I dont see how DRG is favoured to topple IM despite his previous gstl performances.

MVP and Nestea have the best versus zerg in the world. Hell im pretty sure losira is favoured over DRG in ZvZ, let alone Nesteas 92% winrate.

BW Proleague does that some years, its fun, bo7s over several days.

Fixed the Bomber stuff, I do a lot of editing in notepad and forgot to transfer some of the edits over.

StarTale logo is their "old" one because they have yet to use the new one for anything. Probably won't change on uniforms until after this season.

Their coach said that they reverted back to the "old" logo because the new one was disliked by the community.

Prime and IM would be my predictions for winning. I think Bomber won't be as clutch as people imagine. NesTea and Mvp should kill off a lot of MvP if they get to play.


That makes way more sense.

If IM use Losira, Nestea and MVP there is no chance they will lose to MVP.

Betting on Startale to demolish Prime, and IM to beat MVP.

I'm going out on a limb and predict NSHoseo as the winners. They've got some amazing players, and have performed amazingly in the GSTL this far. Also, I'm a sucker for underdogs and Sage (along with Hero) looks to be the guy to save Protoss (Artosis, among others, shower him with praise).

Either way, it's surely going to be super exciting. :D

mvp a one man show? Its only a matter of time.
Monster knocked out MC.
Naniwa just got signed.
sC is on the team
DRG just won DH. Hopefully they'll do well.

Did you forget about Nestea? I know he hasn't been used yet but I bet he'll come out for playoffs if needed?

well thats cool, makes it much more likely for SC2 to incorporate it. I just feel like it'd be more good games, more chances for storylines, and woud really help prove that the winner deserved the win.

GSTL is a different beast all together. Here DRG is king. Here, nobody is favored against him.

I thought IM did not make the GSTL May due to not enough Code S/A players, with fOu and Zenex ahead?

Nice write up and predictions.

eh?

If MVP plays seriously in the GSTL, I don't see IM losing at all tbh.

Uh, sC shouldn't be able to play for MVP this season since the rosters were chosen at the start.

Thanks for the preview. I think Startale should handle Prime easily and IM vs MVP will be a letdown when MVP is sent out to snipe DRG, then proceeds to finish off the rest of the team.

Awesome write up, got me so hyped =)

Really think this first team league full season has been a big success.

2 little points:

ST's final week of play was vs fOu where Curious picked up his all kill.

GP has recently tweeted that he switched back to Toss again full time, so I'd expect him not to play random if he's sent out this time around.

I love the team leagues! Startale are the obvious favorites against Prime but I honestly have no idea IM vs MvP.

MvP has improved with the addition of sC (can they use Naniwa as well? might not make a difference but anyway) but IM's roster is so deep they might just use Nestea's monstrous ZvZ to snipe DongRaeGu.

Team leagues are so great. I'm just praying that the GSTL finals are even close to as awesome as the SPL finals were in BW this year. Go starcraft.
