StarTale fightinguuuuuu. Life all-kill, or DRG 4-kill into Life all-kill. Either works.

With the risk of becoming repetitive, Virus has retired, July is in the military and KingKong is no longer on the team. And Panic, who is starting for StarTale, is not listed on the roster.

mmmmm this one is hard. I feel like Startale may have fallen to 3rd behind MVP in team rank after losing Squirtle and PartinG. Life is the strongest player here, but both DRG and Sniper can take him out and vice versa. MVP has really been on the rise lately in gsl though, so I'm going with them.

5-4 MVP

imo MVP is the deeper team, but Life or Curious could come out and dominate. I expect MVP to get off to a good start in this match and then ST to catch up. I think 5-4 for MVP. MVP just has so many damn good snipers (Lure for PvZ, Dream for TvP, Sniper for the fan favorites Bomber and Life)

I'm just thinking about how freaking epic Bomber v. Dream would be oh my gawd. I'm also really pleased MVP is opening with Keen. He's good enough to defeat anyone in a Bo1. it seems to me MVP always sends out one of it's very inexperienced players in the first match and they would often lose so I'm happy plus who doesn't love the commander?

Going to go with MVP 5-3, I think they're stronger than Startale now.

Head for MVP, Heart for StarTale. Why must this be so ;_;

But it'll be great to see MVP OR StarTale at IPL, so it's a win-win situation.

Make it a big enough number and Bisu might play.
