you answered half your question but in case you're still curious, the team rankings are here and for all you haters, I just LB'd ZeNEX over IM! remember this prediction when the upset happens~

Don't forget PoltPrime. He has improved so much recently.

Yeah I remember reading somewhere that oGs members can use TL members since they live together. Maybe someone else remembers that or has a link, I'm fairly certain it was posted here at some point.

Hongun and Anypro also really stepped up this season. I think it's safe to say Prime is back to being a top 3 team competitor
IM has some really good players, but their big stars (MVP, Nestea) haven't been doing do well lately. they'll stomp ZeNEX and probably either TSL or fOu, but i don't see them winning the finals again.
Recent underperformance doesn't necessarily mean much, and players who haven't necessarily owned it up in GSL have done amazing in GSTL (Seed, Squirtle, Bomber), and relative unknowns have roared out of Code A every season (Alicia, SuperNova) so in the end it could be ZeNexPuzzle all-killing IM in the first round, or MarineKingPrime going into beast-mode and wiping out all comers, or some random prodigy from SlayerS could help them win it all.
Bottom line-- it's the Nerd March Madness! Prepare your brackets with every expectation that they'll be in heaping ruins by the second round :D
Round of 8 matches are on the 21st and 22nd of March.
Here are my predictions as of now, feel free to share yours =D IM < ZeNEX; fOu < TSL; oGs > SlayerS; Prime.WE < StarTale ZeNEX < TSL; oGs < StarTale TSL < StarTale
ZeNex is a surpisingly deep team. They have a ton of players that are high ranked on the ladder, but not in the GSL. I don't expect them to do amazing but I wouldn't be shocked if they upset IM either. I hope MarineKing and polt step up and dominate for Prime and I also want fOu to do well.
A little off topic, but spring break is next week so I get to watch EVERY match!!! Yay for no school! :D
As long as we get oGs vs. ST with a July vs. MC rematch I'll be happy. It's pretty likely, too - if ST ends up sending out July (and he's one of the best players on their team, so it seems likely) I wouldn't be surprised to see MC demanding to be sent out and take him on again, plus he's one of the few players who's proven that he can take on July and win.

If those are the rankings, how exactly did the seeding work for this?
