Imagine if Flash and Jaedong were on the same team in BW... | ||

I'm going against the flow and voting for the underdog here. ZeNex has a considerable lineup of decent players, and they should be able to take out a few of the more prestigious teams out there. Now watch as they get eliminated by Slayers first round.  | ||

I just feel the way it plays out MVP could easily take out the whole OGS team. | ||

If Nestea and MVP are beaten though, oGs will win, MC is the boss. | ||

Sure, people like MVP, Nestea and MC are beasts on their own, but all it takes is a single bad map or a single cheesy loss for the entire team to lose momentum and lose.

Now watch as they get eliminated by Slayers first round. All-kill format puts a TREMENDOUS advantage on having 1-2 amazing players over 4-5 good ones. Look at SWL 2010-2011. KT is undefeated and their lineup is basically: Flash, Stats, and stable of scrubs | ||

KT is undefeated and their lineup is basically: Flash, Stats, and stable of scrubs While this is most definitely true with BW, SC2 is still a very new game still in it's infancy stages of development. We regularly see decent players get trashed by lesser ones using unusual or uncommon builds, and the proper BOs for each match-up haven't been fully defined yet. Just look at that 3-roach+ling build that's been floating around TL; the original author claimed to have beaten some decent pros with it, even though he was not necessarily at their caliber. Because of this, even teams with powerful players such as oGs and IM can be knocked out relatively early on if they face/use the wrong strat. We also can't discount the maps that we're going to be seeing; a good number of them have certain "gimmicky" features, such as destructible rocks or smoke screens, that can suddenly swing a game completely around. The new maps will also bring in an unknown factor as well, which certainly wont help. Just look at the last ZOTAC cup - MVP was beaten by Puzzle, MC was taken out by sC, NesTea was killed by aLive. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that it's incredibly hard to predict the winner of the GSTL. Too many unknowns, too many variables, too many uncertainties. Hell, we don't even know half of the players that will most likely be participating. Anything could happen. And in this scenario, I'm rooting for the team with: a) the largest lineup and the most options. b) the team that has players with, I find, a good amount of potential. | ||

but as for prime, mkp can be sniped easily, while any team up against IM has to have 2 snipers ready | ||
