I think you have it backwards. Slayers doesn't have the best players atm, but the fact that they use a carefully planned series of all ins against MC shows that they are the best team.

It's the difference that Cella brought. Team strategies require not only focusing on the immediate match, but the possible matches thereafter. Slayers would not have won over oGs if Cella had just picked someone (even MMA), and just said "Yo, just play your best game, glhf."

You could see it in the way that members of the Slayers team huddled inside the booth after every game quicker than any other team. At any given moment, 2 or 3 of the Slayers members would be talking with the person in the booth during down time. The entire team was behind every single player and every single stratagem.

(Side note, but Nestea's blind double expand with no spines was basically a large neon sign saying "Please 4 gate me")

Not trying to undermine MMA's skill, but still it has to be said(didn't read all pages) that both MC and MVP were on their 3rd game. Amazingly played, but I personally feel they are both more solid, but time will tell if that keeps going(and to mention july, well I'm still not impressed by him apart from being able to ignore other pro zergs and play the game like he wants to).

GSTL is still sooo amazing exactly because of this, there's so much "hidden" talent outside Code S/A. Amazing to see those players getting dug up and also the team spirit.

PS: I really really disliked how long it took Slayers to set up though, was a big damper on else epic GSTL day, waiting 10-30min each time :/
