Kevin did reveal the roster IM is sending to the finals during the cast (travel provided for 7 players max):

(Z)LosirA


No MVP or MC?
Not bringing the full power of IM I see...


MVP's wrist injuries seem really bad as of lately and last I checked MC is still sporting the SK tag. That partnership was clearly a loophole type deal to get one more heavy hitter on IM for the local GSTL, as well as give the popular MC a spot in GSTL. It wouldn't make alot of sense to send him to a foreign team event for IM over one of their own.
Anything worth doing, is worth doing right.

So let me ask a question: When you said in liquid rising that Taeja was the only player you aquired without the perspective of making him larger then he already was, did you expect THIS

You should never expect this, but always be open to the possibility.

Also, unfortunately you're misquoting me. I literally said to me TaeJa is a player with the potential to be a Code S champion, and that he could grow a lot in Liquid.

Will TaeJa represent Liquid in the Team Aces Face Off in San Francisco? Or will it be HerO?

Also, what are your plans with GSTL? The roster of team members was already not very deep, and with even fewer numbers in Korea right now, what do you plan to do about the new season?

The Aces Face Off is going to be tricky. It's played before the finals, which makes the player choice interesting because of the stamina required to play so many matches. I'm not a fan of the concept to have aces face off before one of the biggest team league finals.

GSTL is undecided right now.

Are you not afraid that TaeJa can have a slump soon like Symbol and DRG had when they after crushing everyone started losing everything?.

The word slump is grossly overused, allow the guys to lose before calling it a slump. I'm not afraid, everyone loses.

Can you give me a general update on how the players are improving? Obviously, as the head of the team, you will have faith in them but can we expect players such as Jinro and Nony returning to their original heights? More specifically, is their problem with practicing gone?

Some questions:

a) Have you decided on full roster to SF yet? If so, reveal please?

b) Was HerO predetermined to be the finisher for this series or did you choose Taeja as your fourth because Genius three killed?

c) I know this is a long shot...but any thoughts on having a team for next GSTL? If so, Sheth or Ret as possibilities for foreigner representation?

Cheers for all the great memories so far in TAC3, hoping more will be created in San Francisco. <3

a) Everyone and we'll fly Bumblebee out as well.

b) Depended on the matchups. I think it is a bad habit to blindly set your finisher regardless of matchup and strategy. It can be good but doesn't apply in all situations.

c) No thoughts at the moment.

what do you think about the "hybrid" nature of TL roster right now, semi-competitive (Hero/Ret/Taeja, maybe TLO) and semi-family like ?

My goal is to win and do so through making players comfortable. It's not the goal to feel comfortable and not be competitive in case that's what you thought. Internally we don't think like that, although I understand why it could feel that way for you.



how come you dont want any more koreans right now? gstl went pretty badly although it was a first time out and iirc taeja was unavailable for atleast 1 match? is it purely a money thing or do you just not want another player right now full stop?

Unfortunately TaeJa was booked to go to Red Bull before we got our GSTL dates. Originally GOM thought they could make everything work while avoiding conflict, but the Red Bull one slipped in there unfortunately.

We're not really looking at add a Korean right now, but I also have to say that these things are not absolute and depend a lot on the scene and its players. If I see a guy that I could see fitting well on the team then we would still try to make it work. It depends on so many things such as cost, team dynamics, current skill, potential skill, marketability, race (the sc one), etc.

Also do you think there is a stigma against foreigners in that people (And TL writers) always assume they will lose without actually looking at which team/player is stronger?

Sorry for that misunderstaning, what i wanted to ask was more like "did you expect that he could get THAT much better on TL while being already on top, mechanic-wise"
