Oh yeah! voted for MVP in Liquidbet and they didn't disappoint!
As has been said earlier in the thread IM coach has done some peculiar decisions earlier in the league and MVP is not a team to take lightly.
You need to construct additional pylons.

It's the playoffs, there's money and major pride on the line so yes. Also IM won the first team league and took 2nd in the second one so there was certainly pressure on them to make it top two again. Although everyone played a little wonky during the regular season playoffs are pretty serious, everyone definitely did their best , hell IMmvp did the 111 which he hates to try and secure a win.

MVP: lets send out DRG to stop happy allkilling us
IM: DRG? its ok. hes not been playing very well, lets test his ZvT ZvP and ZvZ before we actually try to take him out with MVP

nice move -_-

What? They send out MVP first before DRG's worn out and DRG wins. Then what? He'll run through everyone not named NesTea, and even that would be close. And it's not like they sent out bad players, YongHwa and LosirA are both great players.

For once, the IM coach sent out the right players at the right time.


are you completely out of your mind? when will you 15yolds stop overhyping players like its the end of the world? you re talking about MVP here, wake up.


getting upset just because someone thinks drg could beat mvp in a bo1 is cool

It's not really that serious though. The money on the line is pretty trivial compared to Code S, so a lot of the top players probably don't really practice all that much for GSTL specifically. It makes sense too, since the usual dominant players don't really perform that well in GSTL.

Anyone got the video of Prime going absolutely crazy when they found out they were in the playoffs?

They care.

See how depressed IM were when MVP and Nestea both lost?

Yeah they definitely cared. About pride and money.

If it wasn't for the team league, Slayers would have never been noticed. MMA would have never been invited to Columbus if it wasn't for the team league. Winning in the team league brings exposure, pride, and money. MMA and DRG both are as popular as they are today due to the team league.

What are you saying, do you think the coach could've fielded a better line-up? youngwha was cannon fodder, but the rest? Happy got a 3kill, Losira had an epic ZvZ, and I don't have to say anything about mvp and nestea

There's more than just money on the line for people, though. People saying that MVP and Nestea didn't try their best in the team league is like saying they don't really care. I'm not saying that MVP and Nestea played poorly or anything like that. There were other players on that team that have not had as much success at the IM elite squad. They would get a share of the prize money, too. It's an insult to say they wouldn't have "tried" or played seriously for them. Surely, nobody expected Tails to dismantle them like he did, but he played very reactive and took advantage of every situation he could. He played his ass off.

I wish people would stop discrediting what really happened here; the better TEAM won.
Gotta always protect them mcnuggets.

well you cant fault the IM coach for the his decisions in this match alone. He sent out all his best players.
MVP tried to do the sure way to win but how would he know that 1/1/1 was figured out by tails of all people.
Nestea made so many mistakes that he didn't deserve to win his game.
You got to blame the players themselves for the poor results. I certainly wish they do better next season as IM would probably beat MVP on most other days.
