Liquid vs coL will be decided by when coL chooses to put DRG in. If they put him in first: 5-0. If they put him in fifth, 5-4.

Bottom line: DRG > Liquid (EDIT: except for maybe Zenio, but they're both super gosu at ZvZ)

Plus KeeN, Genius, Noblesse, TaiLs will also be more than enough to beat Liquid, I like Liquid, but they're not going to win.

I see IPL got the "slim" package. I mean, TL's articles aren't that wide already, so cutting it in half makes you look like you want to pretend the article is longer than it really is.

I find watching team leagues as an online tournament far more entertaining. Keep up the good work!

coL.MVP is annoying as hell if they arent going to use a single coL player they might as well join as MVP.

Your predictions are worse some of em are very outdated and dont recognize recent transfers.

I find it funny that you think Quantic will beat Mouz. Even with Nani and Sase, it's entirely possible they get all killed. Empire is also incredably strong, but I don't want to put too much hope on them. If Prime plays a zerg player, I could see that giving them the most trouble, however Kas is favored against most of the players on that list.

Even with TSL's roster being a little weakened and drama abound in the house, I don't see how you could predict them losing 2-5 to ReIGN.

ReIGN is a fantastic team and all, but I think half of TSL's current roster could all-kill them without batting an eye. Inori, while good, is a PvP sniper for the most part, of which TSL only has Dream and Cyrano (You neglected to mention Dream in the write-up by the way).

Terran they have Polt, who could probably sweep ReIGN with one hand, and possibly even Ultimate. Also, Heart has been reported to have not left the team, but only the house and could still possibly be playing for IPL TAC.

Zerg is where they need to be feared the most right now: Symbol recently SMASHED through the Iron Squid Qualifier #1, stepping over Polt and Shine, both teammates, in the Semi-Finals and Finals respectively. Shine also has shown strong play lately, as well as HyuN Qualifying for Code A faster than even fOrGG. RevivaL as well has shown incredible play in the past, and word is that RagnaroK is in the team house as well currently.

Of ReIGN's current roster, I think only Artist and Kiwikaki stand a chance of taking games, and I don't think Artist could compete with any of the TSL Zergs in a macro game. Even if he does, Polt will just take him in a TvT and use his mighty marauders to pummel away at Artist.

Shine and Symbol have top notch ZvZ and SLush shouldn't be a problem for either of them to take out should it come to that.

Kiwikaki would easily fall to Polt's TvP in just about any situation, especially given Polt's recent dismantling of HerO in the NASL Sunday Showmatch.
do you work for TSL with all the threads and posts you make defending them saying how good they are lol
Other than that, good write-up. I can't wait for the IPL TAC broadcasts!

I agree.
Really disappointed at this article. The TL staff (excluding waxangel, who's on the contrary the best journalist in the sc2 scene) needs to step it up!

Some very biased and bizzare predictions. MVP are the GSTL holders. They should beat Liquid easilly and TSL is still way better than Reign in any state. Prime will beat Empire and Vile will likely get all killed.

I'm so hyped for this team league. Lots of solid korean and foreign teams. I especially look forwards to seeing Mouse and Prime in action!

Well, the predictions are debatable, but thats OK. It has become one hell of a text again. Kudos for that. There is actually just one thing I really disagree with.

Why the hell do you separate Hasu from Tzain, Mana and Morrow? I admit that he is in a minor slump right now, but that doesn´t change the fact that he is an absolute beast in team events. He always was (back in WC3, too) He alone carried the team on more than one occasion (a good example is the match in the EG cup VI vs. ItsGosu) and he also was the last man standing against Slayers (the victory you praised the team for).

Calling him a reserve player for the aces doesn´t give him enough credit, because he himself is a potential ace. He has proven that. The organisation itself speaks of the four mentioned as the A-Roster. Throw in the impressive back-up player biGs and the promising talent Marine and you have the solid foundation that makes Mouz so fearsome.

I just hope we can see EG vs Mouz.

That would be fun.

This is going to be such an awesome league. We are finally going to have a blend of Korean teams and foreign teams. These are the kind of tournaments we are going to need if we wish to successfully mix the foreign scene with the Korean scene, something that was sorely lacking in BW.
