Personally it wouldnt even bother me or for that matter you I guess if people were at least respectful. I really could not blame anyone that thinks MVP potentially could be laying down terror on Axiom Acer but they blatantly write your team off as not legit and unworthy while they should know better. Its about respect. I for that matter wont dare to say AxiomAcer is better overall but today you won fair and square and people seem to have trouble accepting that there are other teams out there capable of winning.

Congratulations. Beating MVP and IM is huge start

to be honest, i really thought IM to have a huge advantage over Axiom-Acer. Although HotS is a new game and therefore anything could happen (powers could shift). But IM showed great performance in the pre-season, AFAIR, so i gave them the edge, knowing MMA (dropplay) Ryung (at HIS time an outstanding performer) could also perform an allkill at their better days and they might be coming again.
I have seen scarlett several times now, beating Koreans. She actually has an amazing playstile. Its in the details, the Inf. Terran drops before storming into the widow mines, the creep spread the microing (losing only 3 drones to 10 bluflame Hellions???) and her aggression it is just fun to watch. I don't know if it is, that she has an unusual style - or (pls don't flame me now) the zerg race fits the foreigners more, cause it forgives minor mistakes a bit more (not saying it is OP) then for example terran - but i can feel/see that wrong and I am happy if you can correct me or give me some insight view.

They seem to have that team spirit that the old SlayerS teams had (obviously that didn't last), with all the animated discussions between matches and lots of supporting and cheering each other on. Good to see.

Oh you have no fucking idea. Page after page of "Lol Mvp 4-0 allkill, ez AxiomAcer", in combination with last weeks "carried by MMA, Axiom has no depth" shit. Oh I'm sorry doubters, we can't hear you, we're too busy finishing off a big plate of GSL CHAMPIONS.

Our guys work their asses off to get these results, nobody gets to detract from that.

And girls! Scarlett played superb today.

Great win for Axiom/Acer.

Also great response by TB. Should have recorded a 2 second youtube video of himself doing the ha-ha though

Congratz to Axiom-Acer!

So, they lose vs Mouzsports on one Day, and beat LG-IM on the next day? Good stuff!

Yeah that's really what it boils down to. Mvp deserves his fans and all that stature, as does LGIM, but just because we're small doesn't mean we don't have what it takes, our guys work so hard for their wins.

I don't know how people thought it would be a clear victory for IM. Axiom has almost as good a roster as IM in terms of star power, less depth sure, but you don't always need depth if your starts play to their potential, and they did today. Great win, keep it up.

There's always the potential for an all-kill, and people (including me) had big expectations of Mvp. Having secured wins against two of the most favored GSTL teams A-A will be recognized as a really good team from here on out.

I was especially impressed with Ryung today, he's really solid in all three match-ups.

Congrats to A-A. I have to admit I didn't expect to see them storming through the GSTL like this - I knew they had the players but I wasn't sure about the coaching. Seems they showed everyone what's what.

As weird as it feels to say this, LG-IM's Terran lineup is looking quite weak nowadays. Yoda has done very well lately and has always been fairly solid, but Mvp has never been known as a good team-league player and has had quite a drop in individual-league results, too. Happy just retired, and that's their whole Terran lineup. At the moment it looks like having strong Terrans is a big boon, so this might be a problem for LG-IM.

Holy shit, checking results this morning and for once I'm actually happy to lose a Liquibet. Are there vods for these matches, esp. Scarlett/MVP?
