MVP vs. Karont3 IPTL match just started! Tune into http://www.twitch.tv/ignproleague IPTL is really important because the two finalists get 6 of their players sent to IPL6!!
I am currently making a new one for the upcoming GSTL. It's very complex and time consuming, but I'm pacing myself on the video intro of one member/day. Seeing that there's 13 people on team DRG, it'll take me two weeks. I'm done with keen, dream and lure, ...10 more to go... :D
Did he also say why his team wasn't able to beat New Star Hoseo?

In the first real Hots season, I expect great things from MVP. They have so many good players. At first, I only knew Genius (back then) and Keen. Then Dongraegu came out to carry the team. Now MVP still has Dongraegu and Keen, but also Sniper. And Monster. And Killer. And Shine. And Tails (I still remember him killing MvP and Nestea!!) While not as big, Noblesse and Vampire are also strong players. And Lure, Finale, Dream.
MVP not only has two GSL champions, they essentially only have known names on their team. While their zerg line-up is the deepest, they also have a diverse roster of terrans and protoss to send out in teamleagues.

yes. he considers the preseason just a showmatch, so didn't take it seriously.
If you think about it, team MVP really doesn't want to come to the studio another 3 or 4 times. It takes away from their practice and training...and for what? $3000 dollars? That's chump change.
Also consider that they would be revealing all their hots build before the real season, or new GSL. They don't want that. Team MVP's after the big fish. They'll be back when the season start, strong.
Little late on this but thank you TommyP and neoghaleon55 for your hard work on this fanclub. By far the best looking fanclub OP I've seen. Team MVP will win the next real GSTL.
After seeing Lure play earlier today, I think it sucks that he doesn't have a fan club - he's definetly someone to look out for. Tommy and neo - you're the greatest MVP fans; do you want to make that fan club or am I allowed to? ^^
Hey guys. Killer and Keen are playing in Code A today. Killer against soO and Keen against Rain. The broadcast just started (Killer is 2nd match, Keen is 4th)

Some of those are unexpected tbh. I expected more Protoss players to be sent. I think all of those players have played overseas already as well yes? Keen the only one I'm unsure on.

I could see where you're coming from but I think the choices are still top players. But yea I could see any of finale, Lure, or Vampire being picked instead of some of the other guys. The only code B players are Dream (really good and unlucky Code A matchup), Monster (who did a lot to get the invites), and TAiLS, right? And TAiLS is pretty good, too.
I'm surprised no Lure given how well he's done winning that Chinese event and making the final round of Code A only to lose 1-2 to DRG but still sick line up. I'm guessing they chose Killer over Tails since he's the captain and is playing well lately as well?

Oh I meant also in regards to the team league finals. I mean Dream, Keen, Noblesse brings 3 terrans to the table and I would have expected they would bring 3 protoss 2 terran instead of the other way around.

I can see why people went LG-IM because they have the deepest roster right now, but in my opinion, MVP has the 2nd deepest roster and is the best chance to knock off IM from winning this GSTL.
Sending out DRG with his record vs. Terran wasn't very smart, Sniper/Super would've been a much better choice. Still hoping that MVP wins this, but right now it's IM's final to lose.

I think that's PRIME, haven't heard about MVP, only something about their LoL team (maybe) being sold to Khan, or some shit like that
i've read a interview with the MVP coach who said that it wouldn't happen, but then again we saw how we could trust the STX Soul coach regarding "We won't dispand caus we won proleauge"

Fixtures will be announced as we get em, we essentially use a Google calender that has all the teams invited to it and they can tag a fixture as yes/no for their team, then we pick the two teams from the list of availables and give them the map pool. Fairly efficient system, as long as teams remember to check the calendar (I'm looking at you MVP and Millenium)
Neo, I know you have contact with the team, any way you can mention this to them? I'd hate to miss out on MVP in this sweet team league.

This is excellent, aLive may not be well recognized for anything but he is an excellent player and adds a lot of depth to the team. He is, theoretically, a Terran ace to give DRG and super some real support.

I'm glad they got someone who's really interesting and has a good stage personality.
If you have an open mind, you will actually see his personality. He was becoming more vocal and personable during his time on EG. Hopefully this trend will continue
Q.This is the first winner interview you've had this season. I won today so I'm feeling really good. The coach naturally thought i would win so I wasn't very worried. Until now I've had 5 wins but it seems that Super always wins so stylishly so I don't get to have an interview (Laughs).
Q. You were able to win over Yonghwa. When Yonghwa had the advantage you looked like you were cornered at your base. I understood the situation well. In TvP if Protoss gets a critical mass of units it can suddenly be very difficult to retreat. So I was at a bit of a disadvantage, so the only thing I could do was fight.
Q.In addition to safely defending your expansion you had a chance of victory. I wasn't convinced that I could win but first I had to fight. There was a chance I'd lose. Honestly it seemed liked neither of us microed very well.
Q. In the second round MVP drastically improved. In the third round you've had 2 losses and a win. We've been practicing hard. It's just bad luck. But we've been able to rescue the situation through our efforts. Compared to the other teams we have a more relaxed attitude to winning so we don't get as many injuries or become frustrated when training.
Q. I've head from the other players that you're really good. But you still haven't had results that amaze. In the practice room i personally feel i'm doing well. But in a live setting even if I see something I can't react well. I've been practicing hard so next GSL I can do well.
Q. Alive has recently joined MVP, does he give you much advice? I've received a lot of help from Alive. Life in the MVP house was not very interesting but now it ended up being fun (laughs).
Q. You've got 5 wins so far. Going forward what results do you want to achieve? I want to drag my winrate up to 60%. I don't really know what to say in a winners interview. Honestly Super knows how to do an interview (laughs). I ended up doing the interview so I'm feeling good.
