Though that's easy to say after the games are played, but with ST's hype on it's players few gave FXO a shot, no matter if they won last GSTL or not. Fact is they didn't look that amazing going in to it either. | ||

ST weren't looking so hot either - with squirtle kinda slumping, curious falling in WCS to a foreigner, parting 0-4'd out of the ro16, life 0-4'd by soulkey, and bomber being inconsistent as ever, it's hard to say they were 100%. favoured, probably, but not even strongly so, since leenock and gumiho are intensely streaky and strong players | ||

A couple of Code S stars. Mix of Code A and B players. I think MVP is slightly favoured again because of their superior Protoss line vs only Tear, but Gumiho alone crushes MVP's entire terran line in team league quality. It will 100% come down to who wins the ZvZs. If Lucky can ZvZ out DRG or Sniper, FXO has a great chance. And most likely any ace vs ace potential would be ZvZ Leenock vs Drg/sniper. | ||

I am changing my team icon to MVP and adding Sniper's name to my profile to make sure they don't win | ||

I get what you're saying but really, they shouldn't have lost. I think their biggest mistake was not leaving their strongest player ( Life ) to meet Leenock in the end, I think if they put Squirtle out first instead and left Life for the end they would have had a higher chance to win the last game. Then again Life played poorly in his match and just went 0-4 out of GSL to ZvZ so who knows. Anyway, full credit to FXO for winning but this is just weird. IM also won the first two IPL team leagues and came 2nd in the third one. Yet they didn't do well in GSTL. Team leagues are just different from individual leagues. Some players just do better in this format plus in winners format, team depth doesn't factor in as much. Sometimes whoever has the hottest player wins. As the current Code S has shown, most of the top players can beat each other on any given day. So a lot of team league success comes down to which players performs on that day. Who knows, maybe if they played tomorrow, Life would have beat Gumiho and then go onto an all kill. | ||

TvZ back to being SC2's premier match up funny how the game looked so much like 2011 TvZ with its mediva harass, multi-prong attacks, and ghost usage | ||
