Happy is stronger than his record shows. Never doubt the heart of a champion ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Vr7oA.jpg) MVP Over 300k in winnings, 4 Code S titles, champion of WCG, MLG Anaheim and Blizzcon, MVP is the most highly skilled and successful player to date. While his body continues to try and fail him MVP remains strong, always finding ways to push through and win when it really counts. MVP can get the job done if he's fielded and sheer intimidation factor is likely to help against anyone he faces. MVP has more builds and tiny variations there of than any player bar MKP and facing him is incredibly difficult. Few players have proven they have the skill to pick apart his brain, fewer still can do it on the fly. Good builds and great decision making will be MVP's key strengths this season and with them we will see just how much of his old unstoppable self can be brought to bare. Nestea Nestea is the only player to have never missed the start of a code S season, he has been in the GSL since the very beginning and refused to falter like so many others have in the past. A 3 time code S champion he is also one of those players who understands how to eke out little advantages and turn them into dominating victories. Nestea's greatest weapon is his mind, he is incredibly good at reading his opponents, at using mindgames and choosing the best build or strategy for a given situation. Most players would never use mass contaminate to halt production in a ZvZ and turn a losing battle in their favor. Most players would never come up with rushing lair so they could creep drop and plant spines to kill a FFE. Nestea wins unwinnable baseraces with a handful of mutas and burrowed banes. He sees something others simply cannot and his consistency is due in equal parts to his physical ability to perform insane tasks and his mind's ability to process everything that must be done for his plans to work. Nestea is a smart and solid* Zerg and he knows it, as do his opponents which like MVP gives him an intimidation factor. Given that he's been doing rather well lately with third places at both IPL4 and Iron squid I'd say any appearances by Nestea should give his opponents serious cause for concern. * Zergbong moments don't count as those appear to be some sort of uncontrollable supernatural phenomenon to balance out how unfairly awesome Nestea is. MC The boss toss is back! Fresh off his first American tournament victory and looking good SK.MC is going to be the one to beat. Like his brethren above MC is a multi time code s champion. A man who could likely plaster his apartment walls with giant checks is not one to be underestimated. MC is one of those players dangerous because they are the complete package. In a long macro game he can multitask with the best of them, attacking from multiple fronts while harassing with warprisms and forcing his opponents into making fatal mistakes. He can also all-in like pro and ignores any flak he gets for doing so because a win is a win. It has been said that MC has an eye for the weaknesses of others and that he simply knows when to strike. In addition to that MC cannot simply be mimicked, the protoss president has stellar control that allows him to pull off risky builds which would be suicide for a lesser player. MC will be looking for weaknesses every time he enters the booth in the GSTL and there is no such thing as a flawless person. Not to be forgotten IM has a large stable of players that may or may not get seen this GSTL season. Seed is back in code S for the second season in a row and looks to show his skill both there and in the GSTL. having recently defeated MVP's Finale, Keen. Sniper and Monster in the KSL there's no doubt that Seed is one to watch should Coach Kang feel the need to use him. True & Horror are IM's lesser known zergs which is unfortunate as they usually put up solid performances when called upon. Ready, First and Dreamertt as well are all going to be sitting on the bench eagerly awaiting their chance to shine. Each has contributed a few wins in the past during one team league or another and are decent players in their own right. They lack the consistency and notoriety of those featured above but there's no time like the present to change that. With so many strong players vying for air time you can be assured that when the coach chooses to field one of these guys it's because they are more than prepared to show why they deserve to be the one defending their team's honor. One last thing ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ul2dt.jpg) No team is complete without a coach. Kang Dong Hoon's decsions may not always be what fans would like but he knows his players better than we do. Coach Kang was responsible for leading IM to victory in the past and he can do it again. With IM having just gained a big new sponser in LG and being partnered with SK a lot is on the line right now. I think we will see very carefully crafted lineups this season with every player's full potential being utilized. Somewhere in Coach Kang's mind is the key to victory, we need only have faith that he will choose to use it. LG-IM-SK is a team with a lot of talent, a lot of depth and an unprecedented amount of star power at it's disposal. With all they have going for them victory in the upcoming GSTL is assured! * Pictures belong to original sources * Records include GSTL, IPL TAC and KSL | ||

Also you should mention Seed in his own section. He is now the second season in a row in Code S I believe. The lineup of IM is very deep and the team has been together for over a year now. They have more experience in playing together than most other teams. In GSL Season 3 there are more players in Code A / S than ever before as far as I know, the team is on the rise. You could mention that First is a former successful BW pro who recently switched and already put up results in the KSL for IM. WINNERS GONNA WIN | ||

I originally had Seed as a miracle worker but he actually has a lot less playtime than the others. I do think he's awesome I'm just not sure what to say about him. If I could find the right words everyone would have a few sentences since they are all integral to the success IM has had. | ||
